항상 함께 있으리라

I will confess my faith. You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Now is the time to receive grace and to receive salvation.

I believe that we must receive grace right today, at this very moment.

I hope you receive the greatest grace today.

God is looking for worshipers.

And, wherever the worshipper went, He prepared worship.

Today, we, the worshipers, use God through worship and the Word on the Sunday.

And, you come to find the prayer topics given by God.

It will be a week of finding and fulfilling the mission given by God.

Therefore, it is very important for us to stand before God.

We must stand before God today.

You will find God's will and plan.

If you seek God's plan and will and align your life of faith with them, answers will surely come.

Since God's plan and will are my plan and will, an answer is bound to come.

Therefore, I hope you receive an answer today through the life of faith and worship that God truly desires.

He wants us to live the life of faith that God desires first, before living a life of faith that we enjoy.

Please focus on the Word, seek it through prayer, and find your mission.

Today's scripture is the last message of the Gospel of Matthew.

This is the Great Commission that Jesus gave us.

This is the command given prior to the words entrusted to the disciples left on this earth.

The characteristic of the four Gospels, including the Gospel of Matthew that we are reading, is that they present a missionary vision at the end.

The Gospel of Matthew ends with the command to make disciples of all nations. The Gospel of Mark concludes with the command to witness the gospel to all people.

Jesus was with those who preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, and things happened that He testified to.

The Gospel of John healed and restored Peter, who had denied Jesus and was in frustration and despair.

But it did not end there; He gave John a mission. He gave him the mission to feed the four lambs.

He concluded by giving this mission.

In the case of the Gospel of Luke as well, He spoke of waiting for the promised Holy Spirit.

The sequel to the Gospel of Luke is the Acts of the Apostles, which records the responses between missions.

For the children of God saved through Jesus Christ, missions become the meaning of their existence.

This Great Commission, mission, is the reason for our existence.

Today's text, Matthew 28, begins with the resurrection of Jesus and moves on to the background of the mission.

It may be viewed as a simple chronological arrangement, but it contains something very important.

That is precisely the point: missions cannot be accomplished by our own strength, ability, or will.

Mission is empowered by the power of the resurrected Jesus Christ.

However, today I do not intend to talk about missions.

When Jesus conveys this message, He says that He will be with you until the end of the world.

Before evangelism and missions, the most important key to carrying out these evangelism and missions is being together.

I hope you realize the secret of this 'togetherness'.

How can you fulfill this great mission?

What would it be like if the resurrected Jesus were with me?

What do you think it would be like if the resurrected Jesus were with you?

How do you live a life of faith?

Please check the answer regarding this.

Let's get to the main point.

Please look at today's scripture, verses 18 through 20.

This is the last mission Jesus left to His disciples.

So, looking at it so far, the expression "you guys go" has been there from the beginning.

Because it says "go," most people think of missions as sending people out.

I must go because I have a disciple.

He told me to go because I have a disciple.

Isn't it only by going that we can meet our disciples?

However, if we actually look at Jesus' words, the core lay in discipleship training.

What Jesus left behind on this earth during His public ministry was not a crowd, but His disciples.

Mission is not just about sending and going; the core of mission is raising absolute disciples of Jesus Christ.

The most important aspect of evangelism and missions is consistency, which is why we raise disciples.

I believe that evangelism and missions will continue when disciples just like you are raised up.

Therefore, we must do this continuously so that the Kingdom of God continues to expand.

However, this is very much connected to God's way.

Do you know what God’s only way is to evangelize this land?

God does His work through people and through disciples.

I believe that God will do His work through you, the disciples of Jesus Christ.

Please believe until the end.

Then, how can we fulfill this mission?

Before Jesus spoke of this mission, there is something He proclaimed to His disciples.

These are the words God spoke to you before sending you to the field.

I have given you all authority in heaven and on earth.

And in the end, I will always be with you, my disciples, until the end of the world.

