we begin to enjoy the wealth of our own personality, which suddenly opens up to us. This is infinitely far from egoism, from immersion in oneself. This is the comprehension in oneself of that new, high, which was previously, as it were, “curtained” ... But this is not all: the meaning of communication with literature, art and that we become richer for one more life, for the life of the artist who created it. I wrote now "for one more life". But no! Not for one, but for a million lives, because the artist expressed, expressed what worried millions of his contemporaries. In his symphony, painting, novel - hope, longing, pain, joy of millions of people. Therefore, we become richer by a million lives. Our hearts and minds are filled with the spiritual experience of centuries and generations... A good reader is a writer's co-author. His spiritual life, in contact with the world of Pushkin, Stendhal or Tolstoy, takes wings, and he sees what he had not seen before. And that's what a writer is for. To teach to see. I have now written "spiritual life". But is it accessible to any person?.. Forms of spiritual life, as well as forms of creativity, are infinitely diverse. Spiritual life is communication with people, art, the autumn forest and with oneself. We are spiritual when we talk about something precious with a friend, trusting his mind and heart. We are highly spiritual when we feel the pricelessness of life and want to leave a modest imprint of our own personality in the world ... And we are spiritual when, rereading our favorite volume, we understand it in a new way.
Are art and literature important in human life? How do they affect him? It is these questions that the author of the text discusses.
The problem of the influence of literature and art on people's lives has existed for a long time, but it is still relevant today.
The author believes that the meaning of our communication with art, literature "is that we begin to enjoy the richness of our own personality, which suddenly opens up to us." In his opinion, "the meaning of communication with literature, art is that we become richer for one more life, for the life of the artist who created it." I cannot but agree with the position of the author, because thanks to the knowledge of art and literature, we are spiritually enriched, we learn a lot of new things for ourselves.
Examples confirming the position of the author are many works of fiction. So, the heroine of the story A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin", Tatyana Larina, after getting acquainted with the Onegin library, discovers the inner world of the hero. Pushkin showed how in Tatyana, thanks to reading, a spiritual revival takes place.
Communication with literature also influenced R. Raskolnikov, the hero of F. M. Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment". He never revealed the Gospel, but even an unread book had a strong impact on his feelings and views.

(40) If you have found the high meaning of your work and joy in its quality, can you still talk about “solid deepness” after that? (41) Life will then become a luminous thread for you. (42) And takeoff in your life is guaranteed. (43) After all, joy releases creative forces, creative forces create quality, and the quality of work causes joy from work.
(44) Look: this is how your everyday life falls into a good circle of spiritual health. (45) And now there are no more viscous everyday life for you.

One congressman once reproached Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), the President of the United States of America, that he began to defend a completely different point of view than the one he held the day before.
“You can’t change your position so quickly!” the congressman remarked sarcastically.
Why? Lincoln objected. - I generally have a low opinion of a person who today cannot become smarter than yesterday!
The famous general of the North W. Grant had many ill-wishers. Unable to cast a shadow on his military successes in the North-South Civil War, they began to whisper to Lincoln that Grant was a drunkard.
- Oh, that's how! the president exclaimed. “Then tell me what kind of wine Grant prefers, so I can order barrels sent to all my generals!”
At the beginning of the Lincoln administration, job seekers besieged the White House in droves.
The President told them:
“I can't be like a landlord who is so busy renting out rooms at one end of the building that he doesn't have time to put out the fire at the other.
General McClellan was a supporter of waiting tactics, he himself never entered into battle with parts of the southerners. Once he received a note from Lincoln: “My dear McClellan! If you don't need your army now, I would like to borrow it for a while. Sincerely, Lincoln."
McClellan replied: "Mr. President, do you take me for a fool?"
Lincoln wrote on this letter, "Of course not... But I could be wrong."
