Welcome to the Word of God podcast, a podcast that talks about Jesus Christ through the Holy Scripture, through personal experiences, but also through our hearts. Our goal the preaching of the Gospel through the ability that technology gives us in our days. Thank you, welcome, friends of Croats, welcome to another episode of the World of Goat Podcast. Today's topic the continuation of the previous one, as far as we can connect it, since we had talked about the Judean. These episodes are essential. The passions, the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord are various events that were dramatized during the Passover of the Jews and by the opportunity to take and to unravel what we can through the Word of God. And here we want to stand, and every time, as many times as we can repeat it, and even if we become tired sometimes is that we do not want to stay only in the historical description of events, nor in the superficial and cognitive state of things. We want to take the deeper meaning, to understand for what reason all this happened, to say, in other words, the essence of things. Tonight with us will be Konstantinos and Spiros and, with the grace of God, we will try to address all these issues. Konstantinos, if you allow me to make a short summary, so chronological, of things and and events from the Great Fifth to the Sunday of the Resurrection of our Lord, and from there on. We will analyze the events in order as God has commanded us.
Σπύρος:We see mainly in the Great Fifth, where the well-known so-called Mystical Temple is built correct me if I am wrong Konstantinos, where our Lord is eating the Last Temple with Mystical Temple, where our Lord eats the last temple with the 12 students and there he is also the way to become the Holy Gratitude. It continues straight away on the same night that the prayer is made in the garden of the Geste Manis, where our Lord begins to pray and pray and begs the Father, god, that if it is possible to leave this glass on top of him, he begins to pray and begs and begs God, father, god, that if possible, this glass should be removed from him, but despite this being his will. We see the human nature of our Lord at that moment but at the same time also the teaching on how we should pray and the students to sleep on this struggle of our Lord. We see automatically. The next is the arrest.
Σπύρος:After the tomb of the Virgin Mary, after the disciples come down with the Lord. The trials are held by the court of the court, the religious one, which was the Pharisees, who sentenced him, and then they put him in the Roman court, where he was the court's judge. We then go to the death of the Lord the Cross, who died on the Cross and the resurrection and resurrection of Christ the Lord.
Κωνσταντίνος:Exactly, spiros, as you said. Very nice. And I would like to emphasize, before we start to see the events, that the essence are the messages of these events. What do these events mean for our life? For us, because many accept them as historical events, but they don't believe in Jesus Christ. So the essence is really to believe, as the Word of God says.
Κωνσταντίνος:These are what the apostles told us and these are what we say today, so that we can believe in Jesus Christ and believe that we will have life forever and, as you said, Spiros, starting from the mystical temple, the Lord, with the 11 students, because Judas had left to go and bring the to betray Christ, they go to the garden of Gethsemane.
Κωνσταντίνος:There they pray Christ with the three students, Peter, James and John, who sleep during the prayer. After three times that Christ prayed, Judas comes with the ark, Christ with the disciples. He gives Christ with the seal which we know, which we mentioned in the previous episode. With the grace of Christ, the disciples leave and Christ is now in the hands of the Orgelos, the archpriests and the Pharisees and now begins, from the fifth of the night, all this process of blasphemy, of justice and finally, of the cross. And after two days, three days of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and we see, the trials, as you mentioned, took place in various places the archers and the Pharisees began to arrest Jesus Christ and began to accuse him of false witnesses. They accused him of many things. They could not find an accusation against him and something to hold on to.
Σπύρος:So I came to the accusation. Sorry for the interruption. I will make a parenthesis, mainly because of the blasphemy there, because he chose himself equal to God, exactly exactly.
Κωνσταντίνος:And they started to blaspheme him, to hit him and to tell him prophet who hit you To close his eyes, to hit him. And tell him, prophet who hit you To hit him, to close his eyes, to hit him, and say, prophet who hit you to hit him, slaves. Now, the Lord, the Word of God, who made everything, whose breath depends on those who have in front of them their lives, they hit him, slaves, that is even among people. They had no power. These people, and they were calling him and they were saying Since you are the son of God, since you are a prophet, since you are from God, prophesy to us who was the one who struck you.
