Yes, today, let's take a look at the theme of Noah's Ark, the Ten Commandments, and Dara from the textbook. For the intro, let's read the Bible verse, share the story of Winter Sonata, and then talk about Elsa and Anna. When we talk about Anna, we will discuss how Elsa, who melted Anna, showed sacrificial love, and also talk about Anna's sacrificial love. It would be nice to discuss if there are any love stories similar to this. Just like this sacrificial love, Jesus showed us sacrificial love by giving His life for us. It would be good to see if there are any memorable moments in our lives that made us realize this kind of love. It may be similar to the main text. By discussing sacrificial love like this.

Such sacrificial individuals are embraced in Christianity as recipients of Jesus' love. It would be nice to share these things once. Jesus, who is walking towards death, reads the passage from the Gospel of Mark today. Let's summarize the words Jesus said to his disciples and fill in the blanks. They will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later, he will rise. The disciples misunderstood the story about Jesus' political victory and requested positions of power, misunderstanding it as positions of kingship and authority. These words angered the other disciples, but in fact, they also harbored similar hopes in their hearts. The disciples at that time had such feelings. It seemed like Jesus was...

When Jesus, the prophet whom God has spoken of and the only king of Judea, returns, I thought the world would be turned upside down. Here, by saying the world will be turned upside down, I thought that when Jesus comes, He will overturn the hierarchy. So, I thought that Jesus would now have some political victory, like becoming a president or something. Because at that time, there was the Roman Emperor, and when Jesus comes, He would defeat the Roman Emperor, take over the kingship, and then, according to that kingship, assign each disciple a position. Like, Peter, you will be a minister, James, you will be in charge of Israel, interpreting Jesus' coming as just some kind of political victory. But the victory Jesus talks about is different from a victory in the political world.

It was not about gaining power but serving. How did Jesus explain the meaning of his death to his disciples? In verse 45, he says he did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Let's read the scripture. Jesus threatened the religious leaders by healing and caring for the oppressed and marginalized people throughout his life. He took on the punishment for their sins in his death instead of condemning them. Therefore, those who lived as sinners, unable to be righteous anymore, gained freedom by repenting to God. While earthly leaders oppress people and start wars, the true leader, Jesus, chose to sacrifice himself on the cross to serve and save his people.

Let's listen to the words of Jesus on the cross. So, Jesus healed and restored the poor, oppressed, and marginalized people. However, due to the original sin and the brokenness of the world, everyone is suffering in such a society. It's not just the people of Israel who experience these things, but all of humanity is caught in this suffering. Therefore, in order to restore all of humanity, those people need to be rescued from the suffering, the torment, and the fear of death that Satan forces them into. In order for these people to gain freedom from suffering, oppression, and to obtain true freedom, they needed to be rescued from the influence of Satan that torments and oppresses them. For example, in movies...

Villains attack ordinary citizens, and there are heroes representing humanity who rescue those citizens. The reason why humanity suffers is because of certain villains who torment people, causing chaos in society, disrupting order, and trying to achieve their own desires. To break free from the suffering caused by these villains, the villains need to disappear. That way, people can find freedom. Just like there is a villain called Satan who uses sin to plunge humanity into suffering, but when Jesus comes and defeats Satan, humanity can finally obtain freedom. As the suffering caused by sin comes to an end, if you understand it this way, then...

It feels comfortable, right? Next, we have achieved the third one. Read it again. How is the atmosphere of the scene of Jesus' death described in the text of 3 John? Let's imagine that you are at the scene. How do you feel? It would be good to read the text of 3 John once and stimulate your imagination a bit. By looking at the scenes where Jesus is being taken away, where he is drinking the sour wine, and where he is taking his last breath, it would be good to observe those appearances. You can also find scenes like Jesus being crucified in The Passion of the Christ on YouTube. If you see those images clearly, wouldn't it help you understand better? If it's too cruel or if you can't watch scenes with blood, you can skip them or just imagine them.

