God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

The grace of God’s restoration
When
God restores us to our former state,
He will
heal and mend the wounds we have received,
grant
us peace and prosperity,
rebuild
us as before,
cleanse
us from all the sins we have committed against Him,
and
forgive our sins and acts of rebellion.
We will
become a source of joy, praise, and glory to God,
and the
whole world will hear of all the good things God has done for us,
and the
abundant blessings and prosperity He has bestowed,
and
they will be filled with awe and trembling.
At that
time, we will rejoice and be glad,
offering
thanksgiving sacrifices in the Lord's temple,
and the
sound of singing, saying,
"Give
thanks to the Almighty Lord. The Lord is good,
and His
love endures forever" will be heard again.
(Jeremiah
33:6-11, Korean Modern Bible).
