The One Who Fulfills the Work of God (Jn. 10:22-42)
Let us bless and greet one another, “Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God.” May you receive the unprecedented answers today. If the Word of God goes into you well, then that is a blessing. But there are some people who listen to the Word of God, and they’re still not able to hear it. The reason for that is written in today’s scripture very well. What exactly is our walk of faith? In today’s scripture, it says that the one who does the work of God is the one who is living their walk of faith well. On the other hand, there are people who are living their walk of faith so they can accomplish their own work well, and that’s what we call a “religious person.” Religious people like that will live their walk of faith with tremendous difficulty. In today’s scripture, we see what is the result of the work of God, versus doing our own work.
In today’s scripture, it’s talking about the Feast of Dedication. The Feast of Dedication is not one of the feasts that is required by the law of the Jews. Simply put, the Temple was stolen from the Israelites by Gentile nations, and the Gentiles did their own sacrificial and idolatrous actions in the Temple. Once it was returned, the Israelites had a week of the Feast of Dedication to celebrate, and this happened about 167 years before Jesus Christ came. So, the Feast of Dedication is a Jewish festival, and Jesus Christ did His work through it.
In America, we have Halloween, which is a festival the Americans observe. It actually began in Europe, and as European-Americans came here, they kept their traditions. Halloween originally started as a way to ward off evil spirits by dressing up as evil spirits, and people participate in Halloween without knowing the real meaning; however, it is a spiritual event. Last Thursday, we had the Holy Wind camp at church in order for the work of the Holy Spirit to take place and for God to be glorified. Amazing things are beginning to happen. Even until last year, there was a lot of Halloween activity around the church, as well as my house, but I noticed this year, there was very little Halloween activity. So, yes it may be revealed visibly in different ways, however, if you’re holding onto the spiritual things and you are praying, then the forces of darkness are being broken down.
Every nation has their own holidays and festivals, and if you look deep into each of these holidays and festivals, they are all some form of worshiping evil spirits. Let’s say for example, ancestral rites, those are offerings given to evil spirits. Soon, we’ll have Thanksgiving in America. Thanksgiving used to be a holiday where people would give thanks for the grace of God, but now it’s become a time to travel home. Now, the Thanksgiving festival has changed so that it’s about traveling home and seeing faces you haven’t seen in a long time, and it’s all centered on my pleasure. So, if you want to see the spiritual state of the nation, you can see that through how they observe their holidays. If you go to Mexico right now, it would be the Day of the Dead where they welcome the deceased. That’s why they decorate with skulls, they have food out, and they welcome in the spirits of their ancestors or their parents who are deceased, but people are doing all of these things without understanding what it is, and it’s the same thing for the holidays of every nation. There are also Mongolian holidays where they give their offering and worship to their gods, and in Korea and China and in many countries, people give offerings or sacrifices to the deceased. So, if you look at this nation’s religion as well as their holidays, you can see their spiritual state.
However, the churches are not aware of the spiritual meaning, so there are also churches that are celebrating Halloween. That’s evidence that that church does not have spiritual knowledge. You can see the spiritual state of America when you look at what’s happening to Christmas, Thanksgiving, and things like Halloween. When you look at the holidays of a nation, you can see that nation’s spiritual state. Then how can you see the spiritual state of the church? You can see the spiritual state of the church by their reaction to the different festivals and holidays inside of their region and their nation. Why are there so many problems of mental illness and addiction in America? These problems will get worse and worse in the future, and it will become more and more extreme, why is that? It’s because the churches are supposed to leave their light on and tell the nation about the spiritual things, but they’re not able to talk about the spiritual things, and that’s why the problems are getting worse, and you see the result in Thanksgiving. The meaning of “Thanksgiving” has changed from giving thanks to God, to now traveling to visit your family. When America was first settled by the Christians and Catholics, the first thing they did was worship God, so “America” when it was forced being founded, and “America” today are different.