What was the last word that Jesus left before he returned? In John 19:30, it says, It is finished. Why did he say this? It might be interesting to look at this part once. It would be good to imagine why he said such words, why he said everything was finished. After that, let's refer to the text written by Paul in Romans 5 to summarize what Jesus accomplished through his death on the cross. Let me read verses 8, 9, and 10 for you. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son,

When Christ died for us, we were reconciled with God. Once we are reconciled, it is even more certain that we will obtain God's life. Now, Paul is expressing that Jesus died on the cross for us on behalf of God's love for us. In fact, it is to prove that God loves us. So, from the beginning, sin cannot coexist with God. Therefore, we continue to live in a state of separation from God. We live in this world, but God sent Jesus to restore our relationship. Sending Jesus was to reconcile God and us through His death for our sins. So, now in verse 9, we are justified by the blood of Christ. We have become innocent. We used to be sinners, but now we are reconciled with God.

It is broken, and in the Christian worldview, we are called sinners because of sin. We are distant from God, living self-centered lives apart from His will, leading to problems. Therefore, we define ourselves as sinners who cannot be free from those problems. We are clearly sinners, but Jesus received an innocent verdict by dying for us. So, to give an analogy, let's say I did something wrong, committed a crime, and was sentenced to death. Kim Namjoo, you have committed a merciless act and are sentenced to death. That was the kind of sin I was condemned for. But when Jesus came, He turned my sin around. Ah, Namjoo, I will take the punishment for you, so live freely again. I will die in place of the prisoner, me, who is guilty.

Jesus came to me and said, I will die instead, I will take the death sentence instead, so by accepting it, something will reach you, so it says that we will obtain salvation from God's wrath. So, anyway, God is angry at our sinful, wicked hearts that do not live according to His will, so God is angry. Therefore, God turns away from sin and desires us to return to Him. We keep resisting and rebelling against God, trying to move away from Him, and such a life makes God continuously angry, calling us to return now. Christ died for us, knowing Christ's love, we have returned to God. So, we turn back to God.

We are saying that we have been saved. So, we were enemies of God, and now, our relationship with God is broken. Oh, I will no longer be God. If you don't want to live with God, you come to the Garden of Eden. In the book of Galatians, it says that Christ died. Even though we became enemies of God and each other, God sent His Son Jesus, and that Son took on the sins of our humanity. We say that Jesus died for us, the sins were forgiven, and now we have a reconciled relationship with God. After being reconciled, it is even more certain to receive salvation through God's life. A reconciled life with God means living again following Christ. So, for example, if we fought with a friend, we fought, we reconciled, but then I keep touching on something of my friend.

Continuously blocking and opposing the opinions of that friend, not agreeing with them when they suggest doing things together, not helping when the friend is going through a hard time - that's not the attitude of someone who has reconciled. If you have reconciled, you should work on restoring these relationships. If you had conflicts with friends before, ignored their words, and only thought about yourself, then trying to have a conversation again is necessary. If you decided not to hang out with a friend anymore, but then reconciled, you should interact with them again in a friendly manner. Reconciliation means returning to the way things were. In the beginning, we were created in the relationship within God. Humanity was made within the safety of God's relationship. Therefore, our efforts are to return to that relationship. That is true reconciliation - restoring the relationship with God.

Hwahai, so when we live this kind of life, receiving salvation again is a very certain thing. Repentance is not just about knowing God, right? In relationships like that, there are things, you know. For example, if you had a fight with a friend, you know you should reconcile with them, but you don't. There are things like this, right? So, knowing in your head that you should reconcile, but not doing it, right? You know you should resolve it with this person, right? You know you should resolve it, but there is pride and something like, Let's not resolve it. This kind of state is not reconciliation. So, it's not just about resolving it in your head; you have to go back. You have to apologize, say sorry, and take action. I was really harsh back then, I'm sorry. I was really wrong back then, and then we can start over.

Let's go back to the past relationship. Let's restore the relationship we cut off and return to that relationship. Going back to such a relationship is reconciliation. So, reconciliation should accompany life. With that knowledge, you know, Ah, right, God loves me. I reconciled with God. It doesn't end there. My life should continue in reconciliation, living a life that triggers reconciliation. I should live a life turning away from sin, and if I have distanced myself from sin, I should continue to reconcile with God. Ultimately, it's about having a personal relationship with God. Let's move on to the next connection. Jesus died for people, so now people, instead of being labeled as sinners, receive the judgment of being righteous. As I mentioned earlier, just like the metaphor of a death row inmate, those who were once death row inmates can now reconcile with God. Rebels ultimately face death, but those who are now acknowledged as innocent, are acknowledged as innocent.

