MISSION BLESSINGS

'Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 
 
Nehemiah 8:6-12 
 
6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. 
7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read. 9 Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. 10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 11 The Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, for this is a holy day. Do not grieve.” 12 Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

 The gospel of the Lord changes people. It changes how we think and how we live. It also changes how we feel. So how do we feel when we receive the gospel of the Lord? It is not easy to simplify how we feel because feelings are essentially very subjective. Different people feel differently. But I believe there is still something in common. It seems to me that people’s feelings get generally deeper and more sensitive when we genuinely accept the word of God. We feel far greater regrets for our own sins. We also feel much deeper gratitude for God’s grace and love. We feel greater compassion for other people. We feel deeper and profound joy at the presence of the Lord. This is one aspect of the transformations that we go through as we take God’s truth into our hearts. Today’s passage shows the heated emotional response of the Israelites who rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem to the word of God proclaimed by Ezra. See the graphic descriptions of how they responded to the word of God. “Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen Amen” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.” Just picture the crowd all lifting their hands and shouting Amen Amen. then bowing down and worshipping the Lord with their faces to the ground. At the same time, they were also all weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. They were all grieving for the sins of their own and their forefathers. These were all natural and voluntary outbursts of people’s feelings as they listened to the word of God. But the worship leaders such as Nehemiah and Levites told them not to grieve so much. Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” There is nothing wrong in mourning and grieving about our own sins when the word of God is preached. But when there are much greater reasons to celebrate with joy and gratitude, we better hold mourning and grieving. I believe this principle also applies to the overall life of believers. We should repent and mourn for our own sins. But God doesn’t want us to stay in mourning forever. Rather He wants us to celebrate His love and grace that saved us from sin. He wants us to live more joyfully, thankfully, and prayerfully than sorrowfully. How much joy and strength are you receiving daily from the word of God? As Nehemiah said, the joy of the Lord is your strength. Are you strong in the Lord?

Nehemiah 12:27-31, 43 
 
 
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals, harps and lyres. 28 The musicians also were brought together from the region around Jerusalem—from the villages of the Netophathites, 29 from Beth Gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the musicians had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem. 30 When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people, the gates and the wall. 
31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. I also assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate 
43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.

 Nehemiah and his people went through a lot. They were rejected, ridiculed, and constantly threatened. They have to fight against the enemy at the same time they rebuilt the wall. Half of the men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows, and armor. They worked with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. They suffered from internal division as well as outside attacks. But they overcame all of those obstacles under the leadership of Nehemiah. With the increasing challenges in our ages, it is no wonder that the book of Nehemiah is becoming more popular among Christians in our time. Nehemiah became a role model of many leaders. Several books have been published about Nehemiah’s leadership. Nehemiah certainly has many characteristics of a good leader. But we should not forget that it was fundamentally God, not Nehemiah who made the rebuilding of the wall completed. So we should pay as much attention to what God has done as what Nehemiah and the people of Israel have achieved. The final chapters of Nehemiah clearly show it. Nehemiah and the people of Israel finally reached the dedication ceremony of the wall of Jerusalem. This is the climax of celebrations of the wall of Jerusalem. They were dedicating the newly rebuilt wall to God. On the dedication ceremony, They fervently praised God for the power and protection that God has given to them with songs of thanksgiving. To make the walls of Jerusalem acceptable to God, the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall too. They offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away. Nehemiah also had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. He also assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate. What a heavenly procession it must have been! I believe that this scene of procession over the wall of Jerusalem is a clear picture of the procession of the saints when they get to heaven. Forgetting all the pains and toils they went through in the world, the saints will be marching in procession into the heavenly Jerusalem. Oh, when the saints go marching in, oh when the saints go marching in the heavenly Jerusalem. Oh, how I want to be in that number. Oh, how you would want to be in that number. Amen!

Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them. For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shekaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.

15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.

And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me. 
 
 Today’s title is “Whose Allies Are You?” 
 
