Entry 18
2Chr 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters, also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.Where was he from?
Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and dwelled there.
Abram was called out of and sent into...... He was called out of his kindred, his country and his Father's house. Abram was sent into a land God would show him.
Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you:
We like Abram our called out of all we have ever known and into a life that God will show us, will reveal to us as we continue in Him by the Spirit, in faith and obedience.
We like Abram are sent out of and into, yet Christ, like Adam was sent out of and into as well. Adam was sent out of the Garden of Communion with God to till the ground from which he came.
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from from where he was taken.
So Christ left the Glory of eternal communion with the Father and came into the earth to till the hearts of men. We also are called out of the world and into Christ. From in Christ, we are sent back into the world, but this time as light. This time we are sent as vessels/epistles of Christ holding forth the words of life.
John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Matt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Phil 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
[...]
Phil 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Phil 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages.
Set your ears upon Him as you read.
1Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Cor 15:46 However, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Cor 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Cor 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Cor 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Cor 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
1Cor 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cor 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
1Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1Cor 15:57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Cor 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
John 3:8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
John 3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
John 3:11 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 3:15 That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
