Title: Family Blessing (Matthew 19:3-12)
Contents
May is Family Month and there are many days for families.
'Children's Day, Mother's Day, Teacher's Day, Rigo Coming of Age Day and Couple's Day.
Tomorrow the 21st is Married Couples Day
Why? On the 21st, it means that the two become one
This day was established in 2004 by Rev. Jaedo Kwon, the general secretary of the 'Couple's Committee', and from this year it has been officially designated as a national anniversary.
If we look at Genesis 2, we can see that the same content is found in the text.
After the creation of the heavens and the earth, God created man and gave him the first 'family'
appearance comes out.
Also, in John 2, we see the first miracle of Jesus Christ, which is the miracle of 'making water into wine' at a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee.
Why? Is this miracle the first to happen? Because the Lord is most pleased with the family.
But these days, there is also 'Family having an affair' in movies ... Isn't it wrong to have an affair with your family?
Therefore, more than 50% of adults have a negative view on marriage, and 34.9% of married women also have a negative view that it is not necessary to have children.
However, the Jewish Talmud says, "To prevent God from being alone with Adam, he did not have ten friends, but one woman." aren't you talking
However, there is a German proverb that says, 'Marriage is easy, but family is difficult.'
That's right. People are imperfect. But God will make us perfect.
But this God tells us to build a family and live in a beautiful way.
To that end, if we look at Genesis 6, we are talking about 'Noah', and it says, "He was a righteous man and perfect in his time, and he walked with God."
Genesis 6:8 "But Noah found favor with the LORD."
In other words, we can see that he, who lives by grace, has built a beautiful family as a perfect and righteous man.
So, what should we do to build a beautiful family, a family of blessing?
First, verses 5-6 of the main text.
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and they shall become one flesh; and what God has joined together, no man can separate.”
In this verse, in order to create a beautiful family, God has to pair a man and a woman.
It is believing in what you have been given.
what God has put together. Believing this is what makes a successful family of blessings
is.
Dear all! There is a saying that life is an adventure. What do you think is the most intense adventure of your life?
Marriage (family) adventure.
That's why, according to the Russian proverb, "When you go out to sea, pray once, and when you go to war,
Pray twice, pray three times when you get married
In other words, getting married is a bigger adventure than going out to sea.
Maybe that's why you met the pastor a while ago and is peaceful with your wife and family?
When asked, he said "sleeping with the enemy".
Everyone! This is giving up adventure. Don't give up.
Please believe that love is the power of reconciliation that creates peace no matter what the circumstances.
However, if there is no love in the family, the family only suffers from pain.
An old couple appeared on a crossword puzzle TV show.
As soon as the word “matchmaking” came up, my wife eagerly explained. But my husband didn't get the hang of it. Then the wife asks, as if frustrated. 'What do other people say between us?
What's the difference between us?' Then the husband slaps his knees, as he knew.
"What's wrong?" Then, what does my wife say about us in heaven other than that? "Thousands of lives"
Is your home the same?
You just need to understand the difference.
Man was made of dust by God. The woman was made from Adam's rib.
In other words, men's material is soil and women's material is bones.
What is strong? Bone. So, why not go to a jjimjilbang?
It is the woman, not the man, who endures long in the bulma. You must know that you are a strong woman.
Another important thing to have a beautiful family is "I'm sorry, but I'm leaving my parents."
This is not a story about not having parents.
It is about becoming independent from your parents and forming a community of your own.
In other words, parents should not interfere in their children's marriage.
However, these days, how many Korean families are unable to leave their parents' domination even after marriage.
are there?
So, doesn't it cause conflicts with the uncle and bring serious misfortune?
When a baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut off because it is connected to the mother.
However, if the umbilical cord is not broken, the child cannot form an independent life.
Therefore, you must leave Buro to believe that the couple has become one community.
You both have to have a sense of belonging.
However, if a couple does not belong to the family, they cannot enjoy stability and peace.
Dear all!
In order to achieve a family of happiness and a family of blessing, it can be said that a couple is a continuous process of becoming one with each other.
Don't you have something like this?
“A wife is a lover in youth, a friend in middle age, and a nurse in old age.”
I hope you understand the meaning of this. Those who know the meaning of this can know 'male and female ratio'.
