Title: Evangelism is complete.
Sermon place: Ansan Sujeong Church (1018)
# What is completion?
Today's Word of God with the title of “Evangelism is completion”! Let me prove it.
Since Korea is the descendant of Jumong, archery is the number one in the world, right? By the way, when archers are training, when the training was completed, it is said that when the water does not shake at all, even if you put a cup full of water on the arm that has been pulling the bow like this, the water is not shaken at all. can.
After we have received Jesus Christ as our Savior, we are living a life of faith. However, when God sees that we are complete as saints, when we begin to evangelize! When we understand our father's heart and set out to find our lost brother! At that time, "Ah~ Now it's finished! Ah, now it is.” He said.
# body summary
Jesus selected 12 disciples and trained together for three years. And, what did you say when the last Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven? “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father! John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit in a few days!! But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth!”
After saying these words, he ascends to heaven in front of our eyes.
“Do not leave Jerusalem until you receive the Holy Spirit~” “Receive the Holy Spirit!!”
“After receiving the Holy Spirit, do not stay in Jerusalem.”
“After receiving the Holy Spirit, go to the ends of the earth and testify of this gospel~ Become a witness!!” These were the last words of Jesus.
Everyone! Jesus' disciples trained with Jesus for 3 years. By the way, when will they be perfected as disciple-like disciples? When we receive the power of the Holy Spirit promised by our Father and become a witness of Jesus to the ends of the earth! Only then will the disciples of Jesus be complete.
So, evangelism is complete. ‘Evangelism is complete.’
So, today in particular, “What is evangelism?” I would like to briefly talk about “What is evangelism?”
# It is to relieve the pain of God.
1. First, evangelism is to relieve God's pain.
After God created the Garden of Eden and created Adam and Eve, he said, “You will live happily here forever with me!” It was. But one day, the devil comes and seduces Adam and Eve, the children of God, and takes them away. God loves him so much, but one morning he was deceived by the devil and ran away from home.
Since then, God has been merciful. When I think of the children who have left home, I become Han, then Won, Won, becomes Han...
So, after doing so, you and I were saved today by sending his only and only Son, Jesus Christ, to bear our sins and die for us, right? So, are you here?
Then, why does Jesus have to die to be saved today? What if Jesus didn't die?
What did God say to Adam and Eve? “On the day you eat the fruit, you are sentenced to three years in prison.” “On the day you eat the fruit, the fine is one million won.” He did not.
what? “In the day that you eat of the forbidden fruit, you will surely die!”
So, if the fine is 1 million won, you pay 1 million won, and if you say 3 years in prison, it ends after 3 years in prison. Somebody has to die so we can live. Oh, if he had died, would God have saved us by letting his beloved and only Son die in our place?
This is God’s “han”. “God’s Han!!”
“My children have been stolen by the devil! I'll have to find them all again.." It's God's wrath.
So, what is evangelism? It is God's solution to bring back the soul that was stolen by the devil to God. Evangelism is to relieve the pain of God.
Everyone! If there is a problem, it must be released.
If you don't solve the problem... it doesn't go away with the passage of time, it's just piled up.
Everyone! This will make it easier for you to understand. Korea can lose soccer to other countries, but not where? Japan! (Everyone, you know?)
So, we believe that Japan is “Dokdo is Japanese territory!” Then it gets hot. What's wrong? It's because you're bitter and resentful.
Last time, for a long time, Japan said, “Dokdo is our land!” It was said that something like this happened in Busan. It's not even what you see there, but I made a very large Advalon to see in Japan and made it very high. And, what was written on it in a very big way, “Dokdo is Japanese territory! Japan is Korean land!”
So, Han has to be released. You must release it.
Last year or summer, after a long time in the legendary hometown, I watched it as a way to pass the time. What is the title of [Yellow Woman]
A very pretty girl lived in a village in Gyeongsang-do. So I met a good man and got married, and there was a man in that town who loved this woman very much. I miss her so much that I'm going crazy.
It was one rainy night. The pretty woman was walking along a mountain road with her husband when a man in a mask suddenly appeared, killed him and ran away. And then, they couldn't catch the culprit. And, the funeral was over. After the funeral, the woman lives alone, and the man proposes. Yes, he eventually makes that woman his wife.
After living together as a couple for decades, now it's almost time to die. What summer! It's a rainy day! Two old couples talking to each other while reminiscing about the past. “Honey, it was such a rainy day like today. Actually, I loved you so much that I killed your husband. I did it because I loved you like crazy.”
Then my wife listened to it calmly and said, “Honey, I lived with you because I wanted to hear that confession. I also knew to some extent. Okay, but I've been waiting for you to confess. It’s all in the past.”
“By the way, where did you hide the knife that killed my husband then?” Then he said, “There is a rock next to the place where he killed him, and he dug a hole next to it and hid it.”
And, when the next day dawns, I go to the government house and accuse my husband. So they are caught and sentenced to death.
After being executed and burial, that night this woman commits suicide in the tomb.
So, the people of the village erected a stone monument there, saying, ‘I was a yeolnyeo to my ex-husband and a bad yeolnyeo to my later husband. This story is in Gyeongsangnam-do...
Han is something that must be released. Han!
Everyone! Evangelism is the blessing of God, the King of kings. It is the heartache of God, who is our Father, for the rest of our lives.
Just thinking of my son who left home makes my heart explode.
That is why we must do evangelism to relieve our Heavenly Father's pain.
# Evangelism is church love!
2. Second, why is evangelism complete? Evangelism is the love of the church.
And, the love of the church is ‘the love of Jesus’. why? Who is the head of the church? Jesus. Because Jesus is the head of the church, the church is the body of Jesus. That is, evangelism is “to love the church,” and ultimately, to love Jesus.
One of the many hymns we sing is this hymn.
‘I love my Savior Jesus more. My true wish (what?) is to love my Savior Jesus more! More love!’
Everyone! What is our wish, if any? My wish is to love the Lord more and more every day.
Then, to love the Lord, how do you love the Lord?
"Lord! Will you come by my side once? I'll make you a dress." "Lord! will you come I will serve you a meal.”
Isn't that what we can't do!?
Everyone! To love the Lord, to love the church is to love our Lord.
So, what does it mean to love the church? The goal is to help the church grow and revive every day and keep the church healthy.
In that sense, there is nothing that loves the church and loves the Lord as much as evangelism.
The church must continue to be healthy, revitalized, developed and grown. Just as a child who does not grow is sick, there is something wrong with a church that does not grow.
I hope that our church will grow well every day through you today. We pray that the church will become a church where quantitative growth and qualitative maturity are achieved.
