“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19 . “As though the Lord Jesus Christ says to His disciples, “If you wish to love, you must suffer.” This is implied in His saying, “If you were of the world, the world would love its own.” If the world loved you, it would be evident that you wanted in yourself the world’s malice.” Saint John Chrysostom #Love #notoftheworld #dailyreadings #Holy50 #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisenandAscended

“No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15 . “We need to achieve the desire of our Friend (the Lord Jesus) and reveal to Him the secrets of our hearts.

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends.” John 15:13 . “The Lord Jesus Christ lay down His life not only for His friends, but also for His enemies and asked for forgiveness for those who crucified Him. The greatest proof of His love for them is that He sacrificed Himself for their sake as no human being may do on the same level. For He, the Creator sacrificed Himself for His creatures that He loved exceedingly. He died for men when they were His enemies.” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #Love #nogreaterlove…

“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Romans 8:12-13 . . . “Unless a man gives himself entirely to the Cross, in a spirit of humility and self-abasement; unless he casts himself down to be trampled underfoot by all and despised, accepting injustice, contempt and mockery; unless he undergoes all these things with joy for the sake of the Lord, not claiming any kind…

“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 . “They had not asked for anything until that moment. However, when He who will teach them to pray comes, they will ask for union with God the Father through the only begotten Son in the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus knows that a man’s spirit, that is to say, his rational mind that was created in the Lord’s image, cannot be satisfied except by Him alone.” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #askandyouwillreceive #prayer #dailyreadings #Holy50 #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisenandAscended

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. – Psalm 51:10 . . . Be ashamed when you sin, don’t be ashamed when you repent [To repent means to have a change of heart and mind. It is not simply a feeling of sorrow ,but a psycho/spiritual growth away from evil/death and a turning to God/life]. Sin is the wound, repentance is the medicine. Sin is followed by shame; repentance is followed by boldness [Boldness means to beg God for undeserved mercy]. Satan has overturned this order and given boldness to sin and…
