Matthew chapter 3 verses 13 to 17 describe how Jesus Christ took all the sins of sinners by coming into this world. In other places, we can find passages that foreshadow this event in the Old Testament. In the passage in Matthew chapter 3, the Bible presents the Truth that Jesus took upon Himself the sins of this world once and for all by receiving the baptism from John the Baptist.
After coming into this world, did Jesus receive His baptism from John the Baptist to show His humility? It is utterly false that Jesus received baptism from John the Baptist to display His humility. The baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist was a process by which He took the sins of the world upon Himself once and for all. Jesus took our sins upon Himself as well as all the sins of the rest of the world by receiving His baptism from John the Baptist. Jesus received His baptism in order to take upon Himself the sins of you and me as well as the sins of all the people in the world.

How are you today? Did you enjoy your dinner this evening? I have eaten pretty well myself this evening. Not only was the meal great, but I really enjoyed the company of coworkers and saints. I am also very grateful that we can have fellowship together and share His grace in this great place in a good environment.
I have noticed a not too important but nonetheless interesting fact here today. You have to keep in mind that you can be sentenced to three years imprisonment for yapping in the restroom. I came across evangelist Jaeyoung Lee in the restroom, and happened to talk with him this afternoon. Then, someone else in the restroom told us that there is a law stipulating three years imprisonment for people who talk too loudly in the restroom. After that, we were quiet. Of course, he was kidding us.

Today, we read from the prayer our Lord has taught us again. Matthew chapter 6, verse 10 says, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.” I would like to focus on this passage today.
Our Lord said, “In this manner, therefore, pray” (Matthew 6:9). The first lesson was to pray, “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.” That is, we have to pray in a manner that glorifies the name of our Father. The second was to pray, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.” Our Lord told us to pray like this for the Kingdom of God. God has appointed His own people in this land and told them that He will build His Kingdom on this earth. Also, that “God’s will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” is a mandate to the righteous to build the Kingdom of God on this earth.

How are you? We give thanks to God for giving us psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to praise God and for selecting us to be the soldiers of Christ. We are preparing our own hymnbook. Twenty-one spiritual songs are made so far, and they are added to the appendix of our hymnbook, “Praise the Name of Jesus.”
Although all of our praises sing of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the more I sing those praises the more I grow fond of them. We give thanks to God for allowing us the righteous to compose and sing these praise songs to ourselves.

How are you? We just enjoyed watching a special performance of the youth association. Didn’t we have a good time? Brother Jinho Hong is pretty tall, but he stretched himself even further to do his squid dance. You wouldn’t know how much I laughed observing that dance. Truly, our brothers can dance much better than I ever did when I was still a bachelor. Our sisters said that our young brothers are brave.

Today’s Scripture passage comes from the very end of the Lord’s Prayer. The phrase “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever” is not included in the NU-Text. By the way, I am sharing with you about the Lord’s Prayer verse by verse. If time permits, I would like to share the correct truth with you by going into more details on the remaining Word from the Lord’s Prayer.

Dear fellow believers, how was your meal? We sang some praise songs before today’s sermon, and one of those praise songs was a song entitled “The warriors of our Lord.” In the last phrase, the words “warriors of heavenly army” hit some quite high pitches and sometimes I fail to hit that high. Most of our saints either just lip sync or make a screeching sound, but I think my efforts were commendable today. So, I was quite proud of myself, but our praise leader said that those who really sing well only lip sync in those parts. His saying made my crest fall for a short while. I am thankful that we the born again righteous people of God are able to praise God, whether we sing well or not. I believe our praises are beautiful before God, even if all that we do is sing out of harmony.

I would like to extend my congratulations to those of you who have resolved the problem of sin in your hearts by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. To those who have received the remission of sin, great blessings await them. All of you who have just received the remission of sin may have appeared your age in the flesh, but your spiritual age is not much more than that of a newborn. Your bodies in the flesh probably have grown old being raised in the world for tens of years, but remember that your spiritual age is not even a few days old because you are just a newborn in spirit.
