By H.H. Pope Shenouda III
You are the divine creature:
You, Valiant, are a divine creature whom God the Son addressed saying, "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine." (John. 15:4). You, at whose door God knocks wishing you to open for Him so He may enter and dine with you and you with Him and makes His home with you. (Rev 3,20; John. 14:23)
You are the image of God and you have His attributes.. See how the Lord Jesus Christ - glory be to Him - says about Himself "I am the light of the world" then says to you and your brethren, "You are the light of the world". (Matt. 5:14) .
