JEAN CRISOSTOMO
Unique son, before all ages, who cannot touch or perceive, who is simple, bodyless, who has now clothed my body, visible and subject to corruption. Why? For when he comes among us, he teaches us, and, teaching us, he takes us by the hand to things that men cannot see; because, because men believe that the eyes are more reliable than the ears, they doubt what they cannot see; So have you decided to show yourself in the presence of the body, to dispel all doubts?The old man then became a boy. He who sits on the sublime heavenly throne lies in a manger; the one that cannot be touched, which is simple, without complexity and intangible, is now subject to the hands of men; the one who broke the bonds of sinners is now wrapped in trousers as a child. But he decreed that ignominy be transformed into an honor; may infamy be covered with glory; and this total humiliation is the measure of your goodness.
For this he took control of my body, that I might hear his Word; taking my flesh, gives me his spirit; he grants and I receive, he prepares me the treasure of life. Take my body to sanctify myself; Give me your Spirit to save me.
MARK DUTY
The Redeemer is Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. The Eternal Son of God became man and lived a real human life like ours. For just over thirty years, in the 1st century AD, he lived like you and me; The only difference is that he has always trusted God. He trusted Dieu. Si you can think about how yesterday or the day before yesterday you should have trusted God and did not, remember that Jesus, on all occasions, obeyed God. that what God knew was the best, that he had to follow the will of his Father.
When I think of my life, I know I didn’t live like this, but the Redeemer, Jesus Christ, lived. His name is Redeemer because he bought? Your people. Restore our value.
When you change something in a store, hand it over and get money for it, when I was a child there were seals of redemption, we kept the stamps until we had enough to deliver them and receive merchandise in return. Well, it’s Jesus, who sets our worth. Restore our value. He gives his life on the cross for all those who repent of their sins and trust in Him. He is our Redeemer, He has valued us, even if we have ruined our lives by not trusting in our Heavenly Father, for not obeying. He, not afraid of him, came and gave his life for us, had a life of trust and died because he did not have to die, but he did it out of love for us, he gave himself entirely for us. , be, as the Bible says, our Redeemer, the one who saves us.
In the Old Testament, the image of redemption is that of God saving his people from Egypt, taking them out of prison, literally taking them out of slavery. In the New Testament, Jesus, the Redeemer, redeems us from our natural state of sin. slavery, to serve ourselves destructively; But God, for his great love, sent his only Son, who lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose from death, to bring us to Him, to redeem us. when we say Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
Precious Redeemer, before you began the world, you loved us; You gave up your glory to carry our shame. You glorified your Father by obeying him on the cross. You deserve our praise, our gratitude, and our worship. We have no more hope than in you. Amen.
