اSeptember 23, 2012 13 Tut 1729 The Cross Next week we celebrate the feast of the cross and this is in rememberance of discovering Jesus Christ Cross by the queen Heelana, the blessing of this feast shall be with you all. The cross is the symbol of Christianity and in the cross there are many Contradictions, the enemy of the cross see it as a weak and disgrace cross, they see in it a cross of shame and it is for the unbeliever, our teacher St. Paul say: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, why is the preaching of the cross for the unbelievers foolishness while the believer see it as the power of God. In the mind of human it is foolishness not to defend oneself and this was what Jesus Christ did in His trial He was silent so Pilate told Him: And went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then said Pilate unto him, Speaks thou not unto me? Knows thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered; Thou could have no power at all against me, except it was given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.(John 19) Pilate wanted to free Jesus but Jesus Christ did not give him this chance, is it was wise not to defend Himself? Of course not! In the humans mind, but if Jesus Christ defended Himself He would be justified No one can argue with Him He said : Which of you convinced me of sin? And if He was judged not guilty He would not be crucified and there will be no salvation and this shall be the foolishness: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness (1cor1:18). Jesus Christ died on the cross to give us the eternal life but He asked us to hold the cross and follow Him as St Paul said in the book of Romans to if so is that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. It is true my beloved it is a very wonder cross which show the power and the wisdom of God and through it every one can be save and without the cross there is eternal death. 13 وت ت1729 23 سبتمبر٢٠١٢ صليب ال نحتفل الرب يسوعكتشاف صليبر اھو تذكاصليب وم بعيد اللقاد سبوع ا ا جميعاعكمة ھذا العيد تكون م برك نةملكة ھي بواسطة ال صليبى الر فسيحية وتظھر المعاز او شو رمصليب ھ والصليبداء الرة فاعضات كثي متناقوان،عف وھليب ضه ص يرونليب عه صرون في يولؤمن يقر المسبة لغي بالنذا ھكو فع ار وھول الرسولسا بعلمن م18 ٌ ة َ الَ ھَ جَ ينِ كِ ال َ ھْ الَ د ْ نِ عِ يبِ ل ﱠص الَ ة َ مِ لَ ك ﱠ نِ إ َ فِ ﷲُ ة ﱠ وُ قَ يِ ھَ فَ ينِ ص ﱠ لَ خُ مْ الُ نْ حَ ا نَ نَ دْ نِ ا ع ﱠ مَ أَ و ٌ ة َ الَ ھَ جَ ينِ كِ ال َ ھْ الَ د ْ نِ عِ يبِ ل ﱠص الَ ة َ مِ لَ كاذا يراھا لمىة فالكين جھال الھشرى اوم البى المفھة فلجھالن ا موة ﷲصين ق لّ المخان يراھي حلة ظلمحاكمى اسيح فسيد الم ه الا فعلذا مسه وھ نفنسان ع ن دافع ا يه لال طس قيى ان بامتا حت ص": 9 ِ ة َ يَ ِ وْ الِ ارَ ى د َ لِ إً ضا ْ يَ أَ لَ خَ د َ فَ وعُ س َ يِ لَ ال َ قَ و: » َ ت ْ نَ أَ ن ْ يَ أْ ن ِ م ؟« ً ا ابَ وَ جِ ه ِ طْ عُ يْ م َ لَ فُ وعُ س َ ا ي ﱠ مَ أَ و. 10 ُ سُ طَ ي ِ بُ ه َ لَ ال َ قَ ف: » ْ نَ أً اناَ طْ ل ُ ي س ِ ل ﱠ نَ أُ م َ لْ عَ تَ تْ س َ لَ ي؟ أ ِ نُ م ﱢ لَ كُ ا ت َ مَ أ ؟َ ك َ قِ لْ طُ أْ نَ أً اناَ طْ ل ُ سَ وَ كَ بِ ل ْ صَ أ« 11 ُ وعُ س َ يَ اب َ جَ أ: » ﱠي َ لَ عَ ك َ لْ ن ُ كَ يْ م َ ل َ لْ و َ لَ ة ﱠ تَ بْ الٌ انَ طْ ل ُ سُ قْ و َ فْ ن ِ مَ ت يِ طْ عُ أْ د َ قْ ن ُ كَ تْ م. يِ نَ مَ ل ْ سَ ي أِ ذ ﱠ الَ كِ لَ ذ ِ لُ مَ ظْ عَ أٌ ة ﱠ يِ طَ خُ هَ لَ كْ يَ لِ إ« . يو19 ذه ه ھ م يعط سيح ل سيد الم ن ال سوع لك ن ي راج ع ف د ا ان يري طس ك ي با كماسه؟ طبع نفنسان ع ندافع اة ا ين الحكمل مة ھ الفرصالمرى الع ي. سين الاو كن ل لكم فحسه نفن ععسيح داف د المل كه معاندي": ةى خطيى علنكم يبكتنن مال مذى قو ال فھم كٌ و ح ولةلجھالى اذه ھشرية وھت البصليب وھلك الله لتعطبرائت بن ولكلناس من الة ﷲ احكم جھا) 1 كو1 : 18 .( به طلة لكن بدية اا الحيايب ليعطينصلى السيح علسيد المت الاد م لق ن انا منىول ف الرسولسا بعلمنال ما قه كم نه ونتبعصليب الل حمسالة إلى روميه الر" جد معهعه فأنا نتم ما نتألم كن ان) رو8 : 17 ( هة ﷲ وبة ﷲ وحكموه قر فيب تظھليب عجيه صئى انا احباا ي حقنه موت ابديسان وبدوص كل ان يخل.
