“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27,28 . “The Lord presented to them the marks of His flock. These are they that hear His voice and recognize that it belongs to their Shepherd. They know the sound of His love and care. Therefore they adhere to Him and get acquainted with Him in new depths.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” John 8:51 . “Indeed, the Lord knew of another death and He had come to save us all from it- the second death, the eternal hellish death, the death of condemnation with Satan and his angels. This is the real death, whereas the other death is merely a transition. What is the other death? It consists of abandoning the body, dismantling its heavy burden and putting it away so that it no longer drags a person downwards into hell. The Lord speaks about real death in these words: “If anyone keeps My word he shall never see death”. St Augustine #dailyreadings #eternallife #neverseedeath #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisen

“whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” – John 4:14 . “Since our nature has deteriorated and become as hard as stone due to the worship of idols, and has become frozen in the cold of atheism and unable to progress; therefore the Sun of Righteousness arose (Mal. 4:2).In this bitter cold, the coming of the spring appeared, and the warm southern winds erased all traces of the cold; while the shining rays of the Sun brought warmth to the whole world. Consequently, the human race that had turned into stone on account of the cold, became embraced by the warmth through the Holy Sprit who is the rays of the word of God. It is in this manner that the Holy Spirit once more becomes like the water that grants eternal life (Jn, 4:14)… ‘Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters (Ps 114:8).” – St. Gregory of Nicea #LivingWater #HolySpirit #EternalLife #SamaritanWoman #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ChristIsRisen
