He is the Light of the World
May 18, 2025 • Fr Seraphim Saleeb
This sermon emphasizes Jesus Christ as the "Light of the World" and the fulfillment of the prophecy of the "Sun of Righteousness" from the book of Malachi. The speaker explains that just as physical light is essential for vision, knowledge, wisdom, and discernment—allowing us to distinguish good from evil—spiritual light is vital for eternal life. The text contrasts spiritual sight, which the wise possess, with spiritual blindness, which scripture attributes to the foolish or sinful. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to recognize the profound importance of Christ as spiritual light in their lives, just as they rely on physical daylight for daily functions, so that they "should not abide in darkness."
