Mother!/John 19:23-27
(The soldiers crucified Jesus, took his robe and divided it into four collars, one for each.
I got a lot of money and took my underwear too, so these underwear were not sacked, but woven from above.
Ra's soldiers said to one another, "Do not tear it apart, but let's cast lots to see who wins."
In order to fulfill what they said in the scriptures, "They divide my clothes and cast lots for my clothes."
The soldiers did these things, and stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, his aunt, and Clopas.
and Mary Magdalene, his wife's wife, stood there, and Jesus
When he saw the man standing beside him, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son.
When he had finished, he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” From that time on,
took him to his own house) (John 19:23-27)
In 1995 at Oxford University in England, the question was as follows:
These 7 answers are said to have been elected.
1. The home is a world without struggle, a world full of love.
2. The home is where the little ones grow and the big ones get smaller.
3. The home is the father's kingdom, the mother's world, and the son's paradise.
4. The home is where the most complaints are made, but the best treatment.
5. The home is the center of affection.
6. Home is a place where the stomach gets food for a day and the heart gets strength a thousand times.
7. The home is a place on earth where human faults and failures are covered with sweet consolation.
Everyone! What do you think?
I like the 2nd and 7th.
'A home is where the little ones grow and the great get smaller' and
There is a saying that 'home is a place on earth where human faults and failures are covered'.
Of course, there are countless other good things to say about the family.
Who is the first face that comes to mind when you say the word?
It would be a 'mother's face'.
It is probably because the centripetal force of any family is the mother.
Therefore, if there is a place that people always miss in their hearts, it is their hometown,
The person I miss the most would be my mother.
Everyone spent 10 months in their mother's womb, and in her arms, the heart of her mother
Since I grew up with a child, this is natural.
When I was young, my mother's smell was something I could recognize even with my eyes closed.
My mother's smell was soot from pine branches and the smell of spices.
Although he has already gone to heaven, his mother's scent is still remembered forever.
I did.
So, the one I miss and the one I miss is my mother.
Because a mother's embrace is the home of the eternal heart of all children.
The Bible describes the beauty of life in this way.
“The glory of the young is their strength, and the beauty of the old is their gray hair” (Proverbs 20:29).
“Gray hair is a crown of glory, it shall be found in the path of righteousness” (Proverbs 16:31).
what do you mean?
This means that not everyone can have gray hair, a symbol of aging.
First of all, it is said that one must be born with the blessing of health, and that it can be obtained on the path of righteousness.
is.
That means you can't expect gray hair from drunkards, villains, and bastards.
Gray hair is a symbol of victory through perseverance while going through all the hardships of life.
These are our mothers.
Then mother! What can you feel and realize through these words?
are you?
1. Mother! It makes you realize what love is in these words.
Mother conceived our life in her own body,
It provided nutrients.
And while enduring the pain of birth and suffering ready to die, he gave birth to us, Jinja
You grew it by changing the dry place.
Not only that, but with all his heart, he guided him on the path of learning,
He endured everything and persevered to form a human personality.
What made us realize in all this process is the love of Him, Mother.
Where can you feel the difference between 'no iron' and 'have'?
You will be judged on the basis of knowing your mother's love.
No matter how tall you are and how big you are, if you don't know your mother's love, you still
You have to be an immature child.
So it is mother who showed us what love is.
With the love of a mother, today we become adults and exist like this.
The foundation of all our existence is mother's love.
Who can deny this?
'Mother!' In these words, I felt infinite rest and lost in the smell of my mother.
Reminds me of the world of sims.
Even the child who was wandering on the road of life said 'Mother!' Tears and stones at the sound of calling
It hurts.
This is because mothers are imprinted with eternal love in the hearts of their children.
Therefore, the love of God was expressed through the love of a mother.
“How can a woman forget her suckling child, and have no pity on the son of her womb?
Would you not?” (Isaiah 49:15).
It means that we come to know God's love through mother's love.
2. Mother! In these words, we learn the basics of being human.
A man who honors his mother will not honor elders like his mother.
You can not.
Because if you love your own mother, you can't help but love your brother's mother too.
is.
This is the perception of human beings.
The people who deserve the most respect in this world are adults.
Gray hair doesn't just turn gray hair, it goes through life's trials and tribulations.
He said that it was obtained from the path of living a righteous life.
If it wasn't for these adults, we wouldn't be where we are today.
If they did not lead this society properly, the world would be far worse than it is now.
because it would have been made.
In that sense, if you look at the 70-80-year-olds in Korea, they suffer the most.
I see it as a generation.
The 6.25 war made us the poorest country in the world.
How poor was our economy in the early 1970s?
