1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
In the name of the glorious 
Trinity, Father and Son and Holy

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,200
Spirit, forever Amen. 
Glory be to the. 

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Everlasting mercies which? 
Sent you to us, O Christ, the 

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,880
light of the world and the life 
of all. 

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,080
Give us wisdom. 
By your law and enlighten our 

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,240
impulses. 
By your knowledge, sanctify our 

7
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,360
souls by your truth, and grant 
that we may be obedient to your 

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,760
words. 
And May. 

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,760
Fulfill your commandments at 
every hour. 

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,960
O you who? 
Enlightens the rationale with 

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,080
the knowledge of Your greatness.
Do enlight, O my Lord, our 

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,640
thoughts, that we may meditate 
upon Your holy and divine 

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,040
scriptures at all times, O Lord.
Of all. 

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,280
Father and Son and Holy Spirit. 
Forever. 

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Amen. 
The term rubbing salt in the 

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,000
wound somewhat corresponds with 
kicking someone when they are 

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,480
down, now both causing extra 
pain, discomfort and suffering. 

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,200
The sting caused by rubbing salt
in a particular wound is 

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,320
extremely painful and at times 
agonizing. 

20
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,040
Same with alcohol on wounds. 
However, the hurt and the 

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,600
discomfort is for a reason and 
the outcome is healing and at 

22
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,680
times rapid healing. 
Let me give you an experience 

23
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,120
and encounter with salt in 
wounds. 

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,400
I often contract or get mouth 
ulcers and many people out there

25
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440
may may experience this 
discomfort. 

26
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:04,360
My remedy is to put some salt on
the finger and rub it into the 

27
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,880
actual ulcer. 
Here you're probably going 

28
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,600
that's exactly the pain that is 
experienced. 

29
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,160
However as I said, there is a 
rapid healing. 

30
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,760
It does away with the ulcer on 
the other hand. 

31
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:33,600
On the other hand, when pouring 
freezing water on skin burn is 

32
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,360
so soothing and the outcome 
again is healing and again, 

33
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,200
instantaneous healing. 
Let me give you another 

34
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,520
experience I've had. 
I recall one of my sisters 

35
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:56,120
accidentally poured Chai hot tea
on my hand and it was very 

36
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,560
discomforting and it began to 
throb. 

37
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040
A brother of mine said go and 
grab some water with ice in it, 

38
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,000
make sure there's a lot of ice 
in it and just stick your hand 

39
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,920
in the ice. 
Now when I put my hand in the 

40
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,720
ice water, it was soothing, it 
was relaxing, comforting, but it

41
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,560
started to burn. 
And each time I took my hand out

42
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,960
and if it was still throbbing, 
my friend, my brother advised to

43
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,080
keep it in there. 
Now I left my hand in that ice 

44
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,080
water for about a good 30 to 40 
minutes. 

45
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720
And believe me, when I took it 
out after 30 to 40 minutes 

46
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,760
intervals, obviously the the 
burning sensation had gone and 

47
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,400
the and it was healed. 
In the parable of the Good 

48
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,240
Samaritan in Luke chapter 10 
verses 25 to 37, he the Good 

49
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Samaritan performs 2 remedies 
and he uses oil and wine. 

50
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Now oil for a soothing healing 
and wine for a stinging healing.

51
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,440
And obviously the oil and wine 
are poured on the wounds of the 

52
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,360
man who was beaten by the 
robbers. 

53
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,480
Now the wounds of the man that 
is Adam representing humanity, 

54
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,000
according to Maori Shuddad, are 
the suffering and corruptions 

55
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,800
caused by Satan and his demons, 
which are the robbers. 

56
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,640
And the corruption was caused 
after the man's fall from the 

57
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,880
tranquility and peace of 
paradise onto this wicked earth.

58
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Adam was expelled from Paradise,
a place of peace and tranquility

59
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,920
with the Lord, and was cast down
on this earth. 

60
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,560
Let's Fast forward to the oil 
and wine poured onto the wounds 

61
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,720
by the Good Samaritan, which is 
Christ himself. 

62
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:14,160
Praise be to His name Christ in 
his high priestly prayer in the 

63
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Gospel according to the 
preaching of John, chapter 17, 

64
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,120
verse 8, prays for the words, 
and he's praying to the Father. 

65
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,440
God the Father, for the words 
which you gave me, I gave them, 

66
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,840
and they accepted them, and have
known truly that I came forth 

67
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:40,520
from you, and they have believed
that you sent me talking about 

68
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,720
the disciples. 
And we know that the words of 

69
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,480
God the Father are the same 
words as God the Son, because 

70
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,880
they are God the Father and the 
Son and the Holy Spirit by 

71
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,240
nature being God. 
And these words require an act 

72
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:10,600
of hearing, listening and doing 
on behalf of man. 

