♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #270 Let Us Sing of His Love Once Again (#214 in previous version)

Every day, we encounter so many people, including family, friends, bosses, and teachers. We begin and end each day by interacting with others. What is God’s plan for each meeting? What is the content of the covenant that we must relay to everyone we meet?

1. Exclusivity of the Word

There may be tens of thousands of problems in the world, but there is only one answer. This is the mystery of “only” found in the Word of God. Problems may be varied, but they are all consequences of leaving God. There is no other solution except Jesus Christ. When we know this truth accurately and enjoy it, we will receive the answer of the fulfillment of God’s Word. Additionally, when we hold onto the evidence that Jesus is the Christ in our lives, we can relay this mystery to others we meet.

2. My only

Peter had many lackings, but he proclaimed the Gospel to all people and even raised a paralytic solely through the faith of believing in Jesus Christ. Paul also knew that the treasures of all wisdom and knowledge were hidden in Christ and He confessed that all worldly things were rubbish. They both discovered the exclusive and unique answer to life in the Gospel. They reached the conclusion that Jesus Christ was everything in life. Consequently, everyone they met received the Gospel and became spiritually restored.

3. Commission to relay

The greatest commission for children of God is to relay the mystery of “only” to other people. Paul wrote countless letters to relay this to his far-flung disciples. Each time he sent an epistle, he explained the Gospel perfectly suited and needed in that particular region, and shared the Gospel He enjoyed. His encounters with his disciples were the start to changing an entire age through the Gospel. Evangelism is enjoying the mystery of “only” through meetings and it is also the commission for people who possess the Gospel.

Think about the interactions you will have today and ask God for His guidance and plan. Then, meditate and organize your very own story to relay in your own precious encounters.
