Jesus Christ, The Word of God, and Scriptures

Fr. Ted Bobosh

I am now bringing the quotes together to explore the relationship between the Word of God and the Scriptures.

The Scriptures bear witness to Him. It is of Jesus that all the Scriptures speak.

The Best Inheritance

A story from the life of Elder Zosima (Verkhovsky) (1767-1833)

After the first days of grieving and tears, the mother called her sons and said to them, "You see, my children, I am now old and weak, and I may not live much longer. While I am still alive, I want you to divide the estate in my presence. Then I will die peacefully, knowing that all of you will live in harmony and love when I'm gone. You know that family conflicts occur mostly because of property."
