[Luke Ijaz @lukeijaz]

Jesus walks in the garden in the cool of the new day.

It is the eighth day of the old week and the first day of the new world.

Among the trees Jesus speaks to Mary.

The time has come for morning and the fleeing away of shadows.

Happy Easter, everyone!

[Luke Ijaz @lukeijaz]

“In the Scriptures be the fat pastures of the soul; therein is no venomous meat, no unwholesome thing; they be the very dainty and pure feeding. He that is ignorant, shall find there what he should learn.”

— Thomas Cranmer, martyr 1556

[Luke Ijaz @lukeijaz]

“At that time, I did know the true God. I was taken into captivity in Ireland…

It was there that the Lord opened up my awareness of my lack of faith. Even though it came about late, I recognised my failings. So I turned with all my heart to the Lord my God, and he looked down on my lowliness and had mercy on my youthful ignorance. He guarded me before I knew him, and before I came to wisdom and could distinguish between good and evil. He protected me and consoled me as a father does for his son.”

— Patrick of Ireland, Confession

“On the eighth day,
when it was time
to circumcise the child,
he was named Jesus,
the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.”

— Luke 2:21

Identity confirmed. Redemption begun.

Happy New Year!

“When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent”, he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.”

— Martin Luther

#ReformationDay

[Luke Ijaz @lukeijaz]

The Law and the Gospel are two keys.

The Law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation.

The Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out.

— William Tyndale

Martyr, 1536

From the midst of fire, Israel heard the voice of God.

From the midst of this newly kindled fire, the world now hears the voice of God.
