Hebrews 6:1-6  Luke 2:21-38

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 6:1-6

1 - Therefore let us go on from the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God {stage one?} 2 and of the instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead, and of aiónios judgment. [Aiónios is the adjective of the noun, aion, root of eon, but translated eternal or forever.]

     3 And move on, we shall do, if God allows. 4 For it’s nigh impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, have shared in the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 5 and have tasted the goodness of the message of God, and the powers of the coming age (“aion”) 6 and then have fallen away. It’s impossible - for us - to restore such a one again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God in their heart, and causing him to be ridiculed. {So if we’re teaching morality license, we’re working against God and his purposes.} 

            🌙 P.M. Luke 2:21-38

21 - And then on his eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

     22 And when the time came for their purification, according to the Law of Moses [after forty days] they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord at the temple, 23 as written in the Law of the LORD, it being written, “every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD”. 24 And so they offered a sacrifice according to the Law, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” {Parallel and patterned after HiS being the only begotten, only straight out from God, who is Life.. Genius.. Perfection, and is called and will forever be “the Firstborn (of) all Creation”.}

     25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit{Presence of God} that he wouldn’t see death until he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29 “LORD! Now you are letting your servant depart in peace! According to your word to me, 30 for my eyes have seen the salvation 31 you’ve prepared for all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the nations, and for glory to your people Israel!”

     33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed. 35 A sword will pierce through your own soul, and the hearts of many will be revealed.”

     36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the delivery and redemption [lýtron - full ransom-price] of Jerusalem.

28 - Then, when it was early morning, they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's palace and praetorian (court and guard quarters). They themselves didn’t enter, so they wouldn’t be considered contaminated, and could eat the Passover meal. {Which had noT yet occurred.} 29 So Pilate went outside to them, and he said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered, “If this man were not doing evil, we wouldn’t have brought him to you!” 31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Hebrew leaders said, “It’s not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die. [Jesus had said, “If I’m lifted up from the earth - signifying what his death would be” (the Romans crucified by lifting up on a pole or pole and beam, if so) “I will draw all to me” Jn.12:32.]

     33 So Pilate went back inside and called Jesus to him, and said, “Are you the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did you hear it from others?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom isn’t of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have been fighting, so I wouldn’t be delivered over to them. But my kingdom isn’t of the world.” (So why is there division among believers due to politics of “the world”- sadly some deep division and dislike on the part of some.) 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say, I’m a king. For this purpose I was born. And for this purpose I’ve come into the world - to testify of the truth. Everyone who’s of the truth listens to what I say.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

     After this, he went back outside, “I find no guilt in the man,” he said, 39 “but you have a custom that I should release one man for you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out, “Not this man! But, Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. [And had committed murder in a sedition, Lk.23:19.]

Tomorrows verses - Mt.27:11-26; Jn.19:1-13

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post..

Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)

John 12:20-36

 🍃🕊️11/03 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

       By Necessity Paraphrased

20 - Among those who were in Jerusalem for the Passover/Unleavened Bread feast were some from Greece. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and they asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 22 So Philip told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him. 23 And Jesus said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains only one. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, and whoever loves less their life in this world will keep it for enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there they will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them. 27 But now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this hour I have come. 28 Father, glorify your name.”

     Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there heard it and said it had thundered. But others said, “An angel spoke to him.” 30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 By this is the judgment of this world. And by this will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32 And I - when I am lifted up from the earth - will draw all to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We’ve heard from the Law that Messiah remains forever. Why do you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so you may become sons and daughters of Light.” When Jesus had said these things, he left the temple and city.
