The Holy Book tells us that remnant locally known as “Trufan” refers to those who survived war, exile, and captivity. The root word, “Tiruf,” literally means “that which remains, that which is left over, a remainder, a surplus/extra.” (Metsihafe Sewasew Wegis We-Mezgebe Kalat Hadis, page 903)
Almost all of human minds question about identity. Even though it is not known how many of us have answered that question, based on the knowledge and experience we gained from human history we might have some awareness. Especially from the church where we learn the word of God, we have a bit of an understanding on why we were created and the meaning of our existence.
The foremost reason for the downfall of humans is the result of bad advice. Our father Adam though kept God’s law for seven years and live in heaven, he was deceived by the evil advice of Satan, then loose almighty Lord like God and holy place like heaven. This is due to evil advice; Now on this earth, alike previously, being aware or unaware, there are some bad advisers in deceiving and leading to unlawfulness.
On the other hand, there are good advisers initiating for goodness, direct the real path in enriching God, like Apostle Philip who is good advisor and dear friends. (John 1:46-51)

The great occasion all of us eagerly awaited for every year for we pray, fast and prostrate much have passed and we have celebrated the resurrection and assumption of our Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary.
Children! If you may remember, on our previous lesson of “which do you remember”, we have presented to you questions on the lesson about Christians endeavors. For now, we have presented you the answers.
Dear Children of God! How are you? How is the second semester test? We hope you have learned and studied well more than before and score good grades!
Little ones! We have begun summer. We believe you use this season properly in helping your parents in choirs, read Holy Scriptures (holy books) and prepare for the next year school lessons. You shall also not forget to attend Holy Church and learn spiritual teachings. Good! Children, now we will learn about obedience.
Humans worry for attaining both virtuous and evil thoughts. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ told us “do not worry” for the vanity world that is unjust. (Matthew 6:34) He knows what we seek and desire in the earthly life. The discerning mind we are endowed by Him is for the wisdom of us. Yet, it is improper to worry about any of it. Patristic Fathers teaching the children of God to “think but not worry” is for this reason. On the temporary earthly life, we shall be thoughtful, careful, “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16) We are warranted not to fear and worry in Christianity. Whilst the apostles were saddened about the Lord’s suffering and death, He sympathized them saying, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)
Absolute in His attribute, Holy and pure as He is, and for no uncleans is in Him, our Lord, God is a Good Father. The existence of Him before the creation of the world, for He does so now and forever, He lives in holiness in eternity. Before He created all the creatures by His mercy, He existed by sacred and triune; now also abodes glorified, sanctified and praised; as well will be praised in the future in His kingdom even for the inheritance of His honor and holiness to the Archangels and mankind. He did all this for His mercy, goodness, kindness and holy will.

We have now reached to the seventh week of this fasting season which is known as “Nicodemus.” After that, are Hosanna and the Passion Week, the suffering and crucifixion of our Lord before His resurrection/Tinsaye/.
Little ones, we shall commemorate this season by much prayer, fasting, prostrating (bowing) and alms giving according to our ability. We attend the Holy Church’s order and liturgy especially at “The Passion Week,” and participate on the prayer and prostrating. Ok, good! Now we will proceed to our lesson which is about forgiveness.