 In world war 2, two great forces clashed with each other. One was the so-called Axis power comprised of nations such as Germany, Italy, and Japan. The other power was the so-called Allied Power comprised of such nations as the US, England, Russia, and China. All the nations that belonged to the Axis power had the same fate of defeat. On the other hand, all the nations that belonged to the Allied Power got the victory. Likewise, there are two different powers in the spiritual war. Everybody will have the same fate who they are allied with. The two powers are God’s power and Devil’s power. Whoever allied with God will have the victory with God. Whoever or whatever allied with the devil will eventually meet the fate of the devil who will be cast into the dungeon by God. So we have to carefully choose whom to be allied with. Nehemiah’s enemies have various allies including some nobles of Judah who were highly intimate to Nehemiah. They were intimately related to Tobiah by marriage who was the archenemy of Nehemiah. Those nobles of Judah who are allied with Tobiah were tipping out all the information they have got from Nehemiah. “Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them. For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shekaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.” On the other hand, they always spoke well of Tobiah to Nehemiah. With the help of those nobles of Judah who betrayed Nehemiah, Tobiah constantly intimidated Nehemiah. Nehemiah must have felt isolated and vulnerable. But Nehemiah had a great ally who never betrayed him nor forsaken him. too. Whom can that be? Of course, it was God. He completely provided for Nehemiah and protected him. God intimately shared His own wisdom and knowledge with Nehemiah. No wonder Nehemiah flatly and quickly defeated Tobiah and all those who are allied with him. Who are you allied with within the spiritual war of your life? Are you allied with God? It matters crucially that you are allied with our life as well as in spiritual and physical war. Allied with Him, there is the power you cannot defeat. Not allied with Him, you are at the mercy of the allied power of the devil.

Nehemiah 6:10-14 
 
10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you.” 11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me. 14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets have been trying to intimidate me. 
 
 Today’s title is “No Intimidation! ” 
 
 Are some people born to be leaders? Or are leaders made? People can argue for either position. One can argue, “Some people reveal their leadership potential from early childhood. Those people must be born to be leaders.”. “But there are many leaders who didn’t show any noticeable leadership potential until they are fully grown up, but later become great leaders after going through the significant learning process.” Others will argue. What do you think? I am sure that each argument has some merits. But none of these arguments can explain the mystery of leadership consistently. What can the bible say about the same question? To me, the bible seems to say that leaders are neither born nor made. Leaders are called and sent. What do you think? To some, this view may not explain fully about the leaders either. But I am sure that most bible lovers will agree. Nehemiah was not born as a leader. He wasn’t trained to become a leader. He was just a cup-bearer at the palace. But God called him to lead the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem and sent him. We see many spiritual leaders called only by the sovereign will of God in the bible. For example. Amos was just a shepherd and a farmer of fig trees before he was called to declare God’s message to a nation that had forgotten its spiritual roots. But when God called a person, He supplies them with leadership qualities needed for the mission. One of the most essential leadership qualities that God supplies to the called servant is courage. Each spiritual leader has a different style and different ways of serving God. But there was no spiritual leader who lacked courage. Knowing that God who has called and sent them will be with them forever, they have no reason to be timid whatsoever. The enemies of the Lord tried to intimidate Nehemiah. They tried to make him fearful and run away or go hiding. Nehemiah knew their scheme and boldly decline the intimidation saying, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” This is the same confession of Esther who dared to come before the king at the risk of her own life saying “ If I perish, I perish.” Intimidation is one of the devil’s most lethal weapons. What intimidates you most? How easily are you intimidated? Are you walking with God in your daily life? Has God called you and sent you where you are? Then, don’t fall into the devil’s intimidation. You are in God’s hand and under His wing. Take courage.

12 Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.” 
13 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. 14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” 
15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work. 
 
 
 Today’s title is ” Hard pressed on every side, But Not Crushed” 
 
 Whether we see it or not, we are in a constant spiritual fight. The fight is not so visible when things are going as usual. But when we strive to do something in obedience and honor of God, the fight tends to suddenly intensify. We will not only see a lot of fiery darts coming from the enemy’s camp but also frequent back-stabbings from inside. We can even become hard-pressed on every side as Apostle Paul once said. This is what happened to Nehemiah. He was enjoying a good life in the palace of Persia as a royal cup-bearer. He was carefree. The devil didn’t bother to trouble him. But as he committed himself to rebuild the broken wall of Jerusalem and acted upon his vision. Spiritual fires become flared up in every direction. The enemies were threatening him saying, “Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.” His own workers were complaining in dejection saying, The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall. Terrible, isn’t it? But this is something that any spiritual leader must go through in any work for God. The enemies will not relent. They will try to bring the confusion and disarray into our own camps. What can you do? Nehemiah shows us what to do. You do what is needed. Be practical and be effective. Be compassionate to those who are discouraged. At the same time, stir their spirit with faith and conviction. Look what Nehemiah did. “I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” There were no cannons fired, no javelins thrown. But when their enemies heard, they knew that God had frustrated it. How is your spiritual life going on? What kind of spiritual attacks are you going through? You may be threatened, mocked, or even be hard-pressed on every side. But you know what? If you are with God, you might be hard-pressed, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. In short, the final victory is yours no matter what! Do not be afraid.

