Title: Glory to God, Happiness to Neighbors
Content Glory to God, happiness to neighbors (Matthew 22:37-40)
Today is the day Seomun Church holds the 100th anniversary thanksgiving service. We, Seomun Church, celebrating the 100th anniversary of its establishment, forget all that has passed and do not think that we have yet grasped it, but should run towards the goal, looking at the reward of the calling. (Philippians 3:13-14) We must look at a certain goal and receive the reward of the calling. Should I look and run? If you summarize and summarize the Old Testament, you will find the Ten Commandments. These ten commandments require two kinds of love: love of God and love of neighbor. If the New Testament is also summarized and summarized, it becomes today's text to love God first and secondly love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-40) Ultimately, if we can summarize the Bible in one word, it is the love of God and love of neighbor. will be. I expressed this saying, “Love God and love your neighbor” with the slogan “Glory to God and happiness to your neighbor.”
If I could describe Christianity in one word, it would be love. This love is loving God on the top and loving my neighbor on the other side. When these two loves are balanced and harmonized, there will be a perfect love, a mature Christian, and a mature church. On the top of the bell tower of our Seomun Church, the large letters “Glory to God, happiness to our neighbors” are written just below the cross. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its establishment, Daegu Seomun Church has set a milestone as a church that gives glory to God and happiness to neighbors, and I bless you in the name of Jesus that you can run vigorously toward the new 100 years.
