1 John 1 ~ fellowship with Him

1 John 1

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 

4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

The Scriptures and Roman History place John the Disciple in Patmos Island. We know Mary had passed on to Heaven and wasn't in Patmos. The Historian Tertullian, in A.D. 200, wrote, "In Rome, the Apostle John, having been immersed in hot oil, suffered no harm at all from it." 

Roman Emperor Domitian  - 81 to 96 A.D> banished John to Patmos. If John wasn't going to die politely being boiled in oil. Pesky. Historian Tertullian's testimony (De praescript XXXVI)

also records the people watching John survive Capital Punishment wanted to convert and become Christians. Domitian put John on an obscure Island quickly. John wasn't attempted to be killed in the Coliseum, but in a minor area - outlying the 300,000 person Mall of the Circus Maximus and Coliseum.

How to end John's Witness was studied by Historians and acted upon by the Emperor

Trajan (c. 53 - 117) Philosopher Pliny the Younger's letter to Trajan on the subject of the Christians and the response of Trajan to Pliny the Younger. On Early Christian Writings. How to torture Christians to discredit the claims of Jesus Christ.

Three of the islands in the Sporades were places where political offenders were banished. (Pliny, Natural History 4.69–70; Tacitus, Annals 4.30) Also John Foxe, 1583 'Book of Martyrs' in the early Church martyrs section. And early Church Father Jerome referenced Tertullian and the Eusebius.

Under Domitian, the Church split in half. Domitian Heresy - the Church is only for saints. Domitian tortured until Christians surrendered every fragment of the Gospels and New Testament he could find. 81-96. Because of Domitian – we have the word traitor. Part of the Church wanted to forever exile anyone who lied to get out of torture or gave up Scripture. Forgiveness is the business of the Church and Jesus Christ. Because of Domitian, we only have 15 fragments of the Gospel before 96 AD. But these portions exist and date to 30 AD. Hebrews 9 tells us when Paul wrote Hebrews, the Second Temple is in operation.

Until examining Papyrus 46 which is debated to be First Century Scriptures because of Verb usage. 300 intact Chapters of the Bible owned by the University of Michigan. This freedom was carried by the Christians running to save limb and Life.

San Giovanni Chapel Rome

Scripture and History agree.

Island of Patmos, Greece

John would have been in his first century 60s - in this century this was very old, trudging up the hill to the cave John would live in. Imagine making the journey uphill the first time on Patmos. Without anyone he knew in the world. Presumably John spoke Greek. The bones of Peter under the Vatican describe Peter as an elderly Jew, same decade 6os, with feet removed (from being cut down from the Cross). John was sent to exile as prisoner of the Emperor.

Well, he was older. Washed up, done in. No more ministry. John's task from Jesus was complete, Mary had died in her old age.  John was fortunate to be banished. Even if he was just utterly ruined. Alone. Isolated. Banished as a Criminal. 

Instead, history records John as alive and vital. Fighting Gnostics in the 2nd Century. Explaining Jesus to unruly Jews. Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon c. 180 writes of John's very long life into the 2nd Century.

John had someone who studied John's life

Polycarp probably died about 140 A.D. Polycarp had a role to authenticate orthodox teachings through his connection with the Apostle John: "A high value was attached to the witness Polycarp could give as to the genuine tradition of old apostolic doctrine." Polycarp was a disciple of the beloved disciple John on Patmos. 

Through Polycarp we know John gave his approval of the other 3 Gospels and knew of them. Peter himself wrote he had read all of Paul's writings in the Holy Spirit.

The Harris fragments tell of this connection claiming John was engaged in a battle with the Jews over Religious Law and the Divinity of Jesus, Gnostics. And this was linking John and the Martyrdom of Polycarp. The text of the Harris Fragments on Polycarp and John raises discussions on martyrdom and apostolicity, the earliest history of the important Christian communities. 

 We have not only Bishop Papias. And in the generation after Polycarp, then Irenaeus' letter below. He was the Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul. The three bishops form a historical chain. Witnessing to John's old age and vibrant struggle.

A Greek Letter of Polycarp

Revelation 1:9 states:
"I, John, both your brother and companion in tribulation... was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."

John the Beloved Disciple is ruined in his first century old age.

Instead,

John's Life is anointed by Jesus in the most extraordinary way. And even John lives the trouble Jesus says life is. And Joy. Because John has so much of God's Living Water in John, John's Life and Journey is going to say, "Give us this Day."