1. Jews
1) Christ
(1) Suspense in the Jews’ hearts (Jn. 10:24)
So, Jesus Christ is using the Feast of Dedication and is doing His work in the same way today. Amazing things are happening today, and God has sent His one and only Son to do His work, but there are some people who are now opposing that work. Those in the scripture were the Jews, especially the Pharisees. Then, why is it that this group of people opposed Jesus Christ when He came to earth? In other words, why is the world opposing Jesus now? Why is it that when the churches only talk about the gospel, there are people who rise up in opposition to that? These people are opposing that, without knowing themselves. I hope that this will be a blessed time where you’re able to accurately diagnose yourself, as well as the world, through the words of the Bible.
(2) If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly (Jn. 10:24)
In today’s scripture, the Jewish people’s entire lives were being turned upside down because of Jesus. So, the Jews were following Jesus around, saying, “Please, if you really are the Christ or the Messiah, then just tell us,” and Jesus said, “I’ve told you multiple times already but you don’t believe.”
(3) I did tell you, but you do not believe (Jn. 10:25)
“Do you know why you don’t believe? It is because you are not my sheep, you are not my children, so you do not listen to my words. The sheep only listen to the voice of their shepherd, and that’s why the shepherd and the sheep know each other.” But why is it that the Jewish people do not know Jesus Christ today? It’s because they do not believe in God. How can you say that the Jewish people did not believe in God? They did believe in the Jehovah God, but they don’t believe in Him; I’ll tell you about that. God gave the original laws to the Jewish people so that, through the law, people may realize their own limitations and ask God to receive His grace.
However, these Jewish people were using the laws of God and keeping them with their own actions, using them as a tool to elevate their own righteousness. Then, what are the benefits that follow? They say, “I have kept the law so cleanly so everybody has to come to me and learn from me, and if you want to learn from me, you have to pay me, and I act more cleanly than you do, so I have to be above you.” Their goal is money. In Mt. 6, it specifically tells you that you need to choose if your master is God or if your master is money, because you cannot worship both, and this is not only relevant to the Jewish people, but what is the goal for which nonbelievers live their lives? Ultimately, it is money, that’s why they want to succeed, that’s why they gain power. So, instead of believing in God, they were actually worshiping money. Then, what about other religions? Why are they choosing their religion? They say, “By praying this much, by keeping this many actions of righteousness, what I really want to get is money,” so in order to get that money, “I will follow the laws of God very specifically and cleanly, and I will be respected and admired by people.”
2) Jesus
(1) The works I do in my Father’s name (Jn. 10:25)
The reason Jesus Christ came to earth was to reveal the righteousness of God. Jesus Christ came to earth to die on the cross and resurrect, in order to reveal the glory of God, but the Pharisees were following the rules of God to reveal their own righteousness, so of course, Jesus and the Jews were in conflict. Why did the Gentiles not accept Jesus? It’s because the nonbelievers have something else they believe in that they think will help them to live. But Jesus is coming to earth and says to everyone, “What you’re doing is unclean.” That’s why the Jewish people began to reject him. When the gospel goes into the church, then people who were only living their walk of faith to boast about themselves will oppose the gospel. Because I was receiving so much respect from people because of my options, but the gospel is telling me, “That’s not the way to go,” then of course I will fight against the gospel, and those are the same things that happened during Jesus’ time.
So, the Jewish people were thinking, “What can we do to break down Jesus Christ and elevate our own religion for our own benefit?” They could see that the works that Jesus Christ was doing were the good works of God, He gave sight to the blind, He healed those who were diseased; these are things that only the Messiah could do. So there’s nothing they could say about Jesus’ works. But what does the Word say? The Lord says that, “I and the Father are One,” and the Jewish opponents pick up their stones to kill him again, because there is a law of God saying, “If anyone blasphemes God, they shall be stoned to death.”
