To Do What Jesus Desires (Matthew 28:16-20) 12/10/2023
Among the representative Christian masterpieces of the 20th century, there is a book called What Would Jesus Do by Charles Sheldon. It is a novel that teaches us the spiritual maturity, character, and standard of a Christian. It is a good book that talks about the life of a Christian, but it doesn’t encompass the entirety of what Christ desires.
As they emphasized these things, losing hold of what was truly and evermore important resulted in the state of American churches of today.
They focused on teaching how to live a kind, sacrificial, and diligent life. Extremely speaking, they only taught what Christ wanted at this level, which made churches no different from other religions. Buddhism teaches the same thing. As they lost hold of the reason the church must be only Christ, uniqueness and recreation that saves the world became impossible.
This is the reason the American churches and the churches of the world are closing doors. Accordingly, there is no need to go to church. You can believe in any religion, and as long as you be kind, there is no dire need for religion. Thus, the solution that the churches came up with was religious pluralism and unification of religions. The churches are leading this effort, and they are being completely controlled by Satan.
- In the passage, Jesus gave to his disciples what he truly wants as the last message (The Great Commission). He emphasized for the last time what he had been teaching them all along.
1) At that time, the disciples were still weak and stuck in failure. One of the twelve disciples betrayed Jesus and followed the world because he loved money. Of the remaining eleven, there were some that still doubted Jesus’ resurrection.
2) This might be our state and our reality. That is why we become deceived by the world, shaken, fallen, and taken from.
① Jesus did not only teach them to no longer live that way. He emphasized at least three things. There are three things that Christ accomplished, prepared for us, and desires from us (content of 7,7,7). The work that Christ accomplished (7 guide signs), the things that he prepared (7 bartizans), and the path that Christ prepared (7 journeys).
② Because people lose hold of this, they are trampled on by the world. They cannot save the world. They are rather ridiculed. Telling them to “live a kind life,” “be the light and salt,” or “sacrifice yourself,” is pointless.
- The last message that Christ gave included these three things.
1) The work that Christ accomplished. It is the work that the “anointed one” who is the Son of God accomplished. Hold onto the reason Christ is the one with all authority on heaven and earth and enjoy that first (18).
(1) From here, we can find the covenant of 24, 25, and eternity and what to concentrate on. There is one thing that he did on earth with heavenly authority. This is the beginning of the 7 guideposts (experiencing Mt. Calvary).
(2) He alone died on the cross (death of ransom) to solve the three fundamental curses that causes our lives to fail.
① The curse of original sin that came from the first life Adam. No matter how much we want to live a kind life, it is not easy. That is why He who was sinless died on behalf of mankind to cover us with His blood and give us his righteousness (Priesthood).
② The curse of Satan that worked behind the fall of mankind and is working even now in our lives. He is called the king of the world (tyrant, dictator) and a thief (John 10:10, 14:30). Christ crushed this power of Satan in his resurrection (Kingship). Without knowing this, even as they live a life of kindness and diligence, they still face incomprehensible things and are being stolen from.
③ Suffering in the world is not the end. There is the curse of eternal judgment. They pass down their curses to their children (generational inheritance). Christ became the way to meet God and gave us eternal life (Prophethood).
(3) There are new blessings for people who accept Christ are given (why 2 Corinthians 5:17 calls us a new creation). We are no longer subject to curses. We are a source of blessings. We are no longer subject to Satan’s attacks. We are given victory. We are no longer facing judgment after death. We will enjoy eternal life. This is the blessing that saved people will enjoy (Ephesians 1:3-6). Try to concentrate on enjoying this Christ. Through that enjoyment, you can overcome yourself, Satan, and the world.
2) The things that Christ has prepared. He gives it to us after ascending to the throne (Mark 16:19-20, Acts 1:6-9, Revelation 11:9-10).
① We must enjoy that Christ of the throne. There are three representative things that Christ does for us from the throne. The Holy Spirit leads us to pray (Romans 8:26), he becomes our mediator (Hebrews 10:12-13), and gives us all the power when we pray. From there, the power of heaven, power of the throne, and eternal power is revealed. That is when we can experience the talent and mission given from above.
② Everything we do in enjoyment of this power becomes God’s masterpiece. Our lives become the masterpiece that reveals God’s glory. Our work and our devotions all become masterpieces.
③ What is the masterpiece of all masterpieces? It is the masterpiece of evangelism and missions. That is why we must “go and make disciples of all nations” (19).
Just as the Jesus did, enjoy the answer of raising up 12 disciples. This refers to the pastors and missionaries that are raised up through your prayers, devotion, and support. Receive answers to the point where you can raise up multiethnic individuals to commission them to their respective nations and support them (meaning of 5 persons 1 team).
In the field, you can seek out the 70 disciples throughout your life. The prayer to enjoy the absolute power that you will need is the 7 bartizans (triune God, power of the throne, power to save 3 ages, power to break down darkness, power to save 237 nations, power to see and prepare the future, power to save the church that completes the 3 courtyards).
3) The path that Christ desires. We are to teach and relay this blessing to our posterity. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (19-20). The 7 journeys compiled the things we must relay (our identity within the triune God, 5 basic assurances, 10 absolute backgrounds (footstool), 10 paths of the summit, 9 mysteries to change the flow, 62 points of the life of the evangelist, and blessing of the church pulpit).
① We must relay this to prepare for the future (our future, future of posterity, future of the church, and eternal future).
② This is why the headquarters is emphasizing the 3-day weekend (preparing for multiethnics, healing, summit). We have to raise up the multiethnic individuals to prepare for saving the 237 nations and heal the posterity in advance, so they are no longer deceived. Many are diseased by scars, competition, rage, and depression from a young age. We are helping them experience that Christ has finished it all and Satan can no longer make them crumble. We are preparing their spirituality and specialty to make them the true summit that will lead the future.
③ For this work, all 1st generation remnants and church officers must become the secret taskforce (RCA 3rd lecture).
Conclusion – We must hold onto the work that Christ accomplished, the things that Christ has prepared, and the things that Christ desires one again, pray, and challenge. Christ will be with us until the ends of the earth (all our works, meetings, businesses, ministries, and the future).
