Since they had such a strong sense of hierarchy, it was not easy for them to invite guests home. When the Pharisee Simon invited Jesus to his house for dinner, it was an indication that Jesus had a well-respected status. On the same occasion, a local infamous sinful woman in the town was also present at the Pharisee\u2019s house. Try to imagine Jesus and the woman being together in the same house, what kind of picture it would be like? Now as the scene is re-enacted, shall we listen intently to what is being said and observe what is happening in this house?  What message is being communicated? <\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000How does Jesus point out Simon\u2019s blind spot? Ironically, the appearance of the woman becomes an invitation. Simon regards himself as the one to host the feast, and yet Jesus invites Simon to \u201csee\u201d himself as he looks at the woman. <\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Simon is challenged to see himself first and then he can then see Jesus who is in front of him. He needs to note two things: (1) both he and the woman are sinners in the eyes of Jesus. He is in the presence of Jesus who is not just a prophet but the Lord who has the power to forgive sins. Simon needs to understand that before Jesus no one has a higher status. Today he has pointed out that this woman is a sinner, but he must face the fact that he too is a sinner, because he cannot expect his slightly better moral character can wipe away his identity as a sinner. (2) He needs to understand we cannot first experience love before our sins are forgiven. Instead, we must first experience forgiveness so that we can love. This is analogous to the parable of someone owing a debt, which tells us that it is not how much we owe that is that issue. Rather, the more we owe, the more impressed and grateful we will feel when the lender writes off our debt while another who is very conscious of owing less will probably be unable to feel any gratitude at all. <\/p>\n\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Dear brothers and sisters, I do not mean to tell you that you have always to bear in mind that \u201cI am a sinner,\u201d but I am only reminding each of you that what is most important is that you always remember these words: \u201cI am a sinner who has received God\u2019s abundant grace.\u201d The situation is just like that of a small child who has done something wrong. We can of course analyze the drawback of the incident with him. But what allows the child to grow up in a healthy way and what he can never forget is that even if he has committed a mistake, his parents continue to accept him, embrace him anew and will never abandon him. I have seen people who have experienced this grace; in fact I am one of them. What about you? <\/p>\n\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000I will soon graduate from the Seminary and become a minister, standing from the pulpit, preaching the Bible\u2019s truth and speaking to those in bondage of sin. I will proclaim \u201cthe Lord\u2019s love is immense,\u201d and will anxiously shed tears for their sins. But I must always honestly examine myself to see myself as one who is also constantly tempted by sin. I am keenly aware that I also need to resolve my weaknesses and turn from my sins with Jesus\u2019 help so that God can set me free from them. <\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8cc055d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"8cc055d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-907ce4a\" data-id=\"907ce4a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c092fbb elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c092fbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/%E5%B0%8F%E5%9C%9602-1.png?fit=768%2C914&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-74890\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5186340\" data-id=\"5186340\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-262e8f6 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"262e8f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-262e8f6{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc05e8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc05e8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Wong Kwan<\/b> (M.Div.

