"The Works of God Should Be Revealed in Him"

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the story of the man born blind, emphasizing that suffering and challenges are not always a result of sin but serve a greater purpose to reveal the works of God. He explains that God’s glory is the ultimate reason behind our lives, actions, miracles, and even suffering, drawing from scripture examples such as the Israelites, Christ’s crucifixion, and answered prayers. Fr. Matthias encourages viewers to understand their creation’s purpose is to glorify God, not to seek personal comfort or earthly success. He highlights how faithful living, forgiveness, and trusting God in trials manifest His glory and impact others. This teaching calls for a shift in perspective, inviting believers to align every action with glorifying God, even when the outcome seems like defeat rather than victory. The message concludes with a reminder of eternal worship and the deeper meaning behind life’s hardships.