Would 60-year-old John trudging up the hill, utterly alone, have known how long he would live. And the people he would come to know.

My grandmother Anita, was not the Disciple John. She taught a Methodist Bible Study for 42 years to about 50 people. At age 89, Anita had a stroke and was placed in a Nursing Home. She spent 3 months phoning every relative she knew to help get her out. She actually could have walked to her home. But within the year, all the nurses could be found congregating in her room. Anita was known to set a timer to get outside to see the sunset every day. "Give us the Day."

Hebrews 10:24-30 

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

God is Good. Do we believe this? We wonder why God would create Hell. He does not. He expects us to contribute to Heaven before we are even citizens. Revelation is a Book of God having sorrow to make Heaven for the Beloved of God and not all of His Creation. Fire is the end. Hell is not generations of torment.

John's Life tells us in Troubles, to have faith and continue to find Heaven on earth and contribute to Heaven as a citizen of God's Kingdom.  We live Thy Kingdom Come on earth as it is in Heaven.

Zechariah 11 :1-16 ~ Open your doors!!! † ††

The News of $26.5 Million Dollars.

Unloved.

Zechariah 11 :1-16

Open your doors, O Lebanon,

    that the fire may devour your cedars!

2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,

    for the glorious trees are ruined!

Wail, oaks of Bashan,

    for the thick forest has been felled!

3 The sound of the wail of the shepherds,

    for their glory is ruined!

The sound of the roar of the lions,

    for the thicket of the Jordan is ruined!

4 Thus said the Lord my God: “Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter. 5 Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, I have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them. 6 For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”

7 So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slaughtered by the sheep traders. And I took two staffs, one I named Favor, the other I named Union. And I tended the sheep. 8 In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me. 9 So I said, “I will not be your shepherd. What is to die, let it die. What is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. And let those who are left devour the flesh of one another.” 10 And I took my staff Favor, and I broke it, annulling the covenant that I had made with all the peoples. 11 So it was annulled on that day, and the sheep traders, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. 12 Then I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, to the potter. 14 Then I broke my second staff Union, annulling the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.

The San Francisco Homeless have frequently been in the 2020 news year.

The San Francisco Chronicle went further:

"SF homeless department is understaffed and unprepared to handle crisis, report says

Trisha Thadani Aug. 7, 2020 Updated: Aug. 11, 2020"

We all understand the San Francisco Homeless Hotel Experiment didn't go well.  

The small Homeless Volunteer Organizations have seen Homeless moved into permanent housing go through a series of steps usually private organizations and Churches have carefully learned. With those in permanent housing encouraging their friends left homeless, to complete the steps from the Churches and organizations.

Systems of Governments can have resources, but still heart-to-heart human contact is the best motivator.

Really? Really.  How different are big government and small organizations and Churches. Let's start with the Budget.............

"According to the report, the Department has a nearly 26% staff vacancy rate and high turnover, insufficient contract oversight and $26.5 million left unspent."  

26% staff vacancy rate and high turnover, 26.5 Million Dollars to leave unspent!

It's fair to say, the most successful homing successes from Homeless Small Organizations and Churches don't have 26.5 Million Dollars to leave unspent. Or nice, high end freezers full of ice cream. The Budget is willing, but what is weak?

"The report, published in August, by the Budget and Legislative Analyst’s Office, paints a grim picture of a department tasked with handling one of San Francisco’s most vexing and visible issues."

Government Efficiency isn't being touted in a Huge Issue. It's so - - - ignored - in great heart manners, 150,000 people have moved from San Francisco during the Pandemic. Fled. Left. 

Last year, with more city workers Homeless numbers went from 6,000 people in 2018 to 8,000 people in 2019. Last year, San Francisco had human solid bowel movement waste complaints about the streets of San Francisco. These reports number 14,500 times. This year, 2020, I heard one outrageous guess this year to be a population of 150,000 Homeless in San Francisco.  (Sadly someone in San Francisco thought this was true in the Pelosi District.)

Why was the Trump Supporters attacked violently two days ago? 

Fear of EXTREME homelessness.  I personally believe this: President Reagan has a deep affection in my memories, but he made a mistake with mental illness hospitals being reduced. Homelessness increased. And now the states believing in less big government, with more Church volunteerism - vastly help Homelessness. The violent outburst was Homeless fear and fear of change.

2020 

Who is feeding the newly Homeless in New York City? The Church. 

