مَا بَالُكُم مُضْطَرِبِين؟ وَلِمَاذَا تُخَالِجُ هذِهِ الأَفْكَارُ قُلُوبَكُم؟ أُنْظُرُوا إِلى يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا24/من36حتى48/:”فِيمَا الرُسُلُ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهذَا، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ في وَسَطِهِم، وقَالَ لَهُم: «أَلسَّلامُ لَكُم!». فٱرْتَاعُوا، وٱسْتَوْلى عَلَيْهِمِ الخَوْف، وكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم يُشَاهِدُونَ رُوحًا. فقَالَ لَهُم يَسُوع: «مَا بَالُكُم مُضْطَرِبِين؟ وَلِمَاذَا تُخَالِجُ هذِهِ الأَفْكَارُ قُلُوبَكُم؟ أُنْظُرُوا إِلى يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. جُسُّونِي، وٱنْظُرُوا، فإِنَّ الرُّوحَ لا لَحْمَ لَهُ وَلا عِظَامَ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ لِي!». قالَ هذَا وَأَرَاهُم يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْه. وَإِذْ كَانُوا بَعْدُ غَيْرَ مُصَدِّقِينَ مِنَ الفَرَح، وَمُتَعَجِّبِين، قَالَ لَهُم: «هَلْ عِنْدَكُم هُنَا طَعَام؟». فَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنْ سَمَكٍ مَشْوِيّ، وَمِنْ شَهْدِ عَسَل. فَأَخَذَهَا وَأَكَلَهَا بِمَرْأًى مِنْهُم، وقَالَ لَهُم: «هذَا هُوَ كَلامِي الَّذي كَلَّمْتُكُم بِهِ، وَأَنا بَعْدُ مَعَكُم. كانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتِمَّ كُلُّ مَا كُتِبَ عَنِّي في تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى، وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالمَزَامِير». حِينَئِذٍ فَتَحَ أَذْهَانَهُم لِيَفْهَمُوا الكُتُب. ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُم: «هكذَا مَكْتُوبٌ أَنَّ المَسِيحَ يَتَأَلَّم، وَيَقُومُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ في اليَوْمِ الثَّالِث. وبِٱسْمِهِ يُكْرَزُ بِالتَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرةِ الخَطَايَا، في جَمِيعِ الأُمَم، إِبْتِدَاءً مِنْ أُورَشَلِيم”وأَنْتُم شُهُودٌ عَلى ذلِكَ.
فَإِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الرَّبّ، وآمَنْتَ بِقَلْبِكَ أَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات، تَخْلُص
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل 10/من01حتى13/:”يا إِخوَتِي، إِنَّ بُغْيَةَ قَلْبي وتَضَرُّعِي إِلى اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَخْلُصُوا. فأَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَهُم أَنَّ فيهِم غَيْرَةً لله، وَلكِنْ بِدُونِ مَعْرِفَةٍ صَحيحَة. فقَدْ جَهِلُوا بِرَّ الله، وحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا بِرَّ أَنْفُسِهِم، فَلَمْ يَخْضَعُوا لِبِرِّ الله؛ لأَنَّ غَايَةَ الشَّرِيعَةِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ المَسِيح، لِكَي يَتَبَرَّرَ بِهِ كُلُّ مُؤْمِن. وقَدْ كَتَبَ مُوسَى عَنِ البِرِّ الَّذي هُوَ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ فَقَال: «مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِأَحْكَامِ الشَّرِيعَةِ يَحْيَا بِهَا». أَمَّا عَنِ البِرِّ الَّذي هُوَ مِنَ الإِيْمَانِ فَيَقُول: «لا تَقُلْ في قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلى السَّمَاء؟»، أَيْ لِيُنْزِلَ المَسِيحَ مِنَ السَّمَاء. ولا تَقُلْ: «مَنْ يَهْبِطُ إِلى الهَاوِيَة؟»، أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ المَسِيحَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات. بَلْ مَاذَا يَقُول؟ «الكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ، في فَمِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ»، أَيْ كَلِمَةُ الإِيْمَان، الَّتي نُنَادِي بِهَا. فَإِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الرَّبّ، وآمَنْتَ بِقَلْبِكَ أَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات، تَخْلُص. فالإِيْمَانُ بِالقَلْبِ يَقُودُ إِلى البِرّ، والٱعْتِرَافُ بِالفَمِ يَقُودُ إِلى الخَلاص؛ لأَنَّ الكِتَابَ يَقُول: «كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لا يُخْزَى». فلا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ يَهُودِيٍّ ويُونَانِيّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ لِجَميعِهِم، يُفِيضُ غِنَاهُ عَلى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَهُ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُو ٱسْمَ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُص”.
Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 24/36-48:”While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence. Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Letter to the Romans 10/1-13:”Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that ‘the person who does these things will live by them.’But the righteousness that comes from faith says, ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ down)‘or “Who will descend into the abyss?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
