If God is for us, who is against us/إِذَا كَانَ اللهُ مَعَنَا، فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا

يسوع يفسر لتلاميذه مَثَلَ زُؤَانِ الحَقْل
إنجيل القدّيس متّى13/من36حتى43/:”تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ وَأَتَى إِلى البَيْت، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ تَلامِيْذُهُ وقَالُوا لَهُ: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا مَثَلَ زُؤَانِ الحَقْل». فَأَجَابَ وقَال: «زَارِعُ الزَّرْعِ الجَيِّدِ هُوَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان، والحَقْلُ هُوَ العَالَم، والزَّرْعُ الجَيِّدُ هُم أَبْنَاءُ المَلَكُوت، والزُّؤَانُ هُم بَنُو الشِّرِّير، والعَدُوُّ الَّذي زَرَعَ الزُّؤَانَ هُوَ إِبْلِيس، والحِصَادُ هُوَ نِهَايَةُ العَالَم، والحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ المَلائِكَة. فكَمَا يُجْمَعُ الزُّؤَانُ ويُحْرَقُ بِالنَّار، كَذلِكَ يَكُونُ في نِهَايَةِ العَالَم. يُرْسِلُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مَلائِكَتَهُ، فَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ مَمْلَكَتِهِ كُلَّ الشُّكُوكِ وفَاعِلي الإِثْم، ويُلقُونَهُم في أَتُّونِ النَّار. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ البُكَاءُ وصَرِيْفُ الأَسْنَان. حينَئِذٍ يَسْطَعُ الأَبْرَارُ كالشَّمْسِ في مَلَكُوتِ أَبِيْهِم. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَع”!

إِذَا كَانَ اللهُ مَعَنَا، فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا؟ فاللهُ الَّذي لَمْ يَبْخُلْ بِٱبْنِهِ، بَلْ سَلَّمَهُ إِلَى المَوْتِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا جَميعًا، كَيْفَ لا يَهَبُ لَنَا مَعَهُ أَيْضًا كُلَّ شَيء
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة08/من28حتى39/:”يا إِخوتي، نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ يَعْمَلُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِخَيْرِ الَّذينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ، أُولئِكَ الَّذينَ دَعَاهُم بِحَسَبِ قَصْدِهِ؛ لأَنَّ الَّذينَ سَبَقَ فَعَرَفَهُم، سَبَقَ أَيْضًا فحَدَّدَهُم أَنْ يَكُونُوا مُشَابِهينَ لِصُورَةِ ٱبْنِهِ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ ٱبْنُهُ بِكْرًا لإِخْوَةٍ كَثِيرِين. والَّذِينَ سَبَقَ فحَدَّدَهُم، هؤُلاءِ أَيْضًا دَعَاهُم، والَّذِينَ دَعَاهُم، هؤُلاءِ أَيْضًا بَرَّرَهُم، والَّذِينَ بَرَّرَهُم، هؤُلاءِ أَيْضًا مَجَّدَهُم. إِذًا فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ بَعْد؟ إِذَا كَانَ اللهُ مَعَنَا، فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا؟ فاللهُ الَّذي لَمْ يَبْخُلْ بِٱبْنِهِ، بَلْ سَلَّمَهُ إِلَى المَوْتِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا جَميعًا، كَيْفَ لا يَهَبُ لَنَا مَعَهُ أَيْضًا كُلَّ شَيء؟ فَمَنْ يَشْكُو مُخْتَارِي ٱلله؟ أَللهُ يُبَرِّرُهُم. فَمَنِ الَّذي يَدِين؟ هوَ المَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ الَّذي مَات، بَلْ أُقِيم، وهوَ أَيْضًا عَنْ يَمينِ ٱلله، وهُوَ أَيْضًا يَشْفَعُ لَنَا! مَنْ يَفْصِلُنَا عَنْ مَحَبَّةِ المَسِيح؟ أَضِيقٌ، أَمْ شِدَّةٌ، أَمِ ٱضْطِهَادٌ، أَمْ جُوعٌ، أَمْ عُرْيٌ، أَمْ خَطَرٌ، أَمْ سَيْف؟ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوب: «إِنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ النَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ، وقَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْح!». إِلاَّ أَنَّنَا في كُلِّ ذلِكَ نَغْلِبُ بِالَّذي أَحَبَّنَا. فإِنِّي لَوَاثِقٌ أَنَّهُ لا مَوْتَ ولا حَيَاة، ولا ملائِكَةَ ولا رِئَاسَات، ولا حَاضِرَ ولا مُسْتَقْبَل، ولا قُوَّات، ولا عُلْوَ ولا عُمْق، ولا أَيَّ خَلِيقَةٍ أُخْرَى تقْدِرُ أَنْ تَفْصِلَنَا عَنْ مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ الَّتي في المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا.”

Jesus Explains To His Disciples The Parable of the weeds of the field.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint 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!”

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?
Letter to the Romans 08/28-39:”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.”
