Wherefore, if you desire to become equal to the apostles, there is nothing to hinder you. … Let us imitate those things whereby the apostles became great. And whereby did they become great? Hear Peter, saying, Behold we have forsaken all, and followed You; what shall we have therefore? [Matthew 19:27] … From all worldly things, therefore, let us withdraw ourselves, and dedicate ourselves to Christ, that we may both be made equal to the apostles according to His declaration, and may enjoy eternal life; unto which may we all attain, by the grace and love towards man of our Lord Jesus Christ to whom be glory and might forever and ever. Amen. – St John Chrysostom . . #imitatethemwhoimitateHim #martyrs #feastoftheapostles #StPeter #StPaul #examples #forsakeall #followhim #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #blesshim #preachHisname

Wherefore, if you desire to become equal to the apostles, there is nothing to hinder you. …
Let us imitate those things whereby the apostles became great. And whereby did they become great? Hear Peter, saying, Behold we have forsaken all, and followed You; what shall we have therefore? [Matthew 19:27] …
From all worldly things, therefore, let us withdraw ourselves, and dedicate ourselves to Christ, that we may both be made equal to the apostles according to His declaration, and may enjoy eternal life; unto which may we all attain, by the grace and love towards man of our Lord Jesus Christ to whom be glory and might forever and ever. Amen.
– St John Chrysostom
