It was His love for us that made Him incarnate, take our nature and bless this nature in Him. On our behalf, He obeyed the Law and pleased God the Father by presenting a God-fearing image of humanity. Due to His love, He died for us, “The just for the unjust” (1 Pet. 3:18). – H.H.

“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the LORD endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.” – ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1:22-25‬ ‭ . “Water, after being sanctified through the mystery of the cross, becomes fit to be used in the baptismal font and the chalice of salvation. As Moses the prophet threw the rod in the well of water, likewise the priest utters on the baptismal font with the testimony of the cross so the water may become sweet due to the work of the grace.” – St. Ambrose . . . #GraceOfGod #WordOfGod #DailyReadings #Coptic #CopticOrthodox

“And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” ‭‭- I Corinthians‬ ‭2:4-5‬ . Saying that the gospel was preached without words of human wisdom does not belittle it, but that, on the contrary, is the greatness of the splendor of the gospel, that it is divine and from heaven. The proof through words of human wisdom, and the cleverness of eloquence, is weaker than the proof by works and signs; Yet, to take away any doubt that those signs are like the deceptive kinds of signs presented by the diviners, he did not say: “in the demonstration of the power”, but said “in the demonstration of the Spirit”, then, “of the power” (4), to confirm that the things done are all spiritual. Saying that the gospel was not proclaimed through words of human wisdom, does not therefore imply any kind of despite, but is rather a great adornment; as it is a proof that it is divine, and high from heaven; Hence he adds: “that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God” (5). The proof by works and signs is greater that by words. – St. John Chrysostom . . . #CopticOrthodox #WisdomOfGod #PowerOfGod #Almighty #Coptic #DailyReadings #HolySpirit

“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation” — because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.” ‭‭-Mark‬ ‭3:28-30‬ . Indeed every sin and blasphemy are forgiven to mankind, not only what is said against the Son of Man. As long as there is no sin of unrepentant, which is addressed to the Holy Spirit, by whom the Church forgives all sins, all sins are otherwise forgiven. -St. Augustine . . . #DailyReadings #CopticOrthodox #Sin #GodSaves #Repentance #Orthodox