73
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,240
In Matthew Chapter 7 verse 24, 
Jesus instructs therefore, 

74
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,720
whoever hears these words of 
mine. 

75
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,840
Now you see in John chapter 17, 
he prays to God the Father, to 

76
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,600
Jehovah that the words you gave 
me. 

77
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,840
And in Matthew Chapter 7 verse 
24, Jesus rightly claims that 

78
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,560
whoever hears these words of 
mine, because he is God 

79
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,840
Incarnate, prays me to his name 
and does them. 

80
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,760
He is like a wise man who built 
his house upon a rock. 

81
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,240
Jesus being begotten of the 
Father, God Incarnate. 

82
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,360
Now according to the parable, 
the words of teaching of our 

83
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ
have two effects. 2 impacts in 

84
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,080
our lives intended to draw us 
and to produce the one same 

85
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,560
outcome and result being virtue 
oil. 

86
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,120
According to the blessed 
theophilact is the joy is the 

87
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,280
comfort, is the gladness and 
rest received by the promises of

88
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,480
good things of the words of 
Jesus Christ, our Lord God and 

89
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,640
our King. 
For example, let's let's have a 

90
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,800
look at some examples from the 
scriptures, the words of Jesus 

91
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Christ which are soothing and 
healing and comforting. 

92
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Matthew Chapter 11, verse 28. 
Come on to me. 

93
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Jesus invites all you who are 
wearied and bearing burdens, and

94
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,560
I will give you rest. 
Wearied means tired, exhausted, 

95
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,160
exhausted by any circumstance 
and issues of life which are 

96
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,600
weighing you down. 
Christ our Almighty Lord God is 

97
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,360
promising, is inviting, 
lovingly, cordially, is 

98
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,120
offering, and is providing. 
Not forcing or pressuring you, 

99
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,360
but inviting you to draw near to
Him and receive the provisions 

100
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:34,159
of His promises. 
How comforting, soothing, and 

101
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:38,080
refreshing is it to know that 
Christ is always waiting to 

102
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,720
receive, not only to receive, 
not only to accept, but to 

103
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:50,480
embrace us in any state of life 
when we admittedly in penitence.

104
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,200
These are the keys admittedly in
penitence and by confession draw

105
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,680
Nii to Him, ultimately 
exhorting, encouraging, and 

106
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,440
guiding us to virtue, which is 
righteousness and morality. 

107
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Once again, when we read words 
such as those in Matthew Chapter

108
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,200
7, verse 24 again. 
Therefore, whoever hears these 

109
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,040
words of mine and does them, he 
is like a wise man who built his

110
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,680
house upon a rock. 
How comforting, how soothing, 

111
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:36,760
how contenting and satisfying is
it to be seen to be described as

112
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,160
a wise person in the judgment 
and eyes of Jesus Christ? 

113
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Proverbs chapter 3 verse 7 
instructs and warns us not to be

114
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:55,880
wise in our own eyes, no, and 
not to be wise in the eyes of 

115
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,400
our fellow men, brothers and 
sisters, because we are partial,

116
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:07,240
but to be wise in the awe of the
Lord God departing from evil, to

117
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,280
be wise in the judgment, in the 
according to the measures of 

118
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:20,160
God, our heavenly Father. 
Psalms chapter 65, verse four. 

119
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Blessed is he with whom you, O 
God, are pleased, and you bring 

120
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,840
him near to dwell in your 
dwellings, and he will be 

121
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,440
satisfied by the goodness of 
your house and by the holiness 

122
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,960
of your temple. 
Blessed is the man, is the 

123
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,200
person whom God is appeased 
with. 

124
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Hence, when Jesus says the 
person who listens to his words 

125
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,480
and does them is like a wise 
man, how comforting, again, how 

126
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,880
soothing, how encouraging are 
the words of Jesus Christ when 

127
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:02,280
we read in such terms. 
Now themes are soothing words. 

128
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,080
Not to be abused, not to be 
mistreated, not to be neglected 

129
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,080
and taken for granted, but 
rather to drive us to 

130
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,640
righteousness and holy healing 
from sin and corruption. 

131
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,960
Now that is the soothing oil on 
wounds effect of the word of 

132
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,120
teaching of Christ. 
On the other hand, and according

133
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,160
to the parable of the Good 
Samaritan, there is the stinging

134
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,960
and discomfort, wine on the 
wounds, effect of the teaching 

135
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:47,720
word of Christ again drawing us 
to virtues, to righteousness, 

136
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,040
but this time by fear, alarm and
punishment. 

137
00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Now when we read such warnings 
as in Matthew chapter 25, verse 

138
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,320
30, given by Christ himself, 
praise me to his name. 

