We read in the gospel how the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, was tempted by Satan in the wilderness (Matthew 4: 1); Christ as a whole, the Head and the members – the church) was tempted; because Christ for your sake has taken a body; for your sake, received death, reviles and honor; for your sake He received temptation, and conquest. Therefore, if in Him we are tempted, in Him, as well, we shall conquer the devil.“On a Rock higher than me, You lifted me up”. ~ St. Augustine #Youliftedme #rock #shelter #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

+ There are three things especially pleasing to God. Illnesses suffered with patience, works done without ostentation and for His love only, and submission to a spiritual elder with perfect self- denial. The last thing will gain the greatest crown. – Abba Joseph the Thebite #martyrdom #suffering #salvation #copticorthodox
