His interest (Ex 7:8-25)
Let the children of Israel go out of the land.
Moses and Aaron proclaim the Lord's command before Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh refuses.
It is the beginning of a catastrophe for Pharaoh,
For the nation of Israel, it is the beginning of Jehovah's help.
God of slaves to Pharaoh, who he considers to be the center of the world,
Jehovah's story would have been nothing more than a pity.
When Moses and Aaron performed the first miracle, they did not immediately drive them out or call an army.
How easy it was for the LORD to call a magician,
It is to express unambiguously whether it is considered insignificant,
It must have been an expression of confidence that he could cope with it without being shaken.
Although the first and second rounds between Moses the servant of Jehovah and the magician, a servant of Pharaoh, are tense,
It doesn't look like it's a fight that Baro can't fight at all.
As far as your Jehovah is, I can do it.
22. Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the magicians of Egypt did in the same way with their magic, as the LORD had said.
23. Pharaoh turned and went into the palace, and did not think about it either.
24. The Egyptians could not drink the water from the sewage, so they dug all around the river for water to drink.
Pharaoh no longer cares about such things and does not care about the suffering of his people. Pride and cruelty are typical of dictators.
13. But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
14. And the LORD said to Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is hardened, and he refuses to let the people go.
Our faith must gradually increase in spiritual depth and breadth.
The present heart is armed with my interests, pride, and the thickness of worldly knowledge, so I am not losing faith and wandering and falling into pain while ignoring God's challenges and visions and interpreting and insisting on worldly values and methods I put down the same self.
Pharaoh was hardened himself, even though Jehovah had hardened it.
It was very natural and possible for Jehovah to perform miracles.
Not only because he is omnipotent, he also created the world.
But the magic of magicians is truly a mystery.
The magician's serpent was caught and eaten, which partially but changed the waters of the Nile
Presumably, it was possible with the same tricks used by current magicians.
The only thing a human can do against God is to lie like a deceit and to die.
It's just a stupid sin.
Where, then, is Jehovah's interest in performing these miracles today?
16. And I said to him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to the king, saying, Let my people go, and they will serve me in the wilderness.
17. Thus saith the LORD, By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, when I strike the river with the staff of my hand, it turns into blood.
‘My people will serve me,
You know that I am the Lord.”
It is said that our life is like confession.
While watching the Samsung Special Prosecutor's Office, the richest man in Korea was taken away and investigated.
I see myself apologizing for my shortcomings and mistakes.
They look so happy around us, so I'm not worried
Sometimes there are those who seem to have nothing.
But in the world, no one seems to be without worries.
just because it's relative
The depth of that pain is different for every situation and situation, and it is only difficult to measure.
And his own suffering is that even if he only gets the flu, he feels bigger than other people's cancer.
This is the limit of human beings as creatures.
But God is fair to all.
After all, we were created to enjoy true peace only in God.
Looking at today's sermon, I think we should really understand the topic.
Don't be stubborn.
to obey quickly.
Don't make 10 miracles and disasters, but finish with 2-3 things when you can endure it.
It is said that it was the LORD who hardened Pharaoh's heart.
It is already planted in Pharaoh's heart
You realize that you are responsible for what you can't do.
open my heart to the Lord,
I wish I could live by that meaning.
I still have the same stubbornness as Pharaoh.
more to be thrown away,
should be more empty,
I need to be more sensitive to the pain of others than I am.
It seems difficult right now, but I pray that you will be perfected by faith.
