Absolute Surrender (Pt3): The Danger of Death is Accepted by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Jesus challenges us to "take up our cross" and follow Him. What is this all about? What does He mean by "take up your cross"? We dig into this question in the message. In the week leading up to Easter, right after WW2, the churches in Korea had begun to get back to the task of ministry. The Bible institutes were re-opening after being closed by the Japanese army. Bob Pierce pointed out that a sunrise service would be held in the city of Pusan on Easter morning. Walking was the main mode of transportation for most of the people. With the service beginning at 5:00 a.m., many of the people would need to leave their homes at 3:00 a.m. to arrive on time for the service. It was extremely cold at this time of the day. Bob worried that the people would freeze and wondered if anyone would come to the service. Bob took a jeep on the road to the service and then walked to the top of the mountain with others. He could not believe his eyes when he arrived at the summit. What happened? Did anyone come in the freezing cold at that hour of the day to a church service? You will need to listen to the message and find out what actually happened at the top of the mountain and why. This message was preached on Sunday morning, December 3, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