 Today’s title is “God , His Servants and the Mockers” 
 
 There is a spiritual trilateral relationship between God, His servants, and the mockers that all Christians should be aware of. God rules us in His love and justice. The mockers try to disrupt and interfere in God’s reign of love and justice. Usually, the devil which is the fountain of all evils sneaks in quietly and works secretly. The way the devil tempted Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden is a good example of such a sly approach. But there are also times that the devil rather boldly attacks the reign of the Lord. We see it in the temptation of the Lord Jesus in the wilderness. The devil, perhaps knowing that he cannot hide his identity before the Lord, disclosed himself to the Lord and tried to tempt the Lord. The devil’s attempt to interfere and disrupt the will of God never succeeds. But he will not give up on it until he is finalized by the Lord. The servants of the Lord love the Lord. They desire to serve the Lord appreciating His love and justice. They strive to lift up the name of the Lord all over the world by declaring His glory and goodness through words and deeds. The devil does not like it. So the devil and his servants try to stop it one way or the other. Because of such attacks and assaults, The servants of the Lord go through many sufferings. But the Lord sees through it all. Then He comes to their aid at the right time and gives His servants the final victory. We see such a spiritual triangle in today’s passage. Nehemiah, the servant of the Lord, embarked on a mission of restoring the broken walls of Jerusalem to bring back the glory of the Lord. But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed him. Spiritually viewed, they were the servants of the devil. They thought they tore down God’s city and claimed it as their own. They presumed that it will never be built again as God’s territory. But they were wrong. A servant with the heart after God suddenly surfaced over the ruined wall. They tried to deny and discourage him. He was with God. And God was with him. So he said, “ The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.” Similar spiritual triangles are in our life too. Are you aware of it? The devil and his servants deny and deride our devotions to the Lord. They will mock us. At such a time, we should see God at the top of the triangle and say to them, “God is with me. He will give me success! You have no share in His kingdom.”. Can you do that like Nehemiah? Then God surely will give you success. Amen!

But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. “What is this you are doing?” they asked. “Are you rebelling against the king?”

Finally, I turned back and reentered through the Valley Gate. 16 The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews or the priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work. 17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” 18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. 
 Today’s title is “ Super Work In Not So Super-natural Way” 
 
 People of God believe in Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit guides us and leads us. So we humbly wait upon the guidance of the Spirit. We want to follow the Holy Spirit when it moves before us or signals to follow. When the Holy Spirit works in our life, supernatural miracles can follow such as great healings and other powerful manifestations of God’s glory. We have witnessed such supernatural work of the Spirit in the lives of patriarchs, prophets in the Old Testament as well as apostles in the New testament. But does the work of God or the Spirit have to be supernatural? The answer is clearly “No!”. God does a lot of works naturally rather than supernaturally. The Holy Spirit works more naturally than supernaturally too. The Holy Spirit more often gives us wisdom that leads us by supernatural wisdom. The Spirit helps us understand God’s will and act upon it rather than the Spirit does the will of God supernaturally on his own. God has done great work supernaturally in Nehemiah’s life. He helped Nehemiah earn the king’s favor. He protected Nehemiah during his perilous journey to Jerusalem. He will save him from ceaseless assault from the enemies. But the greater role of God and the Spirit in Nehemiah’s ministry was to provide him with wisdom, prudence, perseverance, and faith in natural ways. We see such examples in today’s passage. Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem with divine help. But after he came to Jerusalem, he carefully and prayerfully plan all his actions in detail and carried it out thoughtfully. He does not rush things on a hasty presumption that God is with him. He rarely does anything impromptu. He kept quiet about his grand vision of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem when he needed to. He boldly opens it up when it is right to do that. Did he do all these things by his own ideas without consulting God or asking the wisdom of the Spirit? I don’t think so. He didn’t take any single step without asking God first. I believe such collaboration of God and Nehemiah gives a very important lesson on how we work under God and with God. Trust God in everything you do. God is sovereign. He is free to do everything naturally or supernaturally. But the main “modus operandi” of God in our life is natural as we see in Nehemiah’s work of revival. Trust in God and ask God. He will give you wisdom, power, and strength. Then use the God-given wisdom, power, and strength to do the will of God. You will see that you are doing the great work in your ordinary daily life that you never expected to do. Are you ready to do the great work of God in your ordinary life?

