In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler, focusing on how Christ expresses His love during their conversation. Fr. Matthias explains that Jesus gives the man His undivided attention, reveals his heart’s true condition, and calls him to follow God's commandments as a form of protection and guidance. He emphasizes how Christ invites us into His ministry, empowers us to do what is impossible by ourselves through the Holy Spirit, and promises a great eternal reward for faithfulness.
Fr. Matthias also highlights the reversal of social order in God’s kingdom, where the first will be last and the last first, assuring that ultimate justice comes from God. Throughout the message, the rich young ruler’s story illustrates the reality of spiritual attachment, the challenge of surrender, and the depth of divine love available to all believers.