139
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:10,600
And the idol servant they threw 
into the outer darkness, there 

140
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,120
will be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth referring to the servant 

141
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,040
who hid his talent. 
These are quite alarming words. 

142
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:27,320
These sting these bring 
discomfort at times and again in

143
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Matthew Chapter 7 verse 23, 
Jesus warns and then will I 

144
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,880
declare to them stop there them 
those who call Jesus Lord Lord 

145
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,160
who preached his name who even 
performed miracles. 

146
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,520
They were casting out demons in 
his name. 

147
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,520
And those who call Jesus Lord 
Lord and do not fulfill his 

148
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,160
commandments. 
Those who tattoo Jesus on their 

149
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,080
body. 
Those who hang his cross on 

150
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800
their necks outside of their 
clothes. 

151
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,680
Those who have the sticker of 
the the Yahuwah, the name of 

152
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,120
God. 
And again in some places that 

153
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,360
truly it's not appropriate. 
I will talk about that and those

154
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,440
who claim to be Christians but 
are fake and have no 

155
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,920
relationship with Jesus Christ, 
those who claim to love the Lord

156
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Jesus Christ but live totally 
and utterly opposite and 

157
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,520
contrary to these words and 
holiness, this is what Jesus 

158
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,920
will declare. 
I never knew you depart from me,

159
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,320
you doers of evil. 
Now, the previous verses were 

160
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,280
verses of grace and mercy, and 
we have this available as long 

161
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,280
as our life is on this earth. 
There is always an opportunity, 

162
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,120
a time for repentance, for 
admission, for repentance, for 

163
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,600
confession, and to receive the 
goodness of those promises, the 

164
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,480
oil on the wound. 
But after that, beloved, once 

165
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,360
we've left this life, don't let 
anyone fool you. 

166
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Those who fool you are, you 
know, we say hush, kiss me, 

167
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Priano, la kiss me, Kricano. 
Let me, let me translate. 

168
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,600
Go to the person who always 
makes you cry, who upsets you 

169
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,560
with righteous words, not to the
person who brings you joy with 

170
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:35,480
words of deception. 
And Jesus says to them, I never 

171
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,760
knew you. 
Depart from me. 

172
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Now. 
These now are the words of the 

173
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,000
righteousness of Jesus Christ. 
This is the wine on the wound, 

174
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,640
the sting of the wine on the 
wound. 

175
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Again, in Luke chapter 13 verse 
three, I say to you that all of 

176
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:58,440
you also, unless you repent, 
will likewise perish. 

177
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,600
When his disciples asked him 
about those whom the tower of 

178
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,720
Salem had come down and was 
destructed on them, and they 

179
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,680
were killed, and Pilot mingled 
their blood with their offering 

180
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,840
in the temple. 
And Jesus doesn't give me a a 

181
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320
direct reply. 
His reply was, yeah, OK, let me 

182
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,640
tell you something. 
Unless you repent, you likewise 

183
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,760
shall perish or will perish. 
Again in chapter John chapter 6 

184
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,280
verse 53, yes, Jesus says, yes, 
I say to you that unless you eat

185
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,960
the body of the Son of man and 
drink His blood, which is the 

186
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,840
Holy Eucharist, the Qurbana, 
Khadisha, you have no life 

187
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,320
within you. 
And again in Isaiah chapter 5 

188
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,480
verse 20, the word of God, woe, 
that means cursed woe. 

189
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Cursed are those who call evil 
good and good evil, and put 

190
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,520
light for darkness and darkness 
for light, and put bitter for 

191
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,800
sweet and sweet for bitter. 
Now themes are stinging, 

192
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,640
discomforting, fearful and 
punishing words. 

193
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Also not to be abused, neglected
and taken for granted, but 

194
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:26,800
rather to drive you and I to 
righteousness and the sanctified

195
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:33,640
healing from our spiritual wound
of sin and corruption. 

196
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:41,720
So when reading, studying, 
meditating on the Word of God, 

197
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,960
be prepared to both be soothed 
and comforted, yet at the same 

198
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:55,160
time stung and alarmed in order 
to be drawn to virtue, that is, 

199
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,760
the righteousness and holiness 
which we have been called to, 

200
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,480
according to the First Epistle 
of Saint Peter, chapter one, 

201
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,280
verses 15 to 16. 
And called by whom, Beloved? 

202
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:16,000
Called by God the Holy Father of
truth, from whom all fatherhood 

203
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,480
in heaven and earth is named God
the Holy Son, by whose hand 

204
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:29,760
everything was created and 
called by God the Holy Spirit 

205
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,840
being, through whom all is 
hallowed and consecrated. 

206
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,400
And to the Holy Trinity be 
praised. 

207
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Glory, honor and confession, now
and at all times and forever. 

208
00:17:46,840 --> 00:18:15,720
Amen.