 Christians should be nice and gentle. We want to be like Jesus who was meek and gentle. Christians should not be greedy. That is true too for we set our eyes on heaven, not on earth. Christians willingly laid down their wealth for the needy and the kingdom of God. Does that mean we Christians do not care for wealth and possessions? Shouldn’t we try to increase our wealth? Absolutely not! The patriarchs of the Bible such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all rich. Job, whom God praised as “the most righteous in the east”, was a man of great wealth. Being rich or having great wealth is very often considered as being blessed in the bible. God’s blessings can very often be material as well as spiritual. Yes, there are times that we should lay down our possessions for the kingdom of God. But there are also times that we have to ask God for possessions and positions for the kingdom of God. God gladly grants the request of His people. Caleb was a very godly person. He was one of the only two scouts who gave good reports on the promised land in faith and obedience to God. He followed the Lord wholeheartedly. Today we see him boldly demanding the hill country of Judaea as Joshua allots the conquered land to the tribes of Israel. We don’t exactly know why Caleb chose the hill country of Judaea. It was not the best land to conquer. The highly combatant Anakites were residing there in the fortified cities. But he is making a bold request of it to Joshua reminding Joshua of the promise of Moses. Joshua gladly grants his request. I believe Caleb’s action shows a good example of active and even aggressive nature of the Christian mind when it is for the kingdom of God. We shouldn't be greedy. But when it comes to the blessings that God has promised, we can and we have to actively lay our request before God. As far as I know, that doesn’t bother God at all. Jacob is not a praiseworthy person by any standard. But God blessed him mightily. Why? He had a strong desire for God’s blessings. He even wrestled with God for it. I believe that’s why God transformed him into Israel with abundant blessings upon his later life and his children. What do you want from God according to His promise? How firmly and strongly are you laying a request for it before God? God never forgets what He has promised. He is not bothered by bold and persistent requests of it. He will happily grant it. He just wants us to be another Caleb who wholeheartedly followed Him through young and old ages alike. Amen!

Joshua 14:9-12 

9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’   10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

 People are very concerned about how the new year will be. I heard that more people go to fortune tellers to ask about the future in the new year. How can a mere mortal know about the future? What can they do to change it even if they know what’s in store in our future? That’s absolute nonsense. We shouldn’t have anything to do with such foolish things. God only knows the future. Only God can determine our future. And God does not hide the secrets of blessings from people. He is rather eager to show how to be blessed to the people. Bible is full of such revelations of God to show us how to be blessed. Today’s psalm is one of such words of God that shows the secrets of God. This psalm talks about things that we are mostly concerned about as we enter into a new year such as children, finances, safety, and security. Most parents including myself are greatly concerned about their children. For many parents, children always come first in their prayers. The Psalm says that your children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. We wonder how. God gives a clear answer. Fear the Lord and find great delight in His commands. Most families and business people are concerned about their finances, especially when many things are so precarious like this year. The psalm gives a clear answer to that too. “Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.” Again, you wonder how. The answer can be found in the same truth. Honor God. Love and trust Him in everything you and your children do. Are you concerned about the security and safety of your family in this new year? We find the answer for concern too in this psalm. “Even in darkness light dawns for the upright.” But how? Be gracious and compassionate. Be righteous. Be generous and lend freely. You will never be shaken. In short, love God and love your neighbor as Jesus said. Become blessings to others first. Then you will be blessed. This is God’s formula of blessings for everybody. If you put these secrets to practice throughout the year, you will never be shaken. I pray that you are plentifully and bountifully blessed in this new year.

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,  who find great delight in his commands.
Their children will be mighty in the land;  the generation of the upright will be blessed.

