Tomorrow, the 26th (Tuesday) of the sand, is the 15th of January in the lunar calendar, the first full moon.
Now, walnuts, peanuts, etc. are piled up like a mountain in every corner store, but 20-30 years ago, they were precious.
things. When I was a child, I gave a can from the bank and ripped out pieces of wood and rotated it like a full moon.
I vividly remember making a bat and turning it with oil that fell on the ground at the end of the bus.
1. The flames of the gospel must be kindled in this country and people.
Friday is March 1, the 82nd anniversary of the Samil Day. It is a day when the torch of freedom and independence is raised high.
There is a saying "Sorrow rides the wings of time and disappears" The proud me in the sad reality
The history of protest must never fade with time.
Some people say, “July 17 is called Constitution Day, August 15 is Liberation Day, and October 3 is called National Foundation Day.
The 1st of the month is called 'Samiljeol' without a name."
is.
Shin Yong-ha, a professor at Seoul National University, said, "If we dare change the name of Samiljeol, 'Independence Movement Day' would be appropriate"
do.
This is a time when the heart of love for the country needs to take root in us more deeply.
It cannot be left only to those who will step forward as leaders for the development of this country and the hope of the nation.
is. The torch of hope and love for the country must not be extinguished within us. Especially this country and people
The fire of the gospel towards us must be burning vigorously without being extinguished.
2. Peter was a man of faith who burned the torch of the gospel.
Let's read verse 12 together. "Salvation can be found in no one else,
for no other name has been given to us” (12).
At that time, the Jewish leaders were brought together. Religious giants wear fancy clothes
He sat on a high seat and looked down at the captured apostles and asked. I didn't ask out of curiosity
It is an interrogation for reproach and investigation. “By what authority and by what name did you do these things?
are you?"
What is this thing here? Yesterday, I saw a crippled man begging for a penny or two from people passing by in front of the temple.
It's said to be saved.
People can give to others what they have.
Peter and the apostles had no gold and silver, but Jesus Christ was more precious than gold and silver.
All.
We need knowledge, we need money, we need jobs, we need relationships to live.
But what we need more is Jesus Christ. A knowledgeable person has knowledge
You can give it to people and make it useful. Those who have money in their wallets will find it difficult to unlock them.
You can help people.
A person with a lot of spiritual interest can understand, comfort, and encourage others with that interest and recognition.
is.
People give what they have. The one who has Jesus alive in his heart is Jesus
I put you out.
"You ask for a penny, but I have no money. But there is the most precious person. Give him to you.
I give you, walk in the name of Jesus of Nazareth."
He grabbed my hand and got me up. I started walking and headed straight for the temple.
He walked and jumped, and with a strange appearance, he went into the temple praising God.
I went.
In Acts 3 we read that he did not get up and run to his house, but to the temple.
All.
The name of Jesus is an amazing name that can change a person's life most wonderfully.
The name of Jesus completely changed a person's life.
First, it changed my physical life.
The crippled man became a self-walker. A person who could not live without the help of others
He became a person who could live on his own. He no longer stares at the faces of passersby
You will work on your own, without looking and begging.
Second, it changed my spiritual life.
I will live as a mentally independent and mature person. that people didn't notice
You will live as a healthy Jew just like everyone else in your fringe life.
Third, it changed our spiritual life.
People who had only been outside the temple gates could enter the temple. staring at a person's face
A person who lived by looking at God became a person who lived by looking at the face of God.
Begging for people is a prayer to God
turned into sheep.
This is a major change in your life. All these changes come because of the living Jesus.
3. When people who saw this life event gathered around the temple, they raised their voices and started preaching.
I did.
Peter was arrested while preaching the gospel boldly.
These are the words of the priests to Peter, who stands proudly. “What power and by what name do you
have you done this?"
Just a few days ago, when Jesus was arrested at the priest's house, in front of an unknown maid in the house.

Peter, who denied “I do not know Jesus,” is now standing in front of the authorities who are soaring in the sky.
speaking boldly.
"Salvation is found in no one else. We are given another name under heaven by which men
Nothing has been given to you.” (12)
These words are the core of the truth that the Holy Spirit gave to the apostle Peter. firm and great words
is.
There are three main contents of the truth in these words.
First, all life and salvation belong to God, who created the universe and all things.
Second, God gave only one answer to salvation.
Third, the answer is Jesus Christ who died on the cross and was resurrected.
Jesus is the only answer in life.
“Believe in Jesus. Only if you believe in Jesus will you be saved, blessed, and live a righteous life and go to heaven.”
The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ.
When you meet Jesus, your destiny changes. The name of Jesus is the name of salvation.
A church where new life is evangelized is a healthy church. Saints who evangelize new life
Owner.
Anyone outside the temple must be brought into the temple in Jesus name.
We need to introduce the beauty of life looking to God for people who used to only look at people and the world.
is.
We have to stand up to the fateful person who used to sit down and meet the blessed life of living proudly.
A rich life that enjoys what comes from God's hand to the poor who live only by the hands of others
must be enjoyed.
In the world, we have to lead those who have failed, those who are weary, and those who will be comforted into the Lord. i did
I do not have the power and ability to change a person's life, but the Lord in me can.
We just need to take that person's hand in the name of Jesus Christ. "hand in hand"
During the month of March, when the new spring comes, a new life will be born in the name of the Lord through our prayers and efforts.
I hope you wake up
