Hebrews 11:17 . For God’s sake, Abraham left his family and his country. Was God satisfied with that? No! Even in the strange land, God said to him, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love and offer him as a burnt offering.” (Gen. 22:2). Abraham obeyed and went to offer his son. Moses also sacrificed his princely position, the royal palace and all the riches and authority “…esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt” (Heb. 11:26). – H.H. Pope Shenouda III . #DailyReadings #Coptic #Orthodox #AbrahamAndIssac #Sacrifice #Tested #CopticOrthodox #PopeShenouda #HisPromise

“Next to the river Jordan, we look and contemplate, as if it is a godly scene before us. Our God Himself has been declared to us, for He is the Trinity. Jesus came to be baptized by means of John, the Lord by means of the slave, an example of modesty. In humbleness He showed us love has been perfected and fulfilled.” St Augustine #FeastofTheophany #Baptism #GraceofGod #salvation #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“He sanctified baptism by Himself being baptised. He was baptised not that He might receive remission of sins, but being sinless He was baptised to give to them that are baptised the divine and excellent grace. For since the children are partakers of human flesh and blood, He also likewise partook of the same (Hebrews 2:14) – flesh and blood, that having been made partakers of His presence in the flesh, we might be made partakers also of His Divine Grace.” – St Cyril of Jerusalem #theophany #epiphany #feast #HewasbaptisedintheJordan #partakersofHisdivinegrace #partakersofthedivinenature #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
