Choose Life | Orthodox Cross and Fiery Seraphim Angel Wings | The Narrow Path | Christian HoodieChrist explains that the narrow and sorrowful path of life preached by Him has as its natural end eternal joy, while the broad and easy path, counter to the Gospel, culminates in eternal grief, eternal torment. These are not incentives, not external pedagogical methods to force a person to act in a certain way. They are the natural results of a chosen lifestyle, which He warns against and makes abundantly clear. Archbishop Averky (Taushev)

On the other hand: ‘One who loves Me

He is the truth

even the death of the cross

prepared against dangers

seeking whom he may devour

Did I feed the hungry

And our Lord himself said with his divine lips that such affliction ‘was not from the beginning of the creation’ (Mark 13:19)

Explanation of the Gospel According to St Luke (21:28-33)

you cursed

all of you

we hymn Thee and with love worship Thine unapproachable power