Κωνσταντίνος:We are talking about such situations, we are talking about the complete cruelty Of the human nature. And because they didn't have power To sentence him to death, they send him to Pontius Pilate. Pontius Pilate, if I'm not mistaken, pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of the area, who also made the decisions about what would happen and made the trials according to the Roman law. The amazing thing and we will also stand a little bit in the behavior of Jesus Christ in front of Pilate, the wonderful thing is that Christ, as long as they accused him of being unjust, he did not answer anything, he remained silent. And when they went in front of Pilate, when the writers and the Pharisees went to him and started accusing him in front of Pilate to condemn him, when Pilate Christ did not answer the accusations of the Pharisees. But at some point Pilate asked him because he heard that the archers and Pharisees were saying that it was a death penalty, because he said that he would be him not the fate, but the various categories of all the Jesus Christ is equal to God.
Κωνσταντίνος:Pilate was afraid. And Pilate goes to Jesus Christ and he sees a poem and he asks him who are you? Where did you come from? And at some point he asks a terrible question and he tells him what is the truth? And unfortunately and I always read it it makes me a terrible impression. Instead of sitting and listening to the answer, he gets up, as Spiros said, he leaves, goes out and says again I don't find any crime in him. Instead of sitting and listening to the answer, what is the truth? And as Christ said to the disciples, I am the truth, the way and the life. Clear things.
Σπύρος:Amen to my opinion, and since we are at the point, essentially, of the two courts that were, the first were from the religious state, from the religious authority, that was the two justices. The first was from the religious state, from the religious authority, that were the Pharisees of that time. I want to focus on two points that have caused me a little interest. We see the Pharisees to ask him you are Christ, the Son of God? His question to the category when the Lord answers and says Accept, exactly as you said before. I tell you, for you see the Son of man sitting on the right of the forces coming from the Lord, and there the Pharisees, who close their eyes, say what else do we want? He confessed it.
Σπύρος:Immediately after the accusation and the question of Pilate, does not ask him you are the Son of God, christ, but he asks him you are the King of the Jews. And we see the Lord not responding and says you say A great, we would say, difference of spirituality. And what I want to emphasize is that the Lord is the king of all the world, he is the king of kings, he is the Lord of lords, his greatness reaches all the planet and that is why our approach must be opposite to him, like the Son of God of the planet, and that's why our approach must be against him, like the Son of God, the Living, who was given to him by this authority. Also, since you mentioned Konstantinos, the part of the truth that he made in the question of Pilate, will you allow me here to read the excerpt, because it is beautiful, it is nice, this excerpt, to see a little how exactly and to stand a little on this, how nice this poem is between the Lord and Pilate and how we feel about this question, and to find out what we can do about it. He says so.
Σπύρος:He went out to them, pilate, to the Pharisees, and said what category does one person have against another. I will open a parenthesis John 18, chapter 29, verse, and I continue. The Pharisees answered him and said to him If he was not a sinner, I will not give him to you. So Pilate said to them. Pilate, take him and, according to your law, judge him. But the Jews said to him we have no right to kill anyone in order to fulfill the word of Jesus, who said Showing with whom he died, he is to die. Pilate then entered the praetorium and called out to Jesus and said to him you are the king of the Jews, as we said before Constantine.
Σπύρος:Donatani is the king of the Jews. As we said before, constantine, the Notan is the king of the Jews. And it continues. Jesus responded to him you say it. Only you say it, or did others say it to you? Pilate responded Maybe I am a Jew. Your nation and the archpriests abandoned you to me. What?
Κωνσταντίνος:did you do?
Σπύρος:Jesus responded my kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom was from this world, my servants would fight not to be given to the Jews. We see here that he distinguishes himself, even though he was a Jewish man. Now, however, my kingdom is not from here. And Pilate said to him so you are the king?
Σπύρος:Jesus replied you say that I am the king. I was born for this and that is why I came into the world in order to give testimony for the truth. Anyone who is from the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to him what is the truth? And as soon as he said this, he came out to the Jews and said to them I do not believe in any crime. One or two words, if you allow me to say all this, and what comes to my heart the king of truth. Maybe in these two words we see the absolute meaning of the king's kingdom. The word of God is the absolute truth and this, unfortunately, pilate does not understand, even though the Lord says so, and closes his eyes, his ears and gives the Lord to the Pharisees.
Κωνσταντίνος:Amen. And it seems, as you said, that other questions are asked by the archpriests and the Pharisees, other questions are asked by Pilate. It seems that the difference is in how much they understand the things of God. Because the Judeans, the Pharisees, had been deceived. They didn't accept Christ yes, all of that, but they knew and waited for Christ, the King of the Jews. That's why they said are you Christ?
