He's doin light O My Lord.

divine scriptures at all times.

Amen.

A Christian podcast Ministry 

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,900
presented by father, jonard 
Lazar father. 

16
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,000
Jernard is a parish priest of 
the mud edit Parish of the 

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,100
Assyrian Church of the East and 
Turlock. 

18
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:18,800
California. 
Here's father, jernard. 

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,800
When a person has been drafted 
into a sporting game. 

20
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:28,300
Let's say basketball. 
Now, we cannot say that that 

21
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,800
person has gained Victory. 
No. 

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,200
In actual fact, the person has 
been drafted into a life of 

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,100
discipline training sacrifice 
until the final game. 

24
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,700
When victory has been won and 
has been conquered. 

25
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,100
It's the same with our Christian
Life beloved's. 

26
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:56,500
When we believe in Jesus Christ,
many claim that they are saved. 

27
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:01,300
But when we read the scriptures,
we see That there is an 

28
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:03,800
obligation. 
There are some Deeds there is 

29
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,500
that something that we need to 
continue to do until the day of 

30
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,500
salvation. 
Our scripture verses Philippians

31
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:19,400
2:12. 
Now these English translations 

32
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,500
that I will present are 
translated from the ship by 

33
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,400
version the official version of 
the Assyrian Church of the East 

34
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,400
and from the Aramaic language 
Philippians 2:12 states that 

35
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,800
therefore beloved seeing Paul 
writes just as you have always 

36
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:45,200
obeyed not what I'm need to you 
only but now when I am far from 

37
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,500
you all the more with all, these
are some of these are some key 

38
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,400
words that I want you to keep in
mind. 

39
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,200
We're going to talk about this, 
with all that is fear. 

40
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:05,200
And with trembling do this, 
Service of your life and some 

41
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,300
versions may say all read 
salvation but hey it do the 

42
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,100
service of your life that is 
work. 

43
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:21,000
The work of your life which life
the life that is in Jesus Christ

44
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:26,600
by Jesus Christ with Jesus 
Christ and through Jesus Christ.

45
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,900
In many versions, you'll you'll 
see the word salvation is used. 

46
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:37,100
And yes, you know it is rightly 
that if a person lives in Jesus 

47
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:42,200
Christ and with Jesus Christ 
through Jesus Christ, obeys, the

48
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Lord, Jesus Christ for the day 
of salvation and we'll see what 

49
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,700
that is. 
That person will attain will be 

50
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:56,200
gifted eternal life, but I'd 
like to use the word life more 

51
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,300
favorable than Vacation because 
I believe that is why salvation 

52
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,300
has been watered down. 
Salvation is just something that

53
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:11,400
happens at an instant. 
Let's read more verses in John 

54
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,500
3:16 Jesus says. 
And these I will I will tell you

55
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:20,899
the same dr. 
James Murdoch's translation of 

56
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:24,900
the shooter for God, so loved 
the world. 

57
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,900
That he gave his only begotten. 
Son, that whosoever believes in 

58
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:36,100
Him. 
Should not perish but should 

59
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:41,200
have life. 
Eternal, not has gained life. 

60
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,900
Eternal should have its you 
know, speaking in the in the 

61
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:53,100
future term George lamps 
translates for God, so loved the

62
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,700
world that he gave his only 
begotten son. 

63
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,600
So that whoever believes in him,
should not perish but have not 

64
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,400
has gained eternal life. 
Should have. 

65
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,100
It's a sense of Pride future to 
future tense. 

66
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,900
Let's read more and again, this 
is dr. 

67
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:20,700
James Murdock's translation of 
the procedure diversion, Paul's 

68
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,600
letter to Titus Chapter 3 Verse 
4. 

69
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,300
But when the kindness and 
compassion of God, our life 

70
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:35,600
Giver the fire not savior live. 
Give it a la magia. 

71
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Men don't talk about what this 
means was revealed not by works 

72
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,400
of righteousness which We had 
done. 

73
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,600
God, didn't send his son because
we were righteous st. 

74
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Paul goes on to say when we were
yet, sinners Jesus died for us. 

75
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,300
Not that we were worthy but not 
that, we were righteous or 

76
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:59,900
worthy. 
But according to his Mercy, his 

77
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:06,000
gracious, Mercy. 
He vivified not saved vivified. 

78
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
That means revived, he gave Life
To Us by the washing of the new 

79
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,600
birth and by the renovation of 
the Holy Spirit, which is 

80
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,000
baptism. 
Paul writes in his Second 

81
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,700
Epistle to the Corinthians 
chapter 6, verse 24. 

