\u00cen duminica a patra dup\u0103 Rusalii s-a citit \u00een biserici din Epistola c\u0103tre Romani a Sf\u00e2ntului Apostol Pavel. \u201eAu nu \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 celui ce v\u0103 da\u021bi spre ascultare robi, sunte\u021bi robi aceluia c\u0103ruia v\u0103 supune\u021bi: fie ai p\u0103catului spre moarte, fie ai ascult\u0103rii spre dreptate?\u201d (6, 16). Noi \u0219tim de la M\u00e2ntuitorul, Care le spunea evreilor c\u0103 sunt robi, iar ei spuneau c\u0103 nu, c\u0103 sunt fiii lui Avraam \u0219i c\u0103 nu au cunoscut robie (cf. Ioan 8, 33), c\u0103 cel care face p\u0103catul \u201eeste rob al p\u0103catului\u201d. De aceea spune Sf\u00e2ntul Apostol Pavel acestea. \u0218i continu\u0103: \u201eMul\u021bumim \u00eens\u0103 lui Dumnezeu, c\u0103 (de\u0219i) era\u021bi robi ai p\u0103catului, v-a\u021bi supus din toat\u0103 inima dreptarului \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103turii c\u0103reia a\u021bi fost \u00eencredin\u021ba\u021bi, \u0219i izb\u0103vindu-v\u0103 de p\u0103cat, v-a\u021bi f\u0103cut robi ai drept\u0103\u021bii\u201d (17-18).<\/p>

\"\"Avem aceast\u0103 imagine: a\u0219a cum am fost sau suntem robi ai p\u0103catului, a\u0219a de mult trebuie s\u0103 ne facem robi ai lui Dumnezeu. Vedem cum se manifest\u0103 robia p\u0103catului mai cu seam\u0103 la un om dependent (\u0219i mul\u021bi avem dependen\u021be). Se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 ceva (un trigger<\/em>, ar spune americanul), de exemplu un g\u00e2nd de tipul, \u201eVreau s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103\u201d \u0219i nu e pace p\u00e2n\u0103 nu m\u0103n\u00e2nc \u00eenghe\u021bata aceea. Sau vreau s\u0103 m\u0103 uit la emisiunea aia \u0219i, la fel, nu am pace p\u00e2n\u0103 nu m\u0103 uit. Sau altele mult mai grave. Aici se vede c\u0103 suntem robi. Vr\u0103jma\u0219ul z\u0103ng\u0103ne lan\u021bul \u0219i noi imediat \u201er\u0103spundem la apel\u201d. A\u0219a putem constata c\u00e2t de robi suntem p\u0103catului. Dar, Apostolul ne spune c\u0103 a\u0219a cum suntem\/am fost robi ai p\u0103catului, a\u0219a trebuie s\u0103 ne facem robi ai lui Dumnezeu. Adic\u0103, prin cuvintele suta\u0219ului din Evanghelia de azi, s\u0103 ne zic\u0103 Dumnezeu: \u201eF\u0103 aceasta!\u201d \u0219i noi s\u0103 facem. Nu s\u0103 zicem c\u0103 m\u00e2ine, c\u0103 auzim de multe ori la spovedanie c\u0103 oamenii vor s\u0103 se roage, dar am\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i nu o mai fac. Nu a\u0219a. C\u00e2nd mi-a dat Dumnezeu g\u00e2nd s\u0103 m\u0103 rog, p\u0103i atunci s\u0103 m\u0103 rog. Mi-a zis: \u201eDu-te!\u201d, p\u0103i s\u0103 m\u0103 duc. Mi-a zis: \u201eVino!\u201d, p\u0103i s\u0103 vin (la biseric\u0103 etc). \u201eF\u0103 aceasta!, f\u0103 metanii!, f\u0103 milostenie!\u201d, p\u0103i s\u0103 fac. Aceasta \u00eenseamn\u0103 robi ai lui Dumnezeu. Nu: \u201ehai mai \u00eencolo\u201d. Dac\u0103 nu \u00eemplinim \u00eendat\u0103 porunca \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 nu suntem robi!<\/p>

Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel continu\u0103: \u201eOmene\u0219te vorbesc, pentru sl\u0103biciunea trupului vostru. C\u0103ci precum a\u021bi f\u0103cut m\u0103dularele voastre roabe necur\u0103\u021biei \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103delegii, spre f\u0103r\u0103delege, tot a\u0219a face\u021bi acum m\u0103dularele voastre roabe drept\u0103\u021bii, spre sfin\u021bire. C\u0103ci atunci, c\u00e2nd era\u021bi robi ai p\u0103catului, era\u021bi liberi fa\u021b\u0103 de dreptate. Deci ce road\u0103 avea\u021bi atunci? Roade de care acum v\u0103 e ru\u0219ine; pentru c\u0103 sf\u00e2r\u0219itul acelora este moartea\u201d (19-21). Aici \u00een\u021belegem c\u0103 e foarte important s\u0103 vedem cui slujim \u0219i ce ob\u021binem.<\/p>