Σπύρος:The Son of.
Κωνσταντίνος:God Because he would be the King. And we see from various descriptions in the Gospel, and from the students as well, that they waited for Christ to come and that Israel would conquer again here in the world, because they couldn't understand the spiritual, the kingdom of God with the spiritual meaning and how Christ came to really establish it to save people. And we see, on the other hand, pilate wondering are you a king? Why? I say my own thought is this that he was a Roman. The Romans had conquered the whole world. A king of one of the nations they had conquered from the beginning it would mean a problem for them. So we see the various reactions, depending on the position of each one and the people of each one and the social level how he reacts to this accusation and to this person who is in front of him.
Κωνσταντίνος:But both of them really lost their essence. And the essence, as you said very nicely, spiros, is really that Jesus Christ is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, is the Word of God, is the Son of the living God, amen. The Lord tried many times to convince them to believe them and they did not accept it. And Pilate did not want to hear it. And why did he not want to hear it? We see, in this case he went out. He did not expect to hear it. But the Word of God shows us other events that Pilate did, γεγονότα που έκανε ο πιλάτος. Και στην ουσία, βλέπουμε να μην ακούει τις προειδοποίησεις του Θεού για τον Ιησού Χριστό. Βλέπουμε να έρχεται η γυναίκα του και να του λέει εγώ, για αυτόν τον δίκαιο που δικάζεις τώρα είναι δίκαιος αυτός που δικάζ. He saw a dream for Jesus Christ. We don't know what he saw, but he goes and warns him.
Κωνσταντίνος:Pilate doesn't listen. We see Pilate saying I don't find any crime, so I knew that I would be convicted. Pilate doesn't listen. We see Christ explaining to him that I am not the king of the Jews. If he were, he would want to free me If what the king says, pilate doesn't listen. We see, the Jews says Pilate does not listen. We see the Jews saying to Pilate he made the son of God to be afraid, but despite that, he does not change the act of Pilate. Pilate does not listen. We see, in the end he tries. When the incident happened, the very famous one where Pilate said who should I free? The island or Varava, who was a thief, a thief? And everyone shouted the island. He asked again I think, if I'm not mistaken, three times the pilot. Who should I release? Why? He said because he knew that they had betrayed him with a curse. Despite all that, theate's decision does not change. So we see that the men did not believe.
Σπύρος:The other did not want to believe, he did not want to hear we see the blinding of man for another time, how man can close his eyes and in our days we believe this very strongly when we have a person next to us, to talk to him about Christ, to talk to him about the Gospel and that's how we were blind and to describe to him the Word of God, to tell him that Jesus Christ is the Son of God that came into our lives, changed us, and the world should not hear and should not want to see, to face the situation in exactly the same way, and this is due to the burden and the hardness of the heart of man.
Κωνσταντίνος:And unfortunately, as the Word of God says, the archon of this world, the devil, blinds the hearts so that the light of the Gospel does not shine and man believes and is saved.
Σπύρος:It is also graphic. Exactly, and before we go any further, I would like to say something more essential. Beyond the unjust trial of our Lord, we see how all the evil acts against the Lord. Even the trial and the process of the trial does not have the full and basic elements that it should be done. It takes time, it takes night, the decision is made through the torment so that there is no trouble. That is the whole process is based. And why? Because the devil thinks that he will defeat the Lord in this way. He thinks that by killing him on the cross, christ will be defeated. And it is there that the devil hits him, because then our Lord is resurrected and defeats the devil. After the judgment of our Lord, we see the Lord now going, if I am not mistaken, and to be where the driver is sending, if you allow me, very important. And we move on a little further.
Σπύρος:I like one point in Thou's speech because as long as we do it for the driver, since we caught him, I think his figure is a little sympathetic. And what do I want to say? I see a person who does not want to judge unjustly, nor with ease in his heart. He enters into a process, perhaps to punish, even in his own way, the Jews who are below and annoy him. And in the end he says this profane, who is the son of Tashira, who essentially says leave me alone, you judge him. And I say this because this is not enough for a person. Many times there are people who agree with the Word of God, agree with the Gospel, but they don't take the step of repentance and of further movement to approach Christ and to believe and to follow Him. And this we can describe in the face of Pilate. Repentance is the natural death. If I'm not mistaken, konstantinos right.
