본론
I think it is a very interesting story.
And we can learn about a great truth from the story as well.
Do you know who
Paul and Silas are? and what they were doing?
Do you know who Paul and Silas are? and what they were doing?
They were missionaries, right?
After Jesus has gone to heaven, His disciples followed Jesus’s teaching and started to spread the gospel to the whole world.
Any of you know how many times Paul went to his mission trip?
Yes, that’s right.
Three times.
And this story was happened when Paul was in his sencond mission trip.
disciples followed Jesus’s teaching and started to spread the gospel to the whole world.
Any of you know how many times Paul went to his mission trip?
Yes, that’s right.
Three times.
And this story was happened when Paul was in his sencond mission trip.
It happened when they arrived in the city called Phillipi.
It was in Europe.
You see, here’s a map of Paul’s mission trip.
They were Israelites, so they departed from here, Israel.
And they went through the entire Turkey, and got to the city named Philippi which was in the land of Greece.
Finally!
The good news of Jesus reached out to Europe through Paul and Sillas for the very first time.
It was a huge city, and a rich city.
Here are some footages of the city.
This is their theater, and this is ruinBut, well, they were not friendly at all.
Some of them were very interested in what Paul said about Jesus.
They loved to hear more so followed him and became the first members of the first church in Europe.
But most of them hate to hear what Paul and Silas say about Jesus and see they spread gospel and cast away demons in their city.
So they beat Paul and Silas really really bad and throw them into jail.
It was a horrible thing to happen.
don’t you think so?
Have you ever visited jail of any kind?
It’s horrible.
I haven’t been to the jail where real criminals are but I’ve been to an old jail in the castle of Edinburgh, Scottland, now we can visit as a tourist, which was used hundred years ago to lock up criminals.
It was not fun at all.
The rooms where the criminals are locked in are called cells.
And the size of the cell is too small.
The toilet is right beside you in the room.
You wash, you sleep, you read, you go to toilet basically in the same place 24/7.
And, here in the Bible, Paul and Silas’s situation was way worse than the prisoners of our days.
The prison of Phillipi was made of rock, it was basically a cave that had no light, no window, and of course no toilet system or the place to wash.
And they fastened Paul and Silas’s feet in the stocks.
They were in the worst situation possible.
They were beaten, they must be hungry and definitely thirsty, they locked in the jail, and they could not even move within the cell because their feet were locked in the stocks.
How can things be worse than this?
You might have a moment like this.
right?
Sometimes bad friends make fun of you.
make fun of you being short, being chubby, being ugly, even being a Korean American, maybe.
We don’t want those things to happen to us, but they happen to us from time to time, unexpectedly.
What do we usually do when we are in situations like this?
I remember what I did when I was in 5th grade.
I was in China and there was a boy who constantly come to me and cursed.
He made fun of me because I was a Korean and I’m from Korea.
I remember I was so mad and sad at the same time, I went to the corner of school yard, and cried for 30 minutes, shouting at God saying “why do you make me a Korean?
why do you even bring me here?
I could do just fine if I were in Korea with my own friends!”
I don’t know how you would act in a situations like this.
But one thing I know is that it is so hard for us to be happy when we are in those hard moments.
But, Paul and Silas were different.
What did they do when they were still in prison and locked into stocks?
lets read verse 24 and 25 once again.
Acts 16:24,25
What did they do?
Yeah!
They were praying and singing hymns to God! and it was so loud and clear that other prisoners also could hear them!
Isn’t it crazy?
Wouldn’t you think they are mad if they sing full of joy in prison while waiting for their execution?
But they did!
And not even in a small voice!
they sang loud enough so that all other prisoners could hear them singing hymns to God!
Why do you think they could do such things?
How could we pray and sing hymns to God when we are in difficult situations?
How can we rejoice always?
Because their joy was not something that can be stolen.
They were happy not because they were handsome, not because they were rich, not because they had pretty clothes, not because they had coolest friends in town, not because they spoke three or four languages.
They were happy because the Great God was their father and They knew how much God loves them!
If we are happy because we have something, we cannot be rejoice always because there are moments that all these things eventually go away.
right?
We are happy even when we are bullied by bad friends, when we feel low about ourselves, feel sad about what happened to our parents, feel angry about why happened to our brothers and sisters.
We can still rejoice always, because our joy is not stand on the sand, but on the rock who is Jesus Christ our Savior.
That is something that cannot be stolen.
Nobody can take away our joy in God, if we put our joy in God.
Nobody can take away the love God gave us in the worst possible situation.
Nobody can shake your faith that God gave you as a gift.
We can rejoice always, because God is good, and he is great, and he loves us so much.
That’s why we can rejoice even when we are in the very bad situations.
We are all familiar with the phrase “God is good all the time” right?
In VBS, we shout out loud God is good, all the time, all the time God is good.
right?
That is why we can be rejoice always.
God is good, all the time.
