Greek Lesson Tonight at 7 PM Central Dayight - John 7:1-30

ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 71550 Stephanus New Testament (TR1550)

7 και περιεπατει ο ιησους, μετα ταυτα, εν τη γαλιλαια, ου γαρ ηθελεν εν τη ιουδαια περιπατειν οτι εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι

2 ην δε εγγυς η εορτη των ιουδαιων η σκηνοπηγια

scene, tent, tabernacle

3 ειπον ουν προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου, "μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εις την ιουδαιαν ινα και οι μαθηται σου θεωρησωσιν τα εργα σου α ποιεις

4 ουδεις γαρ εν κρυπτω τι ποιει, και ζητει αυτος εν παρρησια ειναι; ει ταυτα ποιεις,  φανερωσον σεαυτον τω κοσμω

5 ουδε γαρ οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον

6 λεγει ουν αυτοις ο ιησους  - ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω παρεστιν, ο δε καιρος ο υμετερος παντοτε εστιν ετοιμος

7 ου δυναται ο κοσμος μισειν υμας, εμε δε μισει οτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα εστιν

8 υμεις αναβητε εις την εορτην ταυτην; εγω ουπω αναβαινω εις την εορτην ταυτην οτι ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω πεπληρωται

9 ταυτα δε ειπων αυτοις εμεινεν εν τη γαλιλαια

10 ως δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην ου φανερως αλλ ως εν κρυπτω

11 οι ουν ιουδαιοι εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον που εστιν εκεινος

12 και γογγυσμος πολυς περι αυτου ην εν τοις οχλοις, οι μεν ελεγον οτι αγαθος εστιν αλλοι δε ελεγον ου αλλα πλανα τον οχλον

13 ουδεις μεντοι παρρησια ελαλει περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων

14 ηδη δε της εορτης μεσουσης ανεβη ο ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκεν

15 και εθαυμαζον οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες, πως ουτος γραμματα οιδεν μη μεμαθηκως

16 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους και ειπεν η εμη διδαχη ουκ εστιν εμη αλλα του πεμψαντος με

17 εαν τις θελη το θελημα αυτου ποιειν γνωσεται περι της διδαχης ποτερον εκ του θεου εστιν η εγω απ εμαυτου λαλω

ποτερον - one of two

18 ο αφ εαυτου λαλων την δοξαν την ιδιαν ζητει ο δε ζητων την δοξαν του πεμψαντος αυτον ουτος αληθης εστιν και αδικια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν

opposite of righteousness - αδικια - the a means not

19 ου μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν τον νομον? και ουδεις εξ υμων ποιει τον νομον - τι με ζητειτε αποκτειναι

20 απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπεν  - δαιμονιον εχεις τις σε ζητει αποκτειναι

21 απεκριθη ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις - εν εργον εποιησα και παντες θαυμαζετε

hen - one - 

22 δια τουτο μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεως εστιν αλλ εκ των πατερων και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον

23 ει περιτομην λαμβανει ανθρωπος εν σαββατω ινα μη λυθη ο νομος μωσεως εμοι χολατε οτι ολον ανθρωπον υγιη εποιησα εν σαββατω

24 μη κρινετε κατ οψιν αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε

25 ελεγον ουν τινες εκ των ιεροσολυμιτων ουχ ουτος εστιν ον ζητουσιν αποκτειναι

26 και ιδε παρρησια λαλει - και ουδεν αυτω λεγουσιν; μηποτε αληθως εγνωσαν οι αρχοντες οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο χριστος

27 αλλα τουτον οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν ο δε χριστος οταν ερχηται ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν εστιν

28 εκραξεν ουν εν τω ιερω διδασκων ο ιησους και λεγων καμε οιδατε και οιδατε ποθεν ειμι και απ εμαυτου ουκ εληλυθα αλλ εστιν αληθινος ο πεμψας με ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε

29 εγω δε οιδα αυτον οτι παρ αυτου ειμι κακεινος με απεστειλεν

30 εζητουν ουν αυτον πιασαι και ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον την χειρα οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου

Those in Church and Change or Die! seem to have
swallowed the Holy Ghost feathers and all.

Installation Service Pastor Jason - No longer works.
On February 8th, our new shepherd, Pastor Jason, was installed. The service took place at the Summit Town Hall at 3:00 pm. Many area pastor participated. It was an exciting time for our Hope members and friends to be able to welcome Pastor Jason and his family to Hope.

