John 12:1-8 ~ with Him †

 


John 12:1-8





Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 

2 So they gave a dinner for Him there. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him at table.



3 Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 


4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”

Jesus is the center. Lazarus, Mary and Martha know Jesus is the center. Only the man who turns away to pursue his own interests is  the one interested in the money.

What does Scripture say about funds and money
Paul discussed funds. He was a tentmaker. Peter owned a fleet of fishing ships. Peter's house was large and well-placed. Samuel had an Estate. So did Jeremiah. David and Solomon had tremendous personal wealth. It isn't that horrible money is discussed. No, Jesus is the Teacher in the Holy Spirit. It is that Judas is interested in the glory of earth, the association of the Temple officials. Judas is interested in Judas' glory.  Paul certainly knew the Temple officials. Gamaliel was a favorite of Paul's during a very significant Temple education. And Paul was taught where his heart should go. Paul did put his heart to Jesus.





The Brown Doors are the Nicanor Gate
with the Steps. The Wall is Secure and not open.
The 3rd photo is incorrect. Yet pretty!



The widow, who put in her coins, let the trumpets of the Temple carry the noise. All offerings were put down the trumpets - it was majestic, made an incredible noise, and kept hands away from the coins going down the shoots. The trumpets were located where the Women's Court became the Court of Israel. The steps leading up to the Gate of Nicanor.


The Gate of Nicanor is a pivotal point in Israel's History.  

Josephus wrote every time the Temple was destroyed - Solomon built Lord's Temple and the Temple Herods worked on for 70 years, the Gate of Nicanor was where money trumpets existed. The Nicanor meaning is The People of Victory. The Nicanor Gate is something very interesting. Josephus explains this gate - - - where the Gates opened from being locked to allow the invaders in the 2 times in Destruction of the Temple. The Gates were locked and priests and Temple officials hid behind the gates as the Destroyer approached. Josephus reports a miraculous event. The Hand of God unlocked the Gate of Nicanor.  Meaning, the destruction of the Temple was in God's Hands.  Yes, people screamed. 

It is up to us to make our hearts remain open to God.

Jesus tells us in the Gospels, He is not the most successful minister. In fact, Jesus said that His Children, who could come later, would show greater works than Jesus. Jesus is not so concerned by works, Jesus is concerned with the heart and soul open to Father God's Love. God of Love. Jesus dealt with Judas, with the 72 disciples who ran away, with the man of 38 years who was ungrateful for the healing. He dealt with nine lepers. And Jesus is Love. Jesus loved anyway.

Jesus told the mourning women as He went to his death, "Days would come." And the generation after Jesus would find the new lame did not walk, after Jesus ascended. The blind, who did not meet Jesus, did not see. The deaf did not hear. And instead of leaving them to what they deserved, that generation found this:


John 1

The true light, which gives light to everyone, had coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive him.

And yet to all who did receive Jesus, who believed in His name, Jesus the Christ of God gave the right to become Children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

God's Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory,
glory as of the only Son  from the Father,
full of grace and truth.


For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. In the prayers of the Apostles. Today, 2/3 rds of Christians tell The Pew Report, they know of a miracle, only explained by God from their prayers. 


For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.



Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

Your Kingdom come,
Your Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we also have forgiven those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

As Your beloved disciple John found,
Yours is the Kingdom,
the Power
and the Glory.


Abba, Father,

When we believe in the Highest Name of Jesus, 
we know Jesus covers us in His Righteousness.
We call on two parts of the Trinity, and the Holy Spirit is there with us - making two or more gathered in His Name.


We recognize we are transitory and see the unseen as eternal. 
Saying His will in our temporary state - mortality
is good. 

His will for this time on earth - we accept. For good reason. We were built to pass to death. Jesus gives Life. 
We are honoring the belief - His Good.

Daily Bread - Jesus is the Bread of Life. Our lives rely upon His Word. 
Man lives and the universe is upheld by God's Word.

We will do no effective works to clean up our sins. Jesus has nailed our sins to the Blood stained Cross. Jesus has killed our sin in His sacrifice. 

Jesus is sufficient and perfect. He who raised the dead son back to his mother. He who raised the dead for the official who knew Jesus was apart. He, who made the blind see again and again. Jesus, who held the leper and healed. Jesus, who welcomed the little children to Him.

We ask the patience of God Almighty. 
Presenting an open heart and not double intentions and selfishness. 

Asking God to make our path straight. 
Not riding a time with Jesus to glorify ourselves. 
Asking with open heartedness, for Jesus and Abba to protect us from temptation and evil.

For us to participate in His Love in His Kingdom, Power and Glory. 

Knowing we are part of the Body of Christ. 
God is Love and we cover the people we love with His Prayer and Love 
and know all our concerns are held dearly by the One who Loves us.  

In His Word we are embraced and loved, upheld by His Love tenderly. 

In Jesus, we rejoice. 

Amen

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