Κωνσταντίνος:Yes, just a comment on this and some details to see. First of all, all this process we were talking about it very quickly.
Σπύρος:Not even in an episode does all this come out.
Κωνσταντίνος:We try to collect it. There are too many details. When Christ was still betrayed by Judas, he said something terrible. I read it from the inside. Christ says to them why did you come? Every day I was with you in the temple and you didn't catch me. Because every day he went to the temple and taught them and he says you didn't catch me, but this is your time and the power of the dead.
Κωνσταντίνος:What you said before yes, Exactly your time and the power of the dead. And he describes exactly all of this where Jesus will pass in their hands. And because we didn't refer much to this, we referred to the justice, to the discussion and all of this. Christ, as we said earlier, was insulted by servants. Then we see Pilate giving him to the bastion. We see him being dressed in bright clothes to be adorned as a king. We see the soldiers beating him.
Σπύρος:They send him to Herod.
Κωνσταντίνος:They send him to Herod to adorn him. Battle of Herod.
Σπύρος:Herod is courting him.
Κωνσταντίνος:He wanted to see a miracle. Herod and his soldiers are courting him. We see Agathinos and Stephani. He carries the cross.
Κωνσταντίνος:Simon, the Lord, carried the cross, but even that was carried by Christ. What is the meaning of all this? That Christ passed all this for you, for me, because he had to ascend to the cross of Golgotha for your sins and for my sins. We had to go through all this Because Christ had no sin. He had no reason to ascend to the cross. We had to ascend to the cross, exactly, and one or two other things that come to mind. Christ had no sin. He had no reason to ascend the cross. We should have ascended the cross, exactly, and one or two more things that come to mind.
Κωνσταντίνος:I read a verse From the part you read before that it was given From the Jews to Pilate Christ, and it was confirmed by the prophecy With which death he would die. And what prophecy was that? The one who is hanged on the tree, it was the crucifixion, because the Jews were killed by the Lithuanian army in one way. I don't remember if there is another, but the Romans were crucified. So in order for Christ to be crucified, he had to die in the hands of the Romans and not the Jews, which is the detail, but in the hands of the Romans and not of the Jews, which is the detail, but in the end, this detail in the word of God is evident we see the accuracy of the word of God, the accuracy of the prophetic word that, at every point, does not fall out, the seriousness of the situation and the confrontation of the writing.
Σπύρος:We cannot take it by force and we have to look at every source and take it seriously. Even this detail is rooted in that.
Κωνσταντίνος:And one last thing as you said about Pilatos, he seems like a sympathetic figure. Unfortunately, there are many good people on Earth. They are not saved. Another example is to be a good person or to try to do the good in a difficult situation, and the driver here, after a moment of trying to push the responsibility over his hands, he washed his hands. Another example is to be faithful and saved and to follow Christ. Another example from the Holy Scripture, not relevant, but again an example Cornelius the first, the centurion I think he was the centurion Cornelius in the Acts of the Apostles who was a Faithful man, afraid of God.
Κωνσταντίνος:He did many leitmotions but he had no salvation yet Because Peter goes and speaks to him and then he is saved and all who heard him say the Holy Spirit and were baptized. A very good man, very good in his actions, everything very well. But salvation comes to man only when he believes in Jesus Christ.
Σπύρος:Exactly that is, man is saved for faith and not for works. And be careful, because there is a misunderstanding that many people, many times when I am in a personal conversation, tell me. But you will not do well, because they have in their minds, when we say that faith saves man, that the pilgrim who goes to the church, who does what he thinks he does, but his behavior is not according to his faith, that he will be saved. We do not mean that. Let us not forget that the works are a consequence of our faith that he will be saved. We do not mean that. Let us not forget that works are a consequence of our faith. I believe, but I believe in works. Without works, faith is dead, and I say this clearly. So we are talking about a faith in Christ that is active, alive, and alive both in the heart and in the soul, but also in our actions. And I think it is time to move on to the next part, constantine, which is the crucifixion.
