[He will be my God]
Elder Park Jaeseok
Exodus 4:22~6:13
While preparing for todays sermon, I remembered that 13 years ago,
when I heard the pastors gracious QT sermon, my eyes were wide open, and I started QT.
Today, we will look at how God makes us his own people and how he becomes our God through words.
1. Even when we moan saying why, he will be our God.
Moses pleads with God because of the people who were suffering from the weight of labor.
But the text is interesting because we know the end of this sentence. I think our lives are the same.
The reality is so hard that life seems like a tragedy, but it is a comedy for the Lord who knows that our end is heaven.
However, life without knowing the Lord is a comedy in this land,
but you dont know how sad the end is. God immediately responds to Moses cries of resentment.
I was born in a remarried family.
My mother was severely persecuted for having three daughters in a row in her first marriage,
became mentally ill, and was abandoned on the train, and the place she got off was Asan.
She was wandering at the train station, was forced into a mental hospital, and my father,
who was a hospital employee, already had a family, but he took my mother out of the hospital and made my own family.
So, I was anxious from birth. The remarried family is fundamentally unstable
as if they live with gunpowder that may explode at any time.
This seems to be a natural result of the punishment of disobedience
because people separate what God had joined and made their own mates again.
My parents gave birth to six brothers and sisters, and I am the youngest.
Inheriting the tendencies of depressed mother and nervous breakdown father,
I became sensitive and obsessive from an early age.
Since I was young, I couldnt understand my family, so I cried out,
'Why do I have to live with such a strange family?'
But now I realize that I was the strangest person in my family
who committed many crimes such as premarital pregnancy, abortion, homosexuality, and drugs during my youth of chaos.
2. He will be my God by remembering the covenant.
When I was six, I first stepped into the church in the neighborhood,
I lived in faith in an environment where I had no choice but to worship.
I had to live as a good model student because of my elder sister
who had to raise my younger brother with strict faith education and elite education.
However, as I became in my 20s, I committed all kinds of crimes that I could commit in my life.
So, while longing for love, I even committed homosexuality.
This pleasure is accompanied by severe depression and suicidal thoughts.
Our spirit knows that homosexuality is a sin.
When I tried to give up my life by touching drugs while studying abroad,
the word that came out unknowingly was 'Oh Lord, save me'.
A miracle occurred that God, who heard this moan, remembered the covenant and met me.
For the first time in my life, I experienced a deep feeling of repentance,
and the resurrection became a reality, not a concept.
It was not until I met the Lord personally while listening to the words of our churchs arrestor
that I was able to go to the stage of knowing the God of the covenant.
3. He will be my God by saying it again.
God commands Moses to go to Pharaoh again.
This shows to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, Gods strong will to Exodus.
Now I became a businessman who travels around the world as a missionary
to deliver QT as if I travel to the Diaspora church there.
It took me a long time to meet QT and the community.
I believe that when I tell the people what I first heard then he will be my God.
