Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
There is a eternal message hidden in our chinese culture.
God created man in His image.
When God reset the whole world, there was only 8 of us.
Man become very prideful. They want to build the tower to reach heaven because they want their name to be honored.
舟+八+口=船
Vessel + Eight + Person + Boat
土+ 人+ 古
一+大三天
The One supreme God is kind and gracious.
元和之曲（Song Of Yuan He）
When Shangdi (the Supreme God) divided Night and Day, as well as Heaven and Earth, the grand work of creation began.
Shangdi, You created the sun, the moon, and the five elements. Your radiance is wondrous and beautiful. The heavens are stretched out like a curtain, sustaining this world. All things thrive and flourish under the illumination of Your divine light.
As Your servant, I must worship You and devoutly give thanks to our God.
(Song Of Xiu He)
Shangdi, please graciously hear our voices.
You are our beloved heavenly Father.
I am Your unworthy and ignorant child, unable to fully express my emotions.
I thank You for receiving my reverence towards You. Your holy name is exalted.
With great respect, we present these jewels and silks. Just as swallows rejoice in spring, we join together to praise Your abundant and boundless love throughout the world.
The emperor represent God to the most high God.
White House = 14 football fields, Forbidden City = 135 football fields, The temple grounds of ShangDi = 510 football fields
Genesis 2:7 NKJV
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:8 NKJV
8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
Genesis 2:10 NKJV
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
Unless is given by heaven, man can receive nothing.
Genesis 2:17 NKJV
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 3:7 NKJV
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
Genesis 4:7 YLT
7 Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.’
Sin offering is an offering to Jesus
Know God’s heart is always put His Son at the door.
Unless we take the lamb and kill it, there is no acceptance.
Revelation 3:20 NKJV
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
God first.
Gospel hidden in the chinese character.
We shall be greatly blessed because we have the Lamb of God.
We are new creation. Jesus define our lives.
This year is the 3rd Day, we are intensively blessed.
We are greatly blessed. Always see our identity in Christ Jesus.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
