Maria's song
Luke 1:46-56
The day before yesterday ((December 23), I attended the 'Christmas Peace Prayer Meeting' in Daegu-Gyeongbuk Mokhyup.
Although a small number of people gathered, the open worship followed by praise, prayer, Bible reading, and the Lord's Supper was held.
So I experienced a new blessing. St. Francis of Assisi in the praise we sang together
There was a 'Prayer for Peace' written by Sco. Praise for the well-known content of:
is.
Lord, make me an instrument of peace. Where there is hate, love, where there is scar
Forgiveness, where there is division, unity, where there is doubt, faith. there is an error
Where there is truth, where there is despair, there is hope, where there is darkness, there is light, where there is sorrow
Let me sow joy. Comfort rather than be comforted, understand and love rather than be understood
It is because we receive eternal life by loving the Lord and trusting Him completely. Lord, give me peace
Please use it as a tool.
As we sang this hymn together, what I felt in my heart was that I had the attitude of life like Francesco.
I was wondering if I couldn't sing like this with my mouth alone without being able to hold on to it.
is. Even though we can't capture our lives, we still read and sing praises to God's Word.
I think the reason for this is because he understands faith in a kind of sentimental way.
is. This sentimental belief is completely independent of our deep understanding of God.
It seems to be a lot more realistic in some ways because it's just a logical operation. resemblance
Just like women who are obsessed with cold, go to a neighboring portrait house and release their sadness to the point of being excessive.
I mean. A person's suppressed unconscious must be released through this method
You may be able to lead a sensible life. But if faith always moves in this way,
In Lee's life of faith, God will gradually lose its weight. we are God
Interpreting the Word on a practical level is a problem, but abstracting it
That's a problem. Beyond practicality and abstraction, we have to catch up with that reality, and the work
It's not that simple.
The words we read today, like the songs of Francesco, strike our hearts.
content. I don't think too seriously about the depth of these words.
When we approach only religious rhetoric, we cover up the Word. what the hell is this song
What are you talking about? In fact, it is so certain that this hymn was sung by Mary.
it doesn't falter. According to the custom of that time, Mary, betrothed to Joseph, had just passed puberty.
It must have been a Lynn girl. Did that little girl have the ability to interpret human history like this?
It is difficult to imagine that there will be. Perhaps the earliest Christian confessions of faith were the name of this Mary.
I think it may have been inherited by borrowing it. Whether such a historical fact is decisive is not important
not. No matter how it was transmitted, early Christianity was at the time the New Testament was written.
The only thing clear is that the faith I had in my heart was expressed in the form of a song like this.
is.
As it is often stated in the Old Testament, Mary's praise today also praises God as Almighty.
sing it. "The Lord stretches out his mighty arm..." (verse 31). God Almighty
Confessing that is a vague idea, or as critics like Freud
It is not a psychological expression that reflects the Oedipus complex. Or, as many Christians expect
As mentioned above, it is mentioned in terms of fulfilling a desire that we cannot achieve.
nor is it. This is a prophetic analysis and judgment that penetrates the world and its history. just
If God is not omnipotent, then he is not God. This world is made by him
As it began, everything that happens in this world is possible only through Him. yes
I don't mean his omnipotence can solve everything in a mechanical way. resemblance
It is by no means omnipotent as dictators monopolize everything and exercise arbitrariness. then
On the contrary, the powerful and big business people of this world have much more ability.
is. God is truly omnipotent in a completely different way than that.
About the other way, Maria sings:
1) He scattered those who were proud in heart (verse 51).
2) He cast away those in authority (verse 52).
3) The rich were sent back empty-handed (verse 53).
The three types of people mentioned above want us to achieve so much in this world.
is such an object. As we experience when we open our eyes, most people today
They sacrifice everything to gain power and wealth. But God said that every month we come
It is said that He scatters and throws away these things, and makes them empty-handed. Is this true
Is this a definitive historical diagnosis? Or to comfort those who are oppressed by this power.
Isn't that just a business? All three elements have similar personalities but are slightly different
Let's review them individually in that we are dealing with the parts.