82
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:28,000
He has said, in an acceptable 
time have I heard you? 

83
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:34,700
And, in the day of life, life in
Jesus Christ, the new life that 

84
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:37,600
we receive in Jesus Christ 
through baptism, because we're 

85
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,900
being put to death and we are 
given life the life in Jesus 

86
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:44,400
Christ. 
I have aided you behold. 

87
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,900
Now is the accepted Optimal time
and behold now is the day of 

88
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,100
life in the Aramaic version. 
That should the version not 

89
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:58,100
salvation life. 
Yes, true. 

90
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,200
If we continue in this life, we 
will see the day of salvation. 

91
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,700
We will receive eternal life and
we will be saved from Eternal 

92
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:13,800
damnation. 
And when is that, when we, when 

93
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,900
will we receive this Ephesians 
4:30 and grieve? 

94
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:25,200
Not the holy spirit of God 
whereby, you are sealed for the 

95
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,900
day of redemption or salvation. 
There is a day of redemption and

96
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:36,500
salvation which is when the Lord
returns, let me read it again 

97
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,900
and grieve, not the holy spirit 
of God whereby you are sealed. 

98
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:48,000
When we baptize a child and 
infant, which is biblical and an

99
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:53,900
adult after the actual immersion
in water, the candidate, it's 

100
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:58,000
actually sealed by the right 
hand of the priest who has 

101
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,900
received the authority in the 
laying on of the hands. 

102
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:05,800
And by the oil of unction 
resembling, or representing the 

103
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,400
holy spirit, that person is 
sealed with the cross of Our 

104
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Lord, For the day of salvation, 
that person has not been saved. 

105
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:24,000
That person has not received 
salvation, but has shall have 

106
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,200
salvation, be a candidate of 
Salvation. 

107
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:32,900
If that person remains in Jesus 
Christ, and does the work of 

108
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:40,100
life, Mark 16:16, Jesus, 
commands, instructs and sets it 

109
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,700
straight. 
He who believes, he doesn't stop

110
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:49,400
him as he he who believes who 
has faith and is baptized as a 

111
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:57,800
deed and is baptized lives has 
life that the translation again 

112
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,200
in English language is 
salvation. 

113
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,000
And and at times the father's 
also use the term but not to be 

114
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,400
taken lightly. 
I'd rather use the term life not

115
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,300
to claim that I am saved st. 
Paul says, in 1 Corinthians 

116
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:16,100
chapter 10, those who are 
standing in faith, be careful 

117
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:22,200
that they may not slip and fall,
but continue the good fight and 

118
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,700
the struggle. 
So we have been sealed with the 

119
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:29,200
seller, the Seal of the Holy 
Spirit, we have been sealed for 

120
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,100
the day of redemption. 
That means we've been sealed 

121
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:36,300
with the Holy Spirit, which 
means that both Our spirit and 

122
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:41,700
our soul are impressed with 
God's own seal signifying. 

123
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:46,100
That we belong to him. 
That that we have been saved 

124
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:50,200
that, we belong to him. 
But what I want to concentrate 

125
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,200
on is the second part of Paul's 
second. 

126
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Part of the Philippians 2:12 
where Paul says, with all that 

127
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
is fear. 
And with trembling, do the 

128
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,800
service of your life or work, 
the work of your life in by way 

129
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,700
through Jesus Christ, what are 
these works? 

130
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:16,600
Praying. 
So redundant, right, so watered 

131
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,300
down. 
Yeah, that's what you say. 

132
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:21,300
Every time I have an issue, you 
told me to pray. 

133
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:27,000
I mean praying, yeah, it helps. 
But, you know sometimes, well no

134
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,200
praying is a very significant 
part of the work of our life 

135
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,100
with Jesus Christ. 
So John chrysostom writes, the 

136
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,200
highest good is prayer and 
conversation with god. 

137
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:47,200
If we stop there, I mean, Saint 
John continues, but if I just 

138
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,300
stop there, that's why it sounds
a little redundant and watered 

139
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:52,900
down here. 
I'm talking to God. 

