It happened during the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period. A poor woman lived in a village in No country. But the neighboring Qi has invaded this village. This woman desperately runs away carrying a baby and holding the wrist of another. But because of my two children, I can't run fast, so I think I'll be caught. The woman inevitably puts down the child on her back and takes the child she was running with. In the end, he was captured by the Qi general. the general asks. “How can you put down the baby and take the child who was running while holding his wrist?” The woman answered. “The child I was carrying is my child, and the child I was carrying by the wrist is my brother’s child. I love my child very much. But caring for my child is private love, and caring for the child my brother entrusted to me is public righteousness. If I forsake righteousness and choose private love, abandon my brother's child and save my child, what will the family look like, and what will our country look like?” (...)
A person like the woman of Noh is truly a person who makes a way for life. So is the life of faith. Once you decide to believe, you believe, and once you decide to go to church, rain or snow, wind or rain, it must come out.(...) Only then will your faith grow and you will keep the righteousness of God. Such a person is a person who makes a way.(...) In the Bible, many people made a way toward God and opened the way for the people.(...) What they have in common is that they are always one step ahead of everyone else. It is a person who has gone and opened up the road ahead and pioneered a new one.(...)
① Think of Terah.
Terah is Abraham's father.(...) He left Ur of the Chaldeans and went to Haran.(...) Because Terah left his hometown, Abraham could easily leave too.(...)
② Let me tell you about Jeremiah.
When the Babylonian army was besieging Jerusalem and the nation was on the verge of destruction, Jeremiah bought a field.(...) It is a hope for tomorrow.(...)
③ Think of the apostle Paul.
Paul did not stop preaching the gospel even though he was beaten and chased, went to prison, and went through countless times of death. Because of the world I had envisioned, I lived through the hardships of reality. Amen.
