 • 1 Peter 5:1-7  John 16:1-16 and Rev. 22:3-21 separately

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 5:1-7

1 - So I urge the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ - as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed - 2 shepherd the flock of God that you’re among, exercising oversight, not as an unpleasant duty, but genuinely, as God would have it. And not for shameful gain, but with genuine interest and concern.

     3 Not domineering over those in your charge! But as examples to the Lord’s flock. 4 And then when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. {Of Life, not metal.}

     5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders, but all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another. For “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so at the proper time he may exalt you. 7 And cast all your cares upon him, because he cares for you.

            🌙 P.M. John 16:1-16

1 - “Behold” (listen) “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the meetings and groups. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think they’re offering service to God! [“A service to offer the god.”] 3 And they will do these things because they’ve not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I’ve said these things to you, so when the hour comes you’ll remember I told you of them.

     I didn’t say these things to you before, because I was with you. 5 But now I’m going to he who sent me, and now none of you ask me, ‘Where are you going?’

     6 But because I’ve said these things, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Yet, I tell you the truth, it’s to your advantage that I go away. Because if I don’t go away, the helper/sustainer won’t come to you.” {The born again breath of Life, the enabler, source of all blessing and glory.}

     “Of which, if I go, I will send to you. 8 And when he” {the Shekinah} “comes, he will convince the world concerning sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and concerning righteousness and judgment. 9 Concerning sin, because they don’t believe in me, 10 concerning righteousness, because I’mp going to the Father, and you won’t see me any more. 11 Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

     12 I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When he comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth, for he won’t speak of himself, but whatever {there} is to hear, he will speak, and {the} things coming will declare to you. 14 He will honor and bestow glory upon me. And that which is mine, he will make known to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. That’s why I say he will reveal to you what is mine. 16 A little while now, and you won’t see me. Then a little while, and you’ll see me again.”

 • Philippians 3:8-14  Matthew 21:23-32

            ☀️ Philippians 3:8-14

8 - Indeed, I (Paul) count everything else {worldly standing and acceptance} as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

     For his sake I’ve suffered the loss of all things and count them as nothing, in order that I may gain Christ. 9 And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ. The righteousness from God that depends on faith. {“Your faith has made you whole” from the inside, not the law that works upon us from without, and implies God could ‘owe us’ life. Instead, life is his gift.}

     10 What matters is that I know him, and the POWER of his resurrection, along with the fellowship of his sufferings, even willing to die {if that’s demanded by this world in the name of empire}. 11 That by any means I may arrive at the {first} resurrection from the dead. {Logically the first as all are resurrected.} 12 Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected! [Heb.11:40.] But that I press on and lay hold of that, for which I was laid hold for.

     13 Brothers and sisters, I don’t consider that I have arrived. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal. The prize. The prize which is the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. {Aka, more literal than we have known. Especially during His long second advent? Which is surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one, but with helpers serving called reigning? Outline, the Fall holy days of Leviticus 23.}

            🌙 Matthew 21:23-32

23 - When he entered the temple (on the morning of the fig tree having withered) the leaders - the chief priests and elders of the people - came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered, “I will ask you a question, and if you tell me the answer, then I’ll tell you by what authority I’m doing these things. 25 The baptism of John, was it from heaven? Or from man?”

     They discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he’ll say, ‘Why then didn’t you believe?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From man,’ we’re afraid of the crowd here, for they all hold that John was a prophet.” 27 So they answered, “We don’t know.” And he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

     {The Pharisees also literally feared the people somewhat, “lest the people stone them” Acts 5:46. Why they arrested him when he was apart from the crowds which gathered around him.}

      28 “What do you think?” Jesus said, “a man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in my vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered, ‘No, I don’t think I will,’ but afterward he changed his mind and he went. 30 Then he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I’ll go.’ But he didn’t go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They answered, “The first.”

     Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you! 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed. And even when you saw that, you still didn’t change your minds.”

     05/25 - GospeL Verses 

1 - When morning came, the leaders of the people - all the chief priests and elders - took counsel against Jesus to have him put to death. 2 They bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

     3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” They said, “What do we care? What is it to us?” 5 So he threw down the pieces of silver into the temple, and then he left and went out and hanged himself.

     6 And the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it’s blood money.” 7 So they took further counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this very day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of he on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field” as the prophecy stated.
