Scripture Reading<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

JOHN 8: 21\u00a0<\/sup>Then Jesus said to them again, \u201cI am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.\u201d 22\u00a0<\/sup>So the Jews said, \u201cWill He kill Himself, because He says, \u2018Where I go you cannot come\u2019?\u201d23\u00a0<\/sup>And He said to them, \u201cYou are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He,<\/em> you will die in your sins.\u201d 25\u00a0<\/sup>Then they said to Him, \u201cWho are You?\u201dAnd Jesus said to them, \u201cJust what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26\u00a0<\/sup>I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.\u201d 27\u00a0<\/sup>They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.28\u00a0<\/sup>Then Jesus said to them, \u201cWhen you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He,<\/em> and that<\/em> I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29\u00a0<\/sup>And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.\u201d \u00a030\u00a0<\/sup>As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.<\/p>\n

Orthodox\u00a0Wisdom
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are those who bear about with us, in this living and moving image of our human nature, the likeness of God. It is a likeness that lives with us, takes counsel with us, associates with us, is a guest with us, feels with us and feels for us. We have become a consecrated offering to God for Christ\u2019s sake. We are the chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the peculiar people who once were not a people but are now the people of God. We are those who, according to John, are not of those who are beneath but have learned all from him who came from above; who have come to understand the dispensation of God; who have learned to walk in newness of life.<\/p>\n

St Clement of Alexandria<\/p>\n
