“Christ did not gain victory for His own sake, but for our benefit. Having become a Man, yet He remained as God and conquered the devil. He, who has never sinned acquired victory for our sake, we, who were bound in death because of sin. The death of Christ conquered the devil, who was committed to deliver all those who died because of sin.” St Ambrose #FeastofEntryofTheLordintoEgypt #OutofEgypt #IcalledMySon #BlessedbeEgypt #Mypeople #HolyFamilyinEgypt #victorious #inChrist #thanksgiving #HolyFifty #Christisrisen #TrulyHeisrisen #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings

You ought to know, my brother, that you are in God’s hands ALONE. You are not in people’s hands, nor are you in the hands of trials nor in the hands of events, neither are you in Satan’s hands. But you are in God’s hands alone and God has carved you upon the palm of His hands- Pope Shenouda . . #inhishands #underhiswings #heisincontrol #overcomingevilwithgood #heisworkingallthingsforgood #trust #faith #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
