Вседержитель
Machine translation from the original · Show original
God contains everything in His hand, as the prophet sings: in His hand are all the ends of the earth (Ps. 94:4), - in this almighty hand the sinner is contained, preserved, lives, moves and exists, for in Him we live and move and exist (Acts 17:28). Therefore He is called the Almighty. But when a person sins and is lawless, he dishonors and insults God, his Almighty, and acts like that foolish child who, being in the arms of his mother and father, blasphemes, beats and spits on them. The shameless sinner acts similarly towards God, his Lord and Father, in whose arms he remains, although he does not notice it, blinded.
