Mar Mari Emmanuel – Why Jesus Sometimes Asks You to Let Go

0:00 God sent his only beloved son, begotten Son, to the world, not to.

0:07 Judge the world, but to save it.

0:11 The Sun did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. And the Lord continued and said, he who has the Son, or he who believes in the Sun, will not be judged. But he who does not believe in the Sun is judged long ago. And this is the judgment for the light. For the light had come into the world, but the world chose darkness over the light, for their deeds were evil, and this is the judgment. He who has the Son will not be judged, but he who does not believe in the Son is judged long ago.

1:03 And this is the judgment.

1:05 The light came into the world, but the world chose darkness over the light because their deeds were evil. They did not want to come into the light lest their evil deeds be revealed. And then the Gospel of today continues. And the Lord Jesus went into Judea and with his disciples he started baptizing people in the Jordan River, and many people came to be baptized by the Lord, even though the Lord Jesus was not the one baptizing, but rather his disciples, and this has a profound meaning. The Lord Jesus baptized no one Isiples did. And then there was an argument that took place between the disciples of John the Baptist and a Jewish man about purification. So afterwards the disciples of John the Baptist came to their master,

2:26 John the Baptist, and they said, you know the one whom you gave testimony about, Jesus of Nazareth. Did you know, John the Baptist. There are so many people going to be baptized by him, more than you, so you need to be careful. Looks like he wants to take over. He wants a throne. John the Baptist said, he who has the bride is the groom, and the friend of the groom rejoices when he hears his voice. He who is from above speaks heavenly things, and he who is from earth speaks earthly things. The one from above need to be exalted, and the one from earth need to diminish and perish from earth. Referring to himself, John the Baptist, from above, referring to Jesus Christ of Nazareth, all glory to his holy name, He said, don't ever try to

3:44 cause any friction between Jesus and I. I know exactly where this man comes from. God told me when I went to the river Jordan. He said to me, the one that is gonna come to be baptized by you, when you see heaven open and the Holy Spirit descending on him as a dove, know then and then only that this is the Messiah whom all the Old Testament prophets prophesied about his coming. This is your Messiah, John the Baptist. To his shocking surprise, the Messiah happened to be his cousin. It's amazing, John the Baptist. Mother Elizabeth happened to be the auntie of our Holy Mother Mary.

4:47 Elizabeth was her auntie, the sister of Mary's mother from the mother's side. So John de Baptist said, he needs to increase because he's from above.

5:04 I'm from the earth. I need to.

5:06 Perish, diminish. So what's your problem, guys? Definitely people need to go to him, not to me. I am just the voice crying out in the wilderness. He is the Logos, he is the Word himself. He is God revealed in the flesh, the Word incarnate. And then when the Lord Jesus realized that there was friction and quarreling and arguments between the scribes and the Pharisees and the disciples of John de Baptist about Jesus gaining more people and followers, he retreated back to Galilee. It shows you that the law Lord hates quarreling, hates arguments, hates noise pollution, hates empty, void words, meaningless words. He will never engage himself in a very ignorant kind of an argument. So the moment he realized thereabout to start a problem, he withdraws and

6:34 goes to Galilee. On the way to Galilee from Judea. Now Judea is in the south and Galilee is in the north, so he goes to the north. On the way to Galilee, the Holy Spirit directs Jesus of Nazareth to a place called Shem that's in hebrewmchem or in English they pronounced it Skim, Schrem Shakim or neabliss or the Gaza Strip where our beloved Palestinians live, surrounded by a fifteen meter concrete wall. About four million or so Palestinians live in a very small area called the Gaza Strip, where the Lord Jesus went to. In this place there was a well of our father Jacob. Another reason our church fathers added these four verses that Jesus went to Shem because in Shakim he met a Samaritan woman at

7:58 the well. But that is the continuation of the Gospel of John chapter four.

8:07 But the gospel stops that the Lord went to this city called Schem, and that's where it ends. The Gospel of today.

