Listen "Carrying the Cross"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon delivered on June 1st, which is the Coptic feast day commemorating Christ's entry into Egypt, centers on the significance of the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by Herod. The speaker draws three key lessons from the actions of the Bethlehem children, emphasizing the notion of unconditional love by noting that the children "carried the cross for him" before Christ sacrificed himself for them. The second message suggests that silence can be a more powerful testimony for Christ than eloquent words, especially when surrounded by negativity or "works of darkness." Finally, the sermon warns about the third lesson: that an innocent person might pay the price for others' foolishness or rash actions, urging listeners to be "swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath" to avoid causing harm.
