The Apostle Matthew is telling us that the Word of Jesus was spoken to everyone in this world, for he saw Jesus as the King of kings. Now, Christians throughout the world, who have just been born again by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that we are spreading, are indeed yearning to feed on the bread of life. But it is difficult for them to have fellowship with us in the true gospel, for they are all far away from us. Therefore, to meet the spiritual needs of these people of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the sermons in this book have been prepared as new bread of life for them to nourish their spiritual growth. The author proclaims that those who have received the remission of their sins by believing in the Word of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, must feed on His pure Word in order to defend their faith and sustain their spiritual lives. This book will provide the real spiritual bread of life to all of you who have become the royal people of the King by faith. Through His Church and servants, God will continue to provide you with this bread of life.

There have been so many natural disasters recently that I am fully convinced that we are now living in the age of sorrow and recently Pakistan was struck by a devastating earthquake. Some villages in Guatemala were wiped out by mudslides triggered by a hurricane thereby disappearing without a trace. The devastation was so bad that the authorities stopped trying to recover the victims and instead declared the sites to be public cemeteries. It’s estimated that about 80,000 people died from the earthquake in Pakistan, but the number of victims is expected to grow even more in the coming months, as the afflicted region, Kashmir, is very rugged and mountainous, and the brutal winter there will extract a heavy toll on the people who lost their homes from the earthquake. We also have some partners in Pakistan, and unfortunately, their safety is not known to us yet. We’ll continue to try to get in touch with them, but meanwhile, we should all pray for them.

Since meeting you on the day of the Lord, I meet you again today, Wednesday, and the time in between seemed so very long. In recent days, I have been very busy preparing the sermon books about the Gospel of Matthew. I am so glad to be meeting you by taking time out of my crowded schedule. God has allowed us a new translator who will be translating our books into English, and because I have to give her materials to translate, I am busy these days. But, I have discovered that she was translating “the gospel of the water and the Spirit” as just “the gospel” according to the American style of translating, and so I have instructed her to correct some expressions.

Our Lord said that in the last days when He comes to this earth again with His angels, He will sit on His white throne of glory, gather all nations of the earth, and divide them as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats, placing the sheep on the right and the goats on the left. And He said that He would permit the people on His right hand to inherit the Kingdom prepared for them or, in other words, heaven. The reason that He gives them the reward of Heaven is found in His saying, “For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me.”

The Lord said He would come as the King when He comes back to this world. And He said, “All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.” And the Lord who is the King says to the righteous on His right hand, “Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”

The Lord will come someday without fail. This world will be destroyed at the time that God has decided, and a new world will come. Even if you think that this can be said by anyone, I say it again. It is clear that the Lord will come in His time. When He comes, He will speak to us just as it is written in today’s Scripture passage.

Jesus Christ knew everything about what he is going to encounter in the future. So, He said to His disciples, “I will be delivered up to the chief priests to be crucified.” When the Passover was near, the chief priests and the religious leaders of Israel assembled at the Temple and plotted to kill Him. The Passover for the Israelites was the great festive day of celebrating the event that they had escaped from Egypt. As the criminals are released from prison under amnesty in our country at the national holiday such as Independence Day, at that time of Israel, there was a custom of releasing a criminal in such a great festive day like Passover. On the other hand, there might be a custom of executing heinous criminals openly as well. Because of such a custom, the chief priests tried to kill Jesus during Passover. Jesus knew that plot beforehand. So, Jesus said to His disciples, “I will be sold to the people during Passover as the sacrificial Lamb.”

Jesus said, “Wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” The reason why this woman poured fragrant oil on Jesus’ head was for Jesus burial. And, she served Jesus Christ by pouring the oil on His head being thankful for the Lord that He has taken on all the sins of the world through His baptism by coming to this earth and has saved all humankind from sins by dying vicariously on the Cross and being resurrected from the dead. This woman poured it on Jesus’ head by breaking open an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil. An alabaster flask of very precious fragrant oil was worth a great amount of money comparable to a wage back then that a man in his prime would receive for having worked at someone’s house for a year.

We took bread and drank wine as we partook in the communion. As we take the bread and the cup, we remember the love and the salvation of the Lord who sacrificed Himself on our behalf. The Lord came to this world and received His baptism, shed blood on the Cross and died to blot out our sins and gave us new life in the exact manner God had promised to all humanity in the Old Testament. God gave the sacrificial system of the Tabernacle to the Israelites and promised to wipe out the sins of all people according to it. And the Lord fulfilled His promise to blot out all our sins from God’s standpoint by coming to this world in the flesh, taking the sins of the world upon Himself by receiving the laying on of hands, and shedding the blood of atonement.

The Lord established two ceremonies in His Church. The first one is the ceremony of baptism for those who have received the remission of their sins, and the second is Holy Communion that was originated from today’s Scripture passage.The Lord gave His disciples the Great Commission before He ascended: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20). Here, we can find the fact that the Lord has ordered us to baptize the people who are born again by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. The ceremony of baptism is a ceremony that confesses the faith of a saint who has received the remission of his sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. And this is the confession of faith that is presented before God and the Church, “The Lord took all of my sins when He received baptism this way and cleansed them by shedding His blood and dying on the Cross.”

The Lord had the Last Supper before Passover. When the Lord prepared for the Last Supper, He told His disciples to go into the city to a certain man and tell him that He and His disciples would keep the Passover at his house. The disciples went into the city as Jesus said and told the man what they were instructed to say, and he obediently admitted them into his house. Therefore, the Lord was able to keep the Passover in that house with His disciples.

In today’s Scriptural passage, it is recorded that “the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom” when Jesus Christ died. God’s sanctuary is a small room where the Ark of the Covenant was placed. That was the place that God came to and bestowed grace. In Old Testament times, once a year, the High Priest took the blood of the sacrifice, entered the sanctuary, and Israel received the remission of the sins they had committed over the past year by the High Priest sprinkling the blood seven times above the Ark of the Covenant and on the east side of it.

Jesus has resurrected from death and came out from the grave. The Resurrection of our Lord was a very evident fact. His resurrection was not a fabricated story that left room for any doubt. Jesus had resurrected indeed and testified as to His resurrection to around 500 saints (1 Corinthians 15:6), and for forty days, He continually testified of His resurrection until He ascended to Heaven.

Jesus Christ is the Person who holds the authority to send people’s souls to Heaven or hell. Besides Jesus Christ, there is no god that holds the authority to send the souls of sinners to hell. Only Jesus Christ can send sinners’ souls to hell. Therefore, a sinner goes to Heaven when he receives the remission of sins by faith in Jesus Christ, or he enters hell by rejecting Him. When Jesus said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” He was saying, “I am Jesus who has that kind of authority. And God the Father gave me all authority in heaven and on earth. I, too, give you this same authority.” This says that He gave His disciples the authority to send the souls of sinners to Heaven or hell.

How are you today? Living in the world these days is very confusing and disturbing. The oil price has topped 60 dollars per barrel and many predict it will soon be over100 dollars. The legislation to permit insertion of barcode chips under the people’s skin has been passed in the United States. Also, we constantly hear news of all kinds of natural disasters and bird flu and other contagious diseases. It is truly a dismal world. It makes me think the end of the world is drawing near. Truly, the future of the world is depressing. Everything is hopeless. Everything in the world is depressing, including the economy and politics.
