Title (Ⅲ) Jesus our Savior (John 1:1~14)
Contents
In this time, when we testify to the words of "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him..." I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will become a true saint.
“He is God the Father, the owner and user of the world.”
① Just as “He was in the world, and the world was made through him”, so Jesus is the Lord and User of the world who made it. ② “The world” refers to the historical world of man, and since man is the subject of all things, it includes the history of all things, the possessive subject. ③ Jesus, the Creator of all things, is the Lord, the center, the providential sovereignty, and the user who is used and utilized for our salvation by being in all things and governing all things individually by providential rule over all things individually. ④ The world (reality) consists of the time I have to live, the time I have met, the place I am in, and the things I touch, all of which came to be due to the Lord’s providence of creation ⑤ The world, that is, the real world through which the saints pass moment by moment is the world Jesus created It is the thing, the owner, and the user.
“It is God the Father who uses the world as a pasture for our nurture.”
① Jesus is the true Father who gave birth to us as his glorious eternal children ② He made a pasture called the world to be nurtured as a whole like you and led us to live in the world ③ Our sinful nature as an element of death, curse, poverty , evil, injustice, disloyalty, transgression... ④ You are given the sovereignty of your permanence, perfection, immutability, wisdom, knowledge, goodness, love, holiness, and truth to nurture you as your heir He is the true father of love. ⑤ In this way, the world nurtures and refines the children of God. It is Heavenly Father's house, school, training camp, and pasture that cleans and perfects. (Psalm 23:1~6) ⑥ Therefore, “When you meet various trials, count them all joy... (James 1:2) ~4) “Rejoice always... Give thanks in everything.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
“It is God the Father who has revealed and made the world and you known.”
① This text is the message that Jesus clearly revealed about Himself and the world. ② However, the people of darkness did not know Jesus and the world, so they rejected Jesus, who came to their own land, and killed him. ③ If the saints do not know Jesus and the reality of the world right away, they will recognize that the reality of the world is a messenger of death that kills them, so they tremble in fear and become the servant of the world and the food of the world. ④ If you know Jesus and the world rightly, even if you meet the reality of the world going into the lions' den, you will be completely happy and eat the reality of the world as your own food. ⑤ The saints must look down on the worldly reality from the Lord's position in the Lord in heaven. ⑥ At this time, he discovers that the reality of the world he met is a field full of the treasures of salvation, and he hides it and rejoices, goes back and sells all he owns and buys the field. (Matthew 13:44) ⑦ This is the reality he met in the real world. Deny and obey only the word of the Lord.
“Those who looked down on the world in the Lord and those who looked up at the world from a land outside the Lord”
① Because Joseph looked down on the reality of the world from the Lord’s eyes, “Do not be grieved because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to save lives. (Genesis 45:5) and ② Moses, who looked down on the reality of the Red Sea of fear and despair in the Lord, said, “Do not be afraid, stand still and see the salvation that God will work for you” (Exodus 14:13~14) ③ In the Lord Joshua and Caleb, who looked down on the land of Canaan, said, “…they are our food.” ④ The Joseph brothers, the Israelites, and the greedy seekers, who looked up at the reality of the world from their position on the earth outside the Lord, despaired. I was trembling with anxiety and fear, and I was driven and fed by the real world. ⑤ Life and death, success and failure, honor and glory, and rise and fall in the world of saints depend on how they see and cope with the world's reality.
