What are you really living for? What are you sitting here for?
One day, the president of Harvard University gathered students on the playground and told this story. Congratulations on your entering this school. Now you have to run forward. Now, let's go around the playground together. Run hard. While everyone was running, a student suddenly stood up and asked a question to the president. What the hell do we have to run for? I do not know either. But we have to run hard forward. let's run One, two, three! This is what we look like. I don't know what I'm running for, and I live in a hurry, so I've already become a high school 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grader.
Let's hear another story.
A man was accidentally sentenced to life in prison. While in prison, he became friends with bedbugs. train bedbugs. After his sentence was commuted, he went to a restaurant and took out bedbugs to show off. Employee kills with thumb. The futility of life - Isn't this what life without a clear goal is all about?
Have you ever heard of former President Chun Doo-wan's 3 S policy of liberalization?
Screen, Sex, Sport
What are our 3 S's against this?
sola Scriptura - by the Bible alone, sola gratia - by grace alone
sola fide - only by faith
So, do you know the 4 Ps of Jesus? Only Jesus gives the 4 P. With the 4 Ps that Jesus can give, let's find out how this Samaritan woman who met Jesus today got these 4 Ps. And through this, let's see what we should be like.
1. Apology (Pardon)
- Only God can forgive sins and make atonement. (Colossians 1:14)
* Verse 16 and less = Revealing Jesus Christ, the Messiah, leading to the story of the husband (verse 26).
2. Peace
-Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. John 14:27
* Verses 13-15 - A spring of water springing up to eternal life
3. The ultimate goal
-If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
- I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly John 10:10
* Verses 28-29 left the water jar and preached Jesus Christ. Come & See
4. Power of life
- The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but the mighty force that breaks down strongholds before God 2 Corinthians 10:4
* Verse 39 - Believe in Jesus Christ. A man whom he had never met face-to-face boldly shouted about Jesus Christ.
* Makes the confession of verse 42 - Let's read it together. Demonstrates the role of a true evangelist
Through the figure of this woman, we can recognize the following things.
1. Evangelism is the duty of believers.
The sinful and unclean Samaritan woman, who was a foreign woman, had never been trained and was not told to go out and preach, but she was overcome with emotion and preached Jesus Christ. It is our job to share the grace of salvation that I have realized. Like the Samaritan woman, if you believe in Jesus as Lord and confess your faith, what happens automatically is the act of evangelism.
Evangelism is for all who believe. It is not only done by those who have studied theology or have had specialized training. Evangelism is our duty. Let's fulfill the mission of evangelism.
2. Evangelism is life.
There were times when evangelism was done only through the mouth. But now it must be seen as life. There was a time when I believed in [the Church of Jesus] only before. But now we have to show it by our actions.
One day, St. Francis said to his disciples in the morning, 'Let's go out and preach in the street today', and he led them out into the street. But St. Francis was just walking around without saying a word all day. And came back in the evening. The disciples went to preach and asked why they returned without saying anything. Then St. Francis replied, {We evangelized through our actions.}
My friends who don't believe us all are watching. If you are like them, do the 4 Ps that Jesus gave you have no meaning?
conclusion
We looked at the four things Jesus gave us. Let's review it again. Apology-Pardon, Peace-Peace, Ultimate Goal-Purpose, Life ability-Power.
Always remembering these four things, I pray that the spring of water that springs forth for eternal life that Jesus Christ has given us will always overflow within me, so that there may be such a work in which Christ is preached and known to my neighbors, my family, and everywhere I belong. I pray by name.