In the past, 'male and female ratio' means 'a woman is miserable as long as there are men'.
But today it is different. Today's 'male and female ratio' is 'the reason for the existence of a man is to match the metaphor of a woman'
This means that we have to match each other with the one that suits each other's heart.
So Genesis 2:18 "God will make him a suitable helper for him."
See it here. 'for him'
In other words, didn't you say that He gave us a family to help each other?
Lastly, in order to build a beautiful family, you need to know God's plan of creation.
In other words, when we keep our family, we respect God's creative plan.
Look at verse 6, “Therefore, they are no longer two, but one.
I beg your pardon? God's plan of creation is to create men and women so that they can live well.
That's why people can't share.
That is why the American family minister 'John Gray' wrote his book 'Men from Mars from Venus'
In ‘Women’, men are from Mars and women are from Venus, so they are different.
don't you?
Someone likened a woman to a 'ball' and a man to a 'fire'.
A teenage girl is chasing a soccer ball - a lot of men.
Ongu-gong in their 20s is chasing after them.
30's are decided by a golf ball - one man.
A 40-something ping-pong ball is burdensome to fall over.
Dodgeball - Dodgeball in their 50s avoids being afraid of being caught
And in their 60s, they pretend to be a ball that is not a ball.
A teenage boy is a match-light - it ignites with just a touch.
A 20's wood fire - it burns well and looks good.
The 30's are briquettes - it looks like nothing but it's hot.
The 40's look like a bonfire - dead, but there is a small spark.
People in their 50's can live only if they smoke a cigarette and supply oxygen.
And the 60s are important, so fireflies - even fires pretend to be fires.
Dear all!
Men and women are different, but there are similarities.
Therefore, we must know that it is God's plan of creation and adapt it.
Remember what Goethe said, that you can be happy at home, and if you cannot be happy at home, you cannot be happy anywhere else.
"Whether you are a king or a peasant or a citizen or a politician, if you are not happy at home, do not expect to be happy anywhere." Isn't it?
There is a woman named "Barbara Walters", a famous American anchorwoman.
A divorcee, smart, talented, wealthy, and pretty.
After a long time, I feel lonely in my heart and think about remarrying. So who is good?
You have to do it right this time, so in order to choose the right person for you, you put yourself into the aptitude computer and announced that you were recruiting men who were right for you.
Then a lot of people applied.
So, one person was reduced, and one candidate was finally left. Who was it?
It was my ex-husband who was divorced. what do you mean?
Changing it is useless. there it is there.
Please know this. Anyone who knows this can 'wink'.
'wink' Isn't this opening your eyes to the other side's strengths and closing your eyes to your weaknesses?
Now organize your words.
There is a saying that is popular in America right now. This is what it means.
A housewife says her children fight
"My child and yours were fighting and our children stopped" Do you understand?
In the United States, the divorce rate is over 50%. It doesn't seem too far from Korea.
But know that this is in direct disobedience to what is said in today's text verses 8-9.
wish.
"Jesus said, "Moses allowed him to divorce his wife because of the hardness of heart, but this is not the case. I tell you, whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery."
In other words, we can see that divorce is against God's creation plan.
May is Family Month. I wish you a happy and blessed family.
And from the conclusion of this man's words, in order to achieve a happy family and a blessed family, "you just have to change your mind".
And we think pigs are the happiest animals, so we think they laugh and die when they die, but pigs are the most unhappy animals.
Pigs are animals that cannot look up to the sky.
And they say that happiness is in my hands, and 95% of Koreans believe in palmistry, 5% trust, and 1% don't, but they say, "It is in my hands."
Everyone, try to raise your hand. I have a palm in my hand.
Change your mind.
We know the flower language of four-lipped clover. What is it? 'luck'
Then the three-leaf clover is ... 'happiness'.
But while we have happiness, we search for luck.
So you can't enjoy happiness.
didn't you?
Now change your mind for the blessing of your home.
For a beautiful home and a blessed home, it is important to believe that only one man and one woman are paired up by God, and to keep the family as an independent individual apart from the parents.
When we go out knowing that it is God's creative plan, we will achieve the blessing of our family.
I earnestly pray that such grace and blessings overflow in your family.
