With him, he came from the outskirts of China at the time to the more outlying land of Joseon. The evening of Thursday, December 4, 1884! Allen meets Min Young-ik, who was nearly killed by a knife in the body due to the Gapsin Coup. Even after treating Min Young-ik, this coup escalated into a fight between the Qing and Japanese troops who had entered Seoul, killing many people and leaving the city and foreigners uneasy. will tremble in So, most foreigners in Seoul fled to Jemulpo (Incheon), but Allen had various human concerns, but he decided to leave everything to God and stayed in Seoul. Because it was a place to keep and keep the will of his calling.
Allen, who found poor conditions for preaching the gospel and risked it, stayed in Seoul and preached the gospel, who is shining forever like a star in heaven.
We hope that you will be filled with precious grace through today's text.
To those who have brought them back to righteousness, he makes them shine like the stars for eternity. 3 A wise person will shine like the light of the firmament, and he who turns many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.
This will happen in heaven. God makes the evangelist who brings him back to righteousness shine like a star forever.
Jesus was transfigured on the Mount of Transfiguration, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the throne of God.
In heaven, martyrs and evangelists shine like stars.
In heaven, the evangelists will shine in the same way as you see the golden sea of glass, the golden house, and the twelve pearl gates.
The Lord makes those who turn to right always shine like the stars forever and ever. The names of Paul and Peter are shining brightly in the Bible. I hope that we too will lead many people back to righteousness so that they can live a life that shines like stars in heaven and on earth forever.
2 Timothy 4:5 Be prudent in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your duties. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith 8 From now on there is in store for me the crown of righteousness; Believe that the righteous Judge will give it to me on that day, and that those who have turned to the right in this way will shine like the stars forever and ever.
So, God has given us the mission of evangelism.
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Matthew 2818 Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 20 and teaching them everything I have commanded you keep it, and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.
The Apostle Paul's resolve for evangelism is Romans 9:3, "For my brothers, even if I myself be cursed and cut off by Christ for the sake of my brothers and sisters, I want them to be cut off from Christ with a heart of earnest hope that my brothers and sisters will be saved. It is my heart to evangelize.
1 Corinthians 9:16 Even if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about. For if I do not preach the Gospel, woe to me. Even my life is of no value to me, to finish the work of bearing witness.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word, in season and out of season, always striving
Colossians 4:3 Pray also for us, that God may open the door for us to preach, that we may speak the mystery of Christ; for this I have been bound.
Jesus also said that the purpose of coming to this earth was to evangelize. Mark 1:38 He said, "Let's go to other nearby villages, and we will preach there as well, for this purpose I have come." Matthew 11:1 When Jesus had finished commanding the twelve, he went away from there to teach and preach in their towns.
The Lord commanded evangelism, and many prophets and apostles set the example of evangelism. Let us also evangelize. I hope that those who bring them back to righteousness will believe that they will shine like the stars forever.
