“The word of God is a spring of light. The light therefore fills, and the light shines, and illumines the senses of the faithful. For from Him and in Him shines, and those who partake of Him shine.

“The Baptist does not say: ‘The wrath of God will descend on him’ but rather ‘the wrath of God abides on him.’All those who have been born vulnerable to death are subject to the wrath of God. And what is the wrath of God other than the wrath first caused by Adam…from this genealogy the Son has come, without sin, and was covered with the flesh that is subject to death. If He has shared with us the wrath of God when He bore our sins, then why are we reluctant and slow to share with Him the grace of God? Therefore he who does not believe, the wrath of God abides on him. Why is God angry? According to the apostle, ‘we were by nature children of wrath, just as others’ (Eph 2:3). All are children of wrath, since they are the outcome of the curse of death. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, for he became vulnerable to death for your sakes. He lived while you were dead. He died so that you may live. He has brought the grace of God, and torn away His wrath. God has conquered death so that death would not conquer man.” St. Augustine #DormitionofStMary #Theotokos #JesusChrist #SonofGod #everlastinglife #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
