You will be judged unrighteously, but if you judge righteously you will be judged righteously

Hyung Jin Sean Moon started his sermon by explaining the origin of the Christmas holiday.

The early Christians in the Roman Empire were being hunted down because they would not worship the Roman Emperor or other Roman “gods.”

The Romans were celebrating Sol Invictus or the “Unconquered Sun,” associated with the winter solstice and observed on December 25. Christians could show that they were celebrating a holiday, even though it was for the birth of Jesus, not a Roman “god.”

The story of Jesus was the incredible victory of an innocent man. And not just an innocent man, but God’s “substantial body” on earth. He was condemned to death by sinners, yet he chose to go through the path of an agonizing, painful death. Romans and Jewish leaders thought they had removed the “problem,” but on the 3rd day, Jesus rose from death and appeared to his disciples. That changed history.
