Title - Sacrificial Service to Help Our Neighbors
Christianity is a religion of love, and the essence of Christianity is ‘self-sacrifice’ that Jesus showed by dying on the cross.
The Lord, who died as a sin offering on the cross with this self-sacrificing love, wants us as saints to serve God and love our neighbors with an attitude of sacrifice and service.
Therefore, today, we would like to share grace by thinking together about the sacrificial service that the Lord wants, that the saints give themselves.
Yehwa - Words that stop when you see a beggar
The Dutch provincial minister, Jusugo, was courageous and loving.
One day, the servant of the house went on an errand to ride on his master's horse. On the way, there was a beggar begging on the side of the road, but the bell was about to pass by. But the horse stood in front of the beggar and did not move. The horse was standing waiting for something to be given to the beggar. So the servant was forced to take money out of his pocket and give it to the beggar, and only then did the horse begin to move again. This means that he did not pass by the beggar because he was carrying a master who always gave alms to the beggar.

1. Serving with self-discipline
What Jesus did during his public life was to heal the sick, heal the demon-possessed, and save sinners.
Because all these demon-possessed souls suffering from diseases and those who were cursed in sin needed the Lord's help.
After the Ascension of the Lord, the work that the early church members and disciples worked hard to, while also helping and serving those in need, was to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.
