“The Lord came fore this reason: to take away the sins of the world; for it is impossible for mankind to get rid of them except through washing them away. Therefore it is necessary for the person who believes not to depart from this world while bearing the old man. As long as a person does not, through faith, kill the old man, bury, and die in him (the old man), then he will go to that place and be punished for his earlier sins.” – St. John Chrysostom #believe #hetrampleddowndeathbyhisdeath #Hehasdeliveredusfromthepowerofdeath #ChristIsRisen #TrulyHeIsRisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
