Cine a fost Sf\u00e2ntul Iacob<\/p>\n
Potrivit relat\u0103rilor, Sf\u00e2ntul Iacob a fost ini\u021bial un apropiat al \u00eemp\u0103ratului persan Izdegherd. Sub influen\u021ba acestuia, el s-a \u00eendep\u0103rtat de credin\u021ba cre\u0219tin\u0103, ajung\u00e2nd s\u0103 aduc\u0103 jertfe zeilor p\u0103g\u00e2ni. Gestul s\u0103u a atras un r\u0103spuns dureros, dar salvator, din partea mamei sale, care i-a trimis o scrisoare mustr\u0103toare. Ea i-a repro\u0219at c\u0103 a schimbat „adev\u0103rul pe minciun\u0103”, aleg\u00e2nd gloria trec\u0103toare a \u00eemp\u0103ratului p\u0103m\u00e2ntesc \u00een locul vie\u021bii ve\u0219nice \u00een Hristos.<\/p>\n
Aceast\u0103 mustrare l-a adus pe Iacob la o profund\u0103 reflec\u021bie. Hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i repare gre\u0219eala, el a declarat: \u201eVoi petrece b\u0103t\u00e2nd ne\u00eencetat \u00een u\u015fa milostivirii lui Dumnezeu, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd \u00eemi va deschide. \u0218tiu c\u0103-mi va deschide, pentru c\u0103 este \u00cendurat \u0219i Milostiv.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martiriul: o jertf\u0103 pentru Hristos<\/p>\n
Revenit la credin\u021ba cre\u0219tin\u0103, Sf\u00e2ntul Iacob \u0219i-a m\u0103rturisit public credin\u021ba \u00een fa\u021ba \u00eemp\u0103ratului, refuz\u00e2nd s\u0103 mai slujeasc\u0103 zeilor p\u0103g\u00e2ni. Drept pedeaps\u0103, acesta a fost condamnat la moarte prin t\u0103ierea m\u0103dularelor, \u00eentr-un proces chinuitor \u0219i simbolic. \u00cen timpul suferin\u021bei, Iacob s-a rugat fierbinte: \u201eDoamne, d\u0103-mi t\u0103rie s\u0103 r\u0103bd durerile acestea \u0219i s\u0103-mi r\u0103spl\u0103tesc cu s\u00e2ngele meu gre\u0219eala.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce degetele, m\u00e2inile \u0219i picioarele \u00eei erau t\u0103iate, el compara chinurile sale cu tunsoarea oilor, afirm\u00e2nd: \u201eEu sunt oaie a turmei lui Hristos, iar voi sunte\u021bi cei ce m\u0103 tund, dezbr\u0103c\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de trupul stric\u0103cios, pentru a m\u0103 \u00eembr\u0103ca \u00eentr-unul nestric\u0103cios.\u201d \u00cen cele din urm\u0103, i-a fost retezat capul, iar astfel sufletul s\u0103u a ajuns la Domnul.<\/p>\n
Pilda Sf\u00e2ntului Iacob Persul este una a poc\u0103in\u021bei adev\u0103rate \u0219i a rezisten\u021bei \u00een fa\u021ba \u00eencerc\u0103rilor. El ne aminte\u0219te c\u0103 orice gre\u0219eal\u0103 poate fi r\u0103scump\u0103rat\u0103 printr-o inim\u0103 curat\u0103, o credin\u021b\u0103 vie \u0219i o m\u0103rturisire sincer\u0103. \u00cen aceast\u0103 zi de s\u0103rb\u0103toare, cre\u0219tinii sunt chema\u021bi s\u0103 reflecteze la exemplul s\u0103u de jertf\u0103 \u0219i \u00eentoarcere la Dumnezeu.<\/p>\n
