Christ Is Born | The Sunday After Nativity: St. Joseph, King David & St. James

About this sermon

Christ is born. Glorify Him. In this powerful Orthodox Christian homily for the Sunday following the Feast of the Nativity, we commemorate St. Joseph the Betrothed, King David, and St. James the Brother of the Lord—three pillars in the genealogy, protection, and governance of the early Church. This sermon reflects deeply on: The mystery of the Incarnation The lineage of Christ through King David The obedience and humility of St. Joseph The apostolic authority of St. James, first Bishop of Jerusalem The Orthodox understanding that Truth is not an idea, but a Person—Jesus Christ Drawing from Holy Scripture, St. Paul, and St. Athanasius, this homily reminds us that divine truth is not grasped merely by intellect, but through the purification of the heart. As Christ entered the world in humility and exile, so He seeks a dwelling place today in the quiet manger of every human heart. As we enter the New Year, may we pray for purity of heart, humility, and transformation, that we may truly know Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 📖 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8) 00:00 – Opening Prayer & Greeting 00:14 – Christ Is Born, Glorify Him 00:21 – The Sunday After Nativity Explained 00:39 – King David: Shepherd, King, Ancestor of Christ 01:17 – St. Joseph the Betrothed: Guardian of Christ 01:56 – St. James the Brother of the Lord 02:23 – The Mystery of God Entering Human History 02:45 – St. Paul on Revelation and Truth 03:03 – Truth Is Not a Concept, but a Person 03:37 – How Do We Know the Truth of God? 03:59 – Purity of Heart and Seeing God 04:06 – St. Athanasius on Scripture and Virtue 04:39 – Transformation of the Mind (Romans) 04:55 – The Nativity as Divine Revelation 05:29 – Christ’s Exile and the World’s Rejection 05:59 – The Quiet Manger of the Human Heart 06:12 – Closing Exhortation and Prayer 06:40 – Christ Is Born, Glorified For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@st.johnchrysostombyzantine2197 & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
