Title: You Are Witnesses of All These Things
You are witnesses of all these things (Luke 24:44-48).
There are three important events in the history of mankind's redemption. The first is the suffering and resurrection of Christ. The second is evangelism and missionary work. After the Pentecost, evangelism and missions began and spread to Jerusalem, all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. The gospel came to our country 125 years ago, and we believe and are saved and become God's people. And now, Korea is sending missionaries all over the world. When did Jesus say the second coming and the end of the world would come? If you say that Jesus will return on a few days in a few months, it is all heresy. He said that Jesus would return when the day comes when all nations and tribes of the world will hear the gospel. The third is the second coming of Jesus with the sound of the archangel's trumpet, as shown in Revelation 21, and a new heaven and a new earth will come.
So what time do we live? The first event, the suffering and resurrection of Christ, has been completed, the second event, the preaching of the gospel to all nations, is in progress, and the third event, the Second Coming and the coming of the kingdom of God, has not yet been accomplished. Therefore, we are living on this earth at a time when evangelism and world missions must be accomplished. Do you want the Lord to come again and the kingdom of heaven to come to this earth one day soon? Then you must risk your life for evangelism and missions. The Bible is the foundation of our faith, the standard of our values, and the standard of life for all who believe in Jesus. The themes that God emphasizes most in the Bible are the suffering and resurrection of Christ, evangelism and mission. However, the first was already completed by what Jesus did alone, not what we had to do. What, then, is the important thing the Bible commands us to do? It is evangelism and missionary work. Because of this mission, you and I remain in this world.
The time of the Lord's coming is near now, but when the gospel of the kingdom is preached to all nations, the Lord will come. Therefore, we who remain on the earth today must do our best to evangelize and do missionary work. Don't be too attached to the life on this earth that will be destroyed at the time of the Second Coming, and the life you only have once, no matter how old we are or at what point we are, the rest of our lives from today onwards will be devoted to the talents you have given me and the rest of our lives. In the name of Jesus, I pray that you will become the saints of the preface who live for health, doing everything possible to help people who are more precious than the world know the gospel and be saved.