\u00cen general, a fi om nu-i u\u0219or. \u0218i omului, fie c\u0103 face r\u0103ul, fie c\u0103 face binele, tot nu-i va fi u\u0219or. Cum mi-a zis mie un om \u00een\u021belept c\u0103 a auzit \u00eentr-o predic\u0103 la un p\u0103rinte rus care vorbea despre greut\u0103\u021bile cre\u0219tinilor \u00een lume, despre prigoane \u0219i altele. \u0218i a \u00eencheiat acel p\u0103rinte spun\u00e2nd: \u201eA fi cre\u0219tin este greu. Dar e frumos!\u201d. Personal, cred tare mult c\u0103 a\u0219a este. De cealalt\u0103 parte, a fi p\u0103c\u0103tos pare la \u00eenceput c\u0103 este u\u0219or, dar nu este. Ori c\u0103 face p\u0103catul, ori c\u0103 face binele, omului \u00eei va fi greu \u00eentr-un sens. Dar rodul p\u0103catului \u2013 c\u0103 de aceea \u00eentreab\u0103 \u201eCe road\u0103 avea\u021bi?\u201d \u2013 e moartea. Aceea\u0219i greutate \u0219i culegi moarte. Aici, c\u00e2nd \u00ee\u021bi asumi via\u021ba \u00een Dumnezeu, \u00ee\u021bi asumi o greutate a lep\u0103d\u0103rii de r\u0103u, a dep\u0103rt\u0103rii de \u201ep\u0103catul care lesne ne \u00eempresoar\u0103\u201d, cum spune Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel (cf. Evrei 12, 1). Este o lupt\u0103 cu tine, cu duhul lumesc, \u0219i e cruce, iar \u201ecruce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 duci ce nu-\u021bi convine\u201d, cum spunea p\u0103rintele Arsenie Papacioc. Da, dar roada acestora este via\u021ba!<\/p>

Putem s\u0103 facem constatarea \u00eenc\u0103 din via\u021ba aceasta cu privire la roadele celor dou\u0103 c\u0103i. Vedem c\u0103 sunt oameni care au f\u0103cut p\u0103cate sau au tr\u0103it \u00een pl\u0103ceri, dar \u00eei vedem dup\u0103 chip, sunt acri\u021bi, am\u0103r\u00e2\u021bi. Sunt ei \u00een\u0219i\u0219i ofili\u021bi de mirosul greu al p\u0103catului. Acela e mirosul iadului. \u0218i-l culeg din via\u021ba asta. Pe de alt\u0103 parte, omul care s-a jertfit, care a f\u0103cut binele ca \u0219i suta\u0219ul de azi, are o fa\u021b\u0103 luminoas\u0103, culege harul lui Dumnezeu. De aceea \u00eentreab\u0103 Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel: \u201eDeci ce road\u0103 avea\u021bi atunci?\u201d \u0219i r\u0103spunde: \u201eRoade de care acum v\u0103 e ru\u0219ine; pentru c\u0103 sf\u00e2r\u0219itul acelora este moartea. Dar acum, izb\u0103vi\u021bi fiind de p\u0103cat \u0219i robi f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-v\u0103 lui Dumnezeu, ave\u021bi roada voastr\u0103 spre sfin\u021bire, iar sf\u00e2r\u0219itul, via\u021b\u0103 ve\u0219nic\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 plata p\u0103catului este moartea, iar harul lui Dumnezeu, via\u021ba ve\u0219nic\u0103, \u00een Hristos Iisus, Domnul nostru\u201d (Romani 6, 21-23).<\/p>

Acestea sunt cele dou\u0103 c\u0103i. \u0218i noi trebuie s\u0103 \u0219tim cui alegem s\u0103 slujim. Pe cine ascult\u0103m \u0219i cui ne facem robi. Ori p\u0103catului, ori drept\u0103\u021bii. Moarte, via\u021b\u0103. Alegerea este la noi. Greutate este \u00een am\u00e2ndou\u0103. De\u0219i pare la \u00eenceput c\u0103 \u00een p\u0103cat nu-i greutate, este. \u0218i este mult miros ur\u00e2t \u0219i greutate pentru suflet. Depresii, anxiet\u0103\u021bi \u0219i altele. Iar aici este cruce, dar care duce la via\u021b\u0103. Este calea M\u00e2ntuitorului. Nu este u\u0219oar\u0103, dar avem \u00eempreun\u0103 c\u0103l\u0103tor pe M\u00e2ntuitorul pe aceast\u0103 cale \u0219i pe to\u021bi sfin\u021bii. Acesta este Apostolul de ast\u0103zi: noi s\u0103 ne facem robi ai lui Dumnezeu, ca s\u0103 culegem via\u021ba ve\u0219nic\u0103.
