Title: Great Responsibility (Matthew 18:5-7)
It is said that the changes in the past 30 years in our country account for 80% of the changes in our 5000 years of history. In those 30 years, we have gained and lost a lot. Among them, there is no denying that the loss of good customs, sound values and humanity is a fatal loss that cannot be compensated for by anything else.
Teenage crimes and derailments, which are becoming more and more ferocious day by day, cannot be restrained, and the unfortunate incident that occurred at the 'New Kids on the Bullock' concert hall on the 18th is pathetic.
Why has the world become like this? If anyone had to take responsibility for this, who would it be? I can't hide my shame and guilt more than anger.
Moreover, considering that the youth are the protagonists of tomorrow and the hope of the Korean people, this cannot be easily overlooked.
In the text of Matthew 18:5-7 and 10, we can read what Jesus said about the importance of youth and the importance of the responsibility of the older generation toward them.
According to the Word, young children are characterized by being very humble, dependent and trustworthy, and they find their worth, especially because of the possibilities they contain.
A child's future depends on how he or she is taught and trained.
This possibility may be realized but may be extinguished, and what is used for good may be deflected for evil purposes, and in some cases
You can take full advantage of that possibility and change the world in a new way. Therefore, whether a child can grow into a good and desirable adult is the role of an adult. You know you are responsible.
We must pay special attention to youth issues as Christians living in an era, faithful to our historic mission and responsible workers for the future society.
Looking at the text, we must first recognize the importance of young children.
The pastoral poet 'Wordsworth' left the saying that children are the fathers of adults, but Jesus put children on equal footing with them as models of heavenly beings, saying, "Our angels in heaven will always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. See you"
You said. This means that the angels protecting the children have the right to go directly to God, just as the king's favored vassals have the privilege to go directly to the king.
Children are new people who will live in a new era. There is nothing more important than nurturing their limitless potential so that they can live as the protagonists of the new era.
The text emphasizes how terrible the punishment that makes others sin is, and you can see that the punishment is different from the ordinary punishment.
“If anyone causes one of the little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and fall into the deep sea.”
There are many answers to the question of how the hell did our teens get to this point? But above all, the collapse of values due to rapid social change and the absence of responsible education are the main causes.
In Germany, even the right to occupy a seat on a bus or phone is not permitted by social regulations until the age of 18, who is still treated as an adult, and the country of gentlemen.
It is said that even in England, children are bred to be treated like dogs. Therefore, it is said that the most obedient children in the world are British children, and in Switzerland, after completing compulsory education, they get some money and leave their parents and become independent.
When the older generation fails to protect and guide children, and fail to raise them as wholesome individuals due to overprotection or indifference, it is the result of committing a crime that causes crime, though it is not intentional.
The text is a warning that not everyone can escape responsibility.
The grown-ups were doing everything they could and messing around with the sacred Parliament building, asking why they were the only ones looking at us and scolding us.
I'm at a loss for words. Who can throw stones at them! All over the world, infidelity, immorality, injustice, infidelity, luxury, pleasure traps and hapjeong
Is there anyone who made the book, someone who responsibly taught that there is true happiness and there is the gospel? We and my indifference and irresponsibility must be pounded in our hearts for what these children have become.
In any age, there have been problems with youth, and it is inevitable, but woe to those who stumbled.