140
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:55,800
I don't even see God. 
So, how am I supposed to talk to

141
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,300
God? 
But look at what he says, he 

142
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:02,200
goes on to say that because it 
means that we are in God's 

143
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,400
company. 
And in Union with him, when we 

144
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,800
are praying praying in the 
spirit, praying with a, with a 

145
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,800
contrite spirit, Praying in 
humility praying in worship, 

146
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:22,000
praying, in honor, in adoration 
to that, we are in Union with 

147
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800
him, noticing John doesn't say 
that we are in communion with 

148
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,700
God, but we are in Union. 
That is to be joined with God, 

149
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:33,400
in mind in Seoul, and in spirit,
but we're going to talk about 

150
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,200
the word communion. 
There is another deed and other 

151
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,400
work of our work with our in our
life. 

152
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,700
With Jesus Christ that Intel's 
So praying is an essential work 

153
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:50,400
of our life in Jesus Christ. 
No prayer means no Union with 

154
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,600
God, praying is an offspring of 
our faith. 

155
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:59,600
We cannot claim that we believe 
in God, when we are not entering

156
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,700
the presence of God. 
Can you claim? 

157
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:05,400
How can you dare to claim that 
you believe in God? 

158
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,700
You believe in Jesus Christ, but
there is no Union with The Lord.

159
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,600
And He, the father, and His Son 
and the Holy Spirit. 

160
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:22,600
You have faith in God, it needs 
to be united through prayer. 

161
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,100
If we have faith and we believe 
you night that Faith through 

162
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:34,000
prayer with God, just as faith 
without Deeds is dead James, 

163
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,300
chapter 2 verse 20. 
So to, we can conclude that 

164
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:41,800
faith without prayer. 
Lex our Union with God beloved, 

165
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:50,800
but we need to perform with fear
of the soul and the trembling of

166
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,300
the body. 
When we pray and you enter the 

167
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:01,100
Lord's presence, you cannot 
enter it so casually and slumped

168
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,500
on a couch and and you know 
waving your feet around and 

169
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,000
talking to the guy Ally God here
I am. 

170
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200
I remember one of them this is 
going back a while. 

171
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,000
I'm in Sydney we were looking 
for a place to worship and to 

172
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:19,100
offer a you know, celebrate the 
The Divine Liturgy of holy 

173
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:22,300
quote, Urbana in the city, those
who are listening from Australia

174
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:23,400
st. 
George? 

175
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Shin not Marita, but she hosted 
The margaritas in my travels. 

176
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,800
I think it was so we looked all 
over the place, we found this 

177
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,300
uniting church and was not sure 
if it was the uniting church 

178
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,300
premises or Anglican. 
I was speaking to the, to the 

179
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:44,800
pastor and and we got talking 
about the Aramaic language and, 

180
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:51,200
and back then, you know, spoke 
about the The Late Model who 

181
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,600
wasn't so fun. 
And of translating the Aramaic 

182
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800
language and what have you? 
So the Pastor said, you know, I 

183
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,700
totally understand father. 
He said the Eastern churches 

184
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:09,300
have truly preserved the 
reverence and sovereignty of God

185
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:15,100
because we believe at times that
God is the the bloat next door. 

186
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,100
I you see him and he said, hey, 
hi, hey, hey, you go mate, you 

187
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,600
know what's going on? 
What's going on? 

188
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,400
What's Happening, you know, but 
with the Eastern churches, when 

189
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,500
we pray When we hear the name of
God or Jesus Christ, if the 

190
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:32,200
demons shutter, we must tremble 
and fear because of his 

191
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,900
sovereignty, not that he's cruel
and he will, he will take 

192
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:37,800
Vengeance. 
But because of the respect that 

193
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,500
is why when we pray the father's
teachers, that women need to 

194
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:44,100
prostrate, we need to bow down 
in prayer. 

195
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,300
When we read the Holy 
scriptures, all those who return

196
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:50,000
to Jesus Christ because they had
received something for me. 

197
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Me, they came and worshipped at 
his feet. 

198
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,100
This is what st. 
Paul is talking about in 

199
00:14:56,100 --> 00:15:01,100
reverence, in fear, we come to 
pray and that is when you feel 

200
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,800
it, beloved, we say, I don't 
feel like when I'm praying, I 

201
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,500
don't feel it. 
Well, maybe you should examine 

202
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:12,000
how you're praying the process 
of your prank, the practicality 

203
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,400
of your prayer, close your door,
light your candle Have your 

204
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,500
gospel. 
There you have your have the, 

205
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,900
the the cross of our Lord. 
And on your knees, prostrating, 

206
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:29,000
before the Lord. 
Because we are entering the 

207
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Lord's presence, try, praying 
this way What about the Holy 

208
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,500
Eucharist but about a tradition?
It is through the Holy Eucharist

209
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:43,400
that we not only have Union with
God, but rather communion with 

210
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Jesus Christ, Our Lord that is 
sharing or exchanging of 

211
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:51,200
intimate, thoughts and feelings.
It's from a dictionary. 

