Title: Religion that sees dreams
Contents
… … … Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for sure, that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
(Acts 2:17-36)
The person who is most desperately needed in our society today is someone who shows us the dream of tomorrow. When an era reaches a dead end, the driving force behind the power to build that era and create a new era is the dream of those who have the vision and the few who see it.
First, they dream that this old history is always going to ruin as it is being judged. To the person who has seen the dream of tomorrow, it is clearly visible that reality is an obstacle to the realization of that dream, and that the obstacle is not standing permanently as it is, but is breaking down. What we can say with the same boldness today is the fact that any kingdom that is not Christ-centered and not the kingdom of God is falling apart and falling apart. Unless Christ is the master and life, and is not an organization that is constantly renewed internally, it is a clear fact that it is a force that is decaying and falling apart. Even if this secular order, that is, a political order, an economic order, or an educational system, is not an organization that is based on the true religious life and is constantly renewed in the light of the heart of Christ, it will soon be rotting away. is.
We do not know how many revolutionary slogans, such as the human revolution, the eradication of corruption and injustice, the political purification movement, the reconstruction movement, the new life movement, etc. As for the slogan appearing in , you hear the slogan to eradicate corrupt politics from their mouths, who were also expelled for being corrupt, and you see the fact that the ruling party is once again promising to eradicate corruption. When things, societies, organizations, institutions, and anything else decay, they will fall, and if they decay, they will die. However, we do not find anything that has a core that will not rot, and that grows and becomes new every year. Indeed, as this secular order is rotting and falling apart today, and this secular thought and current becoming obsolete and declining, it is a reminder that the great and glorious day of the Lord is imminent, in other words, that the dream that we Christians see is coming true. It is a sign of proof.
No matter how unfavorable and helpless we may seem today, if we thoroughly engage in Christ-centered economic movements and thoroughly Christ-centered political movements, in other words, if God is with us, tomorrow's protagonist will put us aside, There cannot be a group. If we are completely on God's side in Christ, all the sovereignty of the world is already in our hands.
In the future, as we become an industrial society dominated by machine civilization, everything seems to be only with systems, organizations, machines, and technology, but that is not enough. . So, we must show this dream that the way for human beings to live is to add faith on top of all of them.
When this is really the case and when God's sovereignty is fully and satisfactorily exercised in all secular order, it will be okay even in a world where the Christian Church has disappeared. But we Christians should be able to wait and see that day and that time and give that vision to this society and this people.
