Title: Resurrection is not a commemoration
Resurrection is not a memorial."
April 3, 2010 (Sat) Easter Field Service (Garden Tomb), Tel Aviv Joppa Church
Acts 2:32
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord who has triumphed over the resurrection!
Did you sleep well yesterday? I almost sleep well, but I didn't sleep well. Because of the snake preparation. If you look at the weekly bulletin, it is the fourth in the Lord's Prayer series. It was prepared under the title 'Hallowed be your name'. I prepared it in connection with the resurrection of Jesus and sent all the manuscripts to Deacon Jeong Hwang-il.
But again, I prepared for the sermon. Since it is a series of the Lord's Prayer, the content is deep. That's why it's long. The problem is that we worship outdoors, but we can't concentrate that much outdoors... So, after thinking about it, I prepared the sermon again.
So, today, I will deliver a sermon with a newly prepared sermon titled, "The Resurrection is not a Memorial."
April is often called the cruel month. Why is April a cruel month? It is said that this is because Eliot called April the cruelest month in his poem “The Wasteland”. But in reality, for some people, April seems like a really cruel month.
This is typical of old bachelors and old virgins, and for them, April is a cruel month. because? The wedding season is starting in earnest. Still, it was less bitter in winter because there were few weddings, but now that it's April, when flowers are blooming, there's a lot of talk about getting married here and there.
Besides, people around me say, ‘When are you going to get married, what have you been doing since you were that age, and you don’t even have a girlfriend? All of my classmates are getting married and now my juniors are coming in. These juniors don't even know their heart, and they tell me to come to the wedding and to come and get the bouquet. A certain Kwon said, ‘I prayed, but it seems that I have the gift of singleness’. I can't help but feel upset. So April is a cruel month.
But there is someone who has been really cruel in April. Who is it? That is Satan the Devil. For Satan, April is truly a cruel month to forget.
