            ☀️ Romans 8:3-10

3 - For God has done what the law, made weak by the human condition {“missing the mark”/imperfect nature} couldn’t do.

     He did it by sending his own Son {only straight out from God one} in the likeness of the human condition, to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to carnality {the self first and foremost nature} but walk according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the selfish nature, set their minds on the things of self gratification, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on merely gratifying the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set upon the flesh and selfish nature is hostile to God, for it doesn’t submit to God's law. Indeed, it cannot. 8 So those who dwell therein cannot please God. {“The flesh” doesn’t mean the body, which after all God designed. Matter is not the problem, imperfection is the problem.. It’s both entropy, and an abyss of potential, that concludes in death/passing away.}

     9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit oF God (His Spirit/Presence) dwells in you.

     Anyone who doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, doesn’t belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead {entropic/dying} - because of sin, the Spirit is life - because of righteousness.

            🌙 John 5:30-47

(Jesus continues to leaders of the nation, and the people around them.) 30 - “I can do nothing on my own. And what I hear, is how I judge, and my judgment is just, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of he who sent me.

     31 If only I bear witness about myself, my testimony isn’t trustworthy. 32 But there’s another who bears witness about me, and I know his testimony is true.

     33 You sent for John. And he bore witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony I receive is from man, but I say these things so you may be saved. {From death and its cause.} 35 He was a shining and burning lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in its light.

     36 But the testimony I have is greater than that of John. For the works the Father has given me to do, the very works I’m doing, bear witness, that the Father has sent me.

     37 And the Father who sent me has himself bore witness. But his voice you haven’t heard, nor have you seen him. 38 And you don’t have his word/truth abiding in you, for you don’t believe the one he has sent to you. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have enduring life. And it’s the scriptures that bear witness of me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me. 41 For my honor isn’t of man. {Not of mankind’s systems of professionals, titles, honors, esteem and awards.}

     42 I know you don’t have the love of God in you. 43 For I’ve come in my Father's name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in their own name, you receive them. 44 How can you believe, when you receive recognition from one another, and don’t seek the recognition that comes from the only God? 45 Don’t think I’ll accuse you to the Father. There’s one who accuses you. Moses! The one on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me. For he wrote of me. 47 But if you don’t believe his words, how will you believe mine?”

🌙 24 - The disciples were debating among theirselves, which of them would be the greatest. {Lol. Part of human condition.} 25 Knowing it, Jesus said, “The kings of the nations rule and those in authority are called great, and benefactor. {And what they give they can take away?} 26 But it’s not to be so with you. Rather, the greatest among you, should be as the youngest. And the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is greater? (In the world.) One who reclines at table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But here I am with you, as the one who serves.

     28 You are those who’ve been with me during my trials, 29 and I delegate to you, as my Father delegated to me, a kingdom. 30 That you may eat and drink at my table - in my kingdom - and you disciples sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” {Like the Hebrew judges of old?}

     31 “Simon Peter, Satan has wanted to break through upon you.. It will sift you like wheat” {beating the chaff/husk off the kernel of wheat}. 32 I’ve prayed for you that your faith not fail you. And when you’ve recovered, strengthen your brothers.”

     33 Peter said, “Lord, I’m ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

     34 Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster won’t crow in the morning until you’ve denied knowing me three times.”

     35 Then to all of them, he said, “When I sent you out with no bag, moneybag or extra sandals, did you lack anything?”

     “No,” they said. 36 “But now” Jesus said, “let the one who has a bag take it, and likewise a moneybag. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled, ‘And he was numbered with criminals.’ For what’s written is always fulfilled.”

     38 And they said, “Look! Here are two swords.” And he said, “It’s enough.” {Mood, atmosphere.. they were going out into danger.. That night, and the disciples later as well.}
