“I personally believe that John’s mystery can still be fulfilled up to this day: For man can believe in Jesus Christ, if he has John’s spirit and his strength in himself, so he prepares a perfect congregation to the Lord. Also if he has the toughness and goes through the narrow gate. Up till today, John’s Spirit and his strength precede the coming of the Lord Jesus.” Origen #Annunciation #StJohntheBaptist #Zechariah #ArchangelGabriel #Repentance #prepareyourhearts #Kiahk #SundayGospel #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