This is what our Lord promised.

It means that Christ, who holds all authority in heaven and on earth, is always with us in the field of evangelism and missions.

We are never going alone.

Our Lord is walking with us.

Whenever I go out into the field, whenever I do evangelism and missions, I say, "Let's go together with the Lord."

A missionary sent by our military has arrived, so please pray for their safe journey back.

We will always be together there.

Having the Lord with you will be a blessing and a happiness.

We believe that when we mention Jesus Christ, we must believe that the Lord is with us.

As you enjoy this secret of the Lord's presence, the evidence comes to pass.

The real evidence is not what I did, but what I did with the Lord.

That is the real thing.

I believe that Jesus, who holds all authority in heaven and on earth, will become a reassuring story for all of us.

I believe it will be a strong support for all evangelists.

If the Lord is our background, isn't that the end of it?

There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

There is absolutely no need to hesitate.

If the Lord tells you to go, you just need to go.

The Lord will go with you.

There will surely be a disciple.

I have no choice but to tell him to go because he has a disciple.

The Lord will fulfill our mission with us.

However, the important thing is not just talking about evangelism and missions.

Whatever we say, we are not talking only about the life of faith.

We are beings whose very existence is fragile.

There are many times when I think of myself as insignificant.

It shakes easily and falls over.

So please do not try to work hard at anything.

First of all, before embarking on an important mission, we believe that we must always return to the basics and foundations.

Today, I am not going to talk about evangelism and missions.

You must understand that it is to restore the faith to be with the Lord.

While it is important to make disciples of all nations, we must remember that the Lord is always with us.

You must enter into that with.

You cannot even do small things before there is something important.

Naturally, world evangelization is the reason and purpose of life.

You will carry out world evangelization, but there is such a thing as small work, and within it lies my own small world evangelization. We must bear this responsibility.

To do this, you must enter into the secret of being together with the Lord.

Please remember and confess Jesus every day.

Whatever happens, please do it after confessing in the name of the Lord.

You must enjoy the fact that the One who holds authority over heaven and earth is always with you, anytime, anywhere, and in any situation.

I believe I should continue to enjoy the fact that this person is my reliable support.

If we do not enjoy the fact that the Lord, who is Christ, is with us, we are bound to always encounter limitations.

If you cannot actually enjoy this, everything becomes a burden.

And then, later on, he says that giving up is not an option.

You must not miss the secret of the Lord being with you.

You must remember the fact that it is God, not I, who does it.

May the Lord work with you, and may you hold onto this as a covenant.

It is not I who do it, but He who does it.

To the person next to me, it is not I who do it, but the Lord who does it.

Therefore, it is important for us to keep returning to the basics.

Evangelism is not something you do, but something that happens.

Wouldn't the word also be fulfilled?

Everything will work out.

The life of faith is something that is fully accomplished.

Please keep in mind the important background of how this is achieved as you enjoy your life of faith.

Looking at the past, did not the Lord do it all?

Did you do everything that led to evangelism and missions in the field?

All of this was done by the Lord.

This is a real confession.

For young children, especially Yein, there is nothing to worry about if Mom and Dad are with them.

Would our Yein worry about money? Would she worry about what she will eat to live?

Does that child worry about the economy? Does he watch TV and realize that the world is difficult and in chaos?

For a child like this, everything is fine as long as they are with their mom and dad.

It is okay even if the world is noisy and chaotic, and my finances are not going well. God takes care of everything.

God knows all your circumstances.

I hope you enjoy a fulfilling life of faith.

The most important thing is that you must not be trapped within your own limitations.

The problem is that our church is constantly trapped in a negative framework, thinking that things won't work.

What problem would it be for the One who holds all authority in heaven and on earth?

I hope you move forward with clear conviction and focus on the field.

We have important things ahead of us.

I believe that we must do our best with small things before big things.

Although we are about to begin the construction of the temple, we believe that we must be guided step by step.

