“Today the faithful are sanctified and know the Triune God in a saving festival in which all creation, heavenly and earthly, participates”, points out Archimandrite Aristarchus Grekas
“God within the historical context reveals himself to man in order to reveal His love to him. Epiphanies in the Old Testament strengthen and guide God’s people.
On the occasion of the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ, the manifestation of the Holy Trinity takes place, it is an epiphany connected with the baptism of the Lord”, Archimandrite Aristarchos Grekas, cleric of the Archdiocese of Athens and assistant professor of the School of Theology, emphasizes to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency of EKPA.
Next, he points out that “The Trinity of God is revealed to humanity by affirming the divinity of Jesus, the incarnate Son and Word of God, with the testimony “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. The Father blesses and testifies and the Holy Spirit descended on Christ “in the form of a dove”, which confirms his divinity.
The incomprehensible mystery of the Holy Trinity is revealed.
“In the Jordan of your baptism, Lord, the worship of the Trinity was revealed”.
“Today the error is removed, and the despot’s eloquence works as a way of salvation for us”. From today the error is abolished and the coming of the Despot prepares the way of our salvation.
The coming of the Despot Christ opens the way to Heaven, as the Sun of justice has risen for our sake, “Today heaven shines upon men, and the Sun of justice rises upon us.”
“Today the holy and loud-mouthed Orthodox festival is rejoicing”, where Despotis hastens to be baptized in order to raise man high and “and a dance of saints gathers us together, and angels celebrate after men”.
Finally, he emphatically notes: “”every building from above shines brightly”. Today the entire building is illuminated from the sky.
Today the creation is blessed and according to St. Hippolytus of Rome, the visible and the invisible are reconciled, the heavenly orders are filled with joy, earthly diseases are cured, the incomprehensible become known, and the two worlds are reconciled.
Today believers are enlightened with divine light.
Today the faithful are sanctified and know the Triune God in a saving festival in which all creation, heavenly and earthly, participates.
