Sunday Service Report by Archbishop Amin Gill of Jehovah Saints Church

On this holy day, Archbishop Amin Gill of the Jehovah Saints Church, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, led a spiritually uplifting Sunday service at Chak No. 297 JB. The focus of the sermon was on the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 19, Verses 16 to 22, a passage that challenges us to reflect on our priorities and commitment to God.

Key Scripture: Matthew 19:16-22

The Archbishop expounded on the following passage:

"And behold, a man came up to him, saying, ‘Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?’ And he said to him, ‘Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.’ He said to him, ‘Which ones?’ And Jesus said, ‘You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ The young man said to him, ‘All these I have kept. What do I still lack?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.’ When the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.” (Matthew 19:16-22, ESV)

Key Points from the Sermon

1. The Quest for Eternal Life

   Archbishop Amin Gill emphasized that eternal life is not earned through mere deeds but through a heart fully surrendered to God. Jesus calls us to go beyond external obedience and embrace a life of sacrifice and faith.

   • John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’"

2. The Challenge of Wealth

   The Archbishop reflected on the rich young man’s sorrow, highlighting how material possessions can become a hindrance to spiritual growth. True discipleship demands prioritizing God above all else.

   • 1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."

3. A Call to Generosity

   The congregation was encouraged to adopt a lifestyle of generosity, helping the poor and needy as a testimony of their faith and obedience to Christ.

   • Proverbs 11:25: "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered."

4. Following Christ Wholeheartedly

   The Archbishop reminded the congregation that following Jesus requires leaving behind anything that competes with our devotion to Him.

   • Luke 9:23: "And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’"

Closing Prayer

Archbishop Amin Gill concluded the service with a heartfelt prayer, asking Jehovah to strengthen the congregation in their walk of faith and to help them overcome any obstacles that hinder their relationship with Him.
