Redeeming The Time

Fr. Seraphim Holland shares how the cross and baptism are linked. One cannot talk about one without the other. In the epistle today, the Apostle Paul shows this link. We also talk about what glorying in the cross is, and what he means when he says: "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world" and "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." All of us must also glory in the cross, and bear these marks, and the promise will apply to us: "as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy."