In this brief confessional statement in which Paul expresses his will, we come to a three-dimensional understanding of Paul. We can see that he is particularly aware of his personal limitations. Yet we also observe that his self-knowledge is quite balanced, since he explicitly admits what he is not, but he has no problem declaring his true identity. Similarly, this self-knowledge is what we, as seminary students, ministers-to-be, incumbent preachers and ministers, staff in theological seminaries and even all who are ministering to God, have to think about seriously and also know explicitly. <\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000In response to his adversaries who have questioned his identity, Paul in Galatians 1:1 is quick to declare that his apostleship comes not from man but from Jesus Christ and God the Father. In verse 10, he makes it clear that he does nothing to win the approval of men but that he never forgets that his true identity is that of a servant of Christ. Here the word translated \u201cservant\u201d means \u201cslave\u201d in Greek. It is important to point out that the \u201cslave\u201d metaphor in this verse and throughout the book of Galatians has a special meaning. As Dr. Sam Tsang has presented an in-depth study expounding its meaning, I will not repeat what he has said here.  To sum it up simply in my words, to be slaves means: being totally dependent, having lost one\u2019s own sovereignty and allowing one\u2019s self to be subordinate totally to someone. Paul implies that he is in humble obedience and in total submission to Christ. Paul is well aware of the honor of being an apostle since it means he has the authority granted from above. More importantly, he never forgets that this honored identity is inseparable from his total submission to Christ. That means he always remembers that he is a slave of Christ whom he must always serve and submit himself. <\/p>\n\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000During our ministry, this kind of self-knowledge we see in Paul is of utmost importance. We too need always to be aware that it is our identity as servants of Christ which supplies us with the strength to fight against the temptation to be overly impressed with the voices that cheer us on with shouts of \u201cbravo.\u201d It is Christ who escorts us through the days of bitter winter and through the currents of adversity. It is He who often needs to remind us to sharpen our ministry\u2019s focus. From the beginning to the end of his ministry, Paul stands as our example as he always remembers his responsibility to his master. He sums this up clearly in 2 Corinthians 4:5 where he says frankly, \u201cFor we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus\u2019 sake.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026Self-knowledge means that we continually struggle both to know and to see oneself. In order for us to see ourselves clearly, there needs to be light and God Himself is the source of true light! Often He illuminates us through His word, yet we need to allow enough time and room for His word to penetrate our hearts so that we can see our own darkness in the dead alleys of our hearts. Given time and thought, His word can help us discover a new outlet opened to us by Christ. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69924d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"69924d6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8946ffc\" data-id=\"8946ffc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ffbd79 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ffbd79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/%E5%B0%8F%E5%9C%9603-1.png?fit=768%2C914&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-74891\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e199f5\" data-id=\"0e199f5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee63d59 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee63d59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-ee63d59{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0da40b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0da40b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Soo Yard-li<\/b> (B.A.P.S.

Neither are they carrying any advanced weapons to fight against the formidable citizens of Jericho. However, God makes it clear that what Joshua needs most at that time is neither external equipment nor superior conditions, but instead a deep faith in God. From verses 9 to 12 in chapter 5, we can see how God builds up Joshua\u2019s faith through three things.<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000\u2026\u2026<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Verse 14: \u201cNeither,\u201d he replied, \u201cbut as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.\u201d Then Joshua falls facedown to the ground in reverence and asks, \u201cWhat message does my Lord have for His servant?\u201d<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Joshua asks, \u201cAre you for us or for our enemies?\u201d The messenger replied, \u201cNeither. But as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.\u201d This answer causes Joshua to fall facedown to the ground and to ask, \u201cWhat message does my Lord have for His servant?\u201d This attitude of submission serves as a good reminder of how we can allow ourselves to be taught by our elders. For example, when we see our grandparents, we will remember that our identity is their grandchildren. Before our parents, we are children; before our teachers, we are students; before our pastor, we are church members; before a church member, we are ministers. Joshua knows well that he is the commander of the Israelites but upon seeing the messenger sent by God, he immediately submits and thoroughly humbles himself. He calls himself a servant, expressing his willingness to take order from God\u2019s messenger. We are intrigued by Joshua\u2019s balanced temperament: he has courage, patience, strong faith, yet he is capable of submission. We see in him the other side of a great man as he teaches us that in order to \u201cattempt great things for God,\u201d we sometimes have to learn to let go!