John 20:12-18 ~ My Father and your Father


Psalm 122

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
 "May those who love you be secure. 
May there be peace within your walls 
 and security within your citadels." 

For the sake of my brothers and friends,
 I will say, 
"Peace be within you." 
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, 
I will seek your prosperity.



This morning, I woke up thinking about the Garden of Eden and the Tomb Garden. This is Jerusalem's Botanical Garden.

John 20:12-18




And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, 
one at the head and one at the feet. 
They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” 

She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, 
and I do not know where they have laid him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing,
 but she did not know that it was Jesus. 

Jesus said to her, 
“Woman, why are you weeping? 
Whom are you seeking?” 

Supposing Him to be the gardener,
 she said to Him, “Sir, 
if you have carried Him away, 
tell me where you have laid Him, 
and I will take Him away.” 

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” 

She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” 
(which means Teacher). 

Jesus said to her, 
“Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; 
but go to my brothers and say to them, 
‘I am ascending to my Father 
and your Father, 
to my God and your God.’” 

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 
“I have seen the Lord”
—and that He had said these things to her.






Genesis 3:8-9

And they heard the sound of the Lord God 
walking in the garden 
in the cool of the day, 
and the man and his wife hid themselves 
from the presence of the Lord God 
among the trees of the garden. 

But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”


Jesus always brought with Him, immediacy. The word, immediate, was a frequent Word near Jesus Christ.  The Bible often discusses the Timing of God.  Many prayers, in the Scripture and ours, don't seem to be answered immediately in God's Plan.

These two verses are like the Biblical discussions of Adam. Adam ends as the fall of mankind has begun. Healer, Wonderful Jesus comes to be our Gift and Salvation. 

Paul, in the Holy Spirit, discusses Adam for a long time. And we can wonder, why.  Instead of Scripture repeating, this is the heart of Salvation. God's Love. The repair of the breach of Salvation. This is the immediacy of North and South and East and West to go forth in God.



A Garden. Seeking the Lord. The Lord answers. Jesus has made the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus is opening Heaven and His Father's Love. Our Father, The Christ of God, Jesus makes sure. Jesus creates the way to His Steadfast Love.  

In Jesus, we do not have to find the Lord. In Him, we live, move and have our being.




Our Rector at St. Martin's Episcopal Church is Dr. Russ Levenson, Jr. Russ did a marvelous interview
on National Fox News.  We are all, so sad, Russ is retiring. And even hope we would find him as Rector Chairman or Rector Emeritus, still visiting us.  











Abba, Father,


Know the Scriptures,
Know the Power of God.

And we will believe in the One He has Sent.

Surely, He took on our infirmities 
and carried our sorrows; 
yet, we considered Him stricken by God, 
struck down and afflicted.  

But He was pierced for our transgressions,
 He was crushed for our iniquities; 
the punishment that brought us peace 
was upon Him, 
and by His stripes 
we are healed. 

Each Day we are Blessed 
to ask for more
More Heaven on earth.
More Give us This Day.
More Daily Bread.

The Universe is upheld
by the 
Power of Your Word.

May The Lord God Almighty
His Son Jesus
surround and uphold us
in This Peace.
The Peace is Upheld by God Himself 
and 
we ask
His Blessing and Favor.



Gently, we hand You our Cares
knowing Your Hands hold
this so well.
Tenderly.
And we are Loved and Filled.

We give thanks for
Your Sacrifice
to bring those unworthy
to be adopted into Your Family.
Knowing we are not perfect,
have weakness,
flaws 
and sins.
And draw near to you with confidence
in Jesus Christ
according to Your Will
Your Word
Your Steadfast Love
and Your Promises in Jesus.


Dwell in us
and help us to be Pleasing to You
Dwell in those we Love and Honor
and help us to seek You first
and we will end well in Jesus Christ.


In the Highest Name 
of Jesus Christ,
Amen

EASTER 2024 ~ John, Matthew, Corinthians, James, Luke, A Crowd of Witnesses!



 



 


 

John 20


 

Now 
on the first day of the week 
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb 



Matthew 28:1-10


 

Now 
after the Sabbath, 
toward the dawn of the first day of the week, 
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

And behold, 
there was a great earthquake, 
for an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven 
and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
And for fear of him 
the guards trembled and became like dead men.

But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid! 
For I know that you seek Jesus!
Who was crucified. 
He is not here!
 For 
He has risen, as He said! 
Come, see the place where He lay. 

Then go quickly and tell His disciples that 
He has risen from the dead, 
and behold, 
He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. 
See, I have told you!” 

So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, 
and ran 
to tell His disciples. 

And behold, 
Jesus met them and said, 
“Greetings!” 
And they came up and took hold of His feet 
and worshiped Him. 

Then Jesus said to them, 
“Do not be afraid; 
go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, 
and there they will see Me.”


















John 20


I am ascending to My Father 
and your Father, 
to My God 
and your God.” 

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 
“I have seen the Lord”
—and that He had said these things to her.





John 19:26-27



 26 When Jesus saw 
His mother and the disciple whom He loved 
standing nearby, He said to His Mother, 
“Woman, behold, your son!” 

Then He said to the disciple, 
“Behold, your mother!” 
And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
















1 Corinthians 15:1-8



Now 
I would remind you, brothers, 
of the Gospel 
I preached to you, 
which you received, in which you stand, 
and by which you are being saved, 
if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you as of first importance 
what I also received: 
that 
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 
that He was buried, 
that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 
and that He appeared to Cephas, 
then to the twelve. 


Then He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, 
most of whom are still alive, 
though some have fallen asleep. 

Then He appeared to James, 
then to all the apostles. 

Last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared also to me.





John 17:17-19


Then Jesus answered, 
“Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 
Was no one found to return
 and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

And He said to him, 
“Rise and go your way; 
your faith has made you well.”



He appeared to more than five hundred brothers 
~ Narrow Path! ~





God is Love

Matthew 20



“For the Kingdom of Heaven 
is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning 
to hire laborers for his vineyard. 

2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, 
he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ 5 So they went.

 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.

 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ 

8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 

10 Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 

But He replied to one of them, 
‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?  Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge My Generosity?’ 

So the last will be first, and the first last.”


James 2:12-13



So speak and so act
 as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty! 

For judgment is without mercy 
to 
one who has shown no mercy. 

Mercy triumphs over judgment!




Luke 6:36

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

James 2:13

For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. 
Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Matthew 5:7
 
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.





Abba, Father, 


Know the Scriptures,
Know the Power of God.

And we will believe in the One He has Sent.

Surely, He took on our infirmities 
and carried our sorrows; 
yet, we considered Him stricken by God, 
struck down and afflicted.  

But He was pierced for our transgressions,
 He was crushed for our iniquities; 
the punishment that brought us peace 
was upon Him, 
and by His stripes 
we are healed. 

Each Day we are Blessed 
to ask for more
More Heaven on earth.
More Give us This Day.
More Daily Bread.

The Universe is upheld
by the 
Power of Your Word.

May The Lord God Almighty
His Son Jesus

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. <><
