Day 75 - Reading the New Testament in one year.
Praise Alert: Heather was back to church. Joshua is receiving rehabilitation. Blanca is in rehab…… improving.
Mark 14:54-72
54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
Peter Disowns Jesus
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.
68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.[a]
69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”
71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[b] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[c] you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

March 16th The nature of our spirit
“Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.” ROMANS 7:4
The Lord wants us to know that all the dealings with our self, all the many blows it receives, are to effect a transfer of our source experientially. By this transfer we become persons actually living one spirit with the Lord. For example, at home with your family, you live one spirit with the Lord — regulated and controlled by the Spirit. You are living out of the source of Another life, rather than living loosely, freely, and independently. Rather than rebelliously speaking what we want to speak, we actually experience a transfer. Everything He allows is for the process of bringing us into this wonderful transfer of our source.
Second Corinthians 5:15 reveals the experiential result of our transfer: “And He died on behalf of all, that those who live . . . ” To “live” here means not just to humanly exist on this earth, but to be living in union with the Lord. This is how we live. We live joined to this crucified, resurrected Christ. This is the truth. Everything else is a lie. The fact is that in regeneration we have been joined and married to Christ. And because we have been crucified with Him and raised together with Him, the very nature of our spirit is crucifixion and resurrection — crucifixion for the flesh, the self, the old man, and resurrection life for us to live one spirit with Him.
