      100 AND 1 QUOTES

      

      

      THE FIRST REVELATION

      The very first public words of Jesus were spoken by the lad of twelve on the verge of the Temple in Jerusalem. And even though they are not of explicitly aphoristic nature, with them we begin to cite the main sayings, commandments and parables of Jesus Christ. It is important that for the first time in these words, Jesus Himself lifts to us the veil of his future Messianic mission.

      1. “Why were you searching for me?” He asked: “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” (Lk. 2:49)

      

      THE BAPTIZING OF JESUS

      When Jesus humbly doused into the waters of the Jordan, he only obeyed the rite established by John the Baptist.

      As we know, the “baptizm” means in translation from Greek “to put into water”, so the word itself defines the following set of actions.

      2. “…for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” (Mt. 3:15)

      The importance of this rite is proved also by the fact, that the God Himself claimed that Jesus is His beloved Son at that moment.

      Another interesting fact is that in this rite is not “not the removal of dirt from the flesh, – as the Apostle Peter says, but an appeal to God for a good conscience” (1 Pet. 3.21). That is, when being baptized, everyone of us voluntarily puts his own cross on his shoulders, and gives a commitment to live according to his conscience and the willingness to bear the cross along with Jesus.

      We should also notice that Jesus Christ, performing the rite of baptism, showed all sinners an example of repentance and obedience to the Law, which is still imputed to this day, as a precondition for everyone to be able to enter the kingdom of God.

      3. “…truly, I tell you emphatically, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (Jn. 3:5)

      

      THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS BY SATAN

      Recalling the meeting of Jesus with Satan, we can understand that the very moment has come for Jesus to face the first and terrible hour of real external struggle not only “against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” still being fearsome for us, whispering about the temptations of sinful pleasures and at the same time wreaking suffering and human disasters in the world.

      Jesus’ answers to Satan are concise and plain, but at the same time instructive. Judge by yourselves.

      4. “One must not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out of the mouth of God.” (Mt. 4:4)

      I hesitate to affirm, but I think that, except Jesus, there is hardly a man on the Earth who has not turned out to be under the power of false idols and heroes of their time throughout his life, and of all that we call evil spirits, lies and cruelty, arrogance and deceit…

      The whole history of mankind, proudly wishing to become gods – is it no the history of nations, who have been already conquered by the power of Satan?

      However, someone who wants to obey the handsel, should seek it in Christ, and that one, who is eager to defeat the evil, may receive required and desired assistance from Christ. We can fight, as He did, but we must also remember that we can win only by His name.

      That is, by worshiping Him, and serving only Him.

      5. “Go away, Satan! Because it is written, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” (Mt. 4:10)

      As you know, the spirit of evil couldn’t find a way into the heart of Jesus and went away from him forever. But their personal struggle for our souls has not ended to this day.

      

      FIRST LESSONS OF TRUTH

      The words of Jesus were forever ingrained in the memory of his first disciples, as well as the first miracles, presented to them personally. Moreover, they see that everything their teacher touches, acquires a new meaning and a new life in Christ already.

      6. “Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going up and coming down to the Son of Man.” (Jn. 1:51)

      7. “Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whoever hears what I say and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged, but has passed from death to life.” (Jn. 5:24)

      These prophetic words of young Jesus did not fit into the concepts of the Jews, who were kept, as they say, on a short leash, by the scribes and Pharisees, that were strongly precipitating the inquiring minds and enslaving religious feelings of their people. People who were being torn by a variety of parties, oppressed by the Romans and discouraged, because, generally speaking, the Jews no longer hoped to see the fulfillment of predictions of their prophets about the appearing of the Messiah.

      8. “The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil;

      Everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions
