Subject: How do you prepare?
Scripture: Luke 16:19
[Introduction]
# Conversation between mayfly and grasshopper: "Tomorrow? Where is tomorrow? What is tomorrow?"
* A ephemera has no ability to sense, feel, and consciously sense tomorrow.
It is a common point of sociologists: Koreans have “antennae” to sense the future.
Very short: Forgetting the past easily, not looking to the future, focusing only on the present.
#If it's traumatic, they eat cows as well = things come into my hands today and money
I don't worry too much about the payment because it belongs to tomorrow. tomorrow's things
Because it doesn't feel good.
# During the middle school retreat ;Make a coffin, write a will and read it, then the admission ceremony/3, 4 hours
"Whoa----"
However, he probably soon forgot the emotion and determination of that time.
Our "antennas" are too short to feel the end, to look ahead to the day
Because.
#Jo Kwon-sa and Kim Yun-geol's attitude/tears, hands gathered and knees bent.
The end is in front of us. That's the attitude. The end is not in front of your eyes, but in your heart
To embrace and live is the attitude of the saints to live today.
*Everyone, today we are the end, how do you prepare to live?
Throwing it out and wanting to receive God's teaching, you want your end to end.
How close do you feel and how close do you feel?
We are temporal in character and temperament itself. But the Bible reads from beginning to end.
it is apocalyptic This Word of God has the power to transform our temperament and character
If we don't, our end will be just as we now believe.
won't be optimistic.
* I pray that your temperament will be changed by the word of God today.
Listen to God's word today and prepare better for the end of your life in the future.
I hope you can live.
*The parable of Jesus in today's text is the best to interpret in the Bible, which is up to verse 13.

Even if you know a little bit, you can clearly hear what the message is saying.

The rest of the sermon/ Complex conclusion. 10-13/ Does not fit the parable
Added conclusions.
Now dividing the text into two parts, how do we prepare for our end?
I'll tell you about how to live.
1.Have an apocalyptic ceremony.1-3
(Text Commentary) The steward's work at the time: Housework + financial withdrawal
*The deadline has been declared. Investigation and dismissal declared. handed over to another steward.
At this time the unrighteous steward was awakened: he had an apocalyptic consciousness.
Here, the consciousness of the end can be used interchangeably with the consciousness of crisis.
A sense of crisis = A dangerous day has come + Now is the last chance to stop that danger.
# An insect that is at a loss with no sense of crisis. A bee that drowns in a honey jar.
#One thing that people who perished during Noah's Flood didn't: sense of crisis The end is declared
Even after getting married, getting married, doing business, and building a house, I just fell in love with it. Of course.
They too may have worshiped and worshiped several gods: but those gods have come to an end.
Not a God who proclaims, but who blesses, protects, guides, and prospers in this world.
they were gods
*Gentlemen, we are not serving such a God. the end already
Declare it and command it to be prepared, and at the end of the day, you will come to praise me for doing well.
Serving such a God. What kind of God is your God now?
Do you have a sense of crisis? Do you have a clear apocalyptic consciousness over you?
If you do not have such a clear sense of crisis, you are now in possession of your master's wealth.
is wasting
: If you don't, you are wasting the word of the Lord.
I have the consciousness that the Lord will pay for every 100 won I spend on that day.
are there?
: If you spend it without it, you are also wasting the Lord's wealth.
On the last day I spent this day, I must return it before the Lord and be investigated
Do you live with the conscious that you will?
: If I had lived today without such a ritual, I would have wasted the Lord's time.
It's easy.
Even living in this world, there is no sense of crisis!!
Even though we live in the Garden of Temptation, where the sounds of temptations of snakes are everywhere.
No sense of crisis!!
Even though our end has already been declared, we do not intend to prepare for that day!!
*The Apocalypse Ritual made the steward nervous and make a big decision
will do So there was a big change in my life.
May the Holy Spirit pour this end-time ritual into your hearts today.
bless you
2. Write for that day. Verses 4-9
(Text Commentary) Economic background and law at the time (Deuteronomy 15:7,8; 23:20,21; Exodus 22:24;
Lev 25:36,37) no interest. The master's reward to the steward.
None (mainly taken care of by slaves born in the house). Stewardship in contract drafting
It is customary to eat commissions. Giving it up to prepare for the day after that.
According to the law, the owner's property is returned to the
By giving up, he forgave the debtors' interest, so that after his day
Prepared. The owner praised = approved.
*Jesus speaks of such a steward's behavior as being wise.
* The first thing anyone does when he has a clear sense of the end is to give up
it's a thing Apocalyptic consciousness is the first decision a person gives.
#Those who feel death at the tip of their nose are the first to do it
What was the job? It is giving up. Neither greed nor wealth, neither house nor children, nor authority---.
And only then will you be free as rain. Please use those riches for the orphans.
To whom do you give the house? Tell anyone that you forgive. far away
be able to look ahead
There is a family in the #Old Testament who actually lived the parable of Jesus today:
1 Samuel 25. Nabal and Abigail / Nabal was a foolish servant who lived without a consciousness of the end, his
His wife, Abigail, was a wise steward with a clear sense of the end.
"A man of great wealth--when David fled---spend your wealth for me---
How can I use my sacrifice for you, like dogs?
Hearing this, I hurriedly got two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep, and roasted grain.
Five years old, a hundred raisins, two hundred bunches of figs---that your wisdom bleeds
blocked, may God praise your wisdom----The feast of King Nabal
We were humming excrement thatch together, and then I heard the sound and my body stiffened.
died, and Abigail became queen of Israel."
* Don't you know that you are mine with the wealth you should have given up?
Do you have the wealth to use for the day of judgment that has just come?
isn't it?
On that day they will accuse me before the judgment seat of God.
Not willing to give up when our Lord wants us to be in need of even a single garment.
Otherwise it will condemn me on that day.
I know it's all my time and it's a pity, the times I couldn't give for others on that day
will judge me
# Do you know the tragic end of the monkey who was beaten because he couldn't give up?
What belongs to the grasped hand---It is not mine, but I firmly believe that it is mine in the hand.
Everyone, let's shake off the pinched time for that day.
Everyone, let's use the riches we have now for that day.
Then even a bowl of cold water, a hundred won, a pair of clothes, even a few minutes of time
On that day you will be praised: well done, good and faithful servant, blessed
Come, you people, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!!!
[conclusion]
Guys, where are you living with your end now?
The deadline has already been declared.
“The end of all things is at hand; therefore be sober” (1 Peter 4:7).
Let's have an end consciousness.
And let's use today for that day.