If we struggle with this important task or try to do it by our own strength, it will only become more difficult.

The Lord is with us.

I hope you enjoy the fact that the Lord is with you in all things.

Please believe that God will pass by and bring it to a close.

Truly, everyone, while we must stay awake and pray, I hope you will truly stand before God.

Secondly, you must enjoy the blessing of Immanuel.

Immanuel means that God will always be with me.

God with us. This is the very meaning of Immanuel.

This is the greatest gift and answer God has given us.

Among the countless promises in the Bible, the most precious and important promise is Immanuel.

Jesus came to this earth to fulfill the promise to be with us.

It is to come to cursed humans who have forgotten that they are with God. That is precisely Immanuel.

He called those He desired, and He called them simply to be with them.

This together signifies the fulfillment of a promise.

In the Book of Acts as well, when the day of Pentecost arrived, the Holy Spirit came.

The Holy Spirit will transcend time and space and be with us along with the secrets of the throne.

May you enjoy the blessings of being together.

I hope you enjoy being together.

We are now enjoying His presence with us.

We must not forget that we are currently enjoying being with the Lord.

I hope you truly experience it in the Word, worship, and prayer.

So then, God says that He has His own way.

Compared to God, we were so weak, and looking at reality, it seemed like nothing would work out.

Looking at our current level, these are all completely impossible tasks.

Seeing us like that, God told us to go.

Everyone, I wouldn't mind if you had told us to go after seeing outstanding people or such moments, but even though we are lacking and weak, you have told us to go nonetheless.

It is fine to go, but the point is to make all nations your disciples.

Wouldn't that be impossible given our circumstances?

There may be extremely difficult work and situations, but they are telling us to do it.

He has told us to fulfill this gospel on this earth, which He fully accomplished through Jesus and which is a characteristic of how God works.

In other words, God desires to fulfill this gospel through His disciples.

"Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

The thorough method of Jesus is you and me.

Please do not look at the environment or reality. If we keep looking at it, we will quickly become weak and inevitably collapse.

I hope you continue to move forward while enjoying the secret of God's 'with'.

Our Lord knows our circumstances. Please believe.

You just need to believe in God's covenant. Living a life of faith is not difficult.

If you believe, God will do it for you.

I hope your faith is restored.

There is no greater way than the way of Emmanuel.

It may be faint now, but God will help you believe step by step.

What happens if you enjoy a shared secret?

That power of God becomes my power.

Therefore, we can go forward as ambassadors of Christ.

As an ambassador of Christ who possesses that ability, I merely carry out the work of Christ on His behalf.

David did not go with skill and talent either.

In 1 Samuel chapter 17, David said, "They came to me with sword and javelin, but I came with the LORD of hosts."

You just need to go forward in the name of God. You just need to go forward with God who is with you.

Isn't it a really big help?

Can God be with me and go with me?

Amen?

We might continue doing this and think that world evangelization does not suit us.

Please do not be deceived.

Nevertheless, I will evangelize the world.

I want to evangelize the world.

You will receive the answer to world evangelization.

World evangelization will take place.

Through these words, I gained a realization that is truly correct and fulfilled.

Now for the conclusion.

It is the Lord who said He would always be with us until the end of the world.

We may not be able to meet all 237 nations and 5,000 ethnic groups, but with the Lord, we can move forward toward those empty places.

You can move forward toward the empty spaces of the summit and the empty spaces within the world.

I am not going alone. The Lord is always with me.

The core of power is Christ.

We can receive all power and covenants through Christ.

I hope this time will be a time when you are always with the Lord.

I hope this message is heard and experienced throughout the week.

Thank God.

Thank you for letting us know and realize through your Word that you are always with us.

Please let us enjoy the secret of being together, who is always with us in every field this week as well.

Therefore, please let my life be lived within the evangelism and missions that God carries out. Please let me see the field where there is much evidence.

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
