DEMAS ASSESSED
(I.E.) MENTORED BY THE APOSTLE PAUL
MINISTER DEMAS grew frustrated…Being on Apostle Paul’s ministry team was not fun enough. Sort of mundane. NO THRILLS or CHILLS…Also, life co-laboring, assisting Paul.. was too tame…as it was way too ordinary…because Paul was a servant leader. And always getting imprisoned and persecuted for The Faith…which meant, ” Oh, here we go again…Apostle Paul’s getting carted off to jail somewhere.”…HENCE…NOT A LOT OF BIG BELLS AND SOCIAL WHISTLES….
AND ALSO…No Adoring Mega Fan Club. So before too long, manly Demas packed up his cell phone, took one last parting INSTAGRAM shot, one mini TIK TOK, just for the record…so he could prove (brag ) later that he’d been there…then The Make Good Progress..restless Achieving DEMAS… bolted.
And since he liked exercise, Demas headed straight for the coast of Thessalonica where he could jet ski, cliff climb and always keep a golden tan…And…in addition he looked forward to being able to resume getting many mighty adrenalin rushes.. while competing with the many other residing big gifted extreme sports athletes!
YET, per Apostle Paul’s deep Eternity Ever Minded Contrast…..the concerned and ever Eternally Minded..ever sober…APOSTLE PAUL..a non celebrity, mentors each one of the modern us..
…2 Timothy 4:10…”For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; **
(**where the talented and gifted DEMAS undoubtedly delighted in the Thessalonican Seaside Lifestyle..hob-nobbed with the Rich and Elite…and as time went on…married his first, second and THIRD wife…also invested in time shares to beef up his real estate portfolio And died a wealthy investor, multi area club member and a respected Live Wire..as well as a renown natty dresser)
THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS… Mentored By CHRIST and MATTHEW
THE EXPANDED BIBLE VERSION (as never heard of this Bible version before)
19 Jesus said, “There was a rich man who always dressed in ·the finest clothes [L purple and fine linen] and ·lived in luxury [or feasted sumptuously] every day. 20 And a very poor man named Lazarus, whose body was covered with sores, was laid at the rich man’s gate. 21 He ·wanted [longed] to eat ·only the small pieces of food that fell [L what fell] from the rich man’s table. ·And [Even] the dogs would come and lick his sores [C dogs were viewed as despicable scavengers, not household pets].
22 ·Later [L Now it happened that], Lazarus died, and the angels carried him to ·the arms of Abraham [L Abraham’s side/T bosom; C the imagery of a banquet, with Abraham as host and Lazarus as honored guest]. The rich man died, too, and was buried.
23 In ·the place of the dead [L Hades], he was in ·much pain [torment]. ·Looking up [L Lifting up his eyes,], the rich man saw Abraham far away with Lazarus ·at his side [T in his bosom]. 24 He called, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am ·suffering [in agony] in this fire [Is. 66:24]!’
25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember when you were alive you had the good things in life, but bad things happened to Lazarus. Now he is comforted here, and you are ·suffering [in agony]. 26 Besides [L all this], there is a ·big pit [great gulf/chasm set in place] between you and us, so no one can cross over to you, and no one can leave there and come ·here [L to us].’
27 The rich man said, ‘Father, then ·please [I ask/beg you to] send Lazarus to my father’s house. 28 [L For] I have five brothers, and Lazarus could warn them so that they will not come to this place of ·pain [torment].’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have ·the law of Moses and the writings of the prophets [L Moses and the prophets]; let them ·learn from [listen to] them.’ 30 The rich man said, ‘No, father Abraham! [L But] If someone goes to them from the dead, they would ·believe and change their hearts and lives [L repent].’
31 But Abraham said to him, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not ·listen to [L be persuaded/convinced by] someone who comes back from the dead.’”
