"You Have Not Known Me" Sermon

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the dialogue between Christ and His disciples before the crucifixion, focusing on knowing God the Father through Jesus Christ. He explains how relationship with God is prioritized over mere knowledge, highlighting the importance of living faith rather than intellectual understanding alone. Fr. Matthias emphasizes that God values actions over words, eternal perspective over temporal concerns, innocence over sophistication, obedience over self-defined service, and mercy over judgment. Drawing from scripture, he challenges viewers to reflect on their own faith practices and urges a deeper trust in God’s plan. The sermon addresses the struggle to live according to God’s will amid worldly conditioning and invites believers to cultivate an authentic relationship with God rooted in faith, action, and forgiveness.
