Title: Lost in Life
(Do not let your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house
There are many dwelling places in the city, otherwise I would have told you.
I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again.
receive you to Me, that where I am, there you may be also.
You will know the way. Thomas said, "Lord, we do not know where you are going.
How can I ever know the way? Jesus said to me, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
because no one comes to the Father except through me) (John 14:1-6)
1. All life is beings on their way.
The symbol of the road has several meanings.
It can be the purpose of life, it can be a means of life, it can be a way of life.
Depending on 'what path are you on?', life's path (幸) is divided into misfortunes.
In fact, there are many cases where I do not know which way I am going.
We do not know what kind of path it is, but we are beings on the path now.
The highway of life is also death.
All of them are going towards Bukmansan Mountain.
Through all the works of literature, it is said that life is not an easy one
It is said that it is a lonely and lonely road, even a road of emptiness.
No matter how optimistic the way of life, people say that life ends in death.
I thought so. So in the prayer of Moses, the length of a life span is 70.
Even 80 days is a road of toil and sorrow, and years that pass quickly.
So I said that I should live life happily while I was young, and as a result I fell into hedonism.
I prayed, and even went on to unrestrained debauchery.
One of the pathologies of our society today is losing something precious at a young age.
It is a pity that there are lean young people.
As for the precious thing, the most precious thing in human beings is the soul.
It is not about looking at the body that a person can be recognized as a person.
The soul of the person in it is precious.
So who is the poorest person? If you do, you are a person who does not know this.
Those are the people who know that this is all there is to it.
Because they are people who neglect the problems of the soul and only care about the body,
We value everyone's value in money and we live.
So, in order to pay off the card debt, he steals other people's things and kills to hide his actions.
See the results you get.
It is surprising to know that such young people are all around us today.
How unfortunate is this?
At such a young age as Gu Man-ri, I am already frustrated in reality and think that money is everything in life, patience
The most precious thing in life's path, when you see young people who don't know what to do and get caught up in their emotions
It seems that we have to realize this through faith.
Anyone who lives without this can only see a dead end when standing in front of the wall of reality.
Because it is depressing to see.
2. The most precious thing in life is .
If you lose your soul, what will you be left with?
It's just the body.
The road to the end eventually ends in death.
No matter how much you take care of your body, time will push it away.
It is said that the way for the flesh is wide and easy, and many people are going that way.
How many people today live by taking care of only their bodies?
They only care about how they appear to others.
So I touch my face, so I try to wear poppy clothes, so I take care of my body
He puts all his heart into his work, but does not make any effort for the soul.
But the Bible says, 'May all things go well with you, just as your soul goes well'.
is. This means that when the soul prospers, all things in the body prosper and prosper.
All.
Therefore, the most precious thing in life is
Realizing this and living the life of faith is the life of faith.
Lost souls!
No matter how splendid their bodies appear, their sins end in death.
On the path of life, hope must receive Jesus Christ, who leads to life.
The psalmist writes in Psalm 42:1, “As a deer, O God, thirsts for streams of water.
My soul thirsts for you."
As a thirsty and thirsty deer wanders for a brook, so my soul seeks God
This means that you are desperate to find it.
You don't know how earnest your heart is for God.
That's it. As long as you are immersed in the pleasures of the body, there is no thirst for the soul.
God cannot be seen.
That is why the abundance of matter without a soul is the chain of death.
3. Jesus Christ is said to be the true way of our lives.
It is a matter of which road is the road.
There are many ways to deceive the world.
Jesus Christ said, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.'
He said that no one comes to my Father except through me.
There is no other word that is more expressive than this.
It is the path that leads to life.
I don't know how many people today have gone astray.
People who have fallen into the path of a cult, lead the soul to ruin with lies disguised as the truth
How many antichrists are there?
Therefore, we must immediately trust and follow Jesus on our way.
According to the deeds of Jesus in the Gospels, when he was 12 years old, he passed away with his parents.
There was a time when I went up to Jerusalem to protect the temple.
After all the feasts, on the way home, Jesus' parents only knew that Jesus was with him.
There is a record that he lost Jesus on the road and met him again in the temple three days later.
C. (Luke 2:41-47)
This is giving us a spiritual lesson to ponder today.
Even Jesus' parents had lost him on the road.
Even today, there are many Christians who have lost Jesus.
Even today, there are some Christians who believe mainly in church events.
In other words, he was busy living a life centered on church activities, but had faith without Jesus.
I mean, there are people living there.
These are people who mistakenly think that Jesus is with them.
If it's a Sunday, it's a Sunday, if it's a three-day prayer meeting, if it's a morning prayer meeting, it's a morning prayer meeting, everyone is welcome to attend
are doing
And, by joining various missionary organizations, they spend their days as busy as others in volunteer work.
is.
So naturally, there are people who know that Jesus is with them?
All.
Those were Jesus' parents.
Jesus' parents, of course, shared their anticipation of the event they had with many people on the Passover.
He would have only known that Jesus was walking with him.
However, Jesus does not appear.
As a good example, they listen to the Word, but do not try to live according to the Word.
Even after hearing the sermon right away, they act apart from the sermon.
I said if anyone would come after me, let him take up his cross and follow me.
Far from being ourselves, we blush and raise our voices because we are hurting our self-esteem.
Where could Jesus be in such a heart?
Will Jesus come into my heart and have a seat on my side?
"Lord Jesus, come into my heart... Change and become a new person..." The hymn was sang
But, there is no room for the Lord Jesus to come into my heart.
So, there are not always comfortable days.
His heart is always filled with complaints and complaints.
They live a life of faith without knowing joy and gratitude.
I always see only complaints in church life.
I have no intention of glorifying God with gratitude, joy, and joy.
In this case, is Jesus really walking with me? I'll have to think about it sometime
I did.
We must not lose Jesus Christ in our path of life.
Because that is the way to protect the soul.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
You will discover the true meaning of life by walking with him.
“For us Christians, the process is more important than the destination.
is.
Saint Augustine said, “To walk in the right way with staggering and limping is standing upright.
It is better than going astray.'
The worldly people are interested in 'how to walk', but Christians are interested in 'which
You have to be on the road.
When you want to go to a certain destination, pay attention to whether the route is comfortable and convenient.
Instead of crying, you should pay more attention to whether the path is the right path or not.
Because what God sees is not only the destination, but also the way to go.
Don't worry too much or procrastinate over the little things that block your journey.
And we must not neglect our efforts to return to the solid foundation of life.
Otherwise these little things will pile up and pile up and drag you down the path of eternity.
Along the way, there are beautiful flowers that tempt us.
It also sounds beautiful. But if you lose your soul by the roadside, the path of the right soul
can't go In order not to lose your soul by the roadside, you must go on the right path.
All.
Richard Carlson teaches the two laws of a harmonious life:
First, don't dwell on trivial things.
Second, everything is trivial.
To go on the right path without losing your soul by the roadside, you must not cling to small
do.
Because everything is trivial except to protect our souls."
As I read this article, the words that resonate with me are 'Don't take our souls on our way.
'I must know' and 'Everything is trivial except to protect the soul'
was the word. It is true.
The most important thing in life's path is to protect the soul.
If we gain the world and lose our souls, what good is it?
and is different from a lump of dirt.
This body, which is a lump of dirt, will rot if its nostrils stop breathing.
No matter how much love a couple shared, if the soul leaves, they cannot live with the corpse.
You can tell by looking.
But why do you still not realize this truth and want to live by caring for your body
do you We are now in the season of Lent. This Lent period, lost
I hope there will be precious opportunities to recover the lean soul. ♣