<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2026\u2026<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Verse 15: \u201cThe commander of the Lord\u2019s army replied, \u2018Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.\u2019 Joshua did not hesitate to obey his Lord.\u201d<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000This commander reveals himself just when Joshua is coming close to the city of Jericho. This is a dangerous zone, yet it is in such a place that God chooses to reveal Himself. The presence of God transforms even the enemy\u2019s domain into a holy place. The commander orders Joshua to take off his sandals to acknowledge he is standing on a holy place. When Joshua takes off his sandals, he is acting out his submission to God and showing that he believes God will perform a miracle in an impossible place. When the messenger tells Joshua he is standing on holy ground, we are reminded of the time when Joshua\u2019s teacher, Moses, once set foot on a holy place on Mount Sinai where he was given the order to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Today, as Joshua is about to complete that mission, he does not rely on himself. Instead, he puts his trust in the one who claims to be the commander of the army of the Lord, the one who stands ready to fight for the people of Israel.<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61dd285 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"61dd285\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have extracted the following passages from the sermons of three graduating students to share their sermon messages with our readers. Although these passages are only a small part of the entire sermon and are inevitably somewhat fragmented, we still hope that readers who were unable to attend the morning assembly can also share in the essence of the graduation sermons. Somewhat coincidentally, these three sermons, from different perspectives, collectively reveal the spiritual reflections of prospective preachers on their own duties\u2026 The following are excerpts from three graduating students&#039; sermons. Despite the fact that they are just a small portion of the whole sermon and therefore seem inevitably scattered, it is our hope that our readers, who could not be present at our morning chapel, can also share dribs and drabs of the graduating sermons. It is a bit incidental that these three sermons reveal from different dimensions that these ministers-to-be are conscious of their own identity. Luo Jiayang (Graduating Master of Divinity Program) Sermon Topic: Greater Sin, Greater Grace (Luke 7:36-50)\u2026 The Pharisees possessed a noble status, and their class consciousness was strong; they did not easily invite guests. Now, Jesus was invited to a meal at Simon&#039;s house, demonstrating Jesus&#039;s status. On the other hand, a notorious sinner in the city also entered the home of this prestigious Pharisee. What picture emerges when they are in the same room? Let us listen carefully to what is happening in this room and what message it conveys. ... How does Jesus break through Simon&#039;s blind spot? The woman&#039;s appearance is an invitation. Simon thought he was being invited, but Jesus invited Simon to &quot;see&quot; himself by seeing the woman. ... Simon must first see himself, and then see Jesus Christ before him. Therefore, he must understand two things: (1) He and the woman are both sinners in Jesus&#039; eyes. Jesus is not only a prophet but also a forgiver. He must understand that no one has a higher status before Him. Today, He points out that the woman is a sinner, but He Himself is also a sinner, and His sinfulness is not erased by His greater virtues. (2) What people need to experience is not to love first and then be forgiven, but to be forgiven first and then love. Just like the parable of the debtor.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[317],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-317"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u8b1b\u7ae0\u9ede\u9ede\u6ef4\u6ef4 - \u9999\u6e2f\u6d78\u4fe1\u6703\u795e\u5b78\u9662<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/en\/?p=74902\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u8b1b\u7ae0\u9ede\u9ede\u6ef4\u6ef4 - \u9999\u6e2f\u6d78\u4fe1\u6703\u795e\u5b78\u9662\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u3000\u3000\u6211\u5011\u5f9e\u4e09\u4f4d\u7562\u696d\u73ed\u540c\u5b78\u7684\u8b1b\u7ae0\u62bd\u51fa\u4ee5\u4e0b\u4e00\u4e9b\u6bb5\u843d\uff0c\u8207\u8b80\u8005\u5206\u4eab\u8b1b\u9053\u4fe1\u606f\u3002\u96d6\u7136\u9019\u4e9b\u6bb5\u843d\u53ea\u662f\u6574\u7bc7\u8b1b\u7ae0\u7684\u4e00\u5c0f\u90e8\u5206\uff0c\u4e5f\u96e3\u514d\u6709\u9ede\u96f6\u6563\uff0c\u4f46\u6211\u5011\u4ecd\u5e0c\u671b\u8b93\u672a\u80fd\u7f6e\u8eab\u65e9\u6703\u7684\u8b80\u8005\u4e5f\u80fd\u5206\u4eab\u7562\u696d\u8b1b\u9053\u7684\u9ede\u9ede\u6ef4\u6ef4\u3002\u6709\u9ede\u6e4a\u5de7\uff0c\u9019\u4e09\u7bc7\u8b1b\u7ae0\u5f9e\u4e0d\u540c\u5c64\u9762\u5171\u540c\u6d41\u9732\u4e86\u6e96\u50b3\u9053\u8005\u5c0d\u81ea\u8eab\u8077\u5206\u7684\u5fc3\u9748\u53cd\u601d\u2026\u2026 The following are the excerpts from three graduating students\u2019 sermons, despite the fact that they are just a small portion of the whole sermon and therefore seem inevitably scattered, it is our hope that our readers who could not be present at our morning chapel can also share dribs and drabs of the graduating sermons.
