Harmony of the Gospels [The Last Judgement & Holy Wednesday]

In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the harmony of the Gospels by examining Christ’s teaching on the Last Judgment found in Matthew 25. He explains the significance of Christ’s second coming as judge, the separation of the sheep from the goats, and the individual nature of divine judgment based on faith and repentance rather than deeds alone. Fr. Matthias discusses the necessity of baptism, confession, and communion for salvation and addresses common misunderstandings about faith and works. Moving into Holy Wednesday, Fr. Matthias highlights the anointing of Christ with costly oil as preparation for His burial and connects this to His impending betrayal by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. The study includes reflections on serving others as serving Christ, the spiritual challenges faced even by those close to Jesus, and the deeper theological meaning behind these pivotal events in Holy Week
