When the gospel becomes an expression of personal desire and happiness, it has been hijacked by a foreign narrative. What do the pleasures of this world have to do with the Cross of Christ? Christ did not die for our self-fulfillment.

"The Jews rose up in rebellion against their Roman overlords and God abandoned them because they had abandoned Him, and the city of Jerusalem fell. Many were killed, others were raped pillared and plundered and the Jews were scattered to the four corners of the earth, and the first covenant nation-state of Israel came to an end. But as the people who responded to the parable said, God has now created a new vineyard and let it out to new tenants. And if you want to know where the new vineyard is, just look around, because you’re in it. This is the new vineyard of the Lord."

The purpose of these remarks is to inquire what sort of guidance theology may give us with respect to choosing a philosophy.
“When Jesus Christ, our Saviour tells him: Come, follow Me it means ‘give up something temporary to gain something eternal: the God-Man. Give up something earthly to have treasure in heaven—but the greatest heavenly treasure is Christ Himself.’

Those who live their life in Christ, those who follow the word of God and keep it like the Mother of God did, and does, have that to look forward to—a resurrection to eternal life, a resurrection not unto judgment but unto life. And if you notice in the icon of the Holy Dormition in the center of the church today, yes, her body is laid out to be taken to her tomb in Gethsemane, but Christ is there with her soul wrapped in swaddling clothes as an infant, and He’s carrying her.
