The Work of God vs the devil
Oct 26, 2025 • Fr Seraphim Saleeb
This sermon uses a passage from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus heals a man who is demon-possessed, blind, and mute, to contrast the works of the devil and the works of God. The speaker explains that the devil's work is characterized by blindness and muteness, which are likened to an "infinite prison of darkness" and the inability to communicate or function, leading to a complete cessation of life. In stark contrast, God's work, exemplified by Christ's healing, is defined as restoration and liberty, moving individuals from darkness to light and from the slavery of corruption to the glorious freedom of God's children. The source emphasizes that freedom is the central theme, being the commandment of the Father, the work of the Son, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, urging listeners to embrace Christ, the ultimate liberator.
