Title: Incarnation/John 1:14
We are looking forward to Christmas again. It repeats every year
Our hearts are always the same. something peaceful and something happy
This is the season to look forward to. A heart that can forgive one another arises. love
We look forward to gifts filled with warm affection from those who do. give each other gifts
Share your heart while receiving it. Sometimes there are gifts you will never forget.
This is when I became an educational evangelist. Immediately after taking office, middle school and high school
There was friction with the subordinates. that I don't like the way I do it
It was. that it is so new. That is liberalism. children
Rumors circulated that it was painted incorrectly. But the reason is that the evangelist
It was to let them move without saying anything as they told them to.
At the end of the year, the thought that maybe I should go somewhere else
I heard. I myself wanted to quit. It was very painful. That
However, the pastor did not tell me to quit. so one more year
I thought about working hard. Then I said I couldn't be a junior in high school.
A year has passed. On Christmas evening, the vice principal of the high school came to visit. this
As he was talking about it, he said: “Until now, I have been tormenting the preacher.
Sorry. Pastor, I didn't know my true intentions, so please forgive me.
All." Then he went back through the snow-white yard.
Years have passed. But the heart he received that day is still burning.
He was a lot older than me. How long until you say that
was it low? Those words warmed my heart and made me beg for forgiveness.
I did. I didn't just follow his example. The action is done through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
I have come His words remained in me as a gift. After that I bought
When I experienced conflict with other people, I prayed for forgiveness without arguing for the right or wrong.
I hope you all give this gift to people too. Speak to your enemies
Shio. It's not "I forgive you". "Please forgive me". opponent
is wrong and I am not right. I didn't do much wrong with him
I did. It didn't do anything good though. Nevertheless, he forgives himself first.
I asked you to stand. This is the heart of the believer.
Also, this is the heart of the Lord. How did he do it? guilty person
Did you put them all together and say this? “From God’s point of view, you
They are pathetic people You must go to hell in one way or another. there
must be cursed forever. But who am I? a lot of love you guys
I will forgive you So, don't do such a bad thing again and live."
He didn't do that. They took their sins as their own.
He accepted everyone's criticism. I begged forgiveness in front of everyone.
And I paid for it. Like a father with a wicked son
It's like. Sometimes I see parents crouching to atone for their children's wrongdoings.
you would have Parents take all their children's faults as their own.
And begging for forgiveness. The children do not repent at all. That
If you do, you will bear it on your back and suffer. but the love of Christ
is not that much. It's not about bearing the sins of your children. on behalf of a friend
neither is it. He regarded the sins of his enemies as his own. own another's evil
I thought it was painful. This is the meaning of the cross.
This is a gift to us. God pays for our sins
is to carry it. He deserves to be told everyone to forgive him
is. But begging for forgiveness. and those who receive his heart
You can let go of the hate in your heart. That's right. not forgiving
You must ask for forgiveness. This will be the greatest gift.
This love of the Lord was united and expressed as a person. this is the incarnation
is. That love became a person. Why did the Word become flesh?
how? Is it to brag and be proud? A person who dominates at will and is high
Is this to become? no. It is to carry our burdens.
This is the purpose of the incarnation. That is how it is saved.
Now, let's think about the gift we receive at Christmas. God gave us
What is the best gift you can give? Jesus Christ. sit on a high throne
Arthur didn't come here to be obedient. commanding us to do this and that
You didn't come as a target. He comes to serve. to serve, but to sacrifice one's life
It is said that he is coming to give as a ransom for many. He is the gift.
If you believe in God, people first think of your abilities. and many three
I think of a commercial blessing. But what we received was above all his heart
is. People pray. "Give me strength. Bless me." giving
Answer. “My heart is the greatest blessing. If I use it, I will be able to do it properly.
appear. It is the heart of love that heals the sick and raises the dead.”
“The heart of love overcomes all things. It gives long-suffering.
All. Don't be jealous, don't brag Neither arrogant nor angry nor rude
does not They do not seek their own self-interest and do not do evil or injustice.
Rejoice with the truth, endure all things, believe, hope, and endure all things. four
Lang gives miracles. It is true power, true victory, and God Himself.”
So the enlightened person prays. "Give me your heart." week
answers. "My heart is already in you." "No. Lord my
Your heart is full of greed." "Do not submit to feelings. in my words
obey Believe it. Those who accepted me also received my heart. don't
follow the tone That's power and that's a miracle. Rule with it."
This is not the way of the world. The king of the world comes with a great procession.
They come from the palace on a golden chariot with all the guards. But
From a spiritual point of view, only a humble sinner is walking. many people
We pride ourselves on being extravagant. The pastor also goes with the bodyguard
there was Just because there are so many attendants doesn't mean that spiritually.
God doesn't do that. humbly when he comes to us
He is coming. Our king is not born in a palace, but in a stable. among the sheep
There were no difficulties at all. He doesn't have an escort. When growing up, the carpenter
was at home. He did not care about poverty or shabbyness. he is jerusalem
When he entered Rem, he rode a young donkey. This is how he behaves.
But those with spiritual eyes can see it right away. he is in the stable
It was when I was lying in a manger. Heaven and earth were dazzling with spiritual light.
All the heavenly angels descended and sang a mysterious praise. all the sky
and the whole earth was filled with a gracious light. but who can see it
was not much. Because his heart was filled with sin and pride.
It was when he was baptized. Baptizing John in a humble manner
received. He didn't look like a savior at all to people. he is a sinner
There was no reason to be baptized by Ham. But he bears the sins of the people
He was the Lamb of God. He was baptized. OK
The heavens were torn apart, and the voice of God was heard in the midst of the heavenly armies lined up.
The same is true today. All who receive Jesus Christ as a gift
Both are like him. It doesn't seem like a big deal. we kneel down to jesus
They bring you to the savior. No change? no. every cloth in the sky
They are greeted with joy. And in him the Christlike kind
A new person is born. The soul resembles the face of God.
There seems to be nothing in the world. There are no bodyguards either. yes
No matter how many bodyguards I have, those who die will die. Sometimes heads of state
get attacked. No matter how many bodyguards there are, it is useless. but jesus
Those who have received Christ are guarded by angels. if we believe
If you stand without being shaken by the sound, the spiritual reality will appear as it is with power.
But that doesn't mean you have to live in poverty. I was born in a stable
Not great. Also, living in a royal palace isn't bad either. unconditional sword
If you live modestly, you are not spiritually rich. Whether you are poor or not, rich or not
It's not that important. Don't get too hung up on your outward appearance.
It's a flag. Either way, it is important to live according to God's character.
This is how Jesus became flesh. And came into us and melted
I did. He grew up through our bodies. we are like Christ
made you become Now what we decide to do is this. this jesus
Shall I use you as my servant as an instrument of
will you live life? Will I melt into him as he melts into me?
In other words: Serving as such, and again in the midst of others
will you be fleshed out? One thing is clear. our most eternal blessing
To enjoy is to live through Jesus Christ. famous and wealthy
does not benefit my soul. use those things
It melts in people's hearts. How big can you melt!
It was in the newspaper a few years ago. A young man committed suicide on Christmas Day
All. They didn't receive any gifts. "No one loves me. Three
I am completely alone.” The thought occurred to him.
You become engrossed in evil thoughts. And saw the world with hateful eyes
All. "What are you doing living in this state any longer?" That was the only thought.
He didn't know what the best gift was. just people love me
I just wanted to give it to you. I'll do anything to get that kind of love
are people. But with a small gift to find a marginalized person
You can. One Christmas night, I was alone in the hospital with someone dying of cancer.
I found my wife lying on the bed. It was me, not them, who received the gift.
That's right. The best gift we have already received. christ at christmas
received But more importantly, right with Christ, “Do not give
Well, you have received it.” He poured out a giving heart that filled our hearts.
It is the heart that suffers from the sins of others and feels the pain of others. That is
It's a Christmas gift. That heart must be incarnated in our lives.
