* Consider how Christ confirmed His words by His deeds.

Thus He says: "Learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart" (Matthew 11:29).

He taught people to be poor, and He demonstrated this by His deeds, for "the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head" (Matthew 8:20).

Again, He commanded people to love their enemies, and He taught the same lesson on the cross when He prayed for His crucifiers.

He said: "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also" (Matthew 5:40). Now He not only gave His garments but offered His blood. In this way, He commanded others to teach.

Therefore Paul also says: "Imitate me" (Philippians 3:17).

* تأملوا كيف ثبَّت المسيح كلماته بأعماله.هكذا يقول: "تعلموا مني، لأني وديع ومتواضع القلب" (مت ١١: ٢٩).

علَّم البشر أن يكونوا فقراء،
وقد أوضح ذلك بأعماله،
فإن "ابن الإنسان ليس له أين يسند رأسه" (مت ٨: ٢٠).

مرة أخرى أوصى البشر أن يحبوا أعداءهم،
وقد علَّم ذات الدرس على الصليب حين طلب من أجل صالبيه.

لقد قال: "من أراد أن يخاصمك ويأخذ ثوبك، فأترك له الرداء أيضًا" (مت ٥: ٤٠).
الآن لم يعطِ فقط الثياب بل قدم دمه.

بهذه الطريقة أمر الآخرين أن يعلِّموا.

لذلك يقول بولس أيضًا: "كونوا متمثلين بي" (في ٣: ١٧).

سمات ثلاث هامّة في حياة الخادم الحقيقي، متكاملة ومتلازمة:
الحديث مع الله بقلب مفتوح،
وخدمة الناس بحب داخلي منفتح مهما كانت تصرّفاتهم،
والفرح الروحي الداخلي المشبع للنفس.

رُوحُ اللهِ صَنَعَنِي، وَنَسَمَةُ الْقَدِيرِ أَحْيَتْنِي [أيوب ٣٣: ٤].

استخدم كثير من آباء الكنيسة هذه العبارة لتأكيد لاهوت الروح القدس بكونه الخالق واهب الحياة.

فإن كان الآب هو الخالق وواهب الحياة، فإن الأقانيم الثلاثة يشتركون معًا في كل عمل إلهي.

هنا يتحدث مع أيوب بروح الأخوة الصادقة، فيوضح له أنه من صنع روح الله، الذي وهبه الحياة.

فهو أداة في يد الله الذي خلق أيضًا أيوب ووهبه الحياة.

فلا يليق بأيوب أن يخشى الحوار مع زميله في الخلقة والحياة،

إذ الاثنان مدينان لروح الله بوجودهما وحياتهما.

يؤكد له أن الاثنين خليقة الله،

لهما ذات الطبيعة،

ولها ضعفاتها التي تسللت إلى الطبيعة البشرية.

“The Spirit of God has made me,And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. [Job 33: 4].”

Many Church Fathers used this phrase to affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit as the Creator and Giver of life.

If the Father is the Creator and Giver of life, then the three Persons participate together in every divine work.

Here he speaks with Job in the spirit of true brotherhood, clarifying that he is made by the Spirit of God, who gave him life.

He is an instrument in the hand of God,
who also created Job and gave him life.

It is not fitting for Job to fear dialogue with his fellow creature in creation and life,

as both owe their existence and life to the Spirit of God.

He assures him that both are God's creation,

having the same nature,

with its weaknesses that have crept into human nature.
