「Businesspeople Who Raised World Remnants」 (Jn 21:15-18)
▣ Introduction
At the new sanctuary of Immanuel Changwon Church, we are getting to the core of things today. You simply need to make a church that people cannot help but come to. You need to make a church where people of many ethnicities can come comfortably, a church where the sick can come and rest and pray, a church where the Remnant can find peace and see their future. Even in Busan, you need to make it so that the people of the neighborhood come to the church just to rest. That is why I said to choose a mountain location. Busan has such a great location. There, you can make as many prayer spots and resting places as you want. The question is: how, and what does God want?
There was a boy who fell into the water and was about to die. A friend who was passing by spotted him and pulled him out. The two of them became friends. But it turned out this friend was a child from a very poor family. When he told his father about it, the father raised that child. He raised him so that he could study. The two boys grew up to do important things for their country. The boy who had fallen into the water became a politician named Churchill. The child from the poor family grew up to become a famous doctor who created penicillin to save the world — a man named Fleming.
What is the most precious thing we must leave behind? It is raising the right people of talent so that they have the gospel. So what is the way to save people of many ethnicities? It is raising those people of talent. Why do powerful nations build so many schools? It is to gather people of talent. They are competing. There are more than 5,000 universities in America alone. The idea is to take hold of the world’s talented people. In Boston alone, where Harvard University is located, there are 500 universities. They are all famous universities. The goal is to raise talented people.
There was an elderly man who went to a university to talk to someone, but they would not let him meet the president of the university. He said he had come to meet the president. Does just anyone get to meet the university president? If someone connected brings you, that works, but because people kept showing up casually and asking to meet, they stopped letting people in. Still, he did not leave. Eventually they made time and had him come in. This old man asked the president: “How much does it cost to run a university like this?” The president dismissed the old man and said, “Not just anyone can do this,” and sent him away. As the man quietly walked away, he thought to himself, “Raising talented people — that’s what schools are for…” He had intended to give this man everything he had earned and saved over a lifetime, but since the man had treated him so dismissively, he thought, “I’ll just build one myself.” And he did. He founded a university in his own name. That university is Stanford. Why? Because talented people must be raised.
“The Work Person Who Raises World Remnant”
We are work people who raise world Remnant. And so, for our Remnant, the headquarters must call in the world’s Remnant elites, give them the gospel, and send them out. Our work people must join in and pray for this. It may look small, but the whole world is contained in it. When they put that poor child through school, no one knew that child would go on to save the world. So no one knows what will happen to Remnant in the next generation. That is why this church must be made so that people of many ethnicities, so that Remnant, so that talented people will come. Why is that?
▣ Main
1. Luke 23:28
Jesus said, “Weep for your children.”
1) Crucifixion
Jesus was on the road going up to receive crucifixion. How could such a thing happen? As Jesus carried the cross and went up, many women wept. At that moment, Jesus turned and said: “Do not weep for me. Weep for your children.”
2) 70 A.D.
Jesus was looking ahead to 70 A.D. Before long, Israel would be destroyed catastrophically because they had blocked the gospel.
3) The next generation
What happened to this next generation? They were massacred catastrophically. That part alone is terrible enough, but they also took children and used them as subjects for experiments. Especially in Germany, that is what happened. They captured children and performed live experiments on them. And while those children waited to undergo those live experiments — I once saw a photograph of the look in their eyes. Think about what it would be like if your own child were there.
This is how great the sin of blocking the gospel is. Because it was so wretched, Jesus said it: “Do not weep for me. Weep for your children.”
Some children were dragged away into criminal groups. Many children were dragged away into back-alley work groups.
Yet within that, an unseen minority who held the gospel changed the world. You must think about what it is we need to do.
2. John 21:15-18
Jesus came to find Peter, who had gone back to fishing. He could have rebuked him once, but He did not. Why? Because He knew. So He went to Peter and did not ask anything different. The same words. “Do you love me?” The same. “Feed my lambs.” Why does He say to feed them?
1) Something else
Because many people have been fed something else. Powerful nations grew up eating something else, so all they have is violence, murder, and conquest. Jewish people grew up eating the wrong thing, so they cannot be corrected. And many religious people are clinging to something even more wrong.
2) Imprinting — root (disposition)
Quickly — this is urgent. The point is: imprint the covenant and the gospel on the lambs. Feed them, that is what it means. Because they will take root according to what has been imprinted, and their disposition will form according to how they take root. He pleaded earnestly: “Feed my lambs.”