Σπύρος:After the blasphemy, as you said very nicely, our Lord is crucified. We all have this image in our minds Jesus Christ on the cross. There is no man, I think, on the planet who cannot shape this image in his mind and mainly due to the religious conditions of all that we see knowledge in the minds of people and in the consciousness of people for a crucified Jesus Christ. Of course, everyone has this image, but how many people know the meaning of this sacrifice? Many see a Christ being crucified on a wood, on a wooden cross being hung, but they don't know why. And the most serious thing, konstantinos, is that they don't seek't know why. And the most serious thing, konstantinos, is that they don't seek to learn why some people believe in another person who is on a dead cross, that is. This is really worth questioning and be careful a little. We see that people can be 30 people and they want to agree on one issue, but they never manage to agree how humanity agreed to start.
Σπύρος:Now you will tell me why you say that. I will explain why I say that. To measure the timeline from the person of Jesus Christ is also a question of action, and for us it is not because we know that it is the Word of God, it is the power of God that causes it. But I want to show and emphasize how man can distinguish the greatness of God, which has shared the history of humanity, and at the same time, the contrast that this man who changed this history is on a dead tree and some people worship him. How do we not get into the process? We do not get into it to investigate what is this thing that has made people to say that they are Christians and to believe in this thing? We see the defilement of the pores of the heart, that the person is not interested in learning the truth. That's where I want to end, konstantinos, and that's why I make this reference to this situation.
Κωνσταντίνος:We just have to remain and remain in the matter of the Cross, because it is not something simple. First of all, through the Word of God, we will see that the whole period of the vassalage, the trials and all that lasted from Friday night, friday morning, until 9 am on Friday, the Cross was done. We are talking about all night and until 9 am on Friday the crucifixion took place. We are talking about all night long and until 9 am this was happening, apart from giving conferences and trials and such, and also torture. And the shocking thing is that when Christ was taken, they had climbed Golgotha, a hill outside Jerusalem, and they were cursing him, praying and saying Father, forgive them. They don't know what they are doing. And this is now the example of what a person will find. That is what will be the reaction of Christ when a sinful person goes in front of him. It is forgiveness. That's what he will find. That's what he will find. That's what he will find Very characteristic.
Κωνσταντίνος:John begins his Gospel and says that the Word of God came. He took flesh, he became a man, jesus Christ, and he was full of grace and truth. Grace and truth. That is, the person in front of Christ will find truth. Christ will not tell him lies. He will find truth. If he is a sinner, he will tell him that he is a sinner and we were all sinners and we all fall again and Christ cleanses us with his blood. He will tell him truth and if he repents, he will find grace. He will find forgiveness From Christ. Amen. So you will find forgiveness from Christ, amen. So this is the message of the Cross, this is the essence, because, as we said, many accept that, yes, there may have been a man, christ, a man, jesus from Nazareth, who was crucified 2000 years ago. But if a person does not truly believe in him, him that he is the Son of God, the Word of God, the Son of God, the one who sent God Christ and died for my sins and was resurrected for my right, for my right for each person.
Κωνσταντίνος:That's why I say me, don't take it personally, only for me. It's not possible For me personally, for each one personally, for him to accept it. If he doesn't believe it, it has no meaning for him. The Cross and the Resurrection, it's just a historical event that can be accepted. It can be not, but it doesn't win and it doesn't lose anything from it. It loses a lot, of course, because Jesus is really Christ. He is a lot of loss, of course, because Jesus is Christ, he is the Son of God. He died for the sins of men and he was resurrected for the sake of those who accept Him, those who do not accept Him they will come to meet Him as a creed, because we have remained in the Cross.
Σπύρος:And maybe it is the most important event, along with the Resurrection, to say the following, because this is what we want to do now to pass the importance, the essence, what we have seen and we have understood in our hearts to everyone who listens to us and many may have lived it, of course, but this is our purpose, as we said from the beginning not to distort the events and to remember, but to understand. To understand, to realize that in this cross should be each one of us. It should not be Jesus Christ. He died for our sins. He died for my sins, for your sins.
Σπύρος:I had to be in this position on the cross and condemn myself, god himself to condemn me and, to say it a little differently, this would have been the right. This would have been the right For what I have done. In summary, if I may say so, you will understand what I mean. It is unjust what God does, unjust towards himself, because what exactly does he do? He should have condemned me. Could God have appeared to the world with so much sin? This is the easiest thing, and yet he doesn't do it. He could very easily make a decision and say the man has sinned, he has reached the point of his sin, I will destroy him. And yet long-term memory, and not only long-term memory, he also does grace. He does grace and look, the man has arrived.
