Title: Raise the Lamp! /Mark 4:21-23
Raise the content light!
Mark 4:21-23
Ex] When I was young, there was no electricity
By adding oil to the bonfire and hoya and raising the wick...
But once every few sevens, my heart is pounding
I have to go to the market to buy oil, but I hate going to the market.
Sometimes I have to go at night...
Even at the time of Jesus, there was no electricity, so...
No matter which family you go to, you have all the lights = You have a sermon with these lights.
Emphasize that the lamp can only play the role of a lamp when it is in its proper position.
He said that you should not put your back under a horse or on the floor...
mean?
A word or two of grain...that's it = even if...
Sometimes this covers the lamp used to extinguish the lamp.
[Even if you blow with all your might to put out the fire in Hoya = Brother = Mom = Father...]
Normal = refers to the bed
No one puts their backs on or under the bed...
the Lord said this
The back is Jesus, who lights up the darkness with 眞理, you...
They say we have to put our backs in place and we have to do this
When this doesn't work, the light is covered with a cloth.
♣ 眞理 is what is predestined to be shown
Truth is not destined to be hidden, but to be shown...
And opening the lid of truth through the Old Testament.
No matter where you look in the Old Testament, Jesus continues to open the lid of the truth.
So this is what the prophets continue to say to the people...
I can't stand it without sharing this truth, so I'm dying...
A wise man like Isaiah was sawed to death because of this...
Jeremiah was... thrown into a well = captive = beaten...
◈ When you speak the truth, which is a lamp, it is hard
[Length of persecution, hardship, suffering] = The truth can come quickly...
As a result, he refuses to pray for good fortune even though he says he is a saint...
That's why people go to church and fight at home rather than [take a religious vacation for a while..]
Living like this will make you feel at ease..[Family, family, friends, and heterosexual relationships]
But this is not the true Christian image.
A true Christian faces into the world to detonate the atomic bomb that is the truth [Jesus].
Ex] Martin Luther = to reveal indulgences for the first time...
Indulgences (免罪符) are a sign of forgiveness that everyone can buy and pay for
An explanation of indulgences...to expose the false doctrines of Catholicism...
A church called “The Church of All Saints” in the city of Wittenberg... = close relationship with the university.
Posting of university thesis, announcement, and academic matters on the bulletin board at the main entrance of the church = none elsewhere
95 items are also written on this bulletin board...
When? = Thousands of people greeted each other as ‘All Saints’ Day’ on November 1 = That day…
If Martin Luther was prudent, what would the 95 clauses be? No~
If you want safety, please post it on the front door of the church.
However, he threw himself down for the truth...
What does the truth require of us in our life course today?
If you know this, then that person does not know who the Lord is.
Today the truth requires us to turn our backs on...
We must put our backs on the truth
However, it is a precious item that should not be hidden in order to obtain sublime safety.
Already through us the back is scheduled to be raised...
So please don't cover up this precious thing with words...
♣ 基督敎 means to show
What is Christianity? = People who believe in Jesus...
In the early church, becoming a Christian meant death...
As soon as you say "I believe in Jesus"...
Ex] The blind on the Sabbath, mud in their eyes = Siloam...
The Pharisees... protested = even to their parents, but they said they didn't know...
John 9:22 “For this is what his parents say, that anyone who is a Jew who confesses that Jesus is the Christ
Because I decided to go out of school, I was afraid of them.”
The disciples were martyred because of %.
The suffering of the saints in the early church was great..
Ex] At that time, the Roman Empire was the strongest
I can't live without being united with the Roman Empire...trade...but in order to unite with Rome
Start with the emperor worship...The emperor is the personification and personification of the nation, worshiping as a god...
A sacrifice to the emperor's deity on a set day. This was [considered political allegiance..]
When the service is over, you will receive a certificate = When you receive the certificate, you will leave and worship the god you serve.
Submit a petition at the time of worship.
“With Aias and Hera, who lived in the village of Theradelphia, from Inareus Archeus of the village of Deoknis.
We regularly offer sacrifices to the gods to those appointed to administer the sacrifices,
Today, I made a sacrifice in front of you according to the regulations, poured out the spirits, and tasted the sacred thing.
So we want you to give us a certificate that we did it.
Then the certificate
“Our Hermas proves your sacrifice.”
This certificate will soon be linked to your life...
This is no exception for Christians.
The emperor's cult is a ruse to eradicate Christians
Therefore, in order for them to live in Rome and to trade,
First we worship the emperor's god, and then we worship God...
So forced... I couldn't resist the coercion, and I couldn't resist their demands...
Aren't these people around us?
Ex] My sister is a cosmetics business...
Going to church, I met a lot of people...but that's okay.
To Buddhists, I say I am also a buddhist. When I go to a Confucian house, I too...
Hallelujah in the house where you believe in Jesus, I also go to church...
Such a person is now a Kwonsa...
How is this word only for that person?
This person could be you right now.
If you have this kind of faith, you must die. I must die anyway...
Why did the saints have to die at that time?
Stoned, slashed, burned, beheaded, crucified...
Because they could not hide the truth, they chose death before persecution...
Truth can be destroyed by you... Deny... Hide...
Destroyed by one person, denied, it can be hidden
But! Truth can never be hidden or destroyed...
Why?
22 “Nothing is hidden unless it is revealed; nothing is hidden unless it is revealed.
There is nothing!”
You can never be happy if the secret to be known is rejected
I have to reveal the secret of the truth, but if it is hidden within me
Will the Holy Spirit who dwells within me rejoice?
Therefore, the loss of raising the lamp = loss of happiness...
May you all live a happy life...? Then light up the lamp...
