Hebrews 13:8 ~ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Matthew 23:37 

How often I have longed to gather your children together, 

as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings

Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

 4 And God saw that the light was good.


John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

John 3:3
Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

John 3:5
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit."


Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Jeremiah 24:7
I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.

2 Corinthians 3:3
It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Ephesians 4:1-16 ~ builds itself up in Love

Romans 6
You have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness

Ephesians 4:1-16

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

8 Therefore it says,

“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”

9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 

15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace



Fight the Good Fight

Luke 9

And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And they departed and went through the villages,
preaching the gospel
and healing everywhere.


There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

8 Therefore it says,
“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”


Luke 9

10 On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. 

And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. 

12 Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 

13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” 

They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 

14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 

17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces



9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Luke 9
18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

21 And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”




11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, 
by craftiness in deceitful schemes.


Luke 9
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”




15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Luke 7

34 As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud

 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying,

 “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!”

 

Abba,

With Jesus, We will be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. With Jesus we will be equipped to work properly, and build us up in Love.

With Jesus we will pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. Our Jesus will not depart from us. We will walk and live in Truth and Love.

In the Strength of Jesus we will lift drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For ourselves and those we Love, we ask in Jesus every day to seek God's Kingdom first. To live in Love, Peace and Joy. And in all these things we are more than conquerors through Jesus who loved us.

In the Highest Name of Jesus Christ,
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of God's might, and because He is strong in power, not one is missing!

Amen Lord Jesus, Amen.

1 Corinthians 16 ~ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Papyrus 46, 1 Corinthians 13. First or Second Century Papyrus. Leaf 73 is 1 Corinthians 16, possibly smaller and unavailable on the photograph list. Included in Chapters of Papyrus 46 available from The University of Michigan. The University of Michigan did a large study on the way the Chapters fit on to the sheet of Papyrus. Calculations were made by the scribe to use the Papyrus wisely. Wouldn't this be wonderful to know if the scribe was looking at Paul's handwriting. Or if the strokes of the quill matched the pattern of Paul's handwriting.

1 Corinthians 16

Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.

5 I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

10 When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers. 12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.

15 Now I urge you, brothers—you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints— 16 be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, 18 for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.

19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.  20 All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! 

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Bodner Papyrus Letters of Peter (not Paul) Letters of Scripture.

.Why would God include .....Papyrus obviously more of a personal letter?

When you read the entire Chapter oF Deuteronomy, 34 Chapters, the word "I" occurs 161 times. About five times in a Chapter in Deuteronomy the word "I" is used. And in Deuteronomy, "I" sometimes refers to the Exact Words God was speaking to Moses and Aaron. Sometimes Aaron and Moses are speaking to each other about what God the Almighty has said.



Paul is vastly different.
The Holy Spirit is speaking differently with different talents and in the New Covenant.

I Corinthians is half the number of Chapters Deuteronomy has and the word "I" is used 121 times. Paul is referring to Paul 18 times in this one Chapter. Paul refers to ownership three times with the word "my". Paul's handwriting, Paul's love. Paul's spirit.

Why? The New Covenant.

Ezekiel understood this during the Second Exile in Babylon, with the Exodus being the First Exile.

Ezekiel 36

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances. 28 Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God.

Also ~ Jeremiah 31:31-34; Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 54:10; Jeremiah 32:40; Ezekiel 37:26; Hebrews 8:8-12; Hebrews 10:16-17


Paul says he will do something in a letter to Timothy, "After I know how it will go with me." Here Paul says he hopes and he intends, and let all you do be done in love. If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me. Paul is listening to his soul in Jesus.

A lot of the "I" of Paul is his action.

What is similar to this? Love. John tells us in all of John's Books we will need to understand God is Love before we apply God to our lives and decisions.

Jesus tells us in the Ten Talents, the servant with ten talents sees His Master as Good. He is willing to take on new opportunities, when given them, instead of shrinking back. Paul was amazing in going forth like Lazarus, "unburdened." There are a lot of "greetings" given and planned for. Faith allows us to worry less. Well, even the Disciples worried.

Optimism - noted, highly optimistic. And be watchful, there will be trouble. Let all you do be done with love.

Abba,

Recently Isaiah's Bulla Seal was found. There was a thumbprint, probably of Isaiah. And the marks of the letters were probably made by Isaiah himself. We have found the handwriting of Isaiah. A Gift of God.

We give You thanks for Jesus and His Holy Spirit. And recognize we do not yet have Paul's handwriting, we are within the ability to use our Holy Spirit to feel Jesus direct our lives and participate with continual prayer and looking for our Blessings like Easter Eggs. To know the Scriptures and know the Power of God.

We are privileged in Jesus to say with His Authority and Grace upon Grace, we want to see more Heaven upon earth for Your Good Will. Privileged to know to be Grateful for Give us this Day. To know that the Transfiguration was given for John to Recognize Jesus. To know His Kingdom, His Power and His Glory. To do like Isaiah and say with awe and wonder, "Send me, Lord!" And in the Wonder of God to have the ability to find more Blessings and give Comfort as we have been Comforted.

Thank You for Jesus and Your Holy Spirit ~ Comforter.

Blessed to ask for Your Help to seek and find Your Kingdom first. To ask to live in Love, Peace and Joy. To have You as our Strength.

To pray impudently until the last hour for those we Love. To have Jesus and know the Wonder of His Life guiding us. In this day - this give me the Day.

In the Steadfast Love of God for yesterday, today and tomorrow - Your Creation is Good. To say to You, delight us to see Nations come to Your Glory in Jesus Christ.

Tomorrow~ 
We will find more, we are assured in the Holy Spirit. And in expectation of God, we Believe Notre Dam will rise and so will we with our loved Ones in Jesus Christ.
