Mark 12 ~ put in everything

Crown flash, similar to a Light Pillar, is a rarely observed meteorological phenomenon involving "The brightening of a thunderhead crown followed by the appearance of aurora-like streamers emanating into the clear atmosphere"

 A cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

Mark 12

1 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 

2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 

5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

6 "He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

7 "But the tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9 "What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven't you read this passage of Scripture:
" 'The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;

11 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes' ?"

12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.

13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14 They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn't we?"

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.

17 Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."

And they were amazed at him.

18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 19 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"

24 Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

32 "Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared:
" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet." '
37 David himself calls him 'Lord.' How then can he be his son?"
The large crowd listened to him with delight.

38 As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely."

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on."

Hello Wonderful, How was Your Day?

A beautiful vineyard reduced to squabbles and violence. Then grim Justice prevailed. A work of God. God is marvelous. To behold.

Then Politics, vengeance and hypocrisy. Stirred up fear, and the hypocrites slunk away.

A tax question and an answer with the finesse of God.  A debate about marriage, answered by the Word of God. Wise. Wonderful. Tender and filled with hope.

This joy is not far from the Kingdom of God.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." 

Being right about God. God's own Son. His Joy to see others love God.

Watch out for the presumed and posturing.  The fringe of His Robe wouldn't even fill these places. God is so far above man's ideas of "Religion" to His Very GLORY. 

Like Jacob going to Egypt, the widow put her all into her offering. With the pleasure of Jesus.

Jesus' day in Mark 12 had enough stress to go home and move with the Jewish Dispersion to wonderful Crete.  And yet, Jesus has found Joy in this day. As much as Jesus has brought awe, Jesus has found heart warming appeal in those discussing His Father. Enduring. Thriving.

Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God.

Jesus tells us Life is Joy. The fire Jesus is speaking is the Holy Spirit will always win.

The Goodness of God will Triumph.  The Father is Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Jesus said, don't just look to the obvious and well-ordered paths of life. Jesus sometimes observes from the opposite measures. The Christ of God sees greater worth in the more worthy aspects of life. 

If we see Jesus teaching us to find Joy in Life, we have to be contrarian in some aspects, to strive to live where Life is rich with meaning and purpose of heart.

Romans 8:26 ~ the Spirit makes intercession

Romans 8:26

 

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

 

Abba, Father,

This week, we have been blessed.

Father, You shelter us and surround us,

upholding us with new and inspiring blessings.

Thank You.

In seeing our blessings, we know

Your abiding Love and constant care.

Thank You.

This week, I have feel puny and had

some cold symptoms and upset stomach, help

strengthen me. I also ask for a friend

who is feeling weak and another friend with a prayer request.

Thank You for Your Love

and healing for my dog,

with profound ear infection doing much better.

We have a dusty project going on and I had

not noticed my dog, as my husband was coughing.

Thank You, for their healing. Love, tenderness,

dreams, endurance and Joy. Blessings.

Help us to deal with the mean. 

So many times, they need extra prayers

as this meanness is confusion for

mental hardships and sad thoughts. 

Created by fear, they cannot cope.

Creating copycat behaviors and ideas.

This tends to be repetitive and without innovation.

Illogical actions and words create the need

for prayer.

We pray for the Nation

Jesus Christ a Light within mankind.

Father, I lift up my family, as they

seek to voyage in a new phase of life.

I ask Your Love upon those I love.

Dwell in us. 

Help us to be a good dwelling for Your Holy Spirit.

Seeing Blessings and mercy.

Help us to See You and seek You first.

And we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Your mercy, Love and favor,

We Thank You.

Amen in Jesus,

our Wonderful Jesus. Amen

Isaiah 51:8-11 ~ His Righteousness will be forever, and His salvation to all generations

Isaiah 51:8-11

“My Righteousness will be forever,

and my salvation to all generations.

Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with strength,

you arm of the Lord!

Awake, as in days gone by,

as in generations of long ago.

as it not you who split apart Rehab,

who pierced that sea monster through?

Was it not you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made a road in the depths of the sea

so that the redeemed could cross over?”

“The scattered ones of the Lord will return,

and they will enter Zion with singing.

Everlasting joy will be upon their heads;

they will attain joy and gladness,

and

 sorrow and sighing will flee away."

John 6:35

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."

John 6:40

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Ephesians 1:23

The fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

Joel, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, said we will all see Him. Paul also wrote of this Glory. John tells us all people will see Jesus.

Ephesians 5

23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 

 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.  

28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

The mystery of faith. Really, we see in Ephesians 5 the state of Christ, as husband to the Church, is a perfect union in Heaven.  Something we will clearly live in Heaven. Beauty and Perfection.

Yesterday, we saw the divorce rate has fallen for two years, actually three. And marriage has only really fallen during the lockdown of 2020. No one has celebrated a ten percent yearly reduction in divorce. Perhaps it's Covid brain again.

The next sentence in the Above JPEG is marriage is falling. Not exactly. 

Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel Shall Come to Thee, Ooooh Israel.

Why isn't there a celebration? Why isn't there a celebration over the lack of inventory on the housing market? People are in pandemic brain. Sort. Sort. Sort. Think. Think. Think. Think. What Wot?

You have to celebrate what is good and let God sort it out if the Blessing changes. It's GOOD! THE DIVORCE RATE IS FALLING! Families Hold On to HOME. We are thinking. 81% of American's say they are praying, yet having doubts and suffering. Yet Praying.

Comfort, comfort my people and your people, says your God. Speak tenderly to your Jerusalem, and proclaim to him that his hard service has been completed, that both your sins have been paid for, that we received from the Lord’s hand double for all our sins. Be the voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for Our Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!"

Our Abba, Father,

You are the Lord God, You are Father and Son and Holy Spirit. 

We will behold the Glory of our Lord, 

as we are being transformed from one degree of glory to another.

2 Cor 3

Come Holy Spirit, let the Glory of the Lord shine forth.

We pray Your Good Creation

awakes to Your Love and Salvation in Jesus Christ.

We lift up Florida and the hardship of huge Hurricane,

Houston knows, we know. Oh Lord, have mercy.

We lift up Kentucky to continue to endure, survive

and thrive. Lord, give strength.

Texas would share Florida's rain. We pray the storms

to be shared and the droughts to be shared. 

Merciful Weather, please, Father.

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.

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, 

and all flesh shall see it together,

 for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

And in this we shall rejoice,

 for ourselves, 

our loved ones, 

the people God has given us.

Dwell in us, Father.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to always seek You first. Love.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

 Our God has strengthened us, 

Our God has provided Rest for us. 

And in God we will be found in Peace. 

Let Your Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus 

be our comfort, 

strength 

and blessing. 

Amen Jesus.
