The Logos USA 14 and Logos 38 commencement was held on March 16, 2025. There were a total of 56 and 15 graduates, respectively who completed the year-long Bible institute at Church of Jesus.
Starting with the lens with which to view the Bible, the students systematically learned the plan of God from the God-centered view over the course of 47 two-hour lectures, while keeping up with Bible-reading requirements and periodic exams. As one may imagine, completion is not only an academic accomplishment but also one of endurance. Still, as Pastor Jo Kim and Pastor Sung Kee Kang reminded the church in their address to the graduates, the revelation of God is from, for, and by Himself. Meaning, Jesus is the One we are to meet when we read the Bible, and knowing the word that reveals Jesus to such sinners as us is by God’s amazing grace. The certificate of completion, though presented with honor and congratulations, is hardly worth its weight in cardstock in the eyes of the world. But after learning this knowledge of the word (“ho logos”) through the teaching (“he phone”), we pray for these souls to be raised up as disciples, who are moved, governed, and have their very being in the word as they make it their own (“to rhema”). The students gave small gifts to our two pastors for instructing the class, and many church members gathered to support the graduates and our church’s continuous effort of teaching the truth, for the glory of the Name of Yeshua.
