Seeking the Divine, Not the Material: Insights from Archbishop Christophoros of Jordan

In this video, Archbishop Christophoros of Jordan reflects on the divine purpose of humanity as created in the image and likeness of God. Let us explore the profound meaning behind our existence — to become saints and children of the Heavenly Kingdom. Through the redemptive sacrifice and resurrection of Christ, death was conquered, and immortality was restored. The gospel echoes the timeless truth that our earthly existence is but a transient exile. The temporal world is not our own; our true home is the Kingdom of God. Let us discover the significance of our earthly existence as an exile, as we long for and seek to rekindle our fellowship with God and live in harmony with His divine plan. This is a sermon recorded in November 14th, 2021 by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese – Amman – Jordan, 5th Sunday of Luke -The Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). #DivinePurpose #TranscendingMaterialism This video has English and Romanian subtitles.
