Good Friday service tonight at 6pm 

Today everyone should be in Church to pray, worship and to be with Christ in His passion. Don’t forget that he died for us, for our sins!

Вечерас у 6пм вечерња служба са изношењем плаштанице.

Данас би сви требали доћи у Цркву да се помолимо Богу, да се поклонимо распетоме Христу и да будемо са Њиме у Његовом страдању. Не заборавите да је Он умро за нас. 

-

Today, humanity has condemned God to death. It is the greatest revolt in the history of heaven and earth. This is the greatest sin in the history of heaven and earth. Not even fallen angels did that. Today is the Last Judgment of God. The world has never seen a more innocent convict, never a more foolish judge ... He endured all the mockery, all the humiliation - for what? Therefore, my brothers and sisters, to enter our death, to take it upon Himself, to destroy it as God.

That is why He endured everything. That is why he received the cross in order to destroy death by the power of His Deity as a God-man. And it is said in one of today's wonderful church songs: "The Lord received all the mockery, and slaps, and spitting, and all the suffering, to give us all a resurrection from the dead." That is why the Lord entered our death, descended into human death, to take that hardest and most terrible torment on Himself, to destroy it and to give us humans resurrection from the dead, to give people immortality and Eternal Life, to make our human body immortal, and the soul is already created immortal.

Данас je човечанство осудило Бога на смрт. То je највећи  бунт у историји неба и землье. То je највећи  грех у истории неба и землье. Ни пали анђели то учинили нису. Данас je извршен Страшни суд над Богом. 

Никада невинијег осуђеника, никада безумнијег судију свет видео ниjе... Поднео је сва руганьа, сва понижена - ради чега? Ради тога, да би ушао у нашу смрт, да би њу узео на Себе, да би и њу разорио као Бог. 

Зато je Он истрпео све. Зато je примио крст да би силом Божанства Свог као Богочовек разрушио смрт. И вели се  данас у једној дивној црквеној песми:

"Господ je примио све поруге, и шамаре, и пльуваньа, и сва страданьа, да свима нама дарује васкрсенье из мртвих". Ето, ради тога je Господ ушао у смрт нашу, спустио се у смрт лудску, да ту најтежу и најстрашнију муку узме на Себе, да je

разори и да нама лудима подари васкрсенье из мртвих, да људима подари бесмртност и Живот Вечни, да тело лудско учини бесмрним, а душа je Beh створена бесмртном.
