Title: Faith must be expressed
Contents
Example) The appearance of a middle-aged couple in their 40s on the subway (their appearance was love!)
body description
First, love (consideration) must be prioritized over cause.
Verse 2: “People tried to accuse Jesus, so they watched to see if he was healing him on the Sabbath.”
Obsessed with the cause, the law, and the tradition, the Pharisees watched the work of saving souls.
You see the wrong view and the state of their hearts without love.
Ex) Change requirements for crime 7.8
Example) Consideration of Jung Jae-gwan, the former president of COEX
Example) The background of Ayako Miura's "Freezing Point" was born
Second, faith must be expressed.
Verse 5, “He was grieved for the hardness of their hearts, and looking around them in wrath, he said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.”
Luke 6 records that the right hand is dry, and in the Bible, the right hand is used to describe the perfect keeping.
According to other apocryphal accounts, his occupation was a mason.
We can understand a little bit of the feeling of a stonemason who could not use his right hand.
But today's text doesn't say, "Stretch out your hand!" After Jesus healed his hand perfectly, he said, "Stretch out your hand!"
And he obeyed and reached out his hand.
Then the hand was healed and recovered.
With our reason, we should bring it out after being healed, but the text explains the situation in the reverse order, and tells us that true faith is revealed through obedience and expression that transcends reason.
Example) 10 lepers in Luke 17
Matthew 9:2, Matthew 9:22, Gal 3:8-9, Gal 3:14 (words about the expression of faith and obedience)
Organize your words.
I hope that we will all have love and consideration rather than just cause.
Faith is meant to be revealed.
It's a matter of how it appears.
Words like telegrams.
Recognizing that it is impossible to please God without faith, I hope that you will become children of living faith that are expressed to God and your family, co-workers, and neighbors in the field of life.
