“Christians have no borders, but Christians have a homeland,” he said. Christians need more and more love for their country, loving and cherishing it, and giving their lives. The history of Israel is similar to that of Korea. Independence is similar in 45 years and 48 years, and it has been divided into North and South, and has walked a difficult path due to the pain of division and aggression. To explain the text, it is a time when Israel loses its nation due to idolatry and sin, is taken captive to Babylon, and there is no hope of salvation. At this time, willful Christians wept and prayed for the country and people with tears, and saved the country and restored it with the faith that risked their lives.
However, after 120 years of missions, Korea has half of the world's top 10 churches, and has become a country of great blessing, ranking 2nd in world missions, and has become a powerful country reaching 12th in the world.
But we are at a very important point.
We need a living leader.
We need leaders like Jeremiah who can weep for our country. Just as Moses prayed while taking responsibility for the people's mistakes, we need a responsible leader. Moses received God's favor through that prayer. He is a leader who looks to the future, not the present moment.
People need to be alert.
We must return to a nation that is hardworking and sincere. We must create a society free from lies and cleanliness. You should take pride in your work. All foreign companies aside, all domestic ones are blown away. We must not become a country where we have to put on our belts and gather around, shouting, swearing, and self-immolating to become something.
Christians should weep in memory of Zion.
Tears save the country. We need tears of love for our country. The church must stand upright. All churches must stop strife, strive to save souls, and become bearers of light and salt. You must have love for God. Those who do not stand right before God cannot love the country. The tears shed by the rivers of the Babylonian captives saved the nation and the country.
