\u00cen duminica dinaintea Botezului Domnului s-a citit o prea frumoas\u0103 pericop\u0103 apostolic\u0103, din ultimul capitol al celei de-a doua epistole a Sf\u00e2ntului Apostol Pavel c\u0103tre Timotei: Fiule Timotei, fii treaz \u00een toate, sufer\u0103 r\u0103ul, f\u0103 lucru de evanghelist, slujba ta f\u0103-o deplin! C\u0103 eu de-acum m\u0103 jertfesc \u0219i vremea desp\u0103r\u021birii mele s-a apropiat. Lupta cea bun\u0103 m-am luptat, c\u0103l\u0103toria am s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219it, credin\u021ba am p\u0103zit. De acum mi s-a g\u0103tit cununa drept\u0103\u021bii, pe care Domnul \u00eemi va da-o \u00een ziua aceea, El, Dreptul Judec\u0103tor, \u0219i nu numai mie, ci \u0219i tuturor celor ce au iubit ar\u0103tarea Lui <\/em>(4, 5-8). Finalul reprezint\u0103 \u0219i motivul pentru care acest text este citit azi: Ar\u0103tarea Lui<\/em>, adic\u0103 a Domnului.<\/p>

\u00cen aceste r\u00e2nduri, Sf\u00e2ntul Apostol apare ca o lum\u00e2nare de cear\u0103 curat\u0103 care a ars \u2013 o jertf\u0103 preacurat\u0103! \u2013 \u0219i \u0219tie c\u0103 acum este aproape de sf\u00e2r\u0219it. \u00cencepe cu patru \u00eendemnuri extraordinare, izvor\u00e2te din propria sa experien\u021b\u0103. Tu fii treaz \u00een toate!<\/em> A\u0219a trebuie s\u0103 fie cre\u0219tinul, precum Heruvimii cei cu ochi mul\u021bi, aten\u021bi la toate! Apoi, Sufer\u0103 r\u0103ul!<\/em> Iat\u0103 ce \u00eendemn... \u0218i Apostolul vorbea cu un fiu. M\u00e2ntuitorul \u00een alt\u0103 parte zice Nu v\u0103 \u00eempotrivi\u021bi celui r\u0103u<\/em> (Matei 5, 39). Foarte interesant. Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel \u00eel \u00eendeamn\u0103 pe Timotei s\u0103 nu se descurajeze, s\u0103 nu se descump\u0103neasc\u0103 \u00een fa\u021ba at\u00e2tor rele, ci s\u0103 le sufere \u0219i s\u0103 treac\u0103 peste ele. F\u0103 lucru de evanghelist, slujba ta f\u0103-o deplin!<\/em> Acestea sunt patru \u00eendemnuri valabile pentru orice cre\u0219tin. Adic\u0103 s\u0103 facem lucrurile ca pentru Dumnezeu. A\u0219a a r\u0103mas \u00een cultura noastr\u0103 ortodox\u0103. A\u0219a trebuie s\u0103 tr\u0103im \u00een toate. Nu doar la biseric\u0103 sau \u00een anumite momente. Toate trebuie f\u0103cute deplin. Atunci se sfin\u021be\u0219te tot ceea ce facem noi.<\/p>

Am dorit s\u0103 accentu\u0103m pu\u021bin aceste cuvinte ale Sf\u00e2ntului Apostol Pavel, \u00eentruc\u00e2t ne-a impresionat duio\u0219ia lui, ajuns la finalul drumului, f\u0103c\u00e2nd el \u00eensu\u0219i ce \u00eel \u00eendemna pe Timotei: a fost treaz, a suferit mult r\u0103u, a propov\u0103duit Evanghelia<\/em>, motiv pentru care a \u0219i r\u0103mas Apostolul neamurilor<\/em>, a f\u0103cut totul deplin. \u0218i asta \u00eei las\u0103 ca testament lui Timotei \u0219i nou\u0103. E modelul s\u0103u.<\/p>

Vedem \u00een Sf\u00e2ntul Apostol roadele Ar\u0103t\u0103rii Domnului<\/em>. \u00cenceputul vizibil al m\u00e2ntuirii este acum, la Botezul Domnului, la Iordan, prin Ar\u0103tarea Domnului<\/em> oamenilor, prin preluarea p\u0103catelor omenirii asupra Sa. Iar sf\u00e2r\u0219itul acestui drum este marcat de Apostolul<\/em> din aceast\u0103 duminic\u0103, prin exemplul vie\u021bii Sf\u00e2ntului Apostol Pavel, care a iubit \u00eenceputul, adic\u0103 Ar\u0103tarea Domnului<\/em>, pe Domnul, \u0219i I-a fost credincios \u00eentreaga-i via\u021b\u0103, p\u00e2n\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u0219it.<\/p>

S\u0103 fim \u0219i noi a\u0219a, adic\u0103 iubitori p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it ai Ar\u0103t\u0103rii Domnului<\/em>. Ca s\u0103 dob\u00e2ndim \u0219i noi cununa drept\u0103\u021bii<\/em>, pe care Domnul o d\u0103 tuturor celor ce au iubit ar\u0103tarea Lui<\/em>. Amin!<\/p>
