Title: Oil press (Gethsemane)/Matt 26:36~40
Content 36 Then Jesus and his disciples came to a place called Gethsemane.
He said to his disciples, "While I go over there and pray,
you say sit here
37 When he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he was troubled and mourned.
38 And he said to them, My heart was greatly troubled, and I died.
Stay here and stay awake with me.
39 Going a little further, with his face to the ground, he fell on his face and prayed, saying,
My father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.
But not as I will, but as you will.”
40 When he came to the disciples, and saw him sleeping, he said to Peter,
Couldn't you stay awake like this for an hour with me?
(Matthew 26:36-40)
The God who made March 20, 2005 live
Thank you for giving us today's blessing and for allowing us to live with hope.
We live a finite life
Praise God for making us the hero of eternity through faith in Jesus.
to pay the wages of sin, death
Remembering Jesus who suffered on the cross
Today is the first day of Holy Week, Palm Sunday.
Just like the people who shouted Hosanna, driven by human greed and crowd psychology.
I hope that our worship service today will not become an immature praise and meaningless sound.
God, forgive us our transgressions and sins.
Give me the faith and courage to live according to the will of God.
Give me the patience to keep that faith and live.
The world grabs us and shakes us
Help me to be "steadfast and unshakable" victors in the faith.
I pray for those who were not able to be with this precious, this blessed, and this good place.
Saints who are in the military, abroad, abroad,
Patients lying in bed... Keep them in peace wherever they are.
God, in this precious time, Your authority, Your power,
Please allow the time for God's love and blessings to come.
We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit. I believe in the power of God.
May there be grace, there may be healing, and may there be worship full of blessings.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
Hallelujah!
Last week I led a revival meeting in Ganghwa.
Ganghwa is a place where I was born but did not grow up, and I go there once in a while.
So I didn't feel special, but this time I was leading a revival meeting.
While talking with the locals, they say, "Hello, we ate."
A new reinforced dialect has been heard.
So, I asked him about the background that led him to use the reinforced dialect.
I'm not sure if the answer you gave me is correct,
It is said that there were many yangbans who came from exile in Ganghwa.
A yangban is a yangban, but since he has been exiled, he speaks respectfully,
It's not comfortable to even say half
It is said that they came to use [Kya?] [Sida], which is neither respectful nor half-spoken.
"Hello, are you healthy? - You are healthy. / Did you eat breakfast? - We ate.
What did you eat? - We ate turnips."
Greet the people next to you in a reinforced dialect. "Welcome. Be blessed~"
Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of the last week of Lent.
The word commonly used on Palm Sunday is “Hosannah”.
Let's do it together. Hosanna! Hosan~ Me!
