The most blessed person in the world
Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 15:12~19
Title: The most blessed person in the world Sunday morning Worship
12. But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13. If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

I will continue to preach from the last week. Last week, we looked at the reality of Buddhism, and I would like to review it again. In Korea, Buddhism is 대승불교(Mahayanist Buddhism). 대승불교(Mahayanist Buddhism) is not a religion. Buddhism in all countries, including Korea, Japan, China, India, Vietnam and Myanmar, is 대승불교(Mahayanist Buddhism). Unlike 소승불교(Hinayana Buddhism) founded by Sakyamuni, 대승불교(Mahayanist Buddhism) was founded by a man named 나가르 주나(Nagar Juna).
나가르 주나(Nagar Juna)[(Sanskrit: नागार्जर)] did not accept the original Buddha-made 야함경(Ahamkyung)[阿含經]. He criticized Ahamkyung[] violently and created a new scripture of his own. Those scriptures are 금강경(Geumgang Sutra), the 반야심경(Banya Heart Sutra), 화엄경(Hwaron Sutra), and the 법화경(Beophwa Sutra) used in Korean temples.
However, these scriptures created by 나가르 주나(Nagar Juna[नागार्ज]) are the scriptures advocated by 나가르 주나(Nagar Juna) himself, which has no relations to Buddha. The problem is that 나가르주나(Nagar Juna) does not accept 아함경(Ahamkyung) created by Buddha.
So if you search on the Internet, there is a 대승비불설(Daeseungbibulseol)[大乘非佛說]. 대승비불설(Daeseungbibulseol)[大乘非佛說] is concluded that the 대승불교(Mahayanist Buddhist) scriptures currently used in Korean Buddhism cannot be regarded as the teachings of the Buddha because they were created by 나가르 주나(Nagar Juna) 700 years after the death of Sakyamuni. Therefore, 대승비불설(Daeseungbibulseol)[大乘非佛說] argues that the teaching of Mahayanist Buddhism is not that of Sakyamuni.
Even in the current Buddhist world, the 대승비불설(Daeseungbibulseol)[大乘非佛說] is really a big issue. If the scriptures that preaching the teachings of Sakyamuni are not actually teachings of Sakyamuni, isn’t the problem serious? But the reality is what it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, we all already know the unfortunate will which was left by Buddhist monk 성철(Sung-cheol). His will was published in the 조선일보(Chosun Ilbo) which is the newspaper of Korea, on April 23, 1987. And it was very shocking.
This is the content of his will. “ Sakyamuni was originally a big thief, and 달마(Dharma) was a small thief. Deceive the West Heaven(which is 서천) and the East Earth(which is 동토). Thief, thief! Deceive those foolish men and women, open their own eyes, and confidently enter Hell.” In particular, if you look at what was reported in the 조선일보(Chosun Ilbo) which is Korean newspaper on April 23, 1987, this is recorded at the beginning.
“Welcome, Satan, I respect and worship you. You are originally a holy Buddha.” Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a very shocking event. Even more, a monk who appeared on Buddhist TV said that, Buddha is in Hell. He said that Buddha is always in hell.
Hallelujah
Ladies and gentlemen, we also can think in other way. What if the God whom you and I believed in all our lives is not a real God? What if the truth that we have believed in our whole life is wrong an useless? How do we feel?
19. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

Let’s read today’s bible verse once more, Verse 19.
Hallelujah
We got a clue of ‘what if’. The saints believe that there is a heaven, believe that there is a soul, believe in the existence of God, who is a spirit, believe in the existence of angels, and live a life of faith. Then, if there is no existence of heaven after death, no existence of hell, no existence of angels, no existence of Holy Trinity God, how poor it would be.

Even more surprisingly, there is a Syrian IS crew member who has experienced heaven. IS crews are falsely educated that they can live with 77 virgins in heaven if they commit suicide attack. The IS crew from the video who was living is Syria, received the same training and were preparing for suicide attack, and also killed numerous people in the process.
Then one day, he was shot and died. The surprising fact is that he did not live with 77 virgins in Heaven after being shot and killed, but was taken to Hell. And after a while, God came with the bright light, point out the sin and ask him to choose whether to go to hell or go back to earth, repent and live a new life. Let’s watch the video together.

Hallelujah
After death, people must go to two different places. The sinful person goes to hell. They go to hell because of their sins. Great sins or small sins, regardless of any sins, if you have any sin, you have no choice but to go to hell. There is a testimony of Pastor 조용기(Yonggi Cho), who retired from the 여의도 순복음 교회(Yoido Full Gospel Church), that he went to hell one day.
Let’s watch together.

Hallelujah
Dear saints! The Lord said to Judas Iscariot, who sold Jesus, “If he hadn't been born, it would have been good for him. ” Let’s read Matthew chapter 26:23~24 together.
Matthew 26:23 Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

Hallelujah
The reason why Jesus said to Judas Iscariot, who sold Jesus, "It would have been better for him if he had not been born," is feeling sorry that he would had escaped punishment of hell if he had not been born.
It means that if you weren't born, you wouldn't suffer from hell. Dear saints, we have seen and heard the reality and cruelty of hell. However, we are saved saints from the punishment of hell through the blood of Jesus Christ. And He gave resurrection and eternal life as a gift of blessing.
If the Jesus whom you and I believe, have not been resurrected, the most unfortunate person in the world is a person who did not believe in Jesus according to the apostle Paul's confession. However, if you think on the contrary, the happiest and most blessed person in the world is the one who believes in Jesus as my Savior. Let’s read today’s bible verse 12 to 14 together.
12. But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13. If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

Hallelujah!
We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and the blood of the cross which is the forgiveness of sins. No matter what kind of sins block us, the precious blood of Jesus Christ forgives us.
