Jesus said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me” (Jn 5:39). This message is that to obtain eternal life, one must come to meet the God who comes to this earth in the flesh.
Not every church provides eternal life; instead, it is where God dwells that the blessing of eternal life is bestowed. Mighty God is present with us in Zion, the city that observes the appointed feasts of God (Ps 33:20–21). The weekly feast Sabbath and the annual seven feasts in three times—the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles—are the truth of eternal life granted to Zion (Lev 23). Among them, the Passover is the day when Jesus gave bread and wine, calling them His “flesh and blood,” and promised, “If you eat, you will have eternal life.” Since you have become one with God as His children by observing the Passover, even when disaster comes to you, it will behold the flesh and blood of God within you and pass over you. God said, “You are mine; you will not be burned by the fire, and the waters will not sweep over you” (Isa 43:1–3).
The reason for bringing disaster is that people have forsaken the word of God. To receive salvation, one must follow the words of God, which guide the way of life and grant life. Some people say that the Passover was abolished, but God commanded His people to keep it for generations to come (Ex 12:11–14). The Passover is what Jesus left as His will just before He died on the cross (1 Co 5:7–8; Lk 22:15).
Jesus came at His first coming with the amazing truth of the New Covenant Passover, which enables us to live forever by partaking in the sacred body of eternal God, and He came again in this age with the Passover. We must proclaim Christ Ahnsahnghong who has brought the Passover of the new covenant, so that people will believe in Him. In Isa 2:2–3, it is written, “All nations will stream to Zion, to Jerusalem, to learn the way of life.” As this word says, all nations are coming to Korea like doves flying. Unable to hear the words of eternal life, people struggled in despair until God brought the Passover from Korea at the ends of the earth in the east. Now, seeking God and His grace of salvation, many peoples come, saying, “I myself am going” (Am 8:11; Zec 8:20–23).
In the days of Noah, God said, “Go into the ark,” and now the Bible says, “Flee to Zion before the disaster comes” (Jer 4:5–6). Zion is the safest ark of salvation. We must seek God who dwells in Zion. In Zion, with the New Covenant Passover, God comes in the name of Ahnsahnghong to abolish death. We waited for the One who brings the truth of eternal life, and God revealed the Passover, the truth of life hidden in the Bible, appearing in Zion (Isa 25:6-9). How blessed we are!
Let us share the blessings that have come upon Zion with many people so that they can come to salvation. Life is like a fleeting mist and morning dew, but during our time here, we must believe in God, preparing for salvation. If we do not proclaim it, who will hear this wonderful message of salvation? And how will they enter Zion? We have a responsibility to awaken them to God on behalf of Him. Whether they come or not is up to their thoughts, but we must fulfill our responsibilities. God said, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (Eze 3:17; Ro 10:13–15).
God, who came to find His children lost in heaven, ascended and earnestly requested us to diligently spread the message of salvation—the New Covenant Passover guiding us toward eternal life and shielding us from disasters—as He commanded in Zion, where the feasts are celebrated. Let us diligently spread the message of God’s love—workers at workplace, students at school, soldiers in the military, and housewives in the neighborhood, leading people to Zion and salvation. By doing so, I hope that you will receive much love and reward from God as His children.