Who fed the Astrodome containing about 25,000 Katrina victims? The Church.  Not the Red Cross in great depth. It was grid of Houston Churches who fed the Katrina Refugees, daily. All the way, 40 miles outside Houston to the Suburbs and packed hotels - still fed for an entire year by Church Volunteers.

When Crisis occurs, the Church steps up.

My Church works with Homeless learning the steps to Permanent Housing. The reasons for these steps are substance abuse,  other types of abuse and abused abused, even apartment maintenance to not want to flee a dirty home. And the inevitable other homeless visiting shelter and how to cope. Family relationships and relationships. Bill and income management. Making a stronger person.

What Role does Government take in feeding those in need.  

Let's look at Meals on Wheels.  Meals on Wheels is only made possible through a unique mix of government funding, support from individual donors and the volunteers that deliver the meals. ... Federal funding for senior nutrition: The Federal Government provides funding for home-delivered meals through Older Americans Act nutrition programs.

The funding is bare bones. 

What would the Scriptures say about bare bones?  

Leviticus 17:11 

For the life of the body is in its blood.

Bones generate blood and Blood is Life.

Life. The Volunteers in many areas work wonders with the canned deliveries. The Challenge is to stay within strict guidelines for the elderly, in items - like salt intake - and still remain tasty for those less restricted. Grocery Stores donate day old items, like cakes, to the delight of the older clients and the joyous volunteers. Minus the Diabetic Client. Yet, Celebration Happens.

Churches frequently bring Volunteers to Meals on Wheels.

What is Pro Life?

Pro Life is absolutely terrified of being sued for abuse. 

In fact, Pro Life, joins together Pro Life nationally to engage attornies to root out abuses and lawsuits before they occur. Why not give up? Being anti-abuse has been very successful for Pro Life. This is, frankly, a Victory of God Himself. You can be very assured your donation of usable goods and money to Pro Life is going to reap a Harvest as well.

The Dynamic Purpose of Pro Life and Pro Life  Church Volunteers even reaches to Homelessness. 

Actual Homelessness is going to be very tenderly referred, and with actual rides, to Homelessness Help Agencies. Seeing their clients overcome and being victorious over Homelessness.

How is Pro Life helping Homelessness this directly?  

The USA has had 60 million abortions since the 1970s. And if there is an abortion rally - you are going to find 59.99 Million MISSING abortive moms NOT CELEBRATING abortion. Pro Life offers forgiveness counselling for the post abortive parents. (At this point you are saying - how is this helping Homelessness?) What we proclaim as doing to the least of us, is being done to all of us. The next two paragraphs will explain.

 

How is this for all of us? Pro Life is a gateway to Not Being Homeless.

Pro Life has all types of assistance to those who are sometimes in melt down mode. 

More than ten percent of Homelessness is further caused by another form of counseling Pro Life does - parental counsel of abandonment of children ages 18 years to 24 years. This group is highly at risk for Homelessness. Post abortive parents without counseling are sometimes muddled up in concentric circles about parenting. Before you let depression sink in, realize how many abortive parents go on to have multiple, multiple children in recompense and are actually Wonderful Parents.

Ah, you might be thinking only Pregnant Young People. No. Nope. Nada. 

Pro Life Church Volunteers assist. Preventing Gateway Homelessness.

• Counsel the abandoned in crisis.
• Counsel the Pregnant.
• Counsel Young Parents
• Aid Babies, Young Children and Parents in counsel and goods.
• Aid sexual crisis. 
• Aid STD recovery emotionally and with testing.
• Aid the unloved.
• Great Help. 

In fact, Pro Life counsels people with Sexually Transmitted Diseases. A lot of STDs. (Oh no, my gosh, horrors the use of the word disease near Sex?!! Disease - a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.) A disease can kill you. In fact there are 4 STDs that will kill you.  And in 2016, there were 28 well known STD in the USA. STDs are a mental injury of some impact and not only a physical disease.

STD. 

This can lead to Homelessness. 

People generally Cry when they find out they have an STD. Especially those seeking only to be loved in loveless lives.

Pro Life counsels young people who need to talk to someone kindly about sex and relationships. Counseling to fortify and forgive the cruel mind games people play on each other who thought James Bond had it all together. Think again about Homelessness. And the role of Love and lack thereof. Sexual relationships and self esteem - a huge bond between Spirit and soul and strength.

The Homeless are homeless for many reasons.

What Role does Government take in helping those in need.  

Funding. And not overstepping morality. Morality like STD can be used in anger games. 

We need our Jesus Compass to keep games unplayed.

Jesus is our Strength. Because Jesus finds us Joy.

