Title: Life of Thanksgiving (Psalm 50:23)
When an article about one dog rescued the old owner's son (a national school student) was reported in a daily newspaper (although it turned out to be a fictional story after a while), what was the reason that made the reader's heart flutter? This is because he felt guilty for his indifference as a human being, rather than the justice of one dog in society. The world we live in can only become a world full of warmth and compassion only when we try to live a life that deeply understands, appreciates, and repays favor with each other. But in reality, there are many people who do not.
1. People who are indifferent even after receiving grace 1) People who easily forget their parents' grace: They only resent what they didn't do and do not show gratitude for the love they gave.
2) Take the couple's love for granted.
3) Knowing the teacher's grace as a simple salary earner.
4) We take the bond between brothers for granted: resenting only what we did not receive.
5) Debts of love between neighbors are easily turned back into non-existent ones.
2. A mean person who receives favor and repays it. 1) Judas Iscariot, a typical figure 2) A mean human psychology (1) To get rid of the sense of inferiority and burden of receiving help
3. A noble person who lives a life of gratitude and gratitude A person who always remembers receiving grace and repays it.
4. Give thanks to God: "For sending his Son Jesus..." 1) regenerate us 2) fill us with the Holy Spirit 3) give us healing grace 4) give us all things 5) Recycle , Thank God for giving us hope for the future of heaven, and for making our souls prosper in all things and make us strong throughout the year. And repay that grace with time, body, and material.
(Conclusion): The act of giving thanks glorifies God. To those who glorify God, God reveals the power of salvation, healing, and blessing. The great life that makes human life noble and beautiful is the life of gratitude and boeun.