Σπύρος:Konstantinos, it is terrifying. Instead of God punishing and killing the man, essentially sending him to death, man takes this position now and what does he do? He condemns God on the cross. That is, he takes the position of the sinner and has judged that man. The saviour of the world, god himself, must die. What sin, what greater sin could a person do? To kill? This is the ultimate crime, to kill his Creator. That's what he does with the Cross of Christ. And God, instead of getting angry and saying, look what you did to a person, you made the greatest mistake in your life makes even greater grace and forgives the person and gives eternal life through the subsequent resurrection. Isn't that right, konstantinos?
Κωνσταντίνος:Exactly and as the Word of God says. Christ came, the Word of God came. The rich man from the elephant palace, as the Word of God explains, became poor on earth so that we can be rich through his own poverty. He paid on the cross. He lost, he left everything, his glory, so that he could reach the cross to pay our own sins. Because the Word of God says the right result of sins is death, but God gives, through Jesus Christ, eternal life.
Κωνσταντίνος:Amen, when really a person is free from sins, when they are paid, and they are paid only with death. And what did Christ do? He says because if you die, you will perish. The sinner came, he died for our sins. God raised him up Because he could not be a sinner, he did not have his own sin, he could not remain in the corruption. A sinner, it was not right to be raised up changes him, takes his sins, washes them with his blood, and now there is no sin on him. And if someone, if the devil, comes to accuse this person in front of God that he is a sinner, christ says I died for him, so there is no more accusation.
Σπύρος:Amen, konstantinos, very beautiful. This is what we want to understand. So there is no accusation anymore. Amen, konstantinos, very beautiful. This is what we want to go through as a meaning to understand all this essence of the crucifixion of our Lord upon the cross. This is the important thing. Now, after this, the crucifixion takes place, let's make a small analysis of the events.
Σπύρος:The crucifixion takes place, to make a small analysis of the events the cross is made, the disciples take the body of our Lord and specifically Joseph from Arimathea takes the body. According to tradition, they put the myrrh and they surround the body with the savannah, as we know a little bit. We make a quick reference because we do not have much time. We said it from the beginning that it takes a lot of episodes maybe three or four episodes to get into details For this. We will focus on the most important points. And they bury our Lord. They bury Him on Friday afternoon At 6 o'clock, exactly At 6 o'clock. There they put a big cross.
Σπύρος:And now the next day is Saturday where, according to the Jewish religion, on Saturday no one does anything. It is the day dedicated to God, and a very beautiful word that describes us. And now on Saturday, and now, on Sunday morning, we have this amazing event, this amazing event of the Resurrection. And here you will allow me, konstantinos, to make a small observation that if there was not this event of the resurrection in the Bible, I would have closed it, I would have left it aside. Maybe it is and not, maybe it is together with the crucifixion, but what gives life is the resurrection. And pay attention. The Lord Jesus Christ came to earth is the resurrection, and pay attention. The Lord Jesus Christ came to earth for the sinners. If a person was a sinner on this earth, the Lord would not be crucified and would not come to earth. What do I mean? He would say do what he did and you will succeed. But because all people are sinners, the Lord came to become the only sinner and because, as the only sinner on earth died unjustly, the Father God resurrected him.
Σπύρος:And what does this resurrection mean now, this important message that we say on the day in the church, christ resurrected, the next day, and we emphasize it, christ resurrected the Lord is true, very well known expressions in our everyday life. Do we say it, do we believe it? And this is the most important point, to believe that Jesus Christ resurrected. And what does it mean to be resurrected? It means that he is the most important point To believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected. And what does it mean to be resurrected? It means that he is the Son of God of life. In this great, in this miracle of the resurrection. And pay attention this resurrection is what gives man this body, the resurrected one that Christ has. This is the commandment that those who believe will acquire the body of Christ and the kingdom of the Lord together with Him. They will inherit whatever Christ has inherited.
