It is not known who the disciple of Hebrews was. However, most of the major episcopal scholars
It is said that the Tao wrote it. The reason is that the theology or faith differs from the other epistles Paul wrote.
because it's similar.
The forgiveness of sins by the blood of Jesus and the entrance to the eternal kingdom, Christians living in a difficult world
Paul's theology and work emphasize that it is Jesus Christ who comforts and strengthens.
are hitting.
The lesson of this text is the concluding part of Hebrews. Let's look for some lessons.
1. Jesus is the great shepherd.
Verse 20 says, “Our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep.” Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is
My shepherd.” There are three things a shepherd does: Feeding the sheep, keeping them, and sealing them.
Doing is a thing.
It finds clean water and delicious food, protects it from wild beasts, and protects it from disease or danger.
And it is the shepherd's job to lead him to still waters, to green pastures, and to resting places.
All.
They tend sheep in the fields and sometimes sleep in the fields at night. In that case, wild dogs or wolves
There may be surprises.
In such a case, the shepherd must risk his life to fight for the sheep. According to 1 Samuel 17:34-36, David
When he was guarding his father's flock in the field, there was a surprise by a lion or a bear. Each time David
They risked their lives to fight and kill and protect the flock. Not all shepherds are the same.
1) There is a good shepherd.
In John 10:11 we read, “I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
said 10:10 so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”
is.
The good shepherd also feeds and rests well, heals the sick, and guides them to a better place.
is a thing. However, it should be noted that the good shepherd gives life.
It is just an imitation of Jesus, the shepherd. No matter how hard I try, I give all my strength
Even if they do, they cannot be compared to the ministry of Jesus. Every time I go in and out of my study, I
I often read the writings on the hanging scrolls.
It is a scroll that says that if I live, the church dies, and if I die, the church lives. life, death, death
This is a Chinese scroll called 敎 生. There are more times when I struggle to live, saying I must die, I must die
There are many, many times when I say I have to rot, I have to rot, but I get up with my head up. every time
"Ah! I'm not a great shepherd," he would say. The great shepherd, the true shepherd, is Jesus. I
He himself said that he is the Good Shepherd.
2) There is an evil shepherd.
In Ezekiel 34:1~16, we see a shepherd who feeds only himself, a shepherd who eats sheep but does not raise them,
A shepherd who lifts and does not heal or bind up a broken sheep, a shepherd who leaves the sheep to be food for the wild
and they said they would be angry. As a shepherd, he feeds venom and poison from the sheep,
A shepherd who leads them into bad places and makes them sick by hurting them is an evil shepherd.
There is no difference between a good shepherd and an evil shepherd in appearance and attire. But anyone can follow
And you shouldn't follow it. We must follow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, the True Shepherd, and the Great Shepherd.
2. He is the God of peace.
Verse 20 says, “The God of peace, who was brought from the dead by the blood of the eternal covenant.
I did.
It should be noted that God gives us peace through the blood of the covenant. peace
It is the opposite of pain, despair, frustration, worry, failure, pain. So replace those things with peace
He heals, defeats, and gives peace. But the important thing is to give that peace
That Jesus Christ shed His blood.
Isaiah 53:5 testifies of this fact.
“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities;
Well, we have peace, and by his wounds we are healed."
All.
If you commit a sin, you will be despised and despised. If you commit a sin, you will suffer or be punished for your sin.
you will receive In the worst case, you will be sentenced to death. But the Lord was pierced and wounded instead
He gave us peace through discipline and the shedding of blood.
In John 14:27, the Lord said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Don't be afraid."
In John 20:26, the resurrected Lord appeared to his disciples and said, "Peace be with you.
all," he said.
The peace or peace referred to here is from the Lord. Man made, man maintained
There is peace that people give. But it is sparse and has no permanence. Iraq

are working for But Iraqi guerrillas see them as aggressors and peace forces.
not. So you never know when you'll be attacked.
World peace comes after you kill, occupy, and conquer.
However, since the peace of God is the peace that Jesus made with his blood, there is no reason to fight again.
there is no That's why the text says, "Peace brought forth through the blood of the covenant." peace,
When we talk about peace, peace, a song about peace comes to mind.
I give you peace that the world cannot give
Peace that the world does not know, peace, peace, peace
I give you peace
I give you life

That's right. Jesus died and made peace with his blood. this peace
Raya will be a permanent and unchanging peace. Between husband and wife, between neighbors, between South and North
Also, the peace brought about by the blood of Jesus must come.
3. He makes perfect.
Verse 21 says, “He has made you perfect in every good work to do his will.”
Being perfect here means being like God. In Matthew 5:48 we read, “So
Therefore, be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

The reason is that they have sinned and everything is broken. The drunken cigarette's head and the drunken cigarette
It is said that the brains of scholars who do this are different. But in order to follow and imitate the perfection of God,
If you work hard, work hard, and do your best, as Paul says, you rise toward the maturity of Jesus Christ.
is what you can do.
The ultimate goal of our Christian life is to become like Jesus.
Of course, for now, that's a no-brainer. Who dares to say that he resembles Jesus?
how?
There is one word that I will never forget in my lifetime. He passed away now, but one day
The elder Kwon looked at the picture of Jesus on the wall and my face alternately and said, "You look just like me."
You said.
It was 14 years ago, but I still can't forget those words. Even now, if I meet that Kwon
I want to lift it up. That feeling cannot be expressed in words. One day I took a taxi.
"Can you go to Jongno 5-ga for the knights class?"
And I was in the backseat looking through the papers to prepare for the meeting. But in front of city hall
In "Are you not a pastor?" I was surprised. "Yes, but... do you know me?" "

A generous tip was added to the taxi fare. Jesus transforms me. my home

4. They make you happy.
In verse 21, we read, “May what is pleasing in his sight be done in us through Jesus Christ
I want it,” he said.
If you count the results of believing in Jesus, there are countless. Among them, I am most happy to have it in my hand.

After I finished, I was moved by the appearance of the members of the Chungshin Church coming down the stairs, so I started attending the Chungshin Church.
I got a letter saying
“The faces of the saints coming out of the temple after the service were all bright and bright.
is. The first time I saw her overflowing with grace, I told my family, let's go there and worship.
The moment I took my first steps at the Chungshin Church, I felt a grace that I had never felt before.”
It's part of a letter he sent.
Jesus makes us happy. Jesus died on the cross to please us
and suffered. This is the love of the cross. Why is there no joy in me
① When sin holds me down
