In the Words of today’s Scripture passage, Jesus said, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this” (John 13:7) while He was washing Peter’s feet. Here, we must contemplate why Jesus washed Peter’s feet and also why He said such things and look into the deep meaning of this.

Whoever Loves the Lord Has Peace in His Heart (John 14:15-31)]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2022 01:49:00 +0000 The New Life Mission https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/48257/episode/1314716 https://sermons-on-the-gospel-of-john-vii-for-the-lost-s3od.castos.com/episodes/4-whoever-loves-the-lord-has-peace-in-his-heart-john-1415-31 This evening I would like to continue on from yesterday and share the Word from John 14:15-31, which the Lord spoke to His disciples on this earth as though He were giving His last will.
In this passage our Lord said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). The Lord’s commandments here instruct us to never have any other gods before Him, love God the most and love each other as well. This reminds us of what the Lord said in Exodus 20:3: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” As this passage says, if we really love the Lord, then we should have no other gods but the Lord, and we should become the disciples that love the Lord more than anything else in this world. Whoever loves the Lord truthfully is compelled to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit all over the world which is entrusted by the Lord, and to labor to save everyone’s soul. This is a natural outcome for those who love the Lord more than anything else in this world, something that comes about even without them wishing for it.

This summer has been so hot that I can’t recall any previous summer that was as hot and difficult to cope with. I’ve also gained some weight, and so perhaps this made it more difficult for me to cope with the heat. The climate is getting increasingly hotter due to global warming, and putting on additional weight just made things worse for me. But even so, I am happy that the summer has gone by without too much trouble, and I thank God for watching over us to ensure our safety. Over this summer discipleship training camp, I noticed a few things that we should have done to better serve the Lord, and so we need to be more prepared for next year’s summer discipleship camp. But I am still very happy to see everyone here safe and sound.

Today, we have read together the Gospel of John from the Word of God. Through this Word, I want to share with you the fact that faith is the reality that truly exists, not a figment of imagination.
Dear fellow believers, the gospel of the water and the Spirit is the graceful Truth just as you and I believe. Such faith is not something humans can create out of fleshly imagination or human logic. The life of faith is believing and following the Word that God has actually spoken, not believing a figment of imagination that humans create by dreams and imaginations.

Since Monday I’ve been sharing fellowship with you, I’ve broken bread together with you, and I’ve also had a chance to see the beautiful changing colors of the fall on Mount Seorak. I’ve really enjoyed the last three days. The turning leaves of the mountains set against the backdrop of the blue sea provided some spectacular natural scenes, making our gathering that much more special. I give all thanks to God. God always blesses wherever the righteous are gathered like this. And through His amazing plan, He has led us on this occasion to make some important decisions. I am truly grateful to God.

Here the Lord said, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.” He then went on to say that the branches must abide in the vine, and that He will cut out any branch that does not bear fruit, while cleanse every branch that bears fruit so that it may bear more fruit.
Let’s contemplate on this passage carefully today. The Lord spoke of Himself by drawing an analogy to the vine, and this parable means that although those who abide in the Lord bear fruit, those who don’t will perish spiritually like a withering branch.
