There will be a SECOND COLLECTION TODAY, October 18th for World Mission. Roman8:28-39 Brothers and sisters, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Praise be to God always! )رسالة القديس بولس الئ روما )93-82/8( ون ح ن ن ع ل م أ ن هللا ي ع م ل ك ل ش يء ل خ ي ر ال ذين ي ح ب ون ه أ ولئ ك ال ذين د ع اه م ب ح س ب ق ص د ه أل ن ال ذين س ب ق ف ع ر ف ه م س ب ق أ ي ض ا فح د د ه م أ ن ي ك ون وا م ش اب هي ن ل ص ور ة اب ن ه ح ت ى ي ك ون اب ن ه ب ك ر ا إل خ و ة ك ث ير ين. وال ذ ين س ب ق فح د د ه م هؤ الء أ ي ض ا د ع اه م وال ذ ين د ع اه م هؤ الء أ ي ض ا ب ر ر ه م وال ذ ين ب ر ر هم هؤ الء أ ي ض ا م ج د ه م. إ ذ ا ف م اذ ا ن ق ول ب ع د إ ذ ا ك ان هللا م ع ن ا ف م ن ع ل ي ن ا فاهلل ال ذي ل م ي ب خ ل ب اب ن ه ب ل س ل م ه إ ل ى الم و ت م ن أ ج ل ن ا ج ميع ا ك ي ف ال ي ه ب ل ن ا م ع ه أ ي ض ا ك ل ش يء ف م ن ي ش ك و م خ ت ار ي هللا أ هلل ي ب ر ر ه م. ف م ن ال ذي ي د ين هو الم س يح ي س وع ال ذي م ات ب ل أ ق يم وهو أ ي ض ا ع ن ي مين هللا وه و أ ي ض ا ي ش ف ع ل نا! م ن ي ف ص ل ن ا ع ن م ح ب ة الم س يح أ ض يق أ م ش د ة أ م اض ط ه اد أ م ج وع أ م ع ر ي أ م خ ط ر أ م سي ف ك م ا ه و م ك ت وب: "إ ن ن ا م ن أ ج ل ك ن م ات الن ه ار ك ل ه وق د ح س ب ن ا م ث ل غ ن م ل لذ ب ح!". إ ال أ ن ن ا في ك ل ذل ك ن غ ل ب ب ال ذي أ ح ب ن ا. فإ ن ي ل و اث ق أ ن ه ال م و ت وال ح ي اة وال مالئ ك ة وال ر ئ اس ات وال ح اض ر وال م س ت ق ب ل وال ق و ات وال ع ل و وال ع م ق وال أ ي خ ل يق ة أ خ ر ى تق د ر أ ن ت ف ص ل ن ا ع ن م ح ب ة هللا ال تي في الم س ي ح ي س وع ر ب ن ا. The evangelist writes Matthew 13:36-43 Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field. He answered, The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen! This is the truth. Peace be with you. انجيل القديس متى 33-63/31 حين ئ ذ ت ر ك ي س وع الج م وع و أ ت ى إ لى الب ي ت ف د ن ا م ن ه ت الم ي ذ ه وق ال وا ل ه : "ف س ر ل ن ا م ث ل ز ؤ ان الح ق ل". ف أ ج اب وق ال: "ز ار ع الز ر ع الج ي د ه و اب ن اإل ن س ان والح ق ل ه و الع ال م والز ر ع الج ي د ه م أ ب ن اء الم ل ك وت والز ؤ ان ه م ب ن و الش ر ير والع د و ال ذي ز ر ع الز ؤ ان ه و إ ب ل يس والح ص اد ه و ن ه اي ة الع ال م والح ص اد ون ه م الم الئ ك ة. فك م ا ي ج م ع الز ؤ ان وي ح ر ق ب الن ار ك ذل ك ي ك ون في ن ه اي ة الع ال م. ي ر س ل اب ن اإل ن س ان م الئ ك ت ه ف ي ج م ع ون م ن م م ل ك ت ه ك ل الش ك وك وف اع لي اإل ث م وي لق ون ه م في أ ت ون الن ار. ه ن اك ي ك ون الب ك اء وص ر ي ف األ س ن ان. حين ئ ذ ي س ط ع األ ب ر ار كالش م س في م ل ك وت أ ب ي ه م. م ن ل ه أ ذ ن ان ف ل ي س م ع!
