Title: Let's Be Blessed / Philippians 1:20-24
Content Blessed are you/Philippians 1:20-24
Animals are satisfied when they have enough food and a place to sleep, but there is such a thing as satisfaction when you feel that human satisfaction is worthwhile.
Who is the lucky one?==The one who knows the meaning of life and lives happily
The Bible testifies of Paul as the blessed one.
“Whether I live or die, Christ may be glorified in my body, for to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
After meeting Jesus, Paul was only Christ until the end of his life.
Except Christ from him, there is nothing.
Why? Are you saying that such a person is blessed?
(Think together and share your thoughts.)
1) They honored Jesus.
How precious is Jesus?
= I left the heavenly throne for love. You bought it without a head.
They sacrificed themselves for their enemies. Die for an unbelievable life
Giving, silently acting love you don't even know, until you open it
beat the heart, give your flesh and blood, unwashable
Forgive me at no cost for a serious sin that I can't solve even if I know it
He is the one who hugged me and told me that he was my son.
Who can do this for me? (Song of the Parents)
Wouldn't it be okay to trust and live with such a person?
(Who is the one who lives with the blessings?)
If I became a vegetable and gave up everything and turned around, but my wife
Believe in the future and wake up with all the wealth that 5 years have passed
If born, at least this husband will honor his wife and
It is not strange to be alive.
Paul says, "Even if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. For the sake of the Lord, any humiliation or suffering does not matter."
Would this be a special belief? No. Paul's faith knew how to honor Jesus.
All of you who have been saved by the grace of Jesus === As believers, you must realize and know this meaning and live.
Romans 5 says, “He died for all, that the living may no longer live for themselves, but instead live for the dead in their stead.”
2) I had the heart of Jesus.
In order for a hen to give birth to chicks, it must be fertile.
When life is conceived, life is born.
Romans 8 says, “Those who are driven by the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those who are after the Spirit think about the things of the Spirit.”
What is my body? It is a vessel that contains thoughts. Where the mind goes, the body goes.
The Bible calls that vessel the temple of the Holy Spirit. The contents inside are the thoughts of the Holy Spirit and the mind of Jesus. What kind of heart is Jesus' heart?
It is the heart of the cross. It is the heart that humbled and broke oneself.)
Live with the heart of Jesus.
Then you can start later than others and become a blessed person even if you fail.
In Acts 7, when Stephen was stoned to death, his heart was filled with the heart of Jesus on the cross. Similarly, Paul saw the heart of Jesus before Stephen's death.
So, naturally, after Paul repented, he lived or died, but he lived for the Lord after seeing the heart of Jesus through Stephen.
Christians are blessed to have the heart of Jesus.
3) Happy people should be happy.
Paul was happy to be with Jesus.
Whether beaten, imprisoned, chained, or even through the deep night of hardship, life or death, I was happy.
Everyone, this grace of Jesus and the heart of Jesus are true happiness. If you receive a blessing, is there anyone who will rush to receive it?
Would you like one thousand dollar bill?
Matthew 7:6 "Do not throw your pearls before swine, lest I tear you and bruise you."
Paul said that he considered the value of life up to now as excrement after meeting Christ.
Francesco sang and spoke and praised the trees, flowers, birds, and fishes, how good it was to receive God's grace.
If you do not know the reward, you are unhappily believing in Jesus.
Deuteronomy 33 says, “Blessed are you, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD?”
It is the grace of the Lord that makes us happy like this.
Faith is not about making people live unaware of pain by applying facelifts or administering anesthetics. Rather, living in that grace is living as if this sad world will be transformed into heaven.
It is to live with the power of love, which is better than pain and pain.
May you be happy even if you live, and may you be a blessed person who walks with joy while praising the glorious God even if you die.
