لا يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاء
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا03/من22حتى30/:”جَاءَ يَسُوعُ وتَلامِيذُهُ إِلى أَرْضِ اليَهُودِيَّة، وأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ مَعَهُم وكانَ يُعَمِّد. وكَانَ يُوحَنَّا أَيْضًا يُعَمِّدُ في عَيْنُون، بِٱلقُرْبِ مِنْ سَالِيم، لِغَزَارَةِ المِيَاهِ فِيهَا، والنَّاسُ يَأْتُونَ ويَعْتَمِدُون، لأَنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ قَدْ أُلْقِيَ في السِّجْن. وصَارَ جِدَالٌ بَينَ تَلامِيذِ يُوحَنَّا وأَحَدِ اليَهُودِ في شَأْنِ التَّطْهِير. فَجَاؤُوا إِلى يُوحَنَّا وقَالُوا لَهُ: «رَابِّي، إِنَّ ذَاكَ الَّذي كَانَ مَعَكَ في عِبرِ الأُرْدُنّ، وشَهِدْتَ أَنْتَ لَهُ، هَا هُوَ يُعَمِّد، والجَمِيعُ يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيه». أَجَابَ يُوحَنَّا وقَال: «لا يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاء. أَنْتُم أَنْفُسُكُم تَشْهَدُونَ لِي أَنِّي قُلْتُ: لَسْتُ أَنَا المَسِيح، بَلْ أَنَا مُرْسَلٌ أَمَامَهُ. مَنْ لَهُ العَرُوسُ هُوَ العَرِيس. أَمَّا صَدِيقُ العَرِيسِ الوَاقِفُ يُصْغِي إِلَيْهِ فَيَطْرَبُ فَرَحًا لِصَوتِهِ. هذَا الفَرَحُ هُوَ فَرَحِي، وقَدِ ٱكْتَمَل. عَلَيْهِ هُوَ أَنْ يَزيد، وعَلَيَّ أَنَا أَنْ أَنْقُص».

ولا عَجَب، فإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ نَفْسَهُ يَتَنَكَّرُ بِلِبَاسِ مَلاكِ النُّور. إِذًا فَلَيْسَ بِغَرِيبٍ أَنْ يَتَنَكَّرَ خُدَّامُهُ بِلِباسِ خُدَّامِ البِرّ: إِنَّ عَاقِبَتَهُم سَتَكونُ عَلى حَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِم
رسالة القدّيس بولس الثانية إلى أهل قورنتس11/من07حتى15/:”يا إخوَتِي، أَتُرَاني ٱرْتَكَبْتُ خَطِيئَة، لأَنِّي وَاضَعْتُ نَفْسي لِتَرْتَفِعُوا أَنْتُم، عِنْدَمَا بَشَّرتُكُم بإِنْجِيلِ ٱللهِ مَجَّانًا؟ لَقَدْ سَلَبْتُ كَنَائِسَ أُخْرَى، آخِذًا مِنْهَا النَّفَقَةَ لِخِدْمَتِكُم. ولَمَّا كُنْتُ عِنْدَكُم، وأَنا مُعْوِز، لَم أُثَقِّلْ عَلى أَحَدٍ مَنْكُم، لأَنَّ عَوَزِي قَد سَدَّهُ الإِخْوَةُ الَّذينَ جَاؤُوا مِنْ مَقْدُونِيَة. وقَد حَرِصْتُ في كُلِّ شَيءٍ أَلاَّ أُثَقِّلَ عَلَيْكُم، وسَأَحْرَصُ أَيْضًا. فَبِحَقِّ المَسِيحِ الَّذي فِيَّ، إِنَّ هذَا الافْتِخَارَ لَنْ يُنْزَعَ مِنِّي في بِلادِ أَخَائِيَة! لِمَاذَا؟ أَلأَنِّي لا أُحِبُّكُم؟ أَللهُ يَعْلَم! ولكِنِّي أَفْعَلُ هذَا وسَأَفْعَلُهُ، لأَقْطَعَ السَّبيلَ عَلى الَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ سَبيلاً، لِيُفَاخِرُوا بِمَا نَحْنُ بِهِ مُفَاخِرُون! فإِنَّ أَمْثَالَ هؤُلاءِ هُم رُسُلٌ كَذَّابُون، وفَعَلَةٌ مَاكِرُون، مُتَنَكِّرُونَ بِلِبَاسِ رُسُلِ المَسِيح. ولا عَجَب، فإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ نَفْسَهُ يَتَنَكَّرُ بِلِبَاسِ مَلاكِ النُّور. إِذًا فَلَيْسَ بِغَرِيبٍ أَنْ يَتَنَكَّرَ خُدَّامُهُ بِلِباسِ خُدَّامِ البِرّ: إِنَّ عَاقِبَتَهُم سَتَكونُ عَلى حَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِم!

‘No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 03/22-30/:’After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he spent some time there with them and baptized. John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim because water was abundant there; and people kept coming and were being baptized John, of course, had not yet been thrown into prison. Now a discussion about purification arose between John’s disciples and a Jew.They came to John and said to him, ‘Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing, and all are going to him.’ John answered, ‘No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, “I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.” He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. For this reason my joy has been fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease.’”

No wonder! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness>
Their end will match their deeds.
Second Letter to the Corinthians 11/07-15/:”Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed God’s good news to you free of charge? I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for my needs were supplied by the friends who came from Macedonia. So I refrained and will continue to refrain from burdening you in any way. As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! And what I do I will also continue to do, in order to deny an opportunity to those who want an opportunity to be recognized as our equals in what they boast about. For such boasters are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will match their deeds.”
