One Mouth and Two Ears 4th Sunday of Abib – 04.08.2013

Origen, (185-254 AD)

"The Word of God is in your heart. The

Word digs in this soil so that the spring may gush out." 

1. The Only ConductOnly let your conduct be

worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come

and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you

stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, Phil 1:27

 And I know that His command is

everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I

speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Jn 12:50

2. The Word endures forever

But the word of the LORD endures forever."

Now this is the word which by the gospel

was preached to you.

1 Pet 1:25

 All Scripture is given by inspiration (Breath) of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Tim

3:16

3. The Faith of the saying

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying,

“We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul

preaches.” Acts 19:13

4. One Mouth Jesus said, “Take away

the stone.” Jn 11:39

Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice,

“Lazarus, come forth!” Jn 11:43

Where the word of a king is, there is

power;And who may say to him, “What

are you doing?” Eccl 8:4

Jerome, 342-419 AD

"You are reading? No. Your betrothed is talking to you. It

is your betrothed, that is, Christ, who is united with you.

He tears you away from the solitude of the desert and

brings you into his home, saying to you, 'Enter into the

joy of your Master.'" 

First Ear… Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” Jn 11:39

Second EarAnd he who had died

came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them,

“Loose him, and let him go.” Jn 11:44

Bi-OikThe Bread of life, which

came down for us from heaven, has given life to the

world.

And you too, O Mary, have born in your womb the

rational Manna, which came from the Father.