One American film company decided to make a film dedicated to the life of the English politician Winston Churchill (1874-1965). The film was supposed to show the 65-year-old Churchill. The role of Churchill was entrusted to the 85-year-old film actor Charles Clofton. Upon learning that Clofton would receive a large sum of money for the performance of his role, Churchill became angry and venomously remarked:
- Firstly, this guy is too fat, and secondly, too old. And thirdly, for that kind of money, I myself would gladly play this role.
Once, Churchill's driver lost his way and drove into no one knows where. Extremely annoyed, Churchill, leaning out of the window, called out to a passer-by:
— Excuse me, could you kindly explain where I am?
— In the car! the passer-by muttered and walked on.
“Here is an answer worthy of our House of Commons,” said Churchill, addressing the driver. - First, short and boorish. Second, it's completely unnecessary. And thirdly, it does not contain anything that the questioner would not know himself.
After becoming emperor of France, Napoleon (1769-1821) ordered his secretary to do a press review for him every morning. At the same time, Napoleon demanded that the review be done only in English and German newspapers. Several times the secretary tried to interest the emperor in materials from French newspapers, but Napoleon stopped these attempts.
“Don't bother yourself,” he said. — I know everything that is written in them. After all, they print what I want!
“Sir,” one of the high-ranking dignitaries told Napoleon, “you have completely destroyed the revolutionary spirit.
- Not true, - objected Napoleon, - I am only a bookmark in the book of the revolution on the page where it stopped. When I'm gone, the revolution will turn this page and move on.
Napoleon took care of the exact sciences and even made several scientists important government dignitaries. He made Laplace Minister of the Interior. However, after a month and a half, Laplace was relieved of this post. Deeply delving into every little thing, he overlooked the anti-government conspiracy. In the order on this occasion, Napoleon wrote: "To release for the introduction of the spirit of the infinitely small into state affairs."
When in 1814 one of the Napoleonic generals surrendered the fortress of Soissons to the Russian troops without a fight, the emperor, who always believed that “a fortress is such a machine that must work with full force to the end,” became furious. Napoleon summoned the unlucky commandant of the fortress and asked him menacingly why the fortress capitulated without firing a shot.
- Sovereign, - the general threw up his hands, - there were 18 reasons for that. First, I didn't have gunpowder...
“That reason alone is enough,” Napoleon interrupted him. - You can keep the remaining 17 reasons for yourself!
After the defeat in Russia, Napoleon in a simple sleigh raced to the West. Together with his retinue, he stopped at the Neman. The local peasant ferried the generals to the opposite bank. Napoleon, always eager to get first-hand information, asked the boatman:
— How many deserters crossed the river?
"No, you're the first," came the simple-hearted reply.
Napoleon was once pointed out to libelous verses, demanding the punishment of the author.
“If I wanted to punish someone in this case,” the emperor objected, “then, of course, you, and not the author, because you offended me much more, daring to find similarities with me in this description.
“Medicine,” said Napoleon, “teaches to kill people.
— And what can you say about the craft of the conqueror? asked the court physician.
In 1803, Napoleon received the American inventor Robert Fulton (1765-1815), who was then working in France, who suggested that he equip the French fleet with steam-powered ships - steamboats.
“With warships powered by steam, you will destroy England!” Fulton finished his report.
After listening to the inventor, Napoleon said:
“Every day they bring me projects, one more absurd than the other. Only yesterday it was proposed to me to attack the English coast with the help of cavalry mounted on tame dolphins. Go away! You are obviously one of those countless lunatics!
Eight years later, the English battleship Bellerophon, which was taking the deposed emperor to St. Helena, met at sea with the steamer Fulton, driven by steam. At high speed, the ship rushed past the English slow-moving ship.
Following the American steamer with his eyes, Napoleon said with sadness to his companion accompanying him:
“By driving the inventor Fulton out of the Tuileries, I lost my crown.
Napoleon preferred practical ideas that promised quick returns.
He did not skimp on them. Thanks to his financial support, the production of saltpeter, bronze, soda, excavators, etc. was launched in France. Not believing Fulton's ideas, he was cruelly mistaken.
