Christ is Risen! ☦️

At 1:30, " there is enough grace in Holy Week to support the whole year." I believe that. ☦💝📿💝☦

There is enough grace in the finished work of Christ thru his birth death burial and resurrection to last eternity.

I pray you stay safe preaching this message . You tube nowadays could. Flag this as hates speech the way that they are behaving right now

I love that this started with Fr. Josiah saying there was enough grace in Holy Week to fill us for rest of the year. I was walking into church with a friend on the last Friday of lent and she commented on how Holy Week was like a spiritual recharge to get us through to the next Holy Week and I totally agreed with her. The year for me doesn’t really start till the Feast of the Resurrection.

I've heard it explained that those who called for His crucifixion were not among those chanting "Hosanna" at His entry. Those calling for His crucifixion were of the mob who were drawn up by the leaders who wanted Him killed. Jesus didn't only have 12 followers. He was followed by possibly thousands who believed in Him and that's why He was considered dangerous to the leaders.

Excellent Father, thank you. Glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Christ is risen! Fr. Josiah doesn't mince words. I appreciate his candor in talking about this issue. Catering to Jewish sensibilities does them a disservice in regard to their salvation. By God's grace, may all the lost sheep come back into the fold.

☦ Господе Исусе Христе Сине Божији помилуј нас грешне ☦

I'M CATHOLIC AND I LIKE LISTENING TO YOU VERY MUCH... YOUR TALK WAS HELPFUL I WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL NOW....

My heart still aches for my tribe, jewish people, I pray they wake up from their slumber

God bless you Fr. Josiah! Keep the fast this Holy Week brethren.

Jesus didn’t have an axe to grind at all against Rome, because being God in the flesh he foresaw that Rome in the early 300s AD was going to recognize Christianity for the whole Empire. Yes, Jesus came to save every human but especially also to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies as to the Messiah, to give the Israelites ( the chosen people) another chance to live up to the promises and commands of God. In the 2000 years that passed, on balance Christianity arose from its origins in the Holy Land and spread magnificently into all of Europe, the New World (Americas) and to various degrees into Africa, Asia, Australia, the Philippines, and even Hindu India. I have often pondered “what if” Islam, a made made cult, wasn’t invented in the 600s AD didn’t occur, then no doubt Christianity would be even more widespread and prevalent in the current Islamic nations. However, I fully trust in the Holy Trinity that Christianity will indeed ultimately prevail and take strong “grafting” in all the nations in this world. Islam is a House of Cards that is bound to fall as modern honest researchers and scholars are revealing to the world that this Arabian centric religion growing out of paganism and polytheists isn’t true. Make no mistake about it the Holy Trinity, our triune God, has a divine plan and is in total control of earth whether or not it is visible or understandable. Because Jesus came to change dramatically Jews and graft the gentiles, Jesus can easily also through mysteries to us Christians vanquish the grip other religions have upon their peoples and nations. Christianity was meant starting 2000 years ago to become the one and true salvation religion for all nations and peoples. This Holy Week offers hope and inspiration that indeed Christianity will prevail everywhere on earth as the magnificent and perfect divine plan, as mysterious it seems to be to us mortals, is in progress and fruition to the end times with the second coming. Hence, “Trust” in this divine plan.

Thank you

Wonderful sermon, Fr. Josiah. Thank you.

Blessings on this holy week 🙏❤️

Love your content!

Really enjoy these offerings. They are deep, and making me think...alot. Thank you. Please, if you would, pray for God's hand of direction on me. Amen.

Our Lord has a face like flint. Thank you Fr Josiah.

Always enjoyed listening to you Fr.Josiah ❤

Amazing sermon! Thank you Father.

Your words really resonated with me, about now walking through Holy Week with our Lord. Partnering with Him in a remembrance, lest we forget! This comment just gave me a great sense of Christ, literally touching my Lord, feeling his breath upon me, all in that moment. Kali Anastasi!

Thank you for such an important message! Христос воскрес!

When we read the Holy Scripture we should always put ourselves in the shoes of those who turned on Christ and Crucified Him.

Staying tuned for the PNP mugs!

Thankyou father let's always walk with our lord our savour ❤

Thank you Fr.

Important message!

A most blessed Easter to you Father.

Great job father

Great video Father

Great channel. Blessings this Holy Week to all

Thank you father for the knowledge

In the Western Rite we are still in Great Lent until Holy Saturday and the Great Paschal Vigil.

Amen & Amen

Great content 👍

The first major collapse of God's vineyard occurred in OT with Ahab's failure to obtain his neighbour's vineyard, after which Jezebel's intervention it became a field of blood. The NT parable serves as a sober reminder of the true nature of the vineyard, to which Christ gives himself as a covenantal offering, for the life of the world.

pasha hristos voskres

Christ is King ☦️

Yes!

there is much awakening happening in Israel when it comes to recognizing their Messiah Jesus Christ, prophecies are fulfilling "Salvation if of the Jews" as Jesus said in John 4:22

Thanks for the courage to show the truth despite of Israel's and Jewish tirany. Shame that many Orthodox priests dont have the same courage and knowledge.

