Text/John 3:16
This is the story of a tourist bus accident in Switzerland.
The bus driver on the way back from the tour was going downhill, and the bus driver suddenly noticed that the brakes had malfunctioned.
Tourists, who thought it was strange to run without slowing down on a sharp curve, noticed it and started screaming in excitement and losing their temper.
However, the driver calmly crossed the curve safely and the tourists cheered and liked it.
I see a village in front of me.
Now all you have to do is park your car somewhere in town.
Don't you see children playing on the road at the entrance to the village?
The startled driver honked his horn and even shouted to avoid it.
All the children heard the sound and fled, but one child was unable to escape. He was a sick child.
For a moment, the driver struggled over whether to save the tourist or the child, and in the end hit the child.
And the bus stopped on a hill.
As soon as the driver got out of the car, he ran to the child and hugged the bloody child and started crying.
The people around are the killers! Murderer!- he booed.
At that moment, a young man cried out.
“Everyone quit.” That kid is the driver's son.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
1, God still loves the world.
God loves the world. He loves you beyond time, space, status, and circumstances. Let's take a look at it in detail.
1) The Earth rotates around its axis at a speed of 1600 km per hour.
If the Earth's rotation speed slows down to 1/10 and rotates 160 km, the length of day and night will be ten times longer, causing plants and people on Earth to die of cold at night and die of heat during the day.
2) He keeps the distance between the sun and the earth accurately.
The surface of the sun is 6000 degrees Celsius. A little closer, it will burn, and a little further away, the Earth will become a mass of ice.
3) He tilted the earth 23 degrees. Ex)- Seeing that the globe is tilted,
Because the Earth is tilted 23 degrees, Korea has four seasons.
If it had not been tilted, all the water vapor in the sea would move south and north, and the entire continent would become a mass of ice.
(Hebrews 3:4) “Every house has a builder, and God made all things.”
(Job 26:7) “He stretches out the northern skies over empty space, and he restores the earth to space.”
(Psalm 104:9) “You set the boundaries of the waters so that they do not overflow.”
Through earthquakes, famines, plagues, tsunamis, etc. that have occurred on the earth, let us know that the Lord's Second Coming is near and practice our faith more diligently.
He is waiting for the sinful world to give eternal life to those who believe.
“That whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
God is waiting for the gospel to be preached to all nations,
I am blessed by preaching the gospel to all nations,
Ex)- God who loves and waits for even the Supreme Beings In 1994, on the eve of Chuseok, the “Children Incident” became known and surprised the world.
How can a person do that when he sees six young men who have a negative view of the world killing and burning people? So when you say you should kill everyone
The love of Deacon Jae-myung Lee of “Love Church” changed them.
We put items such as a gift, winter clothes, underwear, socks, blankets, etc. to those who could not even visit them, and started evangelism by writing religious books and letters. They received a letter saying that their hearts and all their actions were unconditionally wrong.
So, the deacon again wrote a letter based on today's message, and a week later, a reply came from three people, saying, "Will God really love and forgive a sinner like me?"
Among them, Kim Hyeon-yang, who was the leader of the action, said that the most vicious person who could not kill the Apgujeong Yata tribe and was saddened by it was evangelized about 30 prisoners before being executed.
(Hymn 405) He loved a sinner like me and sent Jesus Christ.
- Salvation is one way! There is only Jesus.- (John 3:17)
- The truth is one! There is only Jesus.- (John 14:6)
- There is only one life! It is in Jesus.- (John 10:10)
3, I do not need to be ashamed of anyone in knowing God.
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night.
Text (John 3:1-2) Nicodemus was the leader of Israel.
It is written that he was a ruler of the Jews.
Today, he had a high status, equivalent to that of a member of parliament.
But there was a thirst in his heart.
So I came to Jesus in the middle of the night.
I learned the “secret of being born again” from Jesus.
“Nicodemus” has been changed.
1) (John 7:50) “One of them, Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus before, said to them,”
When the Pharisees and scribes tried to arrest Jesus, Nicodemus refuted it.
2) (John 19:39) “Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus early at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.”
After hearing the word, Nicodemus was transformed and lived centered on Jesus.
God did not spare even his only begotten Son to save a sinner like me.
If you know God's heart from now on, you must know what God is pleased with and live by doing it.
