MEANING OF ZEAL His Holiness The thrice blessed Pope Shenouda III

Zeal is kindling the heart and the will, as if with fire, to do what one believes to be good. One might become enthusiastic and taken Over by zeal, for something wrong, like St Paul when he said about his past, "concerning zeal, persecuting the Church." (Phil. 3:6) While there is a holy zeal, as the Psalmist talked about, "Because zeal for your house has eaten me up" (Ps. 69:9), there is also a sinful zeal as in (Gal 5:20) and "Jealousy as cruel as the grave" (Songs 8:6). Therefore the Apostle said, "But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always." (Gal. 4:18) There is a zeal that is not good, like what the Apostle talked about to the Romans, "For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge." (Rom 10:2) One might ignorantly become zealous, enthusiastic to fight something without knowledge or investigation, without accuracy, just for what is heard, as Jesus said, "Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service." (John 16:2). This zeal is not associated with knowledge, like the zeal of Saul of Tarsus, about which he said, "... but I obtained, mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief." (1 Tim. 1: 13) Therefore, do not become zealous hastily, but mix your zeal with knowledge. Do not believe everything said to you about others' faults or requirements of reform. Think study and investigate everything, adhere to the good attributes. Jealousy could be wrong in its means and way of expression. For example, Peter's zeal for the Lord, which made him raise his sword and cut off the ear of the slave. When one of the Samaritan cities rejected the Lord, John and James said to Him, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" (Luke 9:54) One could be filled with zeal which makes one fall in abusing and defaming or hurting and bashing or rebelling and ruining. Such a person changes into a tool of destruction, ruining whatever stands in his way in a non-spiritual manner. This is also a kind of jealousy which is not according to knowledge because the person does not know the right spiritual way to express his zeal. It happened that forty Jewish persons vowed not to eat and drink, till they had killed Paul. There is a wrong zeal which is mixed with selfishness and bias. An example of this is Joshua's zeal for the sake of Moses, when he saw two persons prophesying "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the Lord's people were prophets..." (Num. 11:29)

Continued from last issue...

Another- If the Divine Nature is without quantity, and, the lesser is cognizant of degree, how can the Son Who is by Nature God be conceived of as inferior? He will not be beyond the province of quantity, if they say that He has inferiority to the Father. Another- The blessed John says of the Son that He gives not the Spirit by measure; to those that is who are worthy. Since then there is not measure in the Son, He is immeasurable, and surpasses all comprehension in quantity as being God. How then is the not-measured less? Another- If the Son is lesser, the Father greater, differently, it is plain, and in proportion to the measures that Either has, will they contribute to our sanctification. And the Father will sanctify in a greater degree, the Son in a less and. separately. The Spirit therefore will be twofold, and less in the Son, greater in the Father. And they who are sanctified by the Father will be sanctified perfectly, they who by the Son, not perfectly. But great is the absurdity of reasoning herein; For One is the Holy Ghost, one and perfect the Sanctification, freely given by the Father through the Son Naturally. Not lesser then is He Who has the same operation with the Perfect Father, and Who has the Spirit of Him Who begot Him, a good of His own Nature, Living and existing, even as the Father has. Another- If the Son were in the Form and Equality of God, as Paul says, how is He lesser that He? For the mode of the dispensation with Flesh and the humiliation thereupon mentioned, which has the Second Appearance from Heaven as its termination, will not, I suppose, bare the Son of the dignity by Nature belonging to Him. He will surely come, as we heard Him say, in the glory of His Father. How then is he at all in the glory of the Perfect Father who is inferior to Him? Another- God the Father is somewhere found to say by one of the prophets, I will not give My glory unto another. We must ask therefore those who impiously dishonour the Son, nay rather through Him the Father too (for he that honours not the Son, neither does he honours the Father), whether the Son being, as they suppose, less than God the Father is Consubstantial with Him, or no? If then they shall say that He is Consubstantial why do they for nought put on Him the less? For things that are of the same essence and nature, will never have the greater in themselves, as regards the mode of their being: for this altogether is it that is under consideration.

But they will not perhaps agree, nor will grant that the Son is Consubstantial with the Father, He being according to them less: He will therefore be wholly other and alien from the Father. How then He has His glory? For there was given Him, says blessed Daniel, glory and a kingdom. For either God the Father will lie in saying, I trill not give My glory unto another: or if He is true, and did give His glory to the Son, then is He not other than He, the Fruit of His Essence and His True Offspring. And He Who is so situated towards the Father in regard of Essence, how will He be less than He?

Others, simple and without connection; if the Father is Almighty and the Son likewise Almighty how is He lesser than He; for I do not suppose that according to the law of sequence, the imperfect will mount up to the measure of the perfect. And if the Father is Lord, and the Son likewise Lord; how is He less than He; for He will be not perfectly free if He be less in lordship, and have not the full dignity in Himself? To be continued in next issue...

THE SON IS BOTH GOD AND MAN BY NATURE AND IN NO WAY EITHER INFERIOR TO OR UNLIKE THE FATHER
