Title: The Day of Christ. Sunday, September 10, 2006 Sermon.
I believe that God will bless you today.
Everyone! There are many days in this world. If you look at 365 days in one (1) year, they are all different days. And again, these are days that have their own meaning and are worth living.
In the meantime, there are some special days. For example, there is a day when we first came to this world. Are you referring to this as your birthday? As such, we have special days in general for ordinary people.
So, if you divide this into several categories, the first is the birthday day, and the second is the feast day. Today is the day of getting married and getting married. It is both solemn and serious. Of course, the joy of the two families is great. As a result, guests will be treated generously. So this day will be a day for everyone to eat, drink and enjoy.
And there is also the one-gap day. It is a day when the days of past life (adversity) come up like a lantern. It is a day where the bond between the couple who have been together is even more outstanding. Above all, it is also the day when the filial piety of the descendants is practiced.
And then it will probably be a trading day. The day you die and are buried in the ground. This is the last day of your life on this earth. In the old days, adults said that "the grim reaper" would take them. It was called the Nether Path. I went to Bukmansan (北邙山 = the name of a mountain with many tombs in China).
So they cry like that. They weep endlessly as they leave with the dead body in the bounty. Now, whenever I go, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh In this case, people who do good things (bonus traders) set up bonuses to get the price of alcohol and plunder the so-called “old money”.
Everyone! In this way, all these days are one day, and one day has great meanings. First of all, even if I think of only one birthday,
There is birth, there is birth, and there is rebirth. And that leads to eternal life. It is the moment when it becomes a grain and is put into the silt. The true value of life lies here.
Those who do not know God think this way. What is life? It's just a coincidence, it's just that, if you live like this and die, that's all.
So, in the old days, this song was sung by Mann. “No~ I play because I’m young, I can’t play when I get old~” Everyone! we need to know Our lives don't just end when we live and die like this. This is just the life of the world on this earth. Clearly, another eternal world lies with us afterward.
This is Psalm 14:1. A fool says in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt and their deeds are detestable, and there is no one who does good. It is about 4:13-14. Hear, you who say among you, We will go to any city and stay there a year and see it.
14) You do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Everyone! What is our life?
Hebrews 9:27. It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment...
Everyone! What does this mean? You mean people die? And does that mean that everyone dies? And you say that this rule has already been set? Therefore, no one escapes from this law.
But we believers have not only the despair of death, but also the hope of life. It will finally come before us through the final judgment. Because of this, we will all be judged after death. Everyone! When will that be? That day will be “the day of Christ.”
And what is this day of Christ? 1) This is the day the Jews have been waiting for. 2) It is the day of the arrival of Shincheonji. And 3) the day when all mankind will be judged. Everyone! All products produced in the factory are thoroughly
You must pass the inspection criteria.
Only then will it be judged as genuine and sold through domestic and overseas sales networks as a brand product of a so-called famous company with the logo of a proud subsidiary. When we farm, we always separate the wheat from the chaff. This is done on the threshing floor.
We don't know much about rural areas. And what's more, we don't know how much the farmers work. Farmers work hard to prepare for the next year's harvest, even in the winter months. Breeding the young, making puppies, baling, carrying manure (steps) from the stall, and bins of manure (pee, dung). In this way, even in the middle of winter, we prepare for the whole year of farming.
Now, when the snow melts on the mountain, the soil becomes soil, and spring comes, the farmer hastily plows the field and plows the paddy fields, while evenly digging through the manure heaps that have been transported during the winter. And now the seeds are sown.
In this way, when the grains start to grow, weed (weed the rice fields), give fertilizer, and draw blood. .
Everyone! As we envision a single soul, a so-called pregnant woman, guide us to the church through evangelism, get to know the church through the process of nurture, learn the gospel, and learn the work of the church, we become one. As a great worker, there is a process of growing into a full-fledged saint. After all, farming and the gospel (mission) work of a farmer are exactly the same.
Everyone! Now is the harvest time. Now we have to hurry up and do the autumn harvest. It should not be frosty and cold wind blowing. To make matters worse, if there is a lot of rain in late autumn, this is a big disappointment. So you have to hurry. You have to move fast.
This is Romans 13:11. And, knowing this time, the hour has already come to awake from sleep, for now salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Proverbs 10:4-5. He who is lazy with his hands will become weak, and he who has diligent hands will become rich. He who reaps in summer is a wise son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.
Everyone! When we look closely at the Bible, there are times when we are surprised and often startled. Everyone! As we know, the last days are coming. This isn't just a church thing. This phrase is often heard outside of the church.
The world is, they say, the last days. A few days ago there was a fire in a house. And in the house, a first-year boy, with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth taped, was suffocated by fire and smoke. It is a truly scary world, and indeed, this world is an unbelievable world, the last days.
Everyone, listen carefully. When God's judgment begins, where will the first tape be cut? The Bible says this is from the church. 1 Peter 4:17. The time has come for judgment to begin in the house of God (temple). If it is done to us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, where will the ungodly and sinners stand? John 19 Therefore, those who suffer according to God's will, let them also entrust their souls to the faithful Creator in doing good.
Everyone! What does this mean? Where does God's judgment come from? Aren't you saying it starts with the church? That's a really scary word. So, in Matthew 7:15-21, the following warning is given.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. (18) A good tree cannot bear fruit alone, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19) Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20) Therefore, you will know them by their fruits. 21) Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven.
In short, not everyone can be saved. This will undoubtedly be distinguished and discerned in the future. It is divided like a farmer picking wheat and chaff on a threshing floor.
It's an old story, but the book, Seoul Jesus, was published and became a topic of discussion. And a few years later, a book called Jesus of Busan was published and drew attention. In short, one day, Jesus visited Seoul, the capital of Korea. It starts with the story.
And he visited several churches in the famous market built with marble. It was the same in Busan. And the result is the story of Jesus' great disappointment and great anger. There is a lot of meaning in these words.
Our church must have self-cleaning ability. We must humbly listen to the word of our Lord. We must be able to hear the rebuke of the Holy Spirit during the day today. You must not become religious people (shamans) who memorize witchcraft (呪術).
Revelation 2:16-17. Repent, therefore, or I will come to you quickly and fight them with the sword of my mouth. 17) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (omitted) I hope that all of you will be able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 20:12-15. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, with books opened, and another book opened, which is the book of life. (14) And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as it was written in the books. (13) And the sea gave up the dead that were in them, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them; and each one was judged according to his works. Death and Hades were also thrown into the lake of fire, which is the second death, the lake of fire. 15) Anyone who was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Continue to look.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. 17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Our hope is here. Let's take a look at one more place.
Matthew 3:10, 12. The ax is already at the root of the tree, so it bears good fruit
Every tree that does not do it will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 12) With the rudder in his hand, he will make his threshing floor clear; he will gather the wheat into the barns, and burn the chaff with an unquenchable fire.
Everyone! I hope that all of you will become grain believers so that you will be able to enter the heavenly barns in the coming “day of Christ”. Amen.
