Lord's Day - Today's Scripture Lesson - NKJV, Logos

By: Rev. Lynwood F. Mundy
Philippians 2:12-18

Light Bearers

12 Therefore, my beloved, (Phil. 1:5, 6; 4:15) as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, (John 6:27, 29; 2 Pet. 1:10) work out your own salvation with (Eph. 6:5) fear and trembling; 

13 for (Rom. 12:3; 1 Cor. 12:6; 15:10; 2 Cor. 3:5; Heb. 13:20, 21) it is God who works in you both to will and to do (Eph. 1:5) for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things (1 Cor. 10:10; 1 Pet. 4:9) without (grumbling) complaining and (Rom. 14:1) disputing, (arguing) 

15 that you may become blameless and (innocent) harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as (Matt. 5:15, 16) lights in the world, 

16 holding fast the word of life, so that (2 Cor. 1:14) I may rejoice in the day of Christ that (Gal. 2:2) I have not run in vain or labored in (Is. 49:4; Gal. 4:11; 1 Thess. 3:5) vain.

17 Yes, and if (2 Cor. 12:15; 2 Tim. 4:6) I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice (Num. 28:6, 7; Rom. 15:16) and service of your faith, (2 Cor. 7:4) I am glad and rejoice with you all. 

18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem.
