Ephesians 4:11-15 ~ He Gave †

 







Ephesians 4:11-15


And He gave 
the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry,
for building up the body of Christ,
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.

Rather, speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the Head, into Christ.



Jesus, Son of God, Highest of All Names

Began His Ministry with 12 men of anxieties, wonder, spiritual blindness, bravery, great fears and faith. Jesus was fully able to pick. 



With His Father, Jesus places Himself even as an infant with two parents of wondering hearts. Willing, like Abraham, to move where God calls. And like Abraham, Jesus' parents had questions.



St. Augustine, 400 A.D.,  is incredibly well known as one of the people of God unwilling to pick Jesus in the early part of his life. With a very praying parent. The Patience of God as Living Water, willing to go where He will. And St. Augustine was to find Jesus and live in His Gifts. And in the Promises of Jesus.

The Light shines and has not been overcome with darkness.


The BBC Sutton Hoo Helmet.
 The backyard 1939 discovery was found by a widow recovering from her grief with her young son during a type of self-quarantine/isolation.



Sutton Hoo helmet was King Rædwald 600 A.D. of East Anglia and found as the whole UK Nation was enthralled to find the description of the iron one piece helmet is described in Beowulf.

King Rædwald was buried as a Christian.
With this amazing helmet on his left shoulder. He had followed Wodan and Rome, and worshiped Caesar. He was buried in his ship. UK, after all, is an island. The garnets above the eyes, cut like sunglasses, complete with cut garnets and gold-inlay with large eyebrows were from India. This is a well-traveled King.

And on King Rædwald's right shoulder are his two silver spoons, from finding Jesus and deciding in burial to dedicate himself to Jesus Christ.

The Helmet was on the King's Left Shoulder.

Ship King Rædwald is buried in.




The Two Spoons are Baptismal Spoons.
Evidently, King Rædwald preferred to be Sprinkled in Baptism.
The Spoons are engraved to Jesus and to St. Paul



Wodan is recognized to be a god of war — Satan. 1 John 3, we read today, fits as the BBC explains Woden about 19 minutes. King Rædwald leaves Oden and Caesar. Reverts some and is buried with Jesus on his right shoulder.



Beowulf, the Nation was delighted to find, has exactly described this Helmut. 
Amazing finding how intellectual and well traveled the 7th century was. 5th Century England is the first Christian Missionary work was sufficiently recorded. We find Patrick in Britain and Ireland was really on the cusp of Jesus Light of the world.

This is a unique YouTube find to discover what time at home can lead to. 
Found by Edith Pretty during home stay grief recovery.




This week we have had serious news from the U.K., 
Italy and the statistics of a weary population.


Galatians 6:9
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time 
we will reap if we do not give up.


Consider the areas where Covid is being Overcome.
Our friends saw their family leave the Carolina's to spend all summer in Colorado. My son vacationed in Colorado. My son called me from Aspen, Colorado and said this vacation wasn't a good idea, and he was worried. He was shoulder to shoulder with all the other unknown vacationers on the packed sidewalks of Aspen. 


However, Colorado didn't have many national reports of incredible closures and burdens. 
Amazingly, the Covid numbers stayed very low. The elderly strictly mitigated. Colorado closed indoor events like theater and restaurants. 

Never closed was: outdoor dining, hiking, strolling on the sidewalks.


Colorado has Declining Covid Numbers since November 12.
Overcoming.

Colorado's Covid has dropped from November 12. 
Colorado is  —  overcoming — the Pandemic with diligence and hygiene. Avoiding indoor theaters, restaurants. Everywhere alcohol hand sanitizers are provided. Masks are required. Mitigation. Even in cold weather, Colorado is doing quite well.

Winning over Covid is possible — now — as we wait for the vaccines.

John 1:1-5, 9-18, 48-51 ~ In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of mankind


John 1:1-5, 9-18, 48-51

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 anything made that was made. 

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. 

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.


14 And the 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. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Even the Emperor's Jewish Historian was commenting on the formation of Jesus followers not separating. This is not a disputed part of Josephus. After being Judean Army General, Josephus was first the Emperor Vespasian's Historian. And the photo of Vespasian is below. More people today know more of the Gospels than the Emperor and of Josephus.
























48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” 

The Oldest Christian Art is Roman. Telling us, “God is God of the Living.”
The Changing of the entire world was upon this time.


Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 

49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 

50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 

51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”



John 1:1-5, 9-18, 48-51


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 anything made that was made. 



4 In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind. 

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.



9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

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. <><
