Title: The Apostleship of Jesus
Contents
Jesus’ ordained apostle (Mark 3:13-19)
In 2010, our church is holding a common council, and we are going to elect each office worker and hold the installation ceremony today. This work is more important and precious than any other work in the church.
However, as they are important and valuable, these events may also involve Satan's extreme sabotage operation. When we do this together, I hope that it will be a precious time to pray together and carefully obey the will of the Lord.
We must remember that raising officers is not a time to honor any one person, nor is it a time to honor any one person.
When the Lord is appointed as a servant of the kingdom of God, there is a good purpose for the kingdom of God. Therefore, we should not look at it from personal feelings and positions, but from a spiritual perspective centered on the church.
In the case of our Okyaamiya Church, this is the first event in about 17 years since we were appointed as Kwonsa. Therefore, it can be said that it is a very special time.
Dear saints,
What do you think is the most difficult thing in this world?
Of course, nothing in this world is not easy. Studying is also difficult. Exercising is also difficult. Making money is really hard work. No matter what you do, you just get nothing without paying for it.
The most difficult thing in this world is to raise people. Setting people up right is really hard work, but the most rewarding and most valuable thing is to set people up.
Building each and every one of you is the same as building this society, the nation, and the world.
We all know the Virginia Tech shootings. It's such a shocking event. Thirty-three people were killed, including himself, and 15 were injured.
It is the largest mass shooting since the founding of the United States and the greatest mass shooting by a single person in the world. If you get into Virginia Tech, you're still a good student, and if you're a college student, you're still an intellectual. However, this time, Cho Seung-hee's shocking shooting incident is revealed to be a combination of autism from a young age, megalomaniac, and the coldness of American society.
According to his grandmother, "Jo Seung-hee was a very cold child from a young age, and even showed autism symptoms, such as not doing well no matter what his parents told him to do." His biggest problem is, "I could have socialized with my friends, but I didn't do that at all, and I was alone."
That is, I always grew up as a loner. Just by looking at the fact that no one has revealed that they are friends with Cho Seung-hee so far, it shows how much Cho Seung-hee has built her own world as a 'loner' and has developed a hatred for the world and the rich in the process.
I think that Seunghee Cho has been cultivating her own 'devil' due to personality flaws and mental problems that she has nurtured and nurtured for over 20 years," said Dr. James Allan Fox, a Northeastern University crime doctor. Sadly, his Even though I was seeing the symptoms of such a personality flawed psychopath, I could not heal it well and left it alone, of course, the church was no exception.
As I looked at the past events, I wondered if there is such a spiritual loner in our church. I hope we can open our hearts to each other a little more and accept each other. If there are people among us who are living alone like this, I hope that they will expand their hearts a little bit more and build a beautiful life as a family of the Lord.
Dear saints,
1. The appointment of those whom Jesus wanted
See verse 13. When Jesus raised his apostles, he called those whom he wanted.
However, the standards of what kind of people our Lord wanted are not introduced precisely. Just in Luke 6:12, it says that Jesus went to the mountain and prayed all night, and when it was light, he called 12 people and appointed them as apostles.
He appointed 12 apostles, but not 12 chose the Lord, but the Lord chose 12.
You have established your servants by your sole sovereignty. On what basis did you call the 12 people?
The names of the 12 apostles called by the Lord are introduced. If you look at the 12 apostles, it is characteristic that they were extremely ordinary and insignificant people. At that time, I was a fisherman in the Sea of Galilee, a tax collector who became a Roman minion, and I chose unknown people who did not know him very well. In particular, a job like a publican was a job that was not well-reputed in society at that time. Therefore, a profession like a publican did not occupy any small position in a religious organization, and the publican's testimony was hated to such an extent that the Jewish courts did not accept it.
Based on the histories of these 12 people, they were far from mature adults.
But Jesus wanted them to be apostles and appointed them. And he gave some of his disciples new names.
First, Simon was given the name Peter. His real name is Simon and his new name is Peter. The name Peter means rock. A rock is a firm stone that does not shake. However, if you look at Peter in the 4 Gospels, he is a very quick-tempered and capricious person, and he changes very easily in the evening and in the morning. It does not fit the name of his rock. But our Lord intended to change Simon into a rock and use him as a rock. So, the Lord is the one who takes an unknown person and uses him as a famous person. He called Simon, gave him the name of Peter, and built up Peter like a rock and used it.
