Title: Learn from Jesus
Contents
Matthew 11:29-30 Learn from the Lord
God has given us five fingers.
The smallest and weakest of these five fingers, the little finger we use as a substitute for our promise, and when the nostrils are blocked, we open our breath through the smallest and insignificant little finger.
Although we are such foolish, weak, and ignorant beings, God is trying to accomplish God's will by using us as God's representatives.
hospital
Every large hospital is full of people, why? Because we believe that hospitals save people. However, there are tears and parting in the hospital, and there is hope for revival and a new life all in one place. After all, it is not only a place to live, but also a place where it is impossible to avoid death because it also has a funeral home.
A world that saves people,
Where is the place that truly saves people? Are you a hospital?
If a person does not live spiritually, people only have a dead shell.
Many are alive but many are dead.
Who created the world with clogged nostrils?
There are people who make this world clogged up.
Pharisees, Sadducees, and priests and scribes knew that they had created a closed world.
I didn't know and I went without knowing. These are the people who are caught up in the law, and they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven either themselves, nor other people, and cause them to perish as well.
These are people who place heavy loads on other people's shoulders.
But the Lord promises to take away all our heavy burdens.
The Lord is the One who opens the breath and makes life cool.

What does the church do?
Why is the church important?
Why is the church valuable? Why should there be more churches than prisons?
This is because the church is a spiritual being that saves the world and saves people.
The church is not a community in which to live.
The church is a place where people lay down their lives and declare death in order to save people.
The church is the body of Jesus.
Who is Jesus?
Jesus, who is God, came to this earth as a child, grew up as a carpenter's son, and came to open the breath of life in the world and save people.
To confirm this, the Lord commanded us to celebrate the sacrament.
to share the flesh and blood of the Lord.
And when he went to heaven, he made the church and became the head of the church, and the members of the church became the body of the Lord.
After all, the church is the body of the Lord, the head of the Lord, and the whole of the Lord.
Therefore, as the Lord's church, we need to open up the world's suffocating breath.
To this end, we are trying to open the breath of life by sharing the gospel next week as well.
To that end, the Lord makes us disciples and tells them to learn Himself.
The purpose of learning is twofold.
First, the purpose of cultivating one's own character
(Spiritual - Refine your faith personality, understand, obey, and become a person of strong faith
(I need Bible study) Wednesday evening Bible study
will do with time We will give Bible study materials to everyone and study them)
Second, we learn to teach others.
(The purpose of being a spiritual-teacher is wrong. You were told not to enjoy being a teacher.
Rather than being a teacher, it is necessary to know in advance and lead others and become a spiritual leader)
1. Learn to bear the cross to Jesus
We are
As a disciple of Jesus, we must learn what to give up and what to take
Jesus suffered on the cross. We, too, need to take it for granted that we suffer.
Jesus was despised, despised, and persecuted.
We too must bear persecution while evangelizing, and even if it is difficult while working in the church, we must bear the cross.
1 Peter 2:19-20 Even if you suffer vaguely, if you endure sorrow in the mind of God,
It is beautiful, but what praise is there if it is beaten for being guilty?
But if you suffer for doing good and endure it, this is beautiful in the sight of God.
We have to learn to get up when we fall.
For the righteous shall fall seven times, but he will rise again, but the wicked fall by calamity (Proverbs 24:16).
The cross is God's will.
We must learn to carry the will of God. Even if this work is difficult/difficult, you have to learn it.
2. Learn to humble yourself
To humble oneself is to be exalted. Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Humble before the Lord, and the Lord will exalt you (James 4:10).
This is because those who humble themselves are said to be the greatest in heaven, and if they do not humble themselves, God will forcibly humble them. (This is more like God's taste, Job 40:12 - Searching for and finding the proud, and humiliating them, and trampling the wicked in their places)
3. Learn to serve
A disciple is a servant. The fact is that if a disciple wants to be treated, he cannot become a servant.
For the Son of Man does not want to be served, but rather to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28).
The purpose of serving was to give one's life.
Self-sacrifice, self-death, and taking up one's cross are service.
He said that the older one should be a servant.
If I serve the Lord well, God will honor me.
4. Learn to serve
A disciple should be treated well. Open and clear the blocked breathing tube through the bowl.
To keep it cool is to treat it well.
The Lord said [Give]. (Luke 6:38) - When you give it, it will be given generously, pressed down, shaken and overflowing, and given to you. It will be measured to you again by your measures.
5. Learn meekness and humility
Jesus told me to learn meekness and humility.
why?
That's how you get grace.
James 4:6 It is said that God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.
2 Timothy 2:24 - Be gentle toward all people.
Remind them to slander no one, do not quarrel, be tolerant, and show meekness in all things to all people.
With humility, consider others better
Be humble, and in due time he will exalt you (1 Peter 5:6).
Learn from the Lord -
learn to carry the cross
learn to humble yourself
learn to serve
learn to treat
Learn meekness and humility
Why should I learn?
to do God's will
to obey God's will
To love and imitate God
Its meaning is to evangelize and save lives.
