25, August, 2023, Friday. The Way of Salvation and the Way of Answers(Luke 3:1~6)   As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him."(4) Hymn #148 On Calvary's Brow My Savior Died(Unified Hymn 142)   You just need to be within "The Way of Salvation" and the way of answers. The Bible states, "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." This means that Jesus equally grew spiritually, physically, socially, and intellectually. This is an example regarding how to teach Remnants. Jesus said, "Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist."(Matthew 11:11) As a part of the tribe of priests, he baptized repentance while living in the empty field(Matthew 3:15 & Luke 3:21~22). Before Jesus came him to be baptized, John had said, "He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie." To that, Jesus said, "You and I will fulfill God's righteousness." When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, and God said, "This is my Son, whom I love." Why was John the Baptist such a great person? 1. Calling for Repentance That Had Never Been Done Before   Because of the powerful nation of Rome, great political turmoil came to Israel. At that time, John the Baptist said, "Repent." The sin that's mentioned in the Bible is leaving God and escaping sin is repentance. Because Israel would soon perish, John the Baptist said, "Be baptized and repent." 2. Christ Is Testified for the Very First Time(Luke 3:4~5)   John the Baptist was the first to testify of Christ. He said, "Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth." Simply put, he prepared the way for Christ to come. People must discard their pride and unbelief and accept Christ. 3. A Church That Doesn't Exist on Earth   By creating a church that doesn't exist on earth, a way for all people to come must be prepared(Luke 3:6). God got rid of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd temples because they were full of idols and didn't have the three courtyards.   The age of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday has come. It must be made so that multiethnic people from the 237 nations and Remnants can come to rest and gain strength. In addition, a "platform" for "The Throne's Blessings" to be established, a "watchtower" to prevent disasters, and an “antenna" for prayer must be made for them as well. When the members of the Early Church and Paul did these works, God gave all blessings to them. [Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, in this age, thank you calling me as Your most blessed child. Please bless me so that I don't live like an unbeliever who only holds onto what's incorrect and fails. Please open my spiritual eyes and grant me strength. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen. Immanuel Church SUnday Worship, 2nd Service / 07, August, 2022.