 There is a great paradox in Christian life. They have two very contrasting characteristics that may often lead others to misunderstand. Some non-Christians belittle Christians as weaklings or cowards. They think that Christians have so much fear of life and death that they try to rely on the imaginary power of unreal God. What would be your answer to such accusations? I would say "They are absolutely wrong." Christians are neither weak nor coward by any human standard. I wouldn’t deny that Christians have some fears and weaknesses. But who does not have such fears? All people have similar fears and weaknesses. The difference is that Christians admit them humbly and honestly while others either hide or ignore them. The more crucial difference of Christians from others lies in that they personally know living God. Genuine Christians not only know God through the bible but they have constant personal interactions with Him daily. God is not a wishful being as some outsiders think. He is real, He is powerful. He is so loving. Knowing such God personally makes Christians live differently than others. Knowing God, they live Humbly, reverently and trustingly on the one hand, but joyfully, peacefully, and thankfully on the other hand. On the surface, they may look so insignificant, very modest, and somewhat selfless. But inside they have the joy unspeakable, the peace unheard of, and power and riches that the world never knew. I believe this is the paradoxical nature in a genuine belief that Apostle Paul is talking about in today’s passage. While he was preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, he was persecuted, imprisoned, and frequently beaten badly. He was even regarded as impostors by those who had no way of knowing what’s truly inside of him. Apostle Paul didn’t have any anger or hatred against the accusers and persecutors. He was rather at peace and joy. All that he prayed in the middle of constant waves of suffering and persecution was that they would someday share the same grace and joy of salvation that was inside of him. That must have been exactly what was on the heart of Jesus too. Jesus had nothing good or adorable outside in human eyes. He was despised and rejected. He was even crucified as a criminal. We now know what happened thereafter. The cross brought life to the dying world. It saves the whole world including many of those who accused and despised Him. It filled people's hearts with peace and love. How does your life appear to people? Does it embarrass you and frustrate you? But what’s inside in your mind? Do you have the joy, peace, and riches of God inside of you? Then you are more blessed than anyone. That’s what really matters in eternity. Be at peace with yourself. Share eagerly what’s in you with others. People are desperately in need of it.

One of the biggest mistakes of people is to put God in a box. This is not a mistake of ordinary people only. Even a great philosopher such as Immanuel Kant made the same mistake. He said that man should devote to things that can be reasoned within the framework of the human mind. If anything does not fit in the framework, we should discard it. This is a very rough representation of Kant's philosophy. But that's the main idea of his philosophy. The result is that he removed God from 
Man because God doesn't fit in the framework of man. I am not sure whether that was what Kant intended or not. But it is clear that such a man-centered mindset influenced the humanistic western culture. Job, despite his righteousness, made a similar mistake. He had his own box of ideas and experiences. He tried to understand God through his own framework. It didn't work. He couldn't fully understand what God does. That made him restless despite his faith in God. Finally, God breaks His silence. He began to speak to Job out of the storm. Basically what God said to Job was "why do you attempt to put me in your tiny box? I can never fit in there. ". Job, in the biggest storm of his life, complained and asked where was God. God Spoke in the storm as if He is saying that He was there all the time! What's your impression of this scene?

I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 God has created all men free and equal. That is the most foundational teaching of the Bible. All men are equal before God. But after sin entered into humanity, people began to make classes and segregate each other for selfish gains. A great majority of people fell victim to it. There has been a constant struggle to abolish segregation throughout history. We have made some progress. Minorities and outsiders gained access to some political rights that they had not enjoyed before. Many systematic segregations have been abolished or reduced. I personally believe that much progress has been made possible through the consistent preachings and proclamations of the biblical truth. The abolition of slavery in Britain and in America was certainly grounded on it. How could you miss the mind of God when He explicitly shows greater concern and compassion for the underprivileged and disregarded? We see God’s concern and compassion for the underprivileged throughout the bible. But what happened to the shepherds at the first Christmas certainly is the best example of such a compassionate heart of God. God has chosen shepherds who were living out in the field keeping watch over their flocks at night to be the first people to hear the good news of Christmas. Who were the shepherds? They were the outsiders of the time openly disregarded by the community. The fact that they were out in the field at night shows their place in the community clearly. They were not a respected or trusted group of people in the community. They were even not readily admitted to the temple worship. Was it because they were filthy and smelly because of their constant proximity to the sheep? I don’t know. But God has chosen them to hear the good news first as if they are the ones who need the Christmas message first and foremost. That’s the heart of God. That’s the heart of Christmas. Where do you find your place in your community? Are you one of those underprivileged or disregarded? Do you find it difficult to fit in? Are you not getting any respect from anybody? Do you feel as if you are out in the field at night alone? Then, the Christmas message is for you. God wants you to hear what the angel says to you, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you!”. God wants to surround you with His glory and peace. Now it‘s your turn to rejoice in the good news and tell it to the world like the shepherds at the first Christmas. Merry Christmas!

