Sunday of The Paralytic-The power of the Only Physician

In this bilingual sermon (Greek and English) Fr. Alexandros Pretorian helps us to understand the significance of our Lord's teaching on the Sunday of the Paralytic; the fourth Sunday of Pascha (Easter) in the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is part of the 50-day celebration leading up to Pentecost, during which the Church focuses on the divinity, miracles, and saving power of Jesus Christ. The day takes its name and central theme from the Gospel account of Christ healing the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda. Christ as the Only Physician: The feast highlights that Christ does not need a pool, an angel, or human intervention to save. He is the ultimate Physician of souls and bodies, whose voice alone carries the power to heal and restore life.
