{"product_id":"2940158212550","title":"Christ has Risen Truly He has Risen - Resurrection Series - VOL 1","description":"This volume, represents the first in a series of books on \"Resurrection\".\u003cbr\u003eFather Matthew the Poor, (Abouna Matta El Meskeen), wrote many books, articles in different years, each covers the subject from a different angel.\u003cbr\u003eAll articles are mixing in harmony, the richness, greatness of the Orthodox Church, and the smoothness, and fluency for a sincere believer to live it all and experience it to its fullness. \u003cbr\u003eFor the church, \"Christos Anesti\", means that redemption is accomplished.  It is now the right of all sinners to receive in faith the bond of freedom from the captivity of sin and death, and to accept the call to eternal life.\u003cbr\u003eIn order to acquire a faith of such strength we have to penetrate into the depth of the church's doctrine.  The faith of the church closely links the mystery of the Last Supper (Thursday evening), the mystery of the crucifixion (Friday), and the mystery of the resurrection (dawn of Sunday).\u003cbr\u003eWith its keen theological sense, the Orthodox Church believes that Christ subjected himself to death while not under its sway.  Resurrection was immanent in him, and he consented to crucifixion only in the measure of his own commitment to his love for sinners.  \"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends\" and his obligation of obedience to the Father, \"became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross\" (Phil 2:8).\u003cbr\u003eWe know Resurrection as a past event, now we should know that it is a new life given to man.\u003cbr\u003eThe Resurrection is life in Christ, and for the sake of Christ alone.    \u003cbr\u003eWithin the articles of this volume, Abouna Matta answers in details few spiritual questions;\u003cbr\u003e• What signs of the man who lives in the fullness of Christ's resurrection? \u003cbr\u003e• What are the sources (we have and were given to us through the church), or means of grace by which we may enter into the resurrection of Christ?\u003cbr\u003eSince the fall of Adam, death has been man's greatest enemy. For though man has been assailed by many foes because of sin, death has always had the greatest sway on his soul. It is a fact which man has ever faced with the greatest dismay and horror.\u003cbr\u003eBut did God forsake man in this plight without a testimony to the possibility of conquering death and defeating its power before the coming of Christ?\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, you will find many instances of the conquest of death in the Old Testament, then after the incarnation of Christ, through resurrection, man has the ultimate victory over death.","brand":"Saint Mark Care","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172351688944,"sku":"2940158212550","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158212550_p0.jpg?v=1764110534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158212550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
