FROM HEALING TO WHOLENESS:  THE TRUE MISSION OF CHRIST
This Sunday’s message at St. Sarkis Church bridges the sacred space between Ascension and Pentecost — a time of reflection on Christ's eternal mission and His followers' identity. Drawing from the Feast of the Ascension and the tradition of "Second Palm Sunday," the sermon invites us to consider why Jesus, after the Resurrection, ceased performing miracles and what that tells us about the true meaning of healing, wholeness, and God's purpose for us.
Rooted in 1 John 5, the message challenges us to reframe our understanding of eternal life, not as a distant hope but as a present reality that shapes our daily living. It explores the will of God not as a fixed answer to specific choices but as a dynamic invitation to discover who we are and what gifts we are meant to offer the world. Through the simplicity of the prayer, “God, show me the way,” we are invited to align ourselves with the Spirit and prepare for the indwelling presence of God at Pentecost.
