Hebrews 5:1-4  Luke 2:1-7

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 5:1-4

1 - In the earthly priesthood, every high priest from among men is appointed to act on behalf of the people in their relation to God. They offered gifts and sacrifices for sins. {The human psyche and conscience fears God. It’s not God who “is Love”, that needs to be appeased. There wAs the atonement, no doubt! Also called a ransom. And salvation/safety.}

     2 A priest can deal gently with the unknowing and wayward, since he himself has human weakness [astheneia - weakness, disease, infirmity, sickness, frailty, dependence, infirmity that causes inability to pursue or do what they would like to; from asthenes - “a” not, and sthenes - strength - without strength]. 3 So the {earthly} priest has to offer sacrifice for their own sin [hamartia - missing the mark] just as for those of the people. {Ps.40:6 - “sacrifice and offering you do not want”. Sacrifices for and on behalf of the people.} 4 And no one takes this honor for their self {of being a priest for the people} but only when called by God, as Moses’ brother Aaron was.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 2:1-7

1 - In those days Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to their own hometown. 4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David. 5 He went to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

     6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger (feeding trough) because there was no room for them in the inn.

Hebrews 4:12-16  Luke 1:67-80

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 4:12-16

12 - The word of God is living and active. It’s sharper than any sword for it penetrates even to the dividing of soul from spirit, and joint from marrow. It discerns and brings to light the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

     13 None of us are hidden from his sight, but all are fully seen by the eyes of him with whom is our account [greek word logos - reasoning].

     14 We have a great high priest. {Confessor, able to take the loose ends of life, and our life, and weave them into the beautiful tapestry God is weaving.} Because we have such a high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us - hold fast - {and rest in} our confession [homologia, homo-logia - literally “together-Word”].

     15 For we don’t have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. But he was tested in every respect even as we are, yet without sin [hamartia - missing the mark].

     16 So then! Let us, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find the grace that helps us in our time of need. {Which is now and every day.}

     (PSALM 68:13 - If you rest (enter rest) like a dove in the sheep’s pasture, you will have wings like silver with feathers dipped in gold.) {Radiant, reflecting light.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 1:67-80

67 - And the baby’s father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, 68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel! He has visited and redeemed his people! 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he said by his holy prophets of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies - and from the hand of -> all who hate us, 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child [John the baptist] will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give the knowledge of salvation to his people {those that are his, Jn.13:3 but the word “things” is added/inserted} as the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God! Whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high! 79 To give light to those who sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death. And to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

    80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit. And he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearing to Israel. {Microcosm.. everything in patterns.. progresses from small scope to full scope, like the adopting and message to Israel, and then the adopting and message to the nations. Smaller scope to full scope, including the advents of Jesus. Why the preoccupation with “missing the mark”? Because it can never work, it’s an “iron rod” / unbreakable measure. God iS Life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is two things, entropy, a process that “doesn’t quit” and an abyss of potential. The best news is, perfect, means the ‘end’ result of all this - greek word “tel” root of tele-scope, means the “end-aim” - can onLy be the veRy best one possible.}

GospeL Verses ~ John 2:1-12

1 - Three days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, his mother said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said, “Woman, my hour has not yet come.”5 But his mother said to the workers, “Do whatever he tells you to.”

     6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of washing, each one holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the workers, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them with water up to the brim. 8 And he said, “Go ahead and draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they did, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that was now wine. He didn’t know where it came from, though the workers knew. The master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the best wine until last!” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

     12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ Hebrews 8:1-10 ~

1 - Now the point is this: we have such a high priest, who is seated at the right hand of the majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy place, in the true tent set up by God, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, so it’s necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were upon earth, he would not be priest at all. For there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve a copy and shadow of the real thing. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God - “See that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.” 6 Now Christ, has a priesthood that is much more excellent than the old priesthood. And the covenant/agreement he mediates is superior, since it’s enacted on superior promises. 7 For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no reason to have a newer one. 8 For he reveals fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. And they did not continue in my covenant, and so I loosened my concern for them.” (Shielding fades..) 10 “And this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days” (failure/proof precedes success) - “I will write my laws upon their minds, and upon their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Scattered Over The Earth

Genesis 11:6-8

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

⁶ And the Lord said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. ⁷ Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” ⁸ So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

John 11:51

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

⁵¹ He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the dispersed children of God. 

~ "The City" with its mean streets, dark alleys and bright avenues - man's power - "responsible for all slain" since Cain slew Abel. [Revelation 18:24 "all slain"]
