God Reveals in Saints
(Part 3)
Christ will appear to the saints to reward them for their labor and to honor them as they honored him.
We will simply take a small example and comment on it. We even say "thank you" to the person who invited us to tea or the person who paid us a taxi! So, how much would the Almighty Christ thank the saints who suffered so much for the sake of His Holy name! How much he really respects them! Many verses can be given, but the problem lies in knowing Christ and hearing his words and believing, even if the verses are arranged, some people could not believe. If we really knew Christ and had his faith, we would not need a verse at all. Let us cite an example of how our holy fathers served and honored Christ throughout their lives. As written in the story of Abba Tekle Apostolo and Abba Samuel Zeldba, if these fathers of ours saw someone who had received Christ's flesh and blood vomiting, they would drink the vomit of that person for the glory of His flesh and blood. Abune Zena Markos also said that when a person who received the flesh was walking on the path of an obstacle, if his feet bled, they would lick the blood and express their love and respect for Christ in all such situations. Imagine what we feel and what we do when we see someone doing it, and look at the actions of the saints! What respect indeed! So, if we say "thank you" to the person who invited us to tea, how much Christ will respect the fathers who respect him like that!
The moment the saints did this, our Lord appeared to them and said, "As you have honored me in front of people, I will honor you in heaven and on earth." our Lord responded to the saints for their love and respect by saying; those who pray beliving in my divinity and your intercession, saying ' God of Abune TekleHaimanot, God of Samuel, God of Markus, have mercy on me'. I will then forgive and have mercy.
And their righteous work has survived for us and is giving us the value of body and soul. But this is a veiled gospel, except for those who are called and chosen.
👉He gave them a promise, so that we may know His goodness and forgiveness.

May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every language that He has created, today and always.
May the blessings of the Holy Mother of God, the Virgin, and the Cross be upon us. Amen.
