Living in a Way that Reveals the Truth we Confess
St. Nektarios of Aegina challenges Christians with a searching question: "Christians! Have we understood the great responsibility that we have taken before God through baptism? Have we come to know that we must conduct ourselves as children of God, and must align our will to the will of God, that we must remain free from sin?"
These words remind us that discipleship is not only about seeking Christ’s help, forgiveness, and guidance but also about living in a way that reveals the Truth we confess. Christ fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy, bringing good news to the poor, healing to the brokenhearted, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:18–19). To follow Him means embodying His Gospel through our own conduct and witness.
The parish community is an earthly embassy of God’s heavenly kingdom. Just as an embassy represents its homeland, so the Church manifests heaven on earth. If the parish is an embassy, every Christian is an ambassador of Christ. To bear the name “Christian” is to carry Christ Himself into the world, so that everyone who meets us might glimpse, if only faintly, His mercy, compassion, and love.
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
