Holy Pentecost
We have all been gifted by the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and Holy Mooron (Chrismation).
Lord Jesus Christ - God Incarnate Came from heaven into this world establishing the Kingdom of Heaven - granting Healing - regeneration - forgiveness , acceptance and the Grace to be the children of God by adoption; when you accept Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah and the Redeemer.
1. Kingdom of the Heaven and Kingdom of God
All who accept Christ and are Baptised and Chrismated and receive the Holy Sacraments are the Citizens of Heaven given equal privilege
But we are told to be wakeful and alert in our Spiritual life. So as to enter the Kingdom of God with the Bridegroom when He Comes -example- of the Ten Virgins with the oil lamps (st Mtt. 25; 1-13) five were lazy and lethargic their oil ran out, Five were wise and kept their Iamp burning with oil (Faith and good deeds) and they entered along with Groom into the kingdom of God. So all are called into the Kingdom of Heaven but few are chosen into the Kingdom of God (St. Matt 22:14 )
How to live in this world? - Jesus Christ is the only role model; if you look at any one else you will definitely fail.
1) Faithfulness (Viswasthatha) - means (Visudhi) Holiness - God is Holy and He has called us to lead a Holy life- faithfulness - is holiness in the eyes of God.
2) Humility - The Almighty when incarnated didn't use His Authority and Power - but was meek , in obedience to the Father's will, to the point of death. Humility is obedience to the will of the Father - Accepting failure where you can easily win, for the ultimate good of mankind. - when you do that you have the Face of Christ.
3) Church is the extended Womb - The Son of God took flesh from the Womb of the Virgin Mary - The Church is the extended form of that Womb, from which every believer in Lord Jesus Christ grow up, nourished by the Sacraments and the Holy Spirit; becoming like Christ our Redeemer - yes a christ through which Christ can function in this world.
God Bless.