August 17 marks exactly 200 years since the world's first voyage of a paddle steamer invented by Fulton. The steamer Claremont sailed from New York to Albany and back. 150 miles (241 km) in 30 hours.
The family doctor of Bismarck (1815-1898), the first Chancellor of the German Empire, often reproached him for almost never letting a cigar out of his mouth, despite the fact that smoking was bad for him.
“Don't you know, doctor, that my whole art of diplomacy lies in the ability to throw smoke in people's eyes?
Bismarck said to one of his associates:
Stupidity is a gift from God, but it should not be abused.
Exhausted by attacks of neuralgia, Bismarck called a famous doctor to him and was very surprised when he told him in detail about his illness.
- How many people did you have to send to the next world before reaching such subtleties? Bismarck asked in annoyance.
“Less than you, Your Grace, to get to the point of being so sick.
The French king Louis XIV (1638-1715) read his poems to the famous poet Nicolas Boileau (1636-1711) and asked him to express his opinion about them.
- Sovereign, - replied Boileau, - nothing is impossible for Your Majesty: you had a desire to write bad poetry, and you fulfilled it.
In the circle of his associates, Louis XIV once said:
“When I appoint someone to a high post, I have ninety-nine dissatisfied and one ungrateful.
The Egyptian king Ptolemy the First (general of Alexander the Great, founder of the royal dynasty in Hellenistic Egypt), interested in geometry, asked Euclid (c. 330 - c. 260 BC), who lived in Alexandria:
“Couldn’t it be easier to master geometry in some way?”
Euclid replied to the king:
There are no royal paths in geometry.
There are two problems that non-Jewish believers had to contend with in the first century, and although the Bible provides miraculous solutions to these problems, they still trouble many people.
What are these problems, and what help does the Bible offer us to solve them?
Problem #1: “I am a pitiful pagan! Oh, how I wish I were a Jew!”
This is a problem of low self-esteem. Unfortunately, there are non-Jews who are saddened by the identity God has given them and want to be someone else. They believed the lie that the Jewish people are somehow “better” and other peoples are second-class people. But God doesn't see it that way.
God's Answer: Ephesians
This is beautifully summarized in one verse:
“So you are no longer strangers and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” (Eph. 2:19)
If this issue of non-Jewish identity has ever bothered you, the immediate context of this verse should correct the situation and further encourage you:
“Remember, then, that you who were once Gentiles according to the flesh, who were called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcised by the circumcision of the flesh with hands, that you were at that time without Christ, alienated from the society of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise, had no hope, and were godless in the world. . And now, in Christ Jesus, you who were once far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace, who made both one and broke down the barrier that stood in the middle ... and (in order) in one body to reconcile both with God by means of the cross, killing the enmity on it ... because through Him both of them have access to the Father, in one spirit. So you are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” (Eph. 2:11-14,16,18-19)
You became “one new person” with the Jewish people, you are given the same access in the same Spirit to the same Father, thanks to the same Messiah, and you are now fellow citizens, members of God's family along with the people of Israel. You are no longer aliens, but part of the Israeli society. The separating wall that once stood in the Temple courtyard and which only Jews could pass has disappeared. Non-Jews are in no way second class, thanks to Yeshua we now have the same access to the God of Israel, the Father of us all.
Problem #2: “I replaced Israel! I am now a new Jew!”
This second problem is the opposite - it's about an inflated sense of self-worth, about the idea that Israel has been rejected and there is no more future for it, as if the Church is now all that matters. But the Bible has a wise answer to this too:
God's Answer: The Epistle to the Romans.
“Don't be proud of the branches. But if you exalt yourself, then remember that it is not you who hold the root, but the root you.” (Rom. 11:18)
This verse alone should be enough to answer non-Jews who exalt themselves over Jews, but there is more to this in Romans. In particular, it is important to understand the concept of “First to Judah” from Rom. 1:16 where Paul says: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first to the Jews, then to the Greeks.” Let's look at Rome. 1:16 in the context of the entire book of Romans.
What does “first,” to the Jews mean?
