Hebrews 10:8-13  Mark 2:1-12

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 10:8-13

8 - When he (the Son) said, “You (LORD) have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings, nor in burnt offerings and sin offerings” - these being offered according to the law, 9 he then added, “Behold, I’ve come to do your will.”

     And by this - he does away with the first (covenant, program, contract, legal document and testament, guarantee, promise) -> in order to establish the second. {Which the first was a shadow and copy of. A sort of replica of the true thing - and way - that was coming. Which God used Paul and others to reveal in their proclaiming of the good news, which Jesus had said to publish to all nations. Before Christ no one could understand what the old sacrifices were portraying and prophesying. That’s what Paul meant, not that he had been given a different gospel for the nations/gentiles/nonHebrews, but that by God’s grace and doing, he had been given the understanding (revelation) of what those old sacrifices were proclaiming. Which sacrifice was not to “please God”! WhaT do the sacrifices, or more exact, what does the literal and graphic sacrifice of Jesus, “firstborn of God” actually appease? WhaT needs to be appeased?? Not Satan, gone rogue angel/“messenger” as he’s certainly not an almost equal to God supreme being. Logic answers? Root word logos.} 

     10 And by that will {of God, and testament} we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {And so reconciled to Life/God, free from the death penalty, which straying/entropy/imperfection results in. And free from guilt.}

    11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin [hamartia - missing the mark] {this imPerfection/entropy, the fire and worm that “doesn’t quit”, imperfect and thus missing the mark, cannot make itself perfect and on target, but God iS life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, but an ant farm is no paradise}.

     12,13 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice/full payment for sin, he then sat down at the right hand of God - waiting - from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. {After things have run course. Otherwise? Why bother?}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 2:1-12

1 - Later, Jesus went home to Capernaum, and after a few days, word got out that he was there. 2 And so many came and were gathering together to hear him. It got to the point of being so crowded outside and about the door, that anyone wanting to come near, couldn’t because of the press of people.

     3 And then along came four men carrying a paralyzed man on a pallet bed. 4 And when they couldn’t get near Jesus because of the crowd, they climbed up with him to the roof, removed part of it above Jesus, and when there was a big enough opening, they let down the man on the pallet.

     5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Son! Your sins are forgiven!” 6 Now some of the scribes {‘experts’} were sitting there thinking, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?!”

     8 But Jesus, perceiving this, said to them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 9 What’s easier? To say to the paralized, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But so you may know the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” he said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, rise up, take up your bed, and go home.” 12 And the man got up, picked up his bed and went out as they all were watching.

     And all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this before!”

Hebrews 10:1-7  Luke 5:12-16

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 10:1-7

1 - For since the law (system) is but a shadow and example of the true reality of the good {system} that was to come, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.

     2 Otherwise, they would have ceased being offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins. [Of hamartia - missing the mark.] 3 But in the old sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year! 4 For it’s impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin [missing the mark, imperfection, being flawed/imperfect, which is opposite of God, who is Life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. Imperfect cannot make itself perfect. Entropy and corruption only go one way. BUT! An ant farm is no paradise, so this ‘quick’ one & done unavoidable yet all important contrast.]

     5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have NOT desired, but a body you have prepared for me. 6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings you take no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I’ve come to do your will, O God, as it’s written of me in the scroll of the book.’” {I’m convinced what needs to be appeased is the guilty human conscience and tricky psyche. And it has to be strong enough for even the worst of the worst actors of humanity and history. Our Father God “is love” (1Jn.4:8) not the angry ‘god’ (“of this world”).

            🌙 P.M. Luke 5:12-16

12 - And while he was in one of the towns, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 13 And Jesus reached out his hand and touching him, said, “I will, be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

     14 And he told him not to tell anyone, but to go and show himself to the priest, and make an offering, as Moses commanded for his cleansing, as a proof to them.

     15 But now more than ever the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But he would often withdraw to the lonely places and pray. {And the people would find him, and he healed all that came.}

07/12 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, they would have ceased being offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? [Hamartia - missing the mark.] 3 But in the old sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin [missing the mark, imperfection, being flawed/imperfect].

     5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have NOT desired, but a body you have prepared for me. 6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings you take no pleasure”. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I’ve come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” {I think what needed/needs to be appeased is the guilty human conscience and tricky psyche. Our Father God is love, not the angry ‘god’ (“of this world”).

Golden Calf

⁴⁰ The people said to Aaron, “Make some gods to lead us! Moses led us out of Egypt, but we don’t know what’s happened to him now.”  ⁴¹ Then they made an idol in the shape of a calf. They offered sacrifices to the idol and were pleased with what they had done.
