In this lecture on The Orthodox Faith Class — The Creed Continued, Fr. Gabriel walks the catechism class through the latter portions of the Nicene Creed, focusing on the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, explaining through the teaching of Saint Maximus the Confessor that Christ went to the cross willingly, submitting His natural human will to the divine will of the Father as the model for all of us. He also covers key creedal affirmations including the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father, the one holy catholic and apostolic Church, one baptism for the remission of sins, and the resurrection of the dead, challenging the class to ask themselves whether they truly "look for the resurrection" in their daily lives or merely recite the words, and reminding them that the Creed is not just a statement of belief but a prayer that strengthens us against the forgetfulness the devil tries to sow.
