The sermon “I have placed an open door before you, and God opens and no one can close it” by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III addresses the importance of adhering to God’s will in our lives, as Pope Shenouda teaches us that God is the one who opens and closes doors according to His will and wisdom. Pope Shenouda cites stories from the Bible to illustrate how God can open the doors of blessing, provision, and salvation for those who walk according to His will, and that no force or human can close these doors when God decides to open them. He also urges faith and trust in God in all circumstances, affirming that the Lord always opens new opportunities for us, even when we face challenges.
