Deacons Meeting @ St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church - Knoxville, TN ~ March 21, 2021

Deacons - Accountability & Responsibility

The focus on the main parables in the gospels, is not on the person who is lost, but the focus is on the Father. Christ is making it clear to us, that He does not care what state He finds us in, He only seeks to find us, and that we accept to be found.

The Lord said to Moses. In a loud voice to call him. Arise and build
an ark for Me. And overlay it with gold.
So therein may dwell My secrets. And also my covenant. From
shittim wood. And overlaid with gold.
You were likened O Mary. To the overlaid ark. And in it the
golden vessel.With the rational manna.
Your praise in my tongue. Is sweeter than honey. We offer praise to
You. O daughter of Zion.
O shining star. As a lit lamp. You held the Son of God. The Living,
Who is unseen.
He saved Adam. After the bondage. And returned him and his sons.
joyfully to Paradise.
You enlightened the world. After it was in darkness. And you carried
in your womb. The Son, the Logos (Word) of God.
You are the ark. You are the wisdom. You are our strength. And the
joy of the upright.
In due time, God desired and chose you. And sent unto you the
Logos (Word). With the Holy Spirit in you.
