Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the theme of spiritual blindness by examining Christ’s rebuke of the Pharisees as “blind guides” who failed to recognize their own wickedness and spiritual darkness. He explains how everyone is born into spiritual darkness and must be led into the light by Christ, who reveals the truth about God and ourselves.
Fr. Matthias details the process of spiritual healing, beginning with seeing the truth about God and oneself, then understanding and applying this knowledge, followed by turning away from sin despite the pain involved, leading to true healing. He emphasizes that faith in Christ, who is the light of the world, requires a willingness to change and grow in holiness.
The sermon challenges believers to confront their own blindness, to reject judgment of others, and to actively seek and walk in the light of Christ. It stresses the urgency of this choice before hearts harden, urging sincere self-examination and spiritual renewal.