3) The synagogue
So this covenant went through Paul to every synagogue. Why? Because they had been feeding something else in the synagogues. This is a serious problem, isn’t it? In the synagogues where children gathered, they had been feeding them things that lead to ruin. Paul’s heart was urgent. So he went into the synagogues and pleaded earnestly.
So really, there is no need to think of anything else. They have already been fed something else, I tell you. That is why He said to feed them. How important is this?
All work people do not need to reach many. Just share the gospel with talented people. And so, the headquarters must stop at nothing and call in talented people from 5,000 ethnic groups. Going forward, we will meet with presidents of various nations and make a proposal: please select talented people. We will provide the tuition. There is just one condition: at a certain point in time, allow them to come to Korea for evangelism training. About one year. Then those people will immediately be people who hold the gospel and will cooperate.
So it is fine if one answering church leader each takes responsibility for one person. And in those countries, the tuition is nothing compared to what it costs us. That is why, when the leaders from Vanuatu came this time, we had a meal together. And among the many things I ask, there is always one thing I make sure to ask: “How much is the monthly salary of the workers, the people currently working?” When you ask that, the answer comes right away.
I went to a hotel in Manila, one of the biggest, finest cities in the Philippines. And among those working there were clean, bright-looking young people. They had selected good-looking young people, dressed them neatly in suits, pinned on name tags, and they were working hard. That must have been about 17 years ago. So I asked, “How much are you paid here, what is the monthly salary?” One hundred dollars. One hundred dollars — that is under 100,000 won in Korean money, and they were working for that. Us raising the world? That is not a difficult thing.
The late Elder Park came to me and made a request. “Pastor, please support me with 300,000 won a month.” I asked, “What will you do with it?” He said the monthly salary of a professor among the Karen refugee people is 10,000 won. So he wanted to raise 30 of those professors. That is the scale of it.
That is why world evangelization is not difficult. Raise talented people in the next generation.
3. Matthew 18:1-10
Here, several characteristics appear.
1) The disciples’ concern
The disciples’ concern. What are the disciples doing right now? “Who among us is the greatest?” That is it. And we have a lot of that kind of concern too. And there are many people who are always trying to make themselves stand out. What does that tell you? It is evidence that they themselves have nothing. A person who has true conviction and truly possesses something does not show it off. They do not need to. After all of Jesus’s training, the one thing the disciples end up saying is: “Who among us is the greatest?”
2) A little child
So Jesus said, “In the kingdom of heaven, becoming like a little child is the greatest.” And then, “Do not mistreat these children. To raise children like these is to serve me.” He went that far, and then what did He say?
3) The helping angel
“Do not despise these children. Their angels always see the face of God.” These are words Jesus said directly. The world’s pastors may not believe it, but these are words Jesus said directly. There are angels helping you. It says that your prayers are carried as errands and that they behold the face of God every day. It appears throughout Scripture at important moments.
So you must know how important it is to raise even one child. You must stake your life on it. Before a child graduates elementary school, the gospel must be imprinted. Before they go to middle school, they must be able to pray. Teach them scientifically. You must explain scientifically what happens in the brain when one prays — that is how awakening comes. And you must explain it biblically for them to understand. You must explain it fully through the gospel and spiritually for it to become their own. They do not even know how to pray. If they go out into the world like that, will that be enough?
▣ Conclusion — Life (24)
I will continue speaking about this, but true prayer is something done within life. This is what we mean by 24. Even now, you must be in deep prayer. When you come to worship tomorrow, on Sunday, you must sing hymns and hear the Word from within deep prayer. When Remnant face hardship, it cannot be “What do I do now?” You must study while enjoying the secret of prayer that no one else knows. When you do, that is when you understand prayer.
“Well, is it wrong to go to a mountain and pray?” That is fine. It does not matter at all. But this — the conclusion — must come from within life. When you open your eyes in the morning, there is nothing else to do. You must prepare. Prayer must arise within that. Don’t you need to prepare in the evening? Pastors, don’t you need to prepare your materials? That must happen within deep prayer. And during the day, you meet people. That too must happen within prayer.
So then, what is the standard for concentrating in prayer? There needs to be a standard. So for me, the best thing God has given — it says God breathed the breath of life into us. Jesus breathed out and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” So for you, because the standard is alive, my standard for prayer is breath. When you use breath as your standard, your focus locks in. And it is good for your health too. It is nearly 24. Very good.
We must teach the Remnant to pray. Jesus did not teach preaching, but He did teach prayer.
May the remaining days of your life be filled with the very best grace and blessing, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be always together with all the work people who will save the Remnant, and upon the servants of the Lord, from now until eternity. Amen.