Pastor Jason is the one wearing the tie.

Duh....there's like four guys wearing ties in the picture... 

GJ - So you get the joke or not?

Hope in Jesus--WELS--extended a call to Ski at the same time he got the call from Tim Glende to start The CORE.

 Pastor Al Schleusener forgot to list
Hope Lutheran Church in Oconomowoc.
He is buddies with Rob Guenther, the WELS CP
who was frantic in protecting the Love Letter Pastor.

The former pastor was a chef, who subsequently resigned from the ministry. But Pastor Al Schleusener landed in China and came back to Minnesota.

Al and Chanda were married in 1998. After their wedding, they served for two years as missionaries in Taiwan, and had numerous opportunities for travel and exploration.But the ultimate highlight of their life together came in January 2003, when God blessed Al and Chanda with their first child, Kyla Marie.

Advent by Candlelight 2008
On Sunday, November 30th, the Ladies of Hope held their 5th annual "Advent by Candlelight" program. This program has been a wonderful way for Hope's women to prepare their hearts for the coming of their Savior. This year Wendysue Fleugge led the women in our celebration of the Advent of Christ with song.

In His Wake
The Thursday Small Group sponsored this tremendous event this summer. Invitations were given to youth from the ROC (Watertown's Recreation Outreach Center) to attend this day of Christian Fellowship and fun on the water. The event was held at the home of members, Cathy and Brian Porter. The day began and ended with prayer and devotion. Inbetween was packed with FUN!

Marathon - Fennel for the Good Bugs

Fennel looks like Dill, Queen Ann's Lace,
Poison Hemlock, Parsley, Coriander,
and other members of the carrot family.

Yesterday I obtained some Fennel, whose Greek name is μάραθον (Marathon). The famous battle scene in Greek history was the Plain of Fennel. The location sounds more majestic as the Plain of Marathon, where the Greeks defeated the Persians.

 The first Fennel runner raced from Marathon to Athens
to announce, "We won! Rejoice!"

This family of herbs and poisons is known for attracting beneficial insects. The plants are called umbellifers, or umbrella carriers, for their umbrella-like flowers. I had an enormous Poison Hemlock growing in the Hosta garden last summer. Once I figured it out, Almost Eden pointed out all the newborn Ladybugs crawling on the flowers. Although I liked having a Ladybug daycare center on the property, I did not like one associated with the death of Socrates.

I recalled one writer claiming Fennel was always crawling with beneficial insects, and one reader enjoyed the herb while in Italy. That sounded like a double blessing. As the expert gardening readers know, the whole carrot family is known for beneficial insects and butterfly attraction.

My method is to read about good additions to the garden - and pick up one at a time when visiting Walmart. I am aiming at beneficial insects (don't judge me). When plants are grown for pollinators in general or the bugs that attack pests, the result is a lot of activity in the garden - bees, butterflies, and parisitoid insects. The butterflies usually prefer one or two plants  which are perfect for their young, so Butterfly Bush may be good for adults, but not adequate for their young. Likewise, the best plants to build up the parisitoid insects are those that feed the adults who lay eggs where the pests gather.

Butterfly Weed is an attractive flower.
More people should grow it.

A famous example is the Monarch's need for the milkweed family, so I have Butterfly Weed growing in the backyard, carefully protected with mulch. Monarch caterpillars can feed on this plant and on milkweed, to grow strong and bad-tasting. 

Birds know that Monarchs taste terrible, so Viceroys have a similar pattern to make animals think they are Monarchs. No one has explained to me how the birds all know this and how the Viceroys decided to use color to protect themselves. Instinct? Nature? Evolution? Creation best explains this one example of the millions of micro-miracles around us. The Monarch does not prove Creation to the rationalists, but the Word shows us how this happened - not by accident, but by design.

My mother lived with us in New Ulm. She knew where the milkweed was growing, from her walks, so she brought home several fat caterpillars on a stem of milkweed. We fed them milkweed leaves in their jars until they formed their jade coffins with golden nails. They dissolved themselves in that coffin and formed a butterfly inside. When they were ready to leave, we let them escape.

The Monarch young feed on bitter milkweed sap,
knowing this will save their lives.

The Viceroys skip the milkweed sap
and use the colors to protect themselves from birds.
But they feed on willows, which do make them bitter.
The birds know more about butterflies than most of us,
another conundrum.