212
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,400
Communion is the sharing or 
exchanging of intimate thoughts 

213
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800
and feelings, intimate. 
I say during the marriage 

214
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,700
counseling sessions when a 
couple Decide to get married and

215
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,600
you know, approach to approach 
the church to bless them in holy

216
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,100
matrimony. 
During the sessions, the three 

217
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:15,200
sessions that we're hey we have 
a allude to this and I say if a 

218
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,400
husband And a wife's 
relationship, lack the coming 

219
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,000
together as one body and I know 
I'm sure you, you know what I'm 

220
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,500
talking about st. 
Paul is quite clear on this in 1

221
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,800
Corinthians chapter 7. 
Unfortunately, you know what? 

222
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,400
I'm not going to go there 1 
Corinthians. 

223
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Chapter 7 coming together as one
body. 

224
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,800
Consuming the marriage that 
they're the couple have 

225
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,900
received. 
If that relationship that 

226
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:51,400
intimate relationship is lacking
we presume and always subsea. 

227
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:57,100
We suspect that there is a 
relationship problem and if the 

228
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:02,300
reluctancy or unwillingness is 
from one partner then that 

229
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:07,000
partner is the problem is the 
cause and that partner will have

230
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,700
to give an answer to So two 
beloved we as the church being 

231
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,599
the bride of Christ, who is the 
Heavenly bridegroom? 

232
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,400
Have a communion with the 
Trinity during the partaking of 

233
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,700
the all sanctifying body and 
blood of Jesus Christ. 

234
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,200
This is the Canon, the grace of 
our Lord Jesus Christ in a love 

235
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,000
of God, the father and the 
communion of the Holy Spirit, be

236
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,600
with us all. 
Let's read some scriptures and 

237
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,500
see how we have this 
relationship, John 15:5. 

238
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,900
Jesus says, I am the vine and 
you are the branches. 

239
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,100
He that abideth in me and I in 
him, he yieldeth much fruit for 

240
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,200
without me. 
You can do nothing. 

241
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:56,000
John 6:56. 
He that eateth my D and drinketh

242
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,300
my blood abides in me and I in 
him. 

243
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,400
There is a relationship. 
There is a communion Saint 

244
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,200
Cyril, Cyril of Alexandria 
comments. 

245
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:14,300
If one joins two pieces of wax, 
one will see that one has become

246
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,600
part of the other in a similar 
manner. 

247
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:21,800
I suppose the person who 
receives the Flesh of our savior

248
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,900
Christ and drinks his Precious 
Blood shall be one with him. 

249
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:32,100
Can we dare to say that this is 
not a work of the work? 

250
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:38,600
Our life in Jesus Christ with 
Jesus Christ by Jesus Christ 

251
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,400
through Jesus Christ. 
But we need to do it with all. 

252
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,700
That is Extreme, seriousness 
utmost urgency a matter of life 

253
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:53,700
and death spiritually. 
That is why we are constantly 

254
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:58,000
beating the drums, come to 
church on a Sunday. 

255
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:03,200
It's not about numbers. 
It shouldn't be about numbers, 

256
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:06,900
and if it is about numbers, it 
is wrong. 

257
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,200
It is non beneficial. 
It is about the body of Christ, 

258
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,500
the members of the flock of, 
Jesus Christ, Christians who 

259
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:21,200
have received baptism have been 
put to death with Christ, have 

260
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,300
been brought to life with Christ
and are living and want to live 

261
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:30,400
in Christ for the day of 
salvation must come. 

262
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,400
In a matter of urgency 
seriousness, I need to go to 

263
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800
church. 
I need to partake in the Holy 

264
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,200
Eucharist, I need to have that 
spiritual relationship with my 

265
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:49,100
heavenly bridegroom so that I 
can remain in him remaining in. 

266
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:53,800
Jesus Christ is not only through
prayer and believing and doing 

267
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:59,700
good deeds. 
John 6:53 255 and Jesus said to 

268
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:03,300
them? 
Amen. 