Our History. Our Nation was founded upon Religious Freedom. 

Civil Rights Strategies took place in Churches.

We don't find we remind ourselves often enough about our Church History.  

Civil Rights frequently met in Churches. Where truly peaceful protests were carefully planned. The Church is where the Civil Rights Freedoms began to be diligently and carefully given strategy to Build  us - all - up. White Churches. Black Churches. Not Republicans versus Democrats. One Body of Christ. Not Greek or Jew - instead where we all Encounter the Living God - Spirit.  And, actually, White Churches in the South. The North, too.  

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never forget. As a reminder in the Body of Christ, Martin Luther King, Jr. was indeed, indeed, indeed a Reverend of Jesus Christ.

Government isn't the point. Government is the pointer. Big problems, big government, buy buy buy isn't better.

The Crisis. The Comfort. We've learned this year fears increased insecurities. Our Comfort is from Father God. His vehicle is the Church.

Wail? Comfort. Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ.

John 10:9 

 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved 

and will go in and out and find pasture.

In Crisis, California took to the Beaches to Pray 

 His Good Creation !

Abba, Our Father,

John 17 ~ Glorify your Son that the Son may glorify You

John 17

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 

12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 

25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

This year we have all wondered, at least once, "Where is God?"

When we say Scripture supports Scripture, we also have to remember Jesus said to know Scripture is to know the Power of God. God takes His Word literally.

Jesus told us to pray, "Our Father Who art in Heaven." John 17 begins, "When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you"

So where is God our Father when we pray? 

Jesus has placed God in Heaven. Why do we close our eyes to pray and look down? What about the Bible Verses telling us Elijah found God's voice to be quiet? And not in the massive signs around Elijah.

Deuteronomy 31:8 

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Moses, in the Holy Spirit, saw God physically in front of them in this Journey. The Journey did not always lead them where they wanted. And yet Moses saw the future belongs and is protected by God. Moses did have extreme optimism and hope.

Joshua 1:9 

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua was actually worried when this Word of God came to him. God spoke to the fearful. And His Beloved.

Matthew 28:20 

Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

When Jesus tells us He is with us until the end of the age, 

Jesus is saying the Age of Jesus is Forever. And ever. Alleluia.

God's Position is Clear!

Hebrews 4:16 

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

The summation of John 17 is God being straightforward in John 14:

John 14:1-31 

Let not your hearts be troubled. 

Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 

Let not your hearts be troubled. 

Isaiah 41:10-13 

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My Righteous Right Hand. 

Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

God tells us exactly where He is.

Father God is the Creator of All Things. We know God sits on His Throne. God also says why do you think you can build me a house. God is near and far. He inhales our prayers. He knows our name and days before we are born. Jesus is saying God is everywhere. His Holy Spirit used to be said to hover over the waters in Genesis. Jesus placed The Light of God in the world and in mankind. When God says He holds us in His Right Hand, He does.

Isaiah 66 

Thus says the Lord:

“Heaven is my throne,

    and the earth is my footstool;

what is the house that you would build for me,

    and what is the place of my rest?

2 All these things my hand has made,

    and so all these things came to be,

declares the Lord.

But this is the one to whom I will look:

    he who is humble and contrite in spirit

    and trembles at my Word.

Abba, Heavenly Father,

2 Corinthians 1:22 

and He has also set His seal upon us, 

and has put His Spirit into our hearts 

as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.

Romans 5:5 

Now hope does not disappoint, 

because the love of God 

has been poured out in our hearts 

by the Holy Spirit 

who was given to us.

Father God has said a remnant will always remain.

I hope to be in that Number when the Saints go marching in. 

And because we believe, we help children, when it's not always easy to help. 

As Father God's child, 

we comfort those in extreme distress and emotion. 

We deal with endless details of another household to comfort the dying. 

We send aid to other countries to be the hands of Jesus Christ doing to the least of our brothers. 

We comfort the wounded and see to their needs. Even the oxen placed in our care, will have mercy. 

Living water of God overflow around us to be Grace upon Grace at home, near and far. We are unable to do all we could think of and see and touch, we need Jesus who fills every iota and completes all dots. Jesus is Grace upon Grace. Place us, Father, this day and always where You want us. 

Encourage and uphold us. 

We will remember our answered Prayers. 

And live this Day. Looking in expectation.

You will strengthen us and the ones we Love. 

We will Seek You first and find Your Kingdom.

Covering us with the Name and Power of Jesus.

Abba, Father
