NEVERTHELESS,

YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO SAVE YOUR SOUL

(James 1:21,22) Wherefore lay apart [repent, reconsider, change (“renew” Rom 12:2) your mind, separate yourself from] all filthiness and superfluity [Gk: superbundance] of naughtiness [Gk: depravity, malignity: evil, wickedness], and receive with meekness [Gk: humility] the engrafted [Gk: implanted] [seeded] word [of God inside you], which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word [Gk: logos] [via logic], and not hearers only, deceiving [Gk: misreckoning, deluding: beguiling] your own selves

 

EARTH AND WATER = GOD IS IN YOUR BODY

(Gen 2:7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground [Heb: earth], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [a part of Himself, the Holy Spirit]; and man became a living soul. [according to Wikipedia, man is 60% water]

 

A TREASURE IS HIDDEN IN THE EARTH (IN YOUR BODY)

BUT YOU HAVE TO DIG DOWN TO GET IT

 (Matt 13:44) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid [Gk: concealed: kept secret] in a field [“The field is the world (Gk: cosmos, universe)” Matt 13:38]; the which when a man hath found [Gk: get, obtain, perceive, see] [the first revelation of Jesus Christ (our salvation)], he hideth [“hid again” the Amplified Bible] [guards, protects], and for joy [Gk: cheerfulness, calm delight: gladness] thereof goeth and selleth [Gk: trades] all that he hath [ultimately, he trades his entire lifestyle, his manner of thinking, he trades his thoughts for God’s Thoughts], and buyeth [Gk: purchases; (specifically) redeems] [syn: converts, buys back; saves, rescues] that field [cosmos, universe] [i.e., he ministers to every “creature” in all the universe]

1.    (Heb 11:24-26) By faith [Gk: belief] Moses [Heb: drawing out (of the water): rescued] [ref: Gen 1:1-3; Matt 13:45,46], when he was come to years [“grown to maturity” Amplif.], refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter [and the inheritor of Pharaoh’skingdom]; Choosing rather to suffer affliction [Gk: endure persecution together] [“suffer the hardships” Amplif.] with the people of God, [rather] than to enjoy [“have the fleeting enjoyment” Amplif.] [of] the pleasures [Gk: uncircumcisions] of sin for a season [i.e., for a temporary time]; Esteeming [Gk: considering: thinking] the reproach [Gk: defamation, railing, taunting: reviling, upbraiding] [received from unbelievers] of [for believing in the Eternal] Christ [Gk: the anointing] [of God to be] greater riches than the treasures [the many enticing worldly things (wine, women, and song)] in Egypt: for he had respect [Gk: to intently regard, to look away from everything else] [i.e., distractions] unto the recompence [payment] of the reward

2.    (Mark 16:15) And he [Jesus] said unto them [His disciples (students)], Go ye into all the world [Gk: “cosmos” (universe)], and preach the gospel [of love] to every creature [Gk: formation: creation] [to every living entity in the cosmos; human beings are a subset of “every creature”]

 

THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE IS HIDDEN IN THE WATER (IN YOUR BODY)

BUT YOU HAVE TO DIVE DOWN TO GET IT

(Matt 13:45,46) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man [Gk: a (wholesale) tradesman] [potentially, every one of us is “a merchant man,” i.e., a frequent diver], seeking goodly [natural] pearls [a businessman, in the business of seeking the most personally profitable way of living out this life]: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price [a spiritual pearl, i.e., eternal salvation], went and sold all that he had, and bought it

1.    Commentary: “one pearl” = that is totally unlike all the other “pearls” (items of personal benefit) that may be found in this natural life. A pearl of great value requiring great sacrifice and having “great price” to acquire; however, this pearl is the absolute best, by far the most immeasurably valuable, the most profitable way for God and for you, as a servant (instrument) of God, of living out this life.

a.     Commentary: salvation = A foreign object as small “as a grain of mustard seed” (i.e., the Bible) is sown (inserted) as an irritant into the soft tissue of a living mollusk (shellfish, clam). The shellfish (shelled fish) reacts to the foreign insertion by completely enclosing, surrounding and separating the unnatural irritant from its natural self with layer upon layer (revelation upon revelation) of a substance (the Holy Spirit) physically called nacre that has a bit of luster (shine) herein symbolic of Godly thoughts.

2.    (John 4:5-10) Then cometh he to a city of Samaria [a mixed race of unsaved people believing an altered (changed) version of the first 5 books of the Bible (the OT Pentateuch)], which is called Sychar [Heb: intoxicant, intensely alcoholic], near to the parcel of ground that Jacob [Heb: heel-catcher (supplanter)] gave [Gk: committed] to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well [Gk: fountain, source or supply of water] was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied [Gk: to feel fatigue] with his journey, sat thus on the well [throne; lip]: and it was about the sixth hour [about high noon]. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw [up] water [for her “flock”]: Jesus saith unto her, Give [minister (sacrificial love) to] me to drink [that I may consume (receive) your love]. (For his disciples [who normally would have ministered that love to Him] were gone away [from Jesus] unto the city to buy meat [Gk: nourishment: food].) [to buy temporary provisions for themselves] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink [(sacrifice)] of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water [i.e., given eternal provision for the woman]

3.    (John 7:37-39) In the last day, that great day of the feast [of Tabernacles, “the feast of ingathering at year’s end” Exo 34:22], Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst [be in need], let him come unto me, and drinkHe that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly [Gk: (fig.) heart] [i.e., out of the well in his heart] shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the [Holy] Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 

 

(Matt 13:51,52) Jesus saith unto them, have ye understood [1] all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [a lay or ordained minister (servant)] which is instructed [Gk: a pupil; a disciple, enrolled as a scholar] unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder [Gk: the head of a family, master of the house], which bringeth forth [which issues forth revelations from his (spiritual) pregnancy] out of his [heretofore hidden (in himself)] treasure [of God’s Thoughts, i.e., God’s sown seeds growing (expanding) into maturity: Luke 8:11] things [God’s Thoughts (Seeds) becoming revelations] new and old

1.    understood = Gk: to put together, comprehend; to act piously: consider, be wise /// complete union.

 

 

 

 

Amen
