Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa
Hallelujah (^-^)/
This afternoon... we have a joint baptism ceremony❗️.
... We are all people who "need to repent."
... Some people... like the scribes and Pharisees... may think that they are righteous and keep God's word, so they don't need to repent 😤
... But the Bible...
There is no one who "does not need to repent"❗️
... There is no one who is righteous.
It is written that there is no one who is just❗️.
... What are "righteous people who do not need to repent"🤔
(It refers to the 99 sheep that entered the sheepfold❗️)
They are people who have already repented and had their sins forgiven by Jesus.
... When one person who had "disappeared" from God's presence
(was lost) returns to God... it shows that God the Father in heaven has the greatest joy in heaven.
…God sincerely desires that those who have strayed from Christ and are living sinful lives
…will become aware of their sins and repent.
…There will be great joy in heaven at this afternoon's baptism!
Shalom.
