《God's Bread》
(John 6:31-40)
(…) God loves us. You love each and every one. But we have many problems. There is pain. There are environmental fears such as the threat of war, the Yeonpyeong Island incident, and tensions between the two Koreas. Contradictions, confusion, and anxiety do not stop in the appearance of life. Things happen that break your heart or startle you. It seems that we are going to destruction, and if we go on like this, we are afraid that we will be destroyed. In this environment, we are waiting for God's salvation and comfort.(...) We are having a waiting time to welcome the birth and Christmas of Jesus, who comes to this earth as the Bread of Life.(...) Let's share the grace of Jesus.(…)
Everyone has an interesting motive for believing in Jesus. Whatever the motive, it is a good thing to come to church and live a life of faith. However, the evangelism that was induced because of the bread, the relief supplies, and because of someone did not last long. The church is not a place to entice people with programs or giveaways as it is a place to preach the word and spread the gospel. The essence of the church is to save souls, and giving salvation or giving food has no effect. Those who have been evangelized through salvation fall into habits and grow slow. There are no concrete fruits of faith.
See today's text. How many of those who ate the bread by the miracle of the five fish believed in Jesus? Not one or two people healed the sick, but there is no record of them following the Lord. Miracles and miracles arouse curiosity and interest in those who have never known Jesus. It is very rarely connected with salvation.(…)
Today, after the Lord performed the miracle of five fish, knowing that they were trying to make Jesus king, he fled to the mountain. And he said to say.(…) Jesus' interest was not in feeding the people, but in solving the problem of being a true man. There is only one way for a person to become a person. It is realizing the truth. The only way to realize the truth is to follow Jesus. To follow Jesus is to understand Jesus. The only way for us to understand the truth is to love Jesus and understand the words of Jesus.(…)
It is said that Yeonpyeong Island will be fortified and new weapons will be deployed to counter the North Korean attack. But more importantly, the spirit of this country, the spirit of loving liberal democracy and protecting my land no matter what, must be awakened. Resurrection of our spirits! With it, the body will automatically refresh itself and have a healthy body. In the 21st century, the church is splendidly modern and well built, the choir orchestra is awesome, the church program is gorgeous, but why is the church shrinking? When I tried to have fun and see miracles at church, the spirit of the church, the spirit of the church, fell away and I lost my strength. spirit and soul. This is the bread of God. If you have a healthy mind and an awakened soul, you will take on a body and become a person. Amen.
