This is a study of Jesus being the greatest wise man. He had the very wisdom of His father, and as you study His teaching you come to realize that no one ever spoke as He did, and no one was ever more clever in dealing with problems and issues. He had the greatest plan for the best life for time and eternity.
Who Is Jesus Christ for Us Today?
To say that Jesus Christ is the truth of the Christian story calls for further examination. It is one thing to assert that the New Testament describes Jesus as the Oppressed One who came to liberate the poor and the weak (Chap. 4); but it is quite another to ask, Who is Jesus Christ for us today? If twentieth-century Christians are to speak the truth for their sociohistorical situation, they cannot merely repeat the story of what Jesus did and said in Palestine, as if it were selfinterpreting for us today. Truth is more than the retelling of the biblical story. Truth is the divine happening that invades our contemporary situation, revealing the meaning of the past for the present so that we
are made new creatures for the future. It is therefore our commitment to the divine truth, as witnessed to in the biblical story, that requires us to investigate the connection between Jesus' words and deeds in firstcentury Palestine and our existence today. This is the crux of the christological issue that no Christian theology can avoid.
The Philokalia is a collection of the writings of the Eastern Church Fathers beloved by the Orthodox but little known by many Catholics and Protestants. When reading the works of the Roman Stoic philosophers, I was struck by the commonalities between the stoic writings and the Philokalia, the shared lists of virtues and vices as well as the terminology, which made it clear that many of the writers in the Philokalia were drawing from Greco-Roman moral philosophy.
In their introduction, the translators tell us the meaning of the Philokalia. “Philokalia itself means love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent, understood as the transcendent source of life and the revelation of Truth. It is through such love that, as the subtitle of the original edition puts it, ‘the intellect is purified, illumined and made perfect.’ . . . The Philokalia shows the way to awaken and develop attention and consciousness, to attain that state of watchfulness which is the hallmark of sanctity.” “The Philokalia is an itinerary through the labyrinth of time, a silent way of love and gnosis through the deserts and emptiness of modern life, a vivifying and fadeless experience.” The Philokalia is a “summons to man to overcome his ignorance, to uncover the knowledge that lies within, to rid himself of illusion, and to be receptive to the grace of the Holy Spirit who teaches all things and brings all things to remembrance.” The Philokalia encourages unceasing prayer and the Jesus Prayer.

St Augustine’s key work, On Christian Teaching, is translated often as On Christian Doctrine, teaches us how to read Scriptures and teach and spread our faith to our neighbors. What is the core of this work? We should Love God with all of our heart and with all of our soul and with all of our mind and with all of our strength, and we should love our neighbor as ourselves. If we do not love our neighbor, we cannot Love God, and if we do not Love God and our neighbor, we cannot fathom Scripture, let alone deign to teach and preach the Scriptures.
St Augustine teaches, “Whoever thinks he understands the Holy Scriptures, or any part of them, but interprets them in a way that does not build up this two-fold Love of God and love of neighbor, does not truly understand the Scriptures. If, on the other hand, a man draws a meaning from Scriptures that builds up the two-fold Love of God and love of his neighbor, although he does not precisely understand the exact meaning of the author, his error is not pernicious, and he is wholly clear from the charge of deception.”
St Augustine further teaches that if someone with a good heart and pure motives has a mistaken interpretation of Scripture, that “if his mistaken interpretation of Scripture tends to build up love, . . . he goes astray in much the same way as a man who by mistake quits the high road, but yet reaches through the fields the same place to which the road leads.”

Epictetus is my favorite Roman Stoic Philosopher. The writings of Epictetus are accessible and easy to read, consisting of one maxim after another, resembling the teachings of the early Church Fathers in the Philokalia, echoing many of sayings in the Gospels and Epistles of St Paul. Many of his writings were his recollections of the sayings of his Stoic teacher, Musonius Rufus.
To Epictetus, only the good can be truly happy, only the good can truly be free, tyrants may take all you own, but they can never take your most prized possession, your freedom of will; tyrants can throw you in jail, but they can never take away the freedom of your mind; tyrants can take your life, but they can never have your soul. Epictetus, the great philosopher of freedom, was a former slave, a slave to a freed man, and was both poor and a cripple, eking out a living by teaching philosophy.
Epictetus tells us of someone who stole his lamp one night, Epictetus got the better end of the exchange. For Epictetus only lost his lamp, but he kept his faith. The man who stole his lamp, in exchange for the lamp he consented to become a thief, becoming faithless.
I first learned of Epictetus from a series of Teaching Company lectures on Greek Moral Philosophers by Professor Timothy Luke Johnson. This a series of lectures that deeply affected me. The similarities between the stoic philosophers and the writings of the monastic eastern Church Fathers who preceded St Benedict, and to the Pauline Epistles and the Gospels, are so striking that I can truly say I am a better Christian for having read the Stoic Philosophers.
Likewise, the stoic philosophers are greatly treasured by Professor Johnson. He had by chance picked up a used book containing the writings of Epictetus and was deeply influenced by his teachings. It is puzzling why the stoic philosophers are so often neglected by modern scholars, they were far more highly prized in antiquity and by the early Christians and Church Fathers.
We include many more of the sayings of Epictetus in our video. Enjoy!

Like all Stoic philosophers, Marcus Aurelius never asks why bad things happen to good people, why the virtuous suffer while the evil prosper, how God can permit suffering in a perfect world. Not only are these questions never asked by the stoics; stoics see these questions as simply absurd. Marcus Aurelius is aware that “good and evil happen indiscriminately to the good and the bad.” Furthermore, “death and life, honor and dishonor, pain and pleasure – all these things happen equally to good men and bad, being things which make us neither better nor worse. Therefore, they are neither good nor evil.” The Stoics never only ask why bad things happen to good people, rather they ask, bad things happen to both good people and bad, good things happen to both bad and good people, sometimes more, sometimes less, so what? If you are poor, be virtuous in your poverty, if you are rich, be virtuous in your wealth, always be generous, you can live a virtuous life regardless of your station in life.
The last of the good emperors, Marcus Aurelius was both an emperor and a stoic philosopher, living a stoic life of moderation while ruling the Empire out of a sense of duty. He wrote the Meditations in Greek in his tent while on campaign fighting against the Germanic tribes. His biggest inspiration came from studying Epictetus, the stoic philosopher who was a former slave of a former slave.

This vol
ume undertakes to give these sayings of Jesus in
their original forms. These doubtless vary in some
respects from Jesus exact sayings, but not in any
very important degree. It has been impracticable
in most cases to give the evidence for these originals
without making the volume too technical, and so de

the ethical Teaching of Jesus.

Through this journey of discovery, readers will gain new perspectives on the teachings of Jesus and their relevance to modern spirituality. Whether you are a scholar, a seeker, or simply curious, "Did Jesus Really Say??" is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper connection to the Divine.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