AMEN.AMEN. AMEN..

Amen Amen Amen 🙏

Dear father, please make a video concerning the issue of Sabbath and the issue of the Divinity of Christ that Jews think are the obstacles that stand in the path of believing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah

Amen

Can father Josiah talk on preparation for the confession and Holy Communion? I think it would benefit orthodox Christians since there are many opposed opinions that confuse people. Specifically on fasting as preparation.

God is the Lord

Amen.☦⛪🕯

Good talk. Everyone else, Orthodox or not, please stop arguing online. Don't feed the trolls, and pray for the sincerely curious to find a local priest. People are giving and getting pat 2-3 sentence answers to questions that should be discussed for hours or days (or a lifetime?), hopefully over coffee, with a real flesh and blood person who cares about you. Orthodoxy is an incarnational faith!

Thank you for Matthew Chapters 21/22/23/24 For Holy Week Please make a video about Byzantine Cabala

🙏🏼

🙏🏾☦️

Father, I am a Jewish man who converted to the RC church 45 years ago. I do follow your channel. It seems to me that for the salvation of the world, Jesus had to be crucified, die and rise again. Therefore, since this had to occur, how can the persons who took part in that plan be guilty? Now I do understand that even though pre-ordained the people still had free will, but it has always been confusing to me. Thank you.

The problem in Israel particularly is that the locals don't really have an access to the orthodox church, orthodox churches in Israel don't speak Hebrew or English, they are either russian or Arab, so the local population only can really join the messianic movement, unfortunately the orthodox church doesn't seem to try and speak the language or change it's approach, it just exists within the country and stagnates, most people know nothing about it, it's not like the churches in the US that actually speak English and comprised out of Americans

When a chosen becomes entitled to it, loses it

Algorithm boost also.

Could you please cite the chapter & verse of the Letter of St. Paul that refers to the Church as the ‘New Israel’?

Wooo

So you're saying no new wars for the state of Israel???

The Mob Feels, it does not Think.

I am finding it hard to gain knowledge about israel, the jews, whether they are now chosen, whether israel should be to fulfill the prophesies, but god has my fifth, christ is my saviour and i shall follow they commandments

Kalo Pascha kai Kaln Anastasi tou Kyriou mas Isouy Xriste ☦️ zei o Xristos mas zei ☦️

AMHN ☦️..16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon (the Israel of God.) 17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen...Hosea 11:1 ,“(When Israel was a child,) I loved him, and out of Egypt I called (my son.)”Isaiah 9:6 6 For to us a child is born, to us( a son )is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for (you are all one in Christ Jesus.) 29And if you are Christ’s, (then) you are Abraham’s seed, (and heirs) according to the promise

In vain some stubborn unbelievers are relaying in blood and flesh inheritance, flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

God’s plan was to sacrifice his Son for our salvation and it was His plan to harden the hearts of the jews so Jesus would be crucified necessary to the glorious plan just as it was God’s plan for Him to be betrayed by a disciple and delivered to the Roman authority’s.

So sad that there is the coffee mug spot in this good video.

Wait, you guys in the US stop fasting during the Holy Week? Did i not understand it correctly? Here in my country (and most of Europe for that matter) we usually hold an even harsher fast during this time and it really is one of the most blessed weeks of the year

I wonder if the Frührer was Orothodox. It would be very nice.

☦️☦️☦️

yes yes INDEED...we were given the kingdom and grafted into the root and branch to produce THE SAME FRUIT as those cut off for their disbelief...and NOT the fruit of all the clever traditions of man...his glorious traditions...his most important councils... it's simple...testimonies are sealed at the death of the testator...no changes to His testimony He both taught AND DEMONSTRATED prior His sealing the lifestyle of the New Covenant...NO CHANGES Paul confirms Galatians 3:15

Good message... Brother, when you state that the church is the Israel of God, how are you defining "the church?" I'm trying to understand. I believe that the Israel of God includes all the sons of Abraham counted righteous by faith, including all Old Testament and New Testament saints. In other words, the New Testament Church is not the Israel of God, but rather all the saints in salvation history comprise the Israel of God, and are made perfect together (Hebrews 11:40; 12:23).

Well there are Jews for Jesus in todays world .

What do Orthodox think about Russia? Seems like alot of people are movng to Russia because the still honor God and the Orthodox religions. The media makes them seem bad but i feel like Russia it a fortress for Christian values.

Comment

Boostin it

Romans 11

Yep, but it is said the election of God is without repentance. "I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! " "For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?" The Jews (Israel in the flesh) will repent at the Resurrection of the Dead. They are that Women in Revelation 12 also....the whole birth pains idea refers to them, ie Jacobs trouble until they give birth to faith in Messiah.
