No Chance After Death – The Truth About Judgment, Death & the Just Judge: Pope Shenouda III - English Sermons

Are you ready to stand before the Just Judge?

Are you ready to give an account for every word, every thought, every intention?

In this powerful sermon, Pope Shenouda III, former Coptic Orthodox Pope and one of the most revered voices in modern Christian history—known by many as "the Golden Mouth"—speaks about one of the most critical themes of all spiritual life:

Death and Judgment.

🕯️ While we love to speak of God's love… His mercy… and His forgiveness…

There’s another attribute of God that cannot be ignored:

God the Righteous Judge.

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)

"Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward." (Luke 16:2)

📌 Why Should You Reflect on Death and Judgment?

Because in today’s world, death no longer has an age.

A child may die before the elder.

The rich may perish in the height of their success.

So many are distracted by pleasure, work, or entertainment, unaware that eternity draws near.

Remember the parable of the rich fool:

“You have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”

But God said to him:

“You fool! This night your soul will be required of you.” (Luke 12:20)

📖 Death Reveals. Judgment Evaluates.

In that hour:

The books are opened

The works are exposed

The thoughts are examined

There is no escape, no mediator, unless you’ve lived in true repentance.

✝️ How Can You Prepare for Death and Judgment?

1️⃣ Examine Yourself Daily:

2️⃣ Live in Ongoing Repentance:

3️⃣ Pursue Holiness on Earth to Live it in Heaven:

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