269
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,800
Amen. 
And I said because that's how it

270
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,800
is written in the shuttle, I 
mean, that means yes, yes, I say

271
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,200
to you emphasizing that I'm 
less, you eat the body of the 

272
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,100
son of man and drink his blood. 
You have no life, which life the

273
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:23,300
life that we have been 
introduced in, with Jesus Christ

274
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,800
through baptism. 
You don't have that life with 

275
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,200
You because there is no Christ, 
there is no relationship with 

276
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,000
Jesus Christ but he that eats my
body and drinks my blood to him 

277
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,900
is life eternal and I will raise
him up at the last day for my 

278
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:41,200
body. 
Truly is food and my blood truly

279
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,600
is drink. 
So John chrysostom comments on 

280
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,700
this and writes that Jesus means
to assure that. 

281
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:55,100
What he had said was no mere 
Enigma puzzling or difficult to 

282
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,500
understand. 
And or a parable but that we 

283
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:05,300
must really eat the body of 
Christ to remain in life, with 

284
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:10,400
Jesus Christ, to remain in that,
spiritual intimate relationship 

285
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,300
with Jesus Christ. 
Until the day of salvation. 

286
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,800
The day of redemption, Matthew 
26:26, take eight. 

287
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:22,000
This is my body. 
Jesus, commands. 

288
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Paul writes in his first epistle
to the Corinthians. 

289
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,800
The 10 verse 16, the bread, 
which we break, is it, not the 

290
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,900
communion of the body of the 
Christ? 

291
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:37,900
So the message of this episode 
beloved is not just the holy 

292
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:44,500
Corbin or prayer, but that we do
it in trembling and in fear. 

293
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
So the message of this episode 
is, do not take the work of your

294
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
life in Jesus Christ with a 
grain of salt. 

295
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,500
And we only spoke about to 
praying and the Holy Eucharist 

296
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,400
about arms giving what about 
fasting? 

297
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:03,800
And there are more that we 
haven't covered, but you work it

298
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,600
out. 
This is where you need to work 

299
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,000
out your life in Jesus Christ. 
Where do you stand as far as the

300
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400
deeds? 
And many will say Deeds have no 

301
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,000
effect whatsoever. 
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Matthew 

302
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,300
chapter. 16 Jesus says, when the
son of man returns in the glory 

303
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:26,300
and All His angels, He will 
repay every person according to 

304
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:30,800
his deeds, the work. 
That he worked while he was 

305
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,100
claiming to be in me and the 
scriptures are so vocal. 

306
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,700
So so loud on being judged, 
according to Deeds. 

307
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,600
Which pertains to Salvation 
which pertains to eternal life. 

308
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,600
Be serious. 
Don't let Satan through many 

309
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,500
means. 
Through his trickeries. 

310
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:00,600
Distort the truth. 
Same Peter writes this in his 

311
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,000
first epistle, 5:8 be sober and 
guarded because Satan, your 

312
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,300
adversary, your enemy like a 
lion roars and goes about and 

313
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:16,600
seeks, whom he may devour. 
And man, one of many ways, Satan

314
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:22,100
can devour is through falsehood 
and heresies and through how I 

315
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:25,200
believe I should live. 
My life in Jesus Christ. 

316
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:31,600
You know Christ didn't leave it 
open-ended he didn't preach and 

317
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,200
say every person for their own 
I'll accept no that's why Saint.

318
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:43,700
Paul writes Philippians 2:12. 
In fear with awe and trembling 

319
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,400
do the services of your life or 
The Works work, the work of your

320
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,900
life in Jesus Christ. 
Because the enemy is trying to 

321
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:58,300
devour, we're going to have to 
talk about this next episode. 

322
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:00,600
I will talk about the trickeries
of Satan. 

323
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,800
How does Satan plan work, and 
how does he execute his 

324
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,800
trickeries and his deception to 
the point where we believe that 

325
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,300
we are in the Lord? 
But when we searched the 

326
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:20,700
scriptures and we listen to the 
holy church, we see we are so 

327
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,000
distant. 
But Christ is gracious. 

328
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,300
Beloved the father is awaiting. 
All those who have left afar and

329
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:37,700
want to return one more time 
with open arms to embrace you. 

330
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:44,400
And I so let's be serious about 
our work, how we live our lives 

331
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,800
as Christians, and let's live it
in fear. 

332
00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:52,200
And in trembling that is in 
respect total revenue. 

333
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,900
To God, our creator to him. 
Be glory now in at all times and

334
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:58,200
forever. 
Amen. 

335
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:18,200