Κωνσταντίνος:Exactly Spiros, and as the Word of God says in Romans 4 and is also described in verses 18-25,. I will say it briefly for a short period time more that as Abraham believed in the unbelievable revelation of God that he would have a child in 100 years and his wife Stira would stay pregnant for 90 years and have a child, and God considered it a right, so whoever believes in the God who resurrected Jesus Christ considers it a right to him repent for their sins. While they are with God, they go to Christ and say their sins, they repent. God gives them life Because they are called by the name of Jesus Christ and Christ saves them and they make the decision to do the will of God, which is to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That is to be buried, as the Word of God describes us. The baptism is to bury, to enter the grave together with Christ and coming out of the water, because they believe that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. So God gives them Christ, they are saved, they are resurrected. For them now to walk a new life, a resurrected life, a life with Christ, whose end is the eternal life in the kingdom of the heavens, in the kingdom of God, in the kingdom of heaven and, as you said, all this work is completed with the resurrection.
Κωνσταντίνος:Now man can. There is a way of salvation for man, because God came to the people of Israel to give them the law. Why? To prepare them for salvation. No one can be saved through the law. No one can be saved through the law. No one can be saved through the law. No one can be saved through the law. Because God foresaw and prepared from the beginning this perfect work of salvation so that all people can be saved. How Believing, as we said, in Jesus Christ and how the Word of God says, whoever believes in Christ has eternal life. Whoever doesn't believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, has already been destroyed, has already been destroyed. There is no need for anything else. God made the greatest sacrifice. The Word of God came and died For my own sins. Whoever doesn not believe this? There is nothing worse to do.
Σπύρος:It is the greatest sin to not believe in Christ. It is the first and greatest sin. All the others are consistent.
Κωνσταντίνος:It is such a great size of sacrifice, of love, of the gift that God has done.
Σπύρος:It is unbelievable. Through this miracle of the resurrection, which is essentially what is it? Christ was resurrected again as he came. No, with a new body, a spiritual body, exactly the spiritual body. It is the body that everyone will inherit in the first resurrection. And where does the first resurrection start? From our Lord. And in order not to expand now more on what ends with the capture of the Church and the resurrection of the dead at the same time, those who take part in the first resurrection are blessed. And why are they blessed? Because they inherit. They inherit what Jesus Christ inherited defeating death and evil. Whatever Jesus Christ inherited, defeating death and the evil, as Christ, the Risen Christ, says death of death. He stepped on it. He stepped on death, he won it, he disheartened it and he gave it to victory. And as Christ is a winner, and he won death and he was resurrected, the Father was resurrected from the dead. In this way, he wants us to win with the power that the Father God gives to Jesus Christ, to the Holy Spirit.
Κωνσταντίνος:And these days now, because it is a special episode, the days of Easter, many will say Christ is resurrected. Many will say he is truly resurrected, will say Christ is risen, many will say he is truly risen. And the question for me, in one sentence, for each personally, is the essence. As we said, the theme has essence. I believe that Christ was risen. I say it and I rejoice, and I believe it for those who believe it, with the grace of God, for, and I believe it For those of us who believe it, with the grace of God, for those of us who believe it, we say it and we are happy and we know that because Christ is risen, we have eternal life. But today, if I say it, if you say it typically, you should know that you haven't understood much yet. You haven't understood anything.
Κωνσταντίνος:Exactly. You haven't understood anything. I wanted it to be more clear. You haven't understood anything yet. Christ was raised and we say it every day in our lives, and we live our lives with this knowledge and with this foundation and with this base that Christ was resurrected. This is our life, this is the message of the Gospel that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected for our rights. And this is our life from now on. This is how we live, with this knowledge, with this belief, with this hope, with this belief, with this hope, with this goal, and that's why, exactly with the grace of Christ, we speak and say that Christ was resurrected.
Σπύρος:That's right and that's why, to close the episode, konstantinos, we lived Christ, as we say every day, alive, amen. We didn't live him dead, he's not dead. That's why we Greek is alive, amen. We did not experience him dead, he is not dead. That is why we say he is alive, because there is between us, there is a present, and at the moment he is a present and alive. He gives life, and not this life, the eternal life, which is much better than any other life. Konstantinos, I will close with what we believe from the heart, christ is risen.
Κωνσταντίνος:True risen. Live the Lord.
Σπύρος:Amen, amen. Thank you for another episode. May God give you every blessing. To those who do not believe yet, we wish, through the depths of our hearts, to open your hearts and to believe in what we say, because we say it vividly, because we say them through the revelation of the Word of God and through the truth of the Gospel. Christ is risen. May God be with you. We wish you always to be well. Bye, have a good day you.
