Title: Look at the Stars

Contents

Sermon Date: 2005/08/21

Location: Chodong Church

 

Not long ago, in the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up to the sound of ‘Look at the stars,’ and the words ‘The Magi saw the stars’ came to mind, so I got up and read Matthew 2:1-12. The word ‘star’ appears four times in the text. ‘I saw the early star’, ‘When did the star appear?’, ‘The star stayed on the place where Jesus was born’, ‘When he saw the star, he rejoiced and rejoiced greatly’

 

Seeing the stars in the night sky, people write and sing, and caravans in the desert find the right path. Even if the night is dark, those who see the stars are not alone. Jacob saw the stars in the Valley of Bethel and received a revelation from God. The star is the lonely gilson's friend, guide, and angel of comfort. But recently, when I looked at the photos sent by the astronauts from the moon and stars, it was a dead object made of dirt and stones, and the starlight was not the light from the stars, but the light reflected by the sun. The sun's light is not primordial either.

 

Before God created the sun and the moon, on the first day of creation, God said, “Let there be light.” According to the Bible, Jehovah is the light (Psalm 27:1, John 1:1-2). Just as we know through astronauts that the starlight is the light that the sun shines on, it is to human existence that human beings became the lord of all things that cannot be changed even if given the world through the light of life of God, who is the source of light. This is the first awareness of This is heavenly harmony.

 

Second, the question 'When did the stars appear?' is a question that Herod the Great asked. A celestial event is taking place right before his eyes, and he is an idiot who asks when the star appeared. It is night when the stars appear. The time Herod asked was when the thousand-year history of the Roman Empire was in decline, and the reign of Herod the Great was shaken. When he learned of the birth of Jesus late, he killed all babies under the age of two in anger. But in the end, he too was destroyed, and his kingdom was destroyed after less than 50 years. It is also dark night for us today. People who only dig into the ground do not know the time of their own destruction, whether it is an individual or a nation. Neither the Kingdom of Herod nor the Roman Empire, any human being, any empire, everything on the earth will fall. However, those who live only by looking at the land do not know that God is the navigator of this ship that carries the fate of humans and history. This is the misery of the people who live on the earth.

 

Third, it is said that the star stayed above the inn in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The writer of the Gospel of Matthew reveals the identity of why he talked about the stars here. From above, the truth of walking in parallel lines between heaven and earth, light and darkness, eternity and time, perishing and immortality, and those eternally opposed to each other is explained in both positive and negative ways, and here in Jesus Christ, unity ) is connected with This story is a message from heaven to pay attention to the history of the earth and the earth that was on the verge of destruction, the only Son Jesus sent by God to revive the people of the earth, as a stepping stone to salvation that connected heaven and earth, and the sound of the trumpet of an angel in heaven. . This composition is developed by tying the three elements of heaven and earth, which are the roots of Eastern philosophy and the logic of unity of Western history and philosophy, into one in Jesus as the three elements of heaven and earth. will be Now, the focus of the universe, all things, and man is on Jesus.

 

Transmitting light through Jesus is like the ozone layer between us and the sun blocking the light so that people can receive the sun's light. There must be a mediator between God and man so that man can know and see God, and Jesus is that mediator. So Christianity testifies to the truth that only through Jesus can we know God, learn, and communicate with God. Among them, man must become a disciple of Jesus and change into a messenger of light. To become a believer is to fill the body and mind with the light of heaven and become a missionary of light to illuminate that light. As disciples who follow Jesus, we must strive to believe in Jesus in the very place where we live and work.

 

Lastly, the phrase ‘he saw the stars and rejoiced greatly’ is the epilogue of the story of the Magi. Athletes who run with a guaranteed first place are filled with joy no matter how difficult the road is, and pregnant women who sweat hard after labor have a smile on their faces happy with the birth of Ok Dong-ja. We are already guaranteed victory. Even if the world is full of worries, worries, disappointments, and despair, let's go forward as we sing the march of the missionaries and members. We want to further promote the march of our faith as missionaries of the light until the 60th and 70th anniversary, no, until the Lord comes.
