His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness – 2 Peter 1:3 . . “We remember how He sought our salvation.. for our salvation He emptied Himself and took the form of a bondservant. He came in the flesh and endured the weakness of the human nature. He experienced hunger, thirst and fatigue. He suffered insults and passions. He was crucified, buried and risen. He was born in a manger to lift us up to His throne in eternity. He became the Son of Man to make us the sons of God. He took what is ours to give us what is His. He carried our sins to put on us His righteousness. – Pope Shenouda . #nativity #kiahk #orthodoxy #coptic #dailyreadings #holybible