Word Firstly in the Greek original corresponds to the word proton(πρῶτον), the meaning of which we must understand in order to understand what Paul is saying here. There are a couple of ways to understand what it means Firstly, Judea: :
1. In sequence value:
Word proton can mean the first in order, that is, that the Gospel came first to the Jewish people (historically), and after that it was already distributed among non-Jews. The problem is that people mistakenly think that the Jewish people already had a chance, back in the first century, and they missed it. The rest of Romans says something completely different. This letter encourages non-Jews to remember that God has NOT abandoned the people of Israel.
2. In the meaning of features:
Word proton it can also mean the first as someone special, or outstanding ... We will argue that it is in this sense that Paul writes that the Jews are first. The gospel is intended especially and primarily for Jews, but also for non-Jews. Why should it be understood in this way, and not in the sense of sequence? Because when we read the whole book of Romans, we see that this is exactly what Paul means. In the next chapter, he uses exactly the same expression, saying that the judgment will come first to the Jews, and then to the non-Jews:
“On the contrary, glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, first to the Jews, then to the Greeks! For there is no partiality with God.” (Rom. 2:9-10)
So, the gospel, first of all, for the Jews, and then for non-Jews (Rom. 1:16). And the judgment will come, first, to the Jews, then to non-Jews (Rom. 2:9).
When we consider these two statements together, we understand that Paul is saying that the Jewish people are especially accountable to God because they have been given so many revelations and therefore they will be judged. Firstly.
Similarly, history was entrusted to the Jewish people: Paul explains in his epistle that it was the Jewish people who were entrusted Word of God, Scripture. This was their history as a people, it was through the Jewish people that the Messiah came to redeem the whole world.
In fact, Romans reminds non-Jews: “You did not take their place, therefore do not exalt yourself over your Jewish brothers and sisters!” The Messiah is a Jew according to the flesh (Rom. 1:3), Word of God given to the people of Israel (Rom. 3:2) along with the promises, Temple, glory, patriarchs, adoption, and all our redeeming blessings are Jewish (Rom. 3:1-2, 9:1-5, 11:28-29) . To Rome. 11:24 says that the root itself is Hebrew, therefore the Gospel is intended in particular ( proton) for the Jews, who are natural branches that need to be grafted back into place (Rom. 11:24). Gentiles are not natural branches that can now be grafted in, even though they are not by nature from the Jewish tree.
Romans 1 says that mankind has seen the general plan of God's salvation through nature and their conscience, so we have no excuse (Rom. 1:18-20). But the rest of the book is about how a special revelation was given to the people of Israel in particular, making them more responsible and accountable. Therefore, the Jewish people will be judged especially (proton). In the same way, we understand that Paul says that the gospel in particular and in particular (proton) for the Jewish people, because for them the foundation has already been laid, the road has already been laid ... But now the gospel also And likewise for non-Jews. The path is open to all.
So what does this mean for us today?
These biblical principles should influence how we are going to carry out the Great Commission.
The Church must strive to remember that historically, contextually and covenantally, the gospel was and always will be especially and above all for the Jewish people, because it is very Jewish!
The “replacement theology”, according to which the Church has taken the place of Israel, is sinful, and not only because of the exaltation of the Jewish people, as the Bible warns us about, but also because of the wrong, not according to Romans 1:16, understanding of the Great Commission. Today the gospel is for the Jewish people, and more so than ever before. Our task is to boldly and joyfully accept the truth that the gospel is a power to salvation, especially for Jews, and equally for non-Jews.

Romans 11 says that non-Jews can be included and grafted in the same way, along with Israel. Ephesians shows how gentile believers are welcomed into their new home like never before, and that they are now warmly invited to join as part of the family. A red carpet has been laid out for the nations to join the heritage of Israel and be adopted into a home that was not their own. In the same way, when we share the gospel with the Jewish people, we are not asking them to leave the faith of their Fathers, we are inviting them to return home.
According to the BDAG (Bauer-Danker) dictionary, the word "proton" can mean either first in sequence or in importance.
