1 John 2:28-29

posted 3 years ago

καὶ νῦν τεκνία μένετε ἐν αὐτῷ ἵνα ἐὰν φανερωθῇ σχῶμεν παρρησίαν καὶ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶμεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ 29  ἐὰν εἰδῆτε ὅτι δίκαιός ἐστιν γινώσκετε ὅτι καὶ πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν δικαιοσύνην ἐξ αὐτοῦ γεγέννηται

Hold onto him even now, children of God.  When we encounter Jesus again, let’s find ourselves close and confident, not distant and ashamed of our imaginary Christ.  How embarrassing!  You’re familiar with Jesus and his virtue.  But anyone who practices this same virtue is born of God, too!  We are family.
