Today's sermon shows the wonderful things that 3000 people repented of through the coming of the Holy Spirit (37-42) and the beautiful aspect of the life of the early church that communicated with each other (43-47).
Such a wonderful thing had never happened before the coming of the Holy Spirit.
36: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
These words were “the last advice.” It was the Achilles heel of the audience gathered here, and Peter's words pierced the hearts of the audience, and many of them 'Crucify him' (Matthew 27:22) with one voice. He must have been a participant.
Just as Buddhism has the Maitreya ideology, the Jews are a nation that has lived with the long-awaited ideology of the Messiah throughout the history of the Old Testament. But, through Peter, they learned what great deeds they had done. They learned that they had crucified Jesus, the Messiah, whom God had raised to become Lord and Christ, whom they had longed for and expected. Conscientiously and rationally, they are pierced.
Monk Hyobong, the teacher of Monk Seongcheol and Beopbeop, sentenced a prisoner to death when he was a judge, and it became a burden on his heart, so he took off his robe and wandered around the country.
However, we strongly insisted on the innocent and innocent Jesus and crucified him. And until now, I didn't even know if it was a mistake or a sin, but rather, I thought it was a good thing. But today, hearing Peter's words, they were pierced by how much sin they had committed. The work of the Holy Spirit is also to rebuke sin. (When the Comforter comes, He will rebuke the world for sin, righteousness, and judgment for what is wrong. John
16:8) These five letters ‘pierced in the heart’ came to my heart this morning and nailed them.
37: What shall we do?
“What should I do?” These are words of repentance, words of mourning, and humility waiting for the word of the Lord. Ah, the anguish of our hearts that we can neither die nor live, that we cannot do anything about, plunges us into the depths of despair. We are pitiful, unfinished lives that experience a lot of pain in our lives, and at that moment we are drowning in unavoidable despair. The light of solution is not seen, and he experiences despair as if he is sinking into a deep swamp. The desperate sighs that come out at this time seem to melt away our souls and bodies. What should I do, what should I do with this?
38: Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Enlightenment and repentance are given at this time. When I can't help it, when I feel my limits deep in my soul, when I desperately feel the emptiness, loss, and weakness of my existence, I disappear and the mass of self and all sorts of desires in me feel worthless and the longing for a new world Repentance occurs when there is. It is to change your heart and turn to Christ. It is to have the right view of Christ. Christ is the true Messiah and Savior. In this respect, repentance, baptism, forgiveness of sins, and the presence of the Holy Spirit are the basic principles for our salvation and cannot but be simultaneous events.
40: Be saved from this perverse generation.
It was a rebellious era. It's still the same even now. The rebellious generation is clearly informed through the events of Noah's flood (Genesis 7:17) and Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24) that they will be judged by God.
We too must be separated from this rebellious generation, believe and be saved.
3000 believers who repented and were saved gathered together
It is here that the church of Acts, which is the model of heaven, was built.
A church that is devoted to fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, a church where the apostles are the object of reverence and fear, and where God's wonders and signs are performed on a regular basis.
Day by day, they worked hard to gather in the temple together, broke bread at home, and ate food with joy and sincerity, praising God and receiving praise from all the people. I lost.
I pray that each of these salvations and the church will be strong in our Jesus Village Church. If you do not have the assurance of salvation yet, I pray that you will receive the assurance of salvation through the piercing and repentance at this time and become a precious member of this church.
Prayer
God, give us the power of the Holy Spirit to build your church powerfully, perform wonders and miracles, and establish us as workers who confirm and recommend the gospel in the world. I pray in Jesus name. Amen