To be proud of your heart is literally to set your heart high. high hee
It's not about having a network, it's about putting yourself higher than others.
is. The expression of pretending to be handsome seems appropriate here. Isn't this always a bad thing
All. When a person learns to respect himself, others will respect him as well. show
It is not so desirable to live with a sense of self-esteem or inferiority. but self
A heart that absolutizes itself, a heart that puts oneself in the place of God
far from faith. However, humans are truly strange creatures. sleep at any moment
You never lose sight of yourself. No matter what you do or say, you are the center
It's possible. It's not just a person who shows off in particular, but he's still relatively educated.
Even those who know how to save face write their hearts centered on themselves. This is my heart
Maybe it's worth it?
Mary's prayer is that God will scatter the proud with His mighty arm.
do. I think this verse foretells the misfortune that will one day befall the proud man.
I did. I act like I'm bragging right now, but if I keep cherishing that kind of heart, I'll eventually lose
I mean, people are scattered. This interpretation is not so wrong, but it is more thorough.
If you think about it, the fact that this is not only happening in the future, but already happening in the present
can be found. Those who are proud in heart, that is, give the basis of their existence to themselves
Dumplings, therefore, treat others not as a relationship of love, but as a relationship of domination and instrumentalism.
People who think and live cannot control their own mind. Always scattered like the chaff of the wind
It just flies. No matter how strong your self-confidence is, no matter how strong your own heart
The more tightly you lock it, the more empty your mind will inevitably become. of course continuous
You can fool people's eyes for a while by pretending to be good, but you can fool yourself and God.
can't.
Mary's praise resounds with such solemnity. The Lord is the mighty arm of authority
It means that those who are there will be thrown out of their place. If you look at these verses alone, the early Christian common
Che was truly full of revolutionary energy. Can control the lives of grasshoppers
It can be said that it is a song that rebels against the authority of the emperor. Christianity essentially overthrows the system
However, it does not aim at the denial of all values and order, but at the same time
Latitude is also not absolute. Absolute is a term that applies only to God.
Every time the church entered the absolute realm, the church challenged it. In fact, the nature of power
is to constantly increase one's strength, but paradoxically, when it becomes excessive
it will crumble. The term 'Kwon and Bullying' did not just come out. Politics is justice in this world
If it is used as a tool to create peace with
If it is exercised as a force for the sake of God, it must be corrupted, so that we do not show blood.
Even if it does, it will collapse. All the empires in the Mediterranean region that formed the setting of the Old Testament
If you look at the ups and downs you've been through, this is clear. Even the Roman Empire, which seemed like it would last forever, was on the road to collapse
and Hitler's ideology of the Holy Roman Empire also met a tragic end. one
If you're alive, and if he's omnipotent, don't let the self-absolute power
you won't Of course, it doesn't mean that lightning strikes from the sky right now and dispels power.
No. God gives us the power to walk the path of self-absolute in ways we never expected.
This is coming down They cannot bear the power they have built up, and they are destroyed by misuse.
It means you have no choice but to go down the road.
Is it true that God sends the rich back empty-handed? jesus beats
In Luke 6:24, where the word is newly transmitted as a contrast between blessing and harm, a similar
Words appear. ?쏝ut you are unhappy, you rich people.
I have received all the law." Now that all life processes are connected with money, we cannot hear this word.
I don't take it very seriously though. At best, in making money in a dishonest way
Think of it as a warning against someone who is spiritually proud, or as a warning against someone who is spiritually flattered.
do. The attitude of faith that falsifies or distorts the Word of God in this way is the right thing to do.
This is Lee's limit. What can we discover if we consider today's text and 6:24 together?
can. Because the rich are satisfied with the comfort that wealth gives,
You don't want true comfort. To say that his mind is full of money-related things
It means he has nothing on his mind. All my life, I only think about money, but in the end
As a result, they lose valuable things and become empty-handed.
In fact, everyone living today is vastly richer than people in the past.
I think I mentioned it briefly last week, but in the 1960s and 70s, when I was a child, we
Everyone lived with poverty. But these days, if we just work hard
Even in these cold days, you can eat rice in a warm room. our group from 100 years ago
You no longer need to check how luxurious you are compared to the statues.
Still, our lives are somewhat empty. Empty. Satisfied with the comfort of wealth
In the end, our life itself is empty because we stay in life. I don't care how much we
Even if we grow up to be a first-class nation, no, the more we do, the more empty it gets.
I think there is no choice but to lose. This is a prophecy contained in the Word of God, but at the same time
You're right on a sociological and psychological level as well.
Mary's praise does not remain in this sad reality. "Exalt the poor
