“The most powerful weapon for silencing the mouth of the world is not brilliant theological apologetics, but the practice of a holy life that resembles Jesus Christ.” “Now it happened, as Jesus went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?’ But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. Then He answered them, saying, ‘Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?’ And they could not answer Him regarding these things” (Luke 14:1–6).

Introduction
I
hope and pray for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be
preached. All of us, Christians, must
preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must voluntarily preach the good
news of Jesus Christ. Even if not
voluntarily, we are commissioned to preach the gospel. Therefore, according to the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, we must immediately obey in faith and preach the gospel of Jesus
Christ. If we do not preach the gospel, woe
is us (1 Corinthians 9:16).
I
thank God for being able to publish a senior pastor Missionary Chang Seh Kim’s
first book “The Gospel of God (Romans 5~8)” last year in commemoration of the 42nd anniversary of the establishment of Victory
Presbyterian Church, that he proclaimed during the weekly Wednesday service
during the pandemic period. I am grateful and happy to have his
second book, “The Gospel of Jesus Christ (The Four Gospels)” in this new year. In this book, I took notes of Missionary Kim’s
sermons that he preached about Jesus centered on the Gospels of Matthew, of
Mark, of Luke, and of John every Wednesday worship and organized the notes and
the meditations in this way to make this book.
What I hope is that the Lord will use this book according to the Lord's
will so that the gospel of Jesus Christ may be spread more widely.
Praying that the gospel of Jesus Christ be spread more
widely,
James Kim
