Made to Be a Kingdom

Christ is Risen! In this episode, our hosts discuss the Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom as well as Holy Resurrection Bright Week as the continuation of the Paschal Feast of feasts, and how all are to enjoy and partake of the feast and continue it and not just leave it on Pascha itself.

Our hosts discuss Holy and Great Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Pascha itself. They discuss its meaning for us as we do not just remember but participate in the death and resurrection of Christ itself in the liturgical services, and how it was during these days that Christ makes the Church His Kingdom as the eternal Israel of God, as He gives us to partake of Him as the eternal Passover.

Our hosts discuss Holy Week and its meaning to us as God’s Kingdom. They begin by discussing the important meaning to us as children of the Lord’s Kingdom of the feasts of St. Lazarus and of Palm Sunday, the Triumphal Entrance of the King of kings into Jerusalem. They further talk about the meaning of the “Bridegroom Services of Holy Week,” and their meaning to us as we look forward to Pascha and His coming “in the middle of the night.”
