Shincheonji Church’s Christmas Service: A Celebration of Hope and Unity
“Jesus bore the cross to save humanity from sin, fulfilled the Old Testament, and prophesied about the future. And today, with the fulfilment of what was prophesied, the path of life has been opened.”
ManHee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony said this at the ‘Christmas Service’ sermon held at the Shincheonji Suwon Church on the 25th. The sermon focused on the powerful message that Jesus came to bear our sins, offering us the gift of eternal life.
On that day, a total of 13,800 people, including pastors, church members, and citizens, gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the true meaning of Christmas.
In his sermon that day, Chairman Lee emphasised that we should not forget to be thankful for Jesus' return today, the time of the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation, shedding His blood to atone for our sins, and that we should have faith according to the Bible.
The Chairman said, “God has also worked to save the human world, and Jesus also carried out God’s will and took upon himself the sins of the world, so Jesus saved us.” He continued, “That is why the world today celebrates the birthday of Jesus.” He added, “If Jesus had not taken upon himself the sins of the world, the whole world would have been destroyed because of sin, just like in the days of Noah.”
The Chairman emphasised, “Our (believers’) purpose is to enter heaven. That is why we have walked until today without hesitation despite persecution.”
He continued, “What Shincheonji Church of Jesus is testifying to is not something that will come true, but the fulfilled reality of prophecy,” and added, “If we cannot confirm the actual fulfilled reality of the Book of Revelation, it is because we have not believed within the Bible, but rather have believed outside of the Bible.”
He concluded his sermon by urging the pastors in attendance that day, “All pastors must teach the congregation the truth about the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation.”
Pastor Kim, a Baptist who attended the service amidst the great welcome of the congregation, said, “It was a time to think deeply about the meaning of Christmas, not just a simple celebration, and I was also able to acquire knowledge about how to lead the congregation’s faith.” He added, “It was a moving time that brought great comfort in a chaotic and noisy world.”
As we remember the birth of Christ, let’s also remember His message of hope, love, and salvation. Shincheonji is committed to spreading this message with others, building unity, and sharing the truth of the Bible with the world.