Those who have made peace with God no longer stay in death but receive life, knowing the price of sin is death. This verse can be found in Romans 6:23. It says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Sin leads to death, but a life following God leads to eternal life. We have now received a verdict of innocence from sin. Therefore, we should live this life. However, even if we commit sin and receive a verdict of innocence, we may still be released and able to do wrong again. When we see many news reports and criminals, there are repeat offenders and 17-time offenders.

Even after receiving such a verdict more than ten times and not turning back, continuing to do wrong things and receiving more sentences, that's how one's guilt accumulates. So even though we have received a verdict of innocence, we could still fall back into the path of sin. That's why we must continue to live a life of repentance to God, in order to truly obtain freedom from our sins. Therefore, we must keep moving forward with a reconciling life to gain life, that's what it means to gain life. Just because we have obtained freedom from sin doesn't mean it ends there. Just because we believe in God doesn't mean it ends there. We must continue to believe in God and live a reconciling life. Living a life of reconciling with neighbors, reconciling with God, restoring and reconciling with the world and the environment, participating in a life of reconciliation is participating in life.

Believing in Christ is not the end of believing in God. So if we end here, the possibility of rebuilding this relationship increases. Therefore, believing means that if we do wrong again, it means living. I believe in God, but I want to live according to my desires. Oh, I want to live according to my will rather than God's. How can this be a life of repentance? How can this be a life of eternal life? It means going back to a life of death. Furthermore, Jesus broke down the barrier of distrust and hatred between people, allowing them to understand and love each other with a new heart. He accomplished all this through death on the cross, saying, It is finished, as He took His last breath. Therefore, Jesus' purpose was to restore the broken relationship between God and humanity. God and I, God and humanity, and

Through the death on the cross, Jesus took on the sins of humanity on behalf of us in Christianity. He forgave our sins and thus, by taking on the sins, Jesus was now declared innocent. Therefore, we were reconciled with God, and as a result of this restored relationship, Jesus broke down the barriers of distrust and walls in our hearts between love and people. He gave us new hearts to understand and love each other. It means that we entered the path of restoration. So, Jesus accomplished everything. Ah, now I have reconciled God and humanity by taking on the sins of humanity on behalf of God and humanity. I have completed my task. I have achieved everything. This is what he said. So, it would be good for you to consider how the cross is approaching and the meaning of the cross.

Please read the words of love in Romans and the Gospel of John. In Romans 6, how does Paul express God's love revealed through Jesus? Let's read. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus. We cannot be separated from God's love in Jesus. Because of God's love, we can overcome everything and remain victorious. Ultimately, it can be said that we were able to obtain freedom from sin through God's love. Now, God wants to call us back. Let's go back to that time. He keeps reaching out his hand like this. But the basis of his is love. Now, God continues to extend the path of love. He has a vision to restore the world with humanity and now Jesus takes away our sins and dies. But the most important thing in Christianity is love.

It's resurrection again. The fact that He resurrected itself means that death is the punishment for sin, right? If we are humans, we all die. We all know that humans die. There is this premise that everyone dies. But Jesus conquered death. His resurrection ultimately overcame death. It was God who sent Jesus and saved humanity like this. The love that ultimately enables us to overcome sin is the love of God. Therefore, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus. In the end, without the love of Christ, we will all be cut off. Being cut off means being cut off from any relationship, emotional detachment, family disconnection, or some kind of social alienation. Sin ultimately isolates and alienates people, making them lonely.

I keep making and continuously breaking it, so that this person cannot connect, and therefore, living alone, just ends up dying like this. We are so used to that now, right? Just because someone is alive doesn't mean they are truly living. We can also face death relationally. So, if I cut off all relationships, then I am no different from a dead person in society. If I cut off all relationships in social connections, and if I have been cut off from work, and economically, if I have lost something, financially everything has been cut off like this, my livelihood has been cut off. It can be in the realm of a certain kind of death. Such relational death, economic death, or even the death of life, they all make everything break apart. Ultimately, all our networks are...

God's love is relentless. Even when we were sinners, God kept calling us. His love never ceased, no matter what we did. God's love has never been cut off, He kept calling us. Therefore, God's love is great, faithful, unchanging. Do you believe that God will love us steadfastly in any situation? Let's honestly talk about it. Now, I would like to hear your stories of experiencing God's love. Have you ever had experiences where God loved you to the end? What about God?

Even in such situations, you searched for me, and even in the darkest times of my life, God loved me, and this community that remembers God's love in this way called me again. I think I can share stories like this. In the Gospel of John, Chapter 8, John, who wrote the Gospel of John, says that God sent Jesus because He loved the world. According to him, what happens when we believe in Jesus? In John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. There are two meanings of eternal life mentioned in Christianity. One is that after death, we will have heaven. So, the first eternal life means that even if we die, we will live forever.

One thing, living eternally in me. The second meaning of eternal life is, so, living here on this earth. Living in Christ means no longer needing to follow the culture of this world, no need to be swept away by the world, not living according to the ways of sin, but living as human beings should in following the path of Christ. This can be seen as the kingdom of God. Therefore, relationships are restored, and we live a life of restoring others, the joy of living as a community, freedom from living according to the structures of the world. These are another form of eternal life. Ultimately, if we live extremely according to the ways of the world, we will face a certain death in our lives.

In a way, it seems like emotional death is the biggest thing overall. In the world right now, of course, due to the culture of certain workplaces, there are certainly people who commit suicide or die, but generally, what we experience is emotional death. Somehow, our working hours are long, relationships with people are drying up, becoming more individualistic, egoistic, and selfish, cutting off everything, and eventually turning into a society where everyone is isolated. So, isn't this kind of thing a form of emotional death? Isn't it the path to emotional death? Therefore, what is saved from such a life is eternal life. It is what we can experience in life now, that's what eternal life is. Next, let's read the outro, can I replace the lamb with Jesus.

The cross is a solid proof that God loves us. What we need is to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, who died on the cross for us. We should believe in Him, who was crucified and rose again, and trust in Him for blessings. More than anything else, we should value Jesus and follow Him. When we decide to follow Him, we receive the gift of eternal life. Through the death on the cross, Jesus has given us the gift of reconciliation with God, a heart to serve and love the world, and eternal life. Will you accept this gift? I think faith in Christ arises when we accept that God loves us. As I mentioned earlier, I compared myself to a death row inmate. If I were to receive the death penalty, would there really be someone to take that punishment instead of me? Among all humanity, including my family, would there really be someone to take it on my behalf?

I won't receive the death penalty in place of someone else, but in a way, Jesus took the sins that we should have died for upon Himself. I don't know how big of a feeling that is coming closer. Oh right, let me give you another analogy. While crossing the street, suddenly a drunk driver comes speeding towards you. So now, you are standing here, and the drunk driver is coming straight at you. At that moment, Jesus says, Be careful, pushes you out of the way, and gets hit by the car instead. He dies. How would you feel now? If someone was about to be hit by a car, but instead of them, someone else got hit and died, how would you feel? But that was intentional. What emotions do you feel? I feel very sorry.

I am so grateful, how can I repay the grace? I should have died in your place, originally I should have been punished and died, but instead, you died in my place. How should I repay that kind of love? I feel like I should have that kind of heart. That's why the love of Jesus that came to me was that kind of love. It seems like that kind of love. After dying in my place, I am living with gratitude for that grace. That's why Jesus left a will before he died. He said to me, I hope you live not as a sinner, but in the love of Christ and God. He left that wish, so naturally, I have no choice but to follow that will. The person who saved my life cannot just leave without a will. It's this kind of heart. When he dies, he left that inheritance for me. He said, I hope you live a life like Christ. I hope you believe in God and live together on this eternal path.

I wish I could live as a child of God. I feel like there is a message like that to me. It would be nice to think about such things and discuss them with the members. Okay, that's it for today. See you next time.