 There are so many unknown mysteries about life. I believe there are two main reasons behind it. First, people blinded by sin consciously or unconsciously ignore the truth of life that God has shown to us. So they wander around from darkness to another darkness. Secondly, I believe there are things that God has hidden from us perhaps to keep us humble. That’s what Deuteronomy 29:29 says. “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”. How should we live then? I believe Deuteronomy 29:29 already implies how we should live. Repent and turn away from your sin lest sin should blind you. Follow what has been revealed to you by God. Still for the hidden things, leave it to the Lord, trusting and persevering in Him. Life with faith is the best way of life for all men. It gives us salvation by the grace of God and joys and freedom that nothing of the world can give. But it doesn’t guarantee us worldly abundance or carefree life. In fact, many godly people live with huge lack in life. But do you despair for it? Not at all, if you have Christ. If you have the Son of God born of virgin Mary living in you, you have all the reasons to celebrate your life. I believe that is what the first Christmas miracle in Luke’s gospel tells us. Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive. and they were both very old. Why were such godly and righteous couples not able to conceive? We don’t know. They must have not known either. But they still loved the Lord and trusted in the Lord. God promised them a son through the angelic announcement. Obviously, that was a great miracle. The godly couple rejoiced in the miracle. But was the son all they had prayed for? And they were all satisfied with the son? I don’t think so. Yes, they must have prayed for a son. But I believe they prayed more for “The Son” who is the messiah. So the truly good news for them is not so much as the birth of John but the birth of Jesus. We can see such a mindset in them when Elizabeth met Mary. Luke 1:42-43 says, “ In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” How about us? Why do we rejoice in Christmas? Why do we celebrate it? Is it because of "a" son or because of "the" Son? That will truly make a huge difference in our life.

But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

Today’s title is “Brothers In Christ” 
 
 Christians often call each other brothers and sisters. This may look strange to outsiders. But it has a clear biblical and logical basis. Christians have one spiritual Father. Since we share the same father, it should be ok to call all the people who believe in God as their father brothers or sisters in God. Not only we Christians share the same Father, but we also share the same blood of the same savior. Because we share the same Father and the same blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, we share the same goal of life and similar lifestyle. So we can easily open up our hearts toward other Christians even if we never met them before. We feel brotherly love toward each other. Yes, we often argue with each other. The arguments and debates within us can sometimes be long and tiring. Noticing such divisiveness among Christians, outsiders often criticize us. We Christians need to work harder for unity. Still, the brotherhood among Christians far exceeds the divisiveness among us in my opinion. At least I have personally experienced far more brotherhood from other Christians than a divisive attitude. I often shared far greater intimacy than any others. We see such brotherly love demonstrated between the Jewish believers in Jerusalem and the newly converted gentile Christians outside Israel in today’s passage. In the letter that the apostles in Jerusalem wrote to the gentile believers, the apostles address themselves as “your brothers”. Their letter to the gentile believers is full of brotherly love toward the new gentile Christians. They reassured the new gentile Christians of the salvation and freedom in Christ. They painstakingly removed any spiritual hurdles for them. They even sent some of their own people to completely make sure of such confidence and care in them. The gentile believers who were once shaken by the false teachers read the letter and were greatly encouraged. Imagine how grateful those gentile Christians must have felt toward the apostles and believers in Jerusalem! Have you ever experienced such brotherly love from some Christians whom you never met before? I had countless times. A certain brother in Christ tried so hard to bring me back to Christ when I was backsliding. Another brother whom I met for the first time at a visiting church invited me to their house and shared a hot meal. It goes on and on. How about you? Have you also shared such brotherly love with other Christians? I am sure you have. But what about us? Are we also sharing such brotherly love with other Christians? Since we are indebted so much to the brotherly love of those nameless Christians, It is fitting that we do express the same brotherly love toward other Christian brothers and sisters whether we know them by a person or not. Are you showing such brotherly love?

1Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” 
 
 Today’s title is “Law Versus God” 
 
 Can you imagine a society without law? Absolutely not. Although the law has many different forms such as written law or unwritten law, every society or community has a law. But no law is perfect in itself. It can be abused and overused by ill-willed people. Jesus confronted and criticized such misuse of the law. In return, the people crucified the Son of God on the pretext of the law. They now criticized the new Christians who were saved by the grace of God for not abiding by the law. They even said that their salvation is void if the new converts do not comply with the law of Moses such as circumcision. Such teachings were in fact total denial of what Apostle Paul and Barnabas preached. They preached salvation by grace not by work or by keeping the law of Moses. Such false emphasis on the law of Moses enraged Paul and Barnabas. They had a sharp dispute with the false teachers. They would not give in. Then they brought the matter to the apostles in Jerusalem. Churches always have respected the apostles who had direct teachings from the Lord. These actions set a good precedence for all the churches to come. When a church has a controversial issue that they cannot resolve among themselves, a local church can bring it to the counsel of the more mature spiritual leaders. Such practices were developed into a system of church polities such as presbyteries and general assemblies later on. Out of such prudent consultation with the apostolic leaders came the great decision. Although there were some even in Jerusalem who argued that the new converts should be circumcised to be saved, the apostles said in conclusion, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” This is the first ever-made landmark official decision of the apostles for the gentile churches. It not only solves the issues at Antioch but also cleared the hurdles of the law for all the global churches and believers on and on. We respect the law in whatever form it may be. But we reject it if it stands in the ways of salvation that God had prepared for us. When a law denies or rejects the true God and His will, we are free from it. We are not saved by the law but by the grace of God. Amen!

Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Acts 15:1-2 and 6-11

1Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.  6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us

Acts 14:8-15 
 
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. 
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them. 
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 
 
 Today’s title is “God Or Sinner” 
 
 One of the most fundamental sins of humanity came from the desire to become like God. That was exactly what the Serpent said to Adam and Eve when it tempted them. In the dialogue between the woman and the serpent, the woman did not directly say that she wanted to be God. But her actions did say that. So we can say from this that sin was started when man harbored a wrongful desire to be like God. Doesn’t God like us to be like Him? That was what Serpent insinuated in tempting Adam and Eve to break the covenant with God. But is it true? The answer can be yes and no. It is true that no creature can become like God if becoming like God means assuming the creatorship and sovereignty of all. It only belongs to God the Creator. At the same time, God wants us to be like Him in many ways. He created us after His own image. He crowned us with glory and honor, power and authority like Him. So we often see god-likeness in man. But when a man is filled with such godliness or Christlikeness, he or she recognizes deep humility before God no matter how glorious or powerful he gets. I believe that’s exactly what was going on in today’s passage. God has given Paul His power and authority. With power and authority, Paul performed supernatural healing. He raised the lame who had never walked from birth. The Greeks believed that Such power only belongs to God. Therefore, Paul and Barnabas must be gods in their minds. When Paul and Barnabas heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: “We too are only human, like you.”. Surely Paul and Barnabas didn’t want to God or like God as the serpent tempted. They knew they are wretched sinners like anybody else. They were just happy to be sinners saved by true God. They wanted everybody else to be like them. That was the gospel message that they proclaimed everywhere. Did you ever want to be like God? I believe we all should. I want to be like God and like Christ in so many ways. I want to be righteous, pure, wise, and loving like God. Yes, I want to be filled with glory and power like Him. But what’s even more clear to me is that I am a wretched sinner. I am just glad that God forgave me for all my sins and still loves me. How about you? What do you want to be, God or sinner?

“Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

 The Bible says “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20:16). This is one of the bible verses that make believers, especially those who believed for a long time uneasy. But some would say, It is just a paradoxical statement. Is it? What do you think? From my own pastoral experience, the statement is more than just paradoxical. I have seen so many real cases of the last becoming first. Fresh newcomers in the vineyard of God often excel the old residents of the vineyard in many areas. They often have greater and fresher gratitude for God’s grace than the old residents who somehow are taking it for granted. They are often more eager to listen to the voice of God. They are also more open to God’s words than those old residents who are riddled with many prejudices. We see this unlikely law of last becoming first practically applied in today’s passage. When Paul and Barnabas preached gospel Pisidian Antioch, the Gentiles received the good news gladly. The Bible says, “On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord”. But the Jews showed the opposite response. “When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him.”. Why would the Jews resist the good news of God so much? Obviously, they were still bound by the law of Moses. They might still have a sense of superiority to gentiles. They might have thought that without circumcision no gentiles can be saved. But Gentiles were without those prejudices. They could just see Jesus as was preached by Paul and Barnabas. That’s a great advantage in coming to Jesus. So what should we do if we are already in the vineyard? We should keep the fresh gratitude to the Lord’s grace never taking it for granted. We should never consider ourselves higher than others. In short, we should keep the mindset of the last no matter how long we have been in the vineyard. That’s why Apostle Paul said in the 1st Timothy 1: 15, “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.” I believe that was how Paul kept his fresh passion for Jesus to the last minute. He was the last until the last minute. How about you? Can you truly say like Paul “You are the worst”? Then Jesus truly came to save you! Amen!

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,

 Today’s title is “Preaching Christ Only” 
 
 Jesus took His disciples to Caesarea Philippi at the last phase of His public ministry. In today’s language, it was a sort of spiritual retreat for them before He was crucified. There He asked disciples the famous questions. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” “Who do you say I am? Why do you think that Jesus asked such questions at such a critical moment? Was Jesus overtly interested in how popular He was among the people? Absolutely not! Jesus intentionally avoided those who followed Him with overenthusiastic zeal after witnessing His power and authority. He kept refusing the request of His supporters to take over the political power of Israel when His popularity among the people reached its peak. Then why did he ask such questions? The answer is rather simple and obvious. He wanted people to have the right knowledge of Him. Knowing Jesus right is the key to all the spiritual knowledge. In Him lies salvation. In Him, we find the truth. By knowing Him, we know God. So knowing Jesus right is Indeed the alpha and omega of our life. But even Christians and even church leaders such as pastors and preachers often forget it. One of the most repeated training that I have received through the seminary training was to preach Christ. Why did the seminaries do that? It is because they know that preachers often forget it. As a young preacher, I confess I often made such mistakes. I sort of took Jesus for granted in my preaching and indulged in something else. But as I have more experience as a preacher, I came to understand why the rugged old professors stressed it. There is nothing that touches souls like Christ. No persuasion oratorical skills can change hearts and souls. It only tickles the ears of the people. Listening to Jesus such as who He is, what He has said, what He has done, and what He is doing touches and moves our hearts and souls like nothing else. We call it Christ-centered preaching. We see it in the preaching of the apostles. We see this in Peter’s preaching. We see it here in apostle Paul’s preaching. It is all about Him. A genuinely converted soul like Paul has an insatiable desire for Jesus. That is probably the hallmark of our spiritual health. How about you? Do you have such an insatiable desire for Jesus? Does His name still move your soul and heart? Then, you must be spiritually healthy.

23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, 24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall. 26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him. 30 When the believers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. 
 Today’s title is “Flying On A Basket” 
 
 When you become a Christian saved by God’s grace, you will see some dramatic changes in your life. You see something you never experienced to see. You live a lifestyle that you never imagined before. You find something irresistibly joyous and ecstatic in the things that you previously presumed to be boring and tedious. I remember a comment from a man who used to enjoy worldly pleasures such as drinking and frolicking. He said, “I never knew before that I can be so happy and joyous without drinking”. Yes, a genuine Christian who was born again in Christ will find greater joy and delight than he has never had before. Indeed he will see a new heaven and earth. At the same time, they will meet new challenges which they would never experience apart from Christ. AS quick and strong was Paul’s passion for the gospel, so was the conspiracy and threat against him. After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him. They kept a close watch on the city gates in order to kill him day and night. Paul wasn’t able to go through the gate. But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall. Has Paul ever imagined that he would be lowered in a basket through an opening in the wall before? Of course not. But as we all know, this was just the beginning of his Christian life that would go through many more challenges and crises including in the city of Jerusalem. What was your Christian life experience so far? It may not have been as dramatic as Paul’s. But no Christian can be completely free from similar challenges and crises like Paul’s at all. It only varies in intensity. What was the greatest challenge and crisis in your Christian life? Did you ever go through a crisis where you have to go flying on a basket? Don’t just think that it will never happen to you. It can. It will. Just be sure that you will be safely lowered from the crisis and be lifted up in the end to the safe haven. Amen!