(2) You do not believe because you are not my sheep (Jn. 10:26)
(3) My sheep listen to my voice (Jn. 10:27)
What does the word, “Son of God” mean? It means it is someone who is receiving all the inheritance of God. So, Jesus Christ is referred to as the Son of God, but what that really means is that everything of God, including His authority, has been given to Jesus. So the work that Jesus does is the work of God. The Jewish people claimed they believed in God, but the reason they opposed Jesus Christ was because they didn’t want to lose hold of the benefits they get from exalting their own righteousness and actions. But Jesus Christ says, “Those who are My sheep and listen to my voice,” it says in John 10:27, they will gain eternal life.
What is this eternal life? Do we have eternal life? No, only when we are connected to the eternal Jesus Christ, the eternal Triune God, is there eternal life. That’s why people who have salvation worship God. “Eternal life” means we live forever with the Triune God, worshiping Him. If you restore worship correctly in your house, then disasters and evil spirits will be broken down and cast out. If you don’t want to give worship, it means, “I want to live however I think is righteous.” You have your own righteous plan, and you have your own thoughts, “I’m going to live my life like this and I don’t want to worship God. I don’t want to listen to and follow God’s Word,” that’s how you are thinking, and that’s the reason our lives are destroyed.
Worship is talking about our internal state. Everyone can keep the Sabbath by their action very diligently, just like the Jewish people did, but my thoughts and my heart are relentlessly holding onto my stronghold. And my thoughts are, “I’m correct.” You shouldn’t go out and do something just because it is right; you need to do something if it’s God’s Word. If we think that we are right, then why would Jesus have to die on the cross? We do not live with what is correct; we live with the truth. Then, why do we not kneel down before the Truth in worship? It’s because you think you can live on your own with your own righteousness. That’s what I was like as a nonbeliever, I thought, “Why do I need to believe in Jesus? I can live a very righteous and just life by myself, in fact the Christians are living worse than me. If there’s a problem in the nation, why don’t the churches in America do something about it?” From my perspective, I couldn’t understand churches at all. Why is it that there are more and more churches raised up? I couldn’t understand why Christians could just ignore all the problems and society in the world, they would just meet by themselves, sing and pray by themselves, thinking that they’re right, and It thought I was right, that’s why I didn’t accept Jesus, and I thought that people who accepted Jesus, were actually pathetic. That they are cowards, just creating a group for themselves. Everybody lives with whatever they think is right. Yes, you may think you’re correct, but that isn’t the Truth.
Jesus Christ says, “Only I am the way, the truth, and the life.” If Jesus is the Truth, then what are my correct thoughts? That’s just what you think is right. More fundamentally speaking, it’s actually a spiritual arrogance that flowed down from Genesis 3, “You can be like God, deciding what is right and what is wrong on your own.” That’s why, just as the Jewish people rejected Jesus, the Gentiles and nonbelievers did, too. Or, why is it that even after we accept Jesus Christ, we’re not able to worship, then? It’s very simple, it’s because you’re confident to live in your own spots, its’ because you have the confidence to live with your own thoughts, but your thoughts are not the truth; that’s why you’re not able to worship. Do you know why you’re not able to pray? It’s because you’re confident to live with your own thoughts. Do you know why you’re not able to pray as soon as you wake up in the morning? It’s because you already have your plan on how to run your business throughout the day, so you just move according to your own thoughts. You don’t have the gospel that Jesus Christ lives in me and I live in Jesus Christ, so now, you live in religion. Inside of us, there are two laws fighting back and forth, the legalism the Pharisees had, and the law of the gospel.
3) Those who follow Jesus
(1) Give them eternal life and they shall never perish (Jn. 10:28)
It says that the work Jesus Christ does is the good work. What is the work that we do then? It’s just the work of eating and surviving, and everybody moves just to make money, and Jesus is the one who said that, but that’s not the “good work.” The “good work” can only be done by Jesus Christ Who is the Good Shepherd. God reveals His Word through Jesus Christ, the reason is because God the Father is in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is in God the Father, so God does His work through Jesus Christ and reveals it. Then, what exactly is the work of God that He is revealing through Jesus Christ?
(2) No one will snatch them out of my hand (Jn.10:28, Rom. 8:39)
(3) My Father is greater than all (Jn. 10:29)
John 10:29 says, the work of God is to believe in Him Who He has sent, Jesus Christ. What does it mean for you to believe in Jesus Christ? Every other work, it’s just your work. John 10:27 says, “Do not work for the food that spoils, but work for the food that endures to eternal life,” the eternal things.
(4) I and the Father are one (Jn. 10:30)
2. Work of Jesus
1) Good works (Jn. 10:32)
(1) Jews stoning for blasphemy (Jn. 10:33)
(2) Deny Jesus as God (Jn. 10:33)
(3) Jesus is God’s son (Jn. 10:36)
Matthew 6:33, Jesus Christ tells Peter, “You don’t think of the works of God, you just think of your own works.” This happened when Jesus Christ told His disciples that he must die and resurrect in three days, and Peter said, “No, you will not die,” and Jesus said, “You do not have the things of God in mind, but the things of men.” Then what are the things of God? God’s work is for Jesus Christ to die on the cross and resurrect. What must we do to do the work of God every single day? In today’s scripture, we read that Jesus Christ came to do the work of God, so then, how can we do the work of God? If we don’t do the work of God, you’ll have to spend your whole life doing your own work and then you’ll die. Your entire life, you’ll just do the work of blocking the work of God, just like Peter was doing.
2) Work of the Father
(1) Do not believe me unless I do the works of God (Jn. 10:37)
(2) If I do them, believe the works (Jn. 10:38)
(3) God is in Jesus, Jesus is in God (Jn. 10:38)
3) Work of the Father inside Jesus
(1) To believe in Jesus sent by God (Jn. 5:29)
(2) Gain eternal life (Jn. 5:40)
(3) Jesus’s flesh and blood – In Jesus, Jesus in them (Jn. 5:56)
Then, in order for Jesus’ work to be done within me, what is the meaning of His death and resurrection to me? Why did Jesus Christ need to die on the cross and resurrect? Why do I need Jesus to die on the cross and resurrect if all I need to do is make a living and eat? Isn’t just talking about Jesus a Christian? And if I go to a church and bow down to Jesus, won’t He give me blessings? For people who are going to church believing in that, I hope you will correct your understanding today.
3. Work of God in me
1) Jesus Christ – Death, Resurrection (Jn. 19:30)
(1) Jesus in Father, I am in Jesus, Jesus in me (Jn. 14:20)
(2) It is God who works in you to will and to act (Phil. 2:13)
What is the reason Jesus Christ has to die on the cross? It’s in Eph. 2:1, Jesus Christ had to die so that He could save us, who were dead in our transgressions and our sins, and all of our sins were given to Jesus Christ instead. All of the curses and disasters that are a result of our sin went to Jesus Christ instead, and when Jesus Christ resurrected, He overcame the authority of death. What exactly does that mean? What is our problem? Our problem is the sin of not believing in Jesus, and the death that results from that “sin and death” is actually ruled over by Satan, who has the authority of sin and death, and that is the problem of our lives. Our problems are not money, or problem is this. Our problem is not addiction, it’s that. Because that problem is not being solved, we get mental and physical problems, all sorts of life problems. So why did Jesus Christ have to die on the cross and resurrect? You need to know and believe in this reason in order for your walk of faith to begin.
(3) In order to fulfill his good purpose (Phil. 2:13)
Why do you keep having this repetitive, unending problem in your life? The cause of that problem must be completely broken. But what does it mean to believe in Jesus? It means that you died on the cross with Jesus Christ, and now, Jesus Christ lives inside of me. Now, Jesus Christ is doing HIs work inside of me. If the Lord is inside of me, doing His work, but I’m still trying to do my work, of course, it will not align.
So, through today’s worship, you need to always return back to your spiritual state of the gospel every time you wake up in the morning. You need to ask for Jesus Christ to completely take over you. Right now, you understand the gospel, but you don’t have the actual power of actualizing the gospel in your life. Phil. 2:13 says that God works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose. If you have received the gospel, it means you have received Jesus as your Lord and Master, that’s what it means for God’s Kingdom to be established.
In the past, I used everything as a tool to get more money. My goal for worshiping and coming to church, my goal for giving offerings, doing missions and evangelism, it was all for money. That person does not believe in God; they are actually worshiping the devil. Either that person has not received salvation or even if they have, they are just living a religious life. There are many church goers like that in America. Do you know why? Because the ideology of America is capitalism. The churches talk about blessing, but they make people worship money more and more. Even the members of the church think that God would give them more money if they do missions and evangelism, so their goal is making money, not saving souls. Until that fundamental personal state changes, you will keep being stuck in the spiritual state of your family line. If you have received Jesus as your Lord, then you have to give Him all sovereign control of your life, but you plan and design your own life, based on your own thoughts. That means you have sovereignty or control. Ultimately, it means you don’t want to serve God, just as the Jewish people in the scripture.
2) Kingdom of God
(1) Christ’s sovereignty and reign – In me
What about you? Curses and disasters will come endlessly. Why do people fail even as they live their walk of faith, why do repetitive problems keep coming up? It’s because we’re our own masters. When we are giving our worship, it may seem that Jesus is being our Lord, but as soon as we go back outside, we’re back to being our own lord. That is why enjoying the gospel means, you have to give all sovereignty to Jesus Christ and God’s Kingdom must be established upon you. If you are holding onto your own sovereignty, and you do whatever you want with your life, that’s just reckless living inside of the devil. Now that you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, you need to entrust your life for the Lord to lead it, that’s the gospel. In 1 Cor., it says we have a fortified stronghold inside of us. I have my stronghold of what I believe is correct, and when people disagree with me, I get a scar, and that leads to conflicts and problems. That stronghold upon me doesn’t break down even if I go to church.
When does it break down? 1 Cor. 10:5-9 says that only when we make our thoughts obedient to Christ will those strongholds in us to be broken down, this means that when you acknowledge Jesus Christ to be the sovereign Lord of your life, that is when the strongholds inside of you will be broken down. Your walk of faith is not just going back and forth to church, if you have received Jesus as your Christ, the Messiah and Savior, then the next step is to accept Him as the Lord and Master of your life. God’s Kingdom where He reigns must be established in my life. But if you are building your own kingdom inside of you, to establish your own plans, God will never let that be. My Kingdom, I want money. That’s why your walk of faith is not working out and your job is not working out; everything is not working out. For nonbelievers, things might work out better, but for you, God will never allow things to work out for you. Because you are children of God, there is nobody who can steal you from His hands.
(2) Kingdom of Satan – Kingdom of God
(3) Only power of Holy Spirit (Ac. 1:8)
3) Prayer
(1) Studies, Business – Work of God
God will only allow you to go in the direction of God’s will; if you are going in the opposite direction, He will make you kneel and follow. That’s why as soon as you wake up in the morning, you need to enjoy the prayer that proclaims the gospel; stop trying to pray a religious prayer to fulfill your own desires. What is a prayer that enjoys the gospel? As soon as you wake up in the morning, go pray and go into God’s sovereignty in faith, and so His sovereignty will reign over you and control you, but do you know why people don’t do that? It’s because you don’t want to give the sovereign control to the Lord. You want to live today with your own thoughts, you want to live today with your plans. That’s the reason for your failure. That’s the reason why your life isn’t happy. If you have received the gospel, then you need to receive the gospel, then you need to enjoy the gospel by praying in faith for Christ to take complete control with His sovereignty over you. That is how the Lord does the work of God inside of you. If the reason you are studying and working is to make money, then that is a huge problem. We must go into prayer in faith so that God does God’s work through my job. That is why we entrust everything to Him so that only the Holy Spirit can fully control me.
What is the Lord’s Day? The Lord’s Day is the Day when we can focus and concentrate on letting go of our own thoughts, receiving God’s Word instead, and being filled with His Holy Spirit. That is why on the Lord’s Day, we let go of all of our work, we let go of all of our thoughts, and we only worship Jesus Christ Who is our Lord. There are some people who listen to messages while they are working. I’m sorry to tell you this, that’s not worship; you’re doing your work, but because they’re so stuck in the religious life, they feel like they have to give worship, so they listen to the message while they’re doing their work, but they’re only doing their work, that’s not worship. That’s actually what the devil does, so we just keep opening channels for Satan to work through. Then, the things inside of you will not be broken down.
(2) Church – All peoples, Healing, Future generation
What is the work that the devil does? He murders, he kills you spiritually, he kills you mentally so that you can kill others. He was a liar from the beginning so he will tell you things that are correct but drag you into lies. Do you know the reason why elites can’t receive the gospel very well? It’s because they think they can succeed with their own abilities, they don’t believe in Jesus. They think they can go in a way that is right for them. Jesus is the Truth and we must follow after Jesus, but they follow their own correct path. And one day, they will fall. And the person won’t know why they fell. They said, “I lived my walk of faith so diligently, I gave so much suffering, but why is my life like this?” It’s because you went down a path that you thought was correct. Instead of following the words of Truth and instead of Jesus Christ, Who is the Truth, becoming your Lord, you are making yourself your own lord. That is how the devil works so subtly. If there are any of you like that today, let go of what you think is right.
In Gen. 3, Satan tempted mankind by saying, “If you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will be like God, judging what is right and what is wrong,” and that’s why everyone goes wherever they think is right, but that’s not right because God is the One Who is truly right. We need to follow God’s Truth. As soon as you wake up in the morning, the very beginning must be, you give yourself to the Lord to control you in faith through prayer. That’s the filling of the holy spirit. If Christ completely fills and controls my thoughts, my heart, and my emotions, then we go according to Jesus’ control. What is God’s work? Faith in the cross. Satan’s authority has been destroyed on the cross, and nonbelievers are stuck under Satan’s authority. The sovereign power of the Lord must be spread all the way to those nonbelievers so they may be brought into the Kingdom of God, and that is what you call the work of God. Your work and your studies must become the work of God. Your job, your work is just eating, making a living, surviving; that person is not doing the work of the Lord; they are doing their own work, going down their own path; you and I must not become like that. We need to pray for God to do His work through our business, and we must be a witness of that work. Through your business and your studies, you must use them as a tool to heal people who are diseased and save people who are trapped under Satan’s authority and bring them to Jesus Christ. That’s why the church does God’s work in all nations, and we go to all peoples and heal them. And we raise up the future generations looking forward into the future.
(3) Temple – 3 Courtyards
Why do we need the Temple construction? To do this work; what else? Why does the Temple need to relocate? Because whatever region we go to, we stay and completely do God’s Kingdom there. Once we’re done, then the next generation must arise and completely seize that region, spiritually, so that through this region, the entire world may receive the gospel. That’s why I hope you will pray for the Temple construction for this work. People who pray for this will receive answers. Because this is a Temple construction for the Lord’s work. We are not building a building just to boast of our own righteousness. May your home be used for the work of God, that is correct, that is the reason you have a house, so that if people from different nations come to visit, you can bring them into your house, you can give them food, a place to rest, you can worship with them, give them the Word of God, you can invite future generations, remnants, or missionaries. Why else would you have a home? This is what you should be praying for. Who cares how many square feet you have; are you bragging to someone about that? You’re just revealing your own righteousness. May your home be the home that does the work of God. Who cares if your car is good, use your car to drive the missions team to Mexico; do the work of the Lord. Just examples. Why do we have to do that though? Why do we have to go to Harvard? It’s all for the work of the Lord. You shouldn’t go anywhere for your own work.
Conclusion
1. Me – Work of God (Mt. 6:33)
In conclusion, I am the person who does the work of God. Matt. 6:33, Jesus Christ says, “First seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then everything else you need will follow you.” So I hope you will not live your life chasing all the other things that are bound to follow, but instead, live your life chasing after the Word of God. May you and I fulfill the Word of God throughout the week.
