In Place

November 8, 2025

The Moon was massive and bright on Wednesday evening. As I was taking the girls to piano lessons that evening, we were in awe of the beauty and wonder of nature. We were curious and wondered why the Moon was so big! Later that evening, Sebin told me excitedly that the full Moon seemed bigger because it was the “supermoon!” She also mentioned that the next one would be on December 5.

The shape and size of the Moon differ each night, and throughout the night, due to a  scientific fact we all know. The Moon circles around our planet. The right amount of  Earth’s gravitational force keeps the Moon flying around us. That is the same thing for Earth and other planets of our solar system. We circle around the Sun. Without the Earth, the Moon would not be in its place, and without the Sun, the planets would not be in their place.

The scripture reading for today comes from 1 Corinthians 2:2. Paul confesses, “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” How powerful is that! He is saying that he is drawn to Jesus and His sacrificing act of death on the cross. Jesus and the cross is the center of Paul’s life. Paul says that he cannot live without Christ. I am convinced that this should be our life as well. Our life without the cross would be meaningless and we would not be in our place. As we take part in the foot washing and the communion service today, I urge you to completely set your eyes on the cross and let Jesus reign in your heart.

Counting the Days

November 1, 2025

It’s been only three days (at the time of writing this) since my wife went to Korea, and I already miss her. She is coming back. I already know the date of her return, but she is greatly missed, and so we talk to her on FaceTime twice a day. We are counting the days.

While she is away, she has given me a mission. Well, actually there are a few, but the most important mission is that I feed the girls in a healthy way. The girls are very responsible and know how to take care of themselves. They practice their piano, do their daily homework, and clean up after themselves, but it is my mission to feed them healthily. When my wife returns, I don’t want them to look skinny or malnourished, I mean, that would be completely wrong, right?

As I think about the absence of my wife (which is quite noticeable), I think about Jesus in heaven, who promised to return. Meanwhile, Jesus gave us a mission. He said, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8. The mission is that we become witnesses and tell others about the good news of Jesus. This is in sync with the Great Commission I wrote about last week. When Jesus returns, we would like more people to be saved, and that is our mission. Just like FaceTiming with Hyemi each day, we FaceTime with God through the Bible and prayers daily, and we count the days of His return. And as we wait, our mission is to be His witnesses.

I thank you for your prayers and support of our ongoing evangelism, Revelation Today. I pray that as we witness for Jesus, and follow the mission given to us, we will hasten the return of Jesus.

As You Go

October 25, 2025

The Evangelism seminar started a couple of nights ago. It’s a blessing for us to deeply study God’s Word and the topics that started the movement to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

A few days ago, I was reading a post from an Adventist pastor in Tennessee, Daniel Jeon, and he has this page called ‘Jeology, the study of Jesus.’ He wrote about the Great Commission, and here is a part of it:

In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, most English Bibles translate Jesus’ words as, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” But when we look closer at the original Greek, we see something important. The word “go” (πορευθέντες, poreuthentes) is not a command. It’s a participle—meaning “as you go.” The only direct command in the entire Great Commission is “make disciples” (μαθητεύσατε, matheteusate).

What this means is that the act of making disciples and preaching the good news of Jesus is something that should be done naturally in our daily lives. It’s not limited to specific events or certain occasions, but proclaiming the love of Jesus and leading others to Jesus is something that we should do naturally all the time ‘as you go.’ All church members and followers of Jesus are disciple makers by living out the life of Christ, at school, at workplaces, at market places, wherever you are. Thank you to our church family for being the living evangelists. May you reflect the character of Christ wherever you are.
