Christ has been fixed to the Cross, and all creation has been set free from the slavery of corruption. – St John Chrysostom .

The Great and Strong One desires an adulteress. I speak of the human nature. If one desires an adulteress, he is condemned; so why does God desire an adulteress to be His bride? He did not send one of His servants, nor an angel, nor an archangel, nor a cherub, nor a seraph; but He Himself, who loved her, came down to her. He does not lead her as an adulteress to the heavens, but He Himself descended to her. As long as she cannot go up to heaven, He descended on earth for her. He came to the adulteress, and was not ashamed to hold her while she was drunk. – St John Chrysostom . . #heseeksthelost #helovestheoutcast #hehealsthebroken #jesusforall #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
