Contemplations
“and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.” – Ephesians 2:16 . “No expression could be more authoritative or more emphatic. His death, he says, killed the enmity, wounded and destroyed it. He did not give the task to another. And he not only did the work but suffered for it. He did not say that he dissolved it; he did not say that he put an end to it, but he used the much more forceful expression: He killed! This shows that it need not ever…

“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” John 8:51 . “Indeed, the Lord knew of another death and He had come to save us all from it- the second death, the eternal hellish death, the death of condemnation with Satan and his angels. This is the real death, whereas the other death is merely a transition. What is the other death? It consists of abandoning the body, dismantling its heavy burden and putting it away so that it no longer drags a person downwards into hell. The Lord speaks about real…

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 . “The study of inspired Holy Scripture is the chief way of finding our duty in life. For in Scripture we find both instruction about our conduct and the lives of holy men and women delivered in writing, as real, breathing images of Godly living. These teachings are examples for imitating their good works.”-St. Basil the Great #dailyreadings #GodsWord #HolyScripture #ChristisRisen #coptic #orthodox

“whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” – John 4:14 . “Since our nature has deteriorated and become as hard as stone due to the worship of idols, and has become frozen in the cold of atheism and unable to progress; therefore the Sun of Righteousness arose (Mal. 4:2).In this bitter cold, the coming of the spring appeared, and the warm southern winds erased all traces of the cold; while the shining rays…

Contemplations
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. – 1 John 3:2-3 . . The sweetness of apples makes up for the bitterness of its roots. The hope for gaining a profit brings joy during the dangers of the sea. Looking forward to getting healthy would make it easier to take the disgusting medication.…

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 . “Regard as free not those whose status makes them outwardly free, but those who are free in their character and conduct. For we should not call men truly free when they are wicked and dissolute, since they are slaves to worldly passions. Freedom and happiness of soul consist in genuine purity and detachment from transitory things.” St Anthony the Great #truthshallmakeyoufree #freedominChrist #TheTruth #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisen
