Historic commission

Acts 3:1~10 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. (1~2)

Even though medicine and medical practices develop day by day, illnesses increase without a clear reason. Avian influenza and lethal ticks that terrorized the entire world are recent illnesses. Why does the number of unknown sicknesses increase even though science develops and our quality of life is getting better? Also, in contrast to the current level of education and culture, the number of heinous crimes are increasing. What is the commission that God has given to those who have the Gospel in this age?

1. The disease of this age

They say that modern medicine has somewhat conquered cancer. However, the number of people suffering from cancer is only increasing. Even though culture is developing and the quality of life is getting richer, the number of people suffering from mental illnesses like depression continues to increase. Moreover, people who seem fine outwardly are suffering alone. This age is becoming sick at a fearful rate, but people are wandering without being able to find the solution to their problems. This is because they do not know that Jesus Christ has solved all our problems.

2. Religious organizations

As the problems of this age become more and more severe, religious organizations delve into the anxious hearts of people. They say that people can fill their hearts’ emptiness through methods taught in the meditation movement, energy movement, and hypnosis. However, if they fill their hearts with something other than God’s Word, they may feel happy temporarily, but will eventually feel empty again. Because people are spiritual beings, they must meet God in order to become happy. Nevertheless, people wander and try to find answers in many religious organizations without knowing this fact.

3. Preparation of the ones who have the Gospel

There is a reason why God called the ones who have the Gospel in this desolate age. In every age in which people lost hold of the covenant, God saved the age through those who remained with the covenant. Likewise, the age will be revived and history will change through one person who enjoys the filling of the Holy Spirit. If we enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit like Daniel who prayed in the direction of Jerusalem three times a day and then wait, we will enjoy factual answers.

Although I am weak and lacking, God desires to save this age through me. Meditate on the Word and ask God regarding the plan that He has prepared for you.
