Love with joy よろコびのある愛
1 Corinthians 13:6
In the Bible, the words joy and gladness as a noun appear 250 times, and the word rejoice as a verb 200 times. Putting these together, the Bible tells us to rejoice and rejoice more than 450 times.
There are two Greek words for the word joy, masos and kara.
Masos means worldly joy, and Kara means joy without worldly conditions.
Joy, one of the nine fruits of the Spirit, is Kara. In other words, the joy that is the fruit of the Holy Spirit does not come from worldly conditions, but is an unconditional joy given when the Holy Spirit is present in my heart.
The source of this joy lies in God. In other words, God Himself is joy.
It's not just the love of Yoon Su-il, which was popular in the 1970s. There is a rare song called If I had known that love would be so painful, I would rather not meet only you, even if I regret it now, it is useless, but even if the memories of those days and times come again, I would not have much love.
And there is no one who doesn't know the song, Hoona Na's love is the seed of tears. If you ask me what love is, I'd say it's the seed of tears. If you don't abandon me in the future, why is this song so popular with the public?
It's because they empathize. If Yoon Soo-il sings that song, I'll do it because it's hard for even a handsome singer to love
If you say you don't want to love, how can a person like me love you? The song is a hit because there is an empathy that evokes the bitter memories of love.
In the old days, our grown-up generation had such a lot of resentment, so I think dark and dull songs were a hit.
But even today's young people say that there is a song called Baek Ji-young's love is like being shot.
I'm so crazy like I've been shot I just laughed and laughed. just laughed just......
I just smiled and asked one question. why are we breaking up how do you break up How do you break up?
The expression is also very terrible. What does it mean for so many people to resonate and sing this kind of song that love is so painful, it hurts and it hurts like it was shot?
The result of the wrong person is necessarily tears and regrets, despair and frustration, and leads to pain as if shot.
However, the love the Bible speaks of today is the exact opposite. Love is not the seed of tears, love is not as painful as being shot.
Dear saints,
In today's text, Paul says that love is joy. Paul is not in a position to say that now.
Because of his love for the Lord, he was forced to spend his whole life in despair.
If Paul had not loved the Lord, he would have done well in the world and would have lived a life full of joy in the world.
I met Jesus by mistake and my life was miserable.
But Paul is saying that love is joy. Love is not alone.
It is true that meeting the wrong spouse or target person can be painful like being shot. Even so, it is very difficult and difficult to go out trying to make a worthless person worthy because of unexplained love, but there is a strange joy in it. Notice verse 6.