8:16 Now last week Nicodemus, unless one is born of water and the spirit, cannot enter the Kingdom of God. And then the Lord said, the light came to the world, and the world chose darkness over the light, for their deeds are evil. And then the Lord was baptizing through his disciples many people at the river Jordan. And the Lord said, the Sun was sent by God to save the world, not to condemn it, not to judge it.

8:57 He who believes in the Sun is not judged, and he who does not believe in the Son is judged long ago.

9:07 And this is the judgment. For the light came into the.

9:11 World, and the world chows darkness over the light because of their evil origin.

9:19 Or intention. All of this.

9:26 Going to Shem Shakim where he met the Samaritan woman at the well. All of this is the Holy Baptism, one of the seven sacraments of the True Apostolic Church of Christ, True Apostolic Church of Christ, true Church, true faith. And by the way, Catholic or Catholicism, Catholicos means the Mother that gathers all her children under her wings, universal the mother the Church, the mother that gathers all her children under her wings. Orthodoxy is a straight faith, a straight line of faith to the sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

10:37 It's a straight faith. There is no twists, there is no deception. It is an absolute, pure, straight faith to the heart of Christ. Orthodoxy it is the sacrament of the Holy Baptism.

11:04 And this is the judgment. The light came to the world. The world chows darkness of the light. For their deeds were evil, My beloved, my beloved.

11:28 The Lord Jesus came to bring us out of the darkness into the light. The Lord Jesus came to bring us out of the darkness into the light. Why Because whoever remains in darkness is under the judgment of the Almighty God. And whoever is judged by God. Their portion is held eternal death, disappearance.

12:04 Whoever remains in.

12:06 Darkness is judged, for they did not believe in the Son of God. But whoever whoever believes in the sun is not judged. Not judged is in the light. Judged is in the darkness. Jesus came to save us and take us.

12:27 Out of the darkness into the light.

12:32 The Holy baptism is the gateway, is the gateway to.

12:39 The journey with Christ in the light.

12:44 The Holy baptism is the only way to bring you out of the darkness into the light, out of the eternal condemnation and judgment, out of the internal death, into the eternal life, being freed as the son of God. The Holy baptism is the gateway out of this world.

13:13 Into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. How are we? How did the Lord Jesus bring.

13:28 Us out of the darkness death into the light life by forgiving us, by forgiving us forgiveness.

13:41 Forgiveness is the key word where the Lord was able to.

13:49 Save us and deliver us out of the darkness, eternal death, into the light, eternal life.

13:58 Forgiveness.

14:01 When we go back all the way to Genesis chapter one and on the third day Genesis Chapter one.

14:11 And on the third day, not the third day. I beg your pardon, Genesis.

14:19 One, first day, not the third the first day.

14:30 And by the way, when you read the Old Testament in Hebrew or Aramaic Syriac, you'll understand that day one is Sunday. Because day one in Hebrew or Aramaic is have Habba means one, Chabba means week. So the first day is the first day of the week. What is the first day of the week, have chabba half shab is Sunday. So the first day of the week is Sunday, and the seventh day is Saturday. Shabbath means rest, tranquility, peace, silence, Shabbad.

15:21 So the first day.

15:24 God saw it was dark, and God said, let there be light. And God when God said, let there be light, and light was and God separated the light from the darkness. And he called the light day and the darkness night, and he called it had shabba. First day Sunday. Sunday is the first day of the week. Where God created the light and separated the light from darkness, called the light day.

16:06 And the darkness night. And this is the judgment for the light came into.

16:15 The world, but the world chose darkness over the light for their deeds or evil. Who saw and who said, God, the Father soul, God the Sun said, for the sun s o n as the word the logos. And when you go to John one, one says, in the beginning was the logos word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. So how was the light created by the Word? Who is the Son of God?

17:01 Who is the logos? Who is God himself? The creator of all is the Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth, all glory.

17:11 It is only name. He is the Logos.

17:14 And with this word everything was created from nothing. And God called the light day, and he called.

17:29 The darkness night. The Lord says, I am the Light.