I still vividly remember it.
In 1963-68, when I was in Gyeongsan, Daegu, the rural guidance center agents were at the village hall.
I remember when I said that my country's export target this year was 170 million dollars.
this comes
And one year, President Park said that he exported 10 billion dollars, and oil broke out in the Pohang area.
I remember hearing that he ate it with champagne.
By the way, do you know what our country's total exports were in 2002?
It was a whopping 162.47 billion dollars.
It has multiplied 1,600 times in just over 30 years.
Behind this economic growth is the blood and sweat of adults who are now gray.
means there is.
It should not be forgotten.
Even though they suffered, they tied their waists, saying that they would not pass on poverty to their children.
He said that he had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and only saving money.
These are the living generations.
Thanks to that, our society today is what it is.
But how are you treated these days?
Conservatives, poor people, and thinkers of the Cold War, and it is not that they are being neglected in the background.
isn't it?
In Job 8:8-11, it says, “Please, ask the people of ancient times, and ask them what their ancestors learned.
Learn, will they not teach you, and speak the words of their heart?
Shall not the king's bones grow, not pearls, and the reeds grow without water?
nah" he said.
There is no such thing as being foolish as to make the object of reform the age of reform.
All.
So, in Psalm 78:5-8, “The LORD has established a testimony for Jacob, and he has carried out his decrees.
ordained to Israel, and commanded our ancestors to make known to their descendants.
This is why they set their hope in God, and do not forget the works of God.
They keep their commandments, their fathers, stubborn and rebellious, and dishonest in heart.
and that his spirit may not be like a generation that has not been faithful to God.”
What does all this mean?
Listen carefully to the words of your seniors, and the experiences and experiences of adults, and follow them again.
It was a command to pass it on to the hands so that they could put their hope in God.
Therefore, it is said that we should teach our future generations to respect the elders.
However, the country that is targeted for the expulsion of mans who cannot do that will eventually become a strong country.
means it can't.
3. Mother! In these words, the lesson of the Lord's love is put into practice.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, completely obeyed his physical parents.
And even at the moment of carrying out the great redemptive work of mankind on the cross, think of Mother.
It was.
Seeing how much he respected his parents when he saw his disciple asking for his mother
can be found.
Through these words of the Lord, in our position as disciples of Christ, and
How the church, a community that builds the body of the Way, should respect adults
come to realize
Spiritually, the church is the family.
It is a big family that builds a community of love.
It is a model to live by practicing the love of the Lord.
First, there must be respect for adults in the church.
I need to treat all the adults in the church like my parents.
1 Timothy 5:1-2 says, “Do not rebuke an old man, but exhort him as a father,
Treating a lover as a brother, treating an old woman as a mother, treating a young woman at all
Be clean, as you would a sister.”
Where can you see that faith is good?
You can see it in your life, and you will have to look at the way you treat adults.
If you have truly matured faith, like our Lord, you must first serve your parents at home.
you will have to be gentle
He said that this is the right thing to do and that it is a commandment with a promise.
The commandment with the promise of good luck and long life on earth is the commandment to honor your parents.

However, it is our situation that we do not obey it well.
How many children these days are pretending not to know their parents?
It's an extreme thing, but there are also some disgruntled children who went away with their own children as they migrated.
saw that What good is the man who leaves the mother who gave birth to him?
would you like Will he have to be abandoned by his children again?
All.
In the old days, there was a system called Goryeojang.
However, they did not throw it away like today's disaffected children.
As I read the article ‘Mojeong (母情)’, I try to redraw the love of a mother.
On a deep night with a full moon, there was the faint sound of a dog barking from a distant village.
is.
The son carrying his mother on his back lost his feet many times because of the tears that kept flowing.
It's gone.
The mother on her back had no sign of falling asleep.
Although he follows the national law to take the old man to the mountain, he is angry and resentful.
I just wanted to sit down and cry.
As we passed the mountainside, a small rock cave that we had been keeping an eye on for a while came up.
All.
The son went inside and laid his mother on one side of the pile of dry grass and made a small bonfire.
I put it on and covered my mother's shoulders with grass.
Then tears welled up in my eyes again.
"Son, go back home. It's late at night."
As the mother spoke quietly with concern, the son knelt and opened his mouth.
“Mother, I will drop in every two days with food, so please take care of yourself.”
"It's okay. There will be insufficient food for the children... Don't worry. I'll take care of the berries.
Don't find the root of a tree and eat it."
Tears welled up in my mother's eyes.
Son can't be there any longer, he's just about to leave the cave to say hi
said
At that time, the mother called her son and brought something from her pocket, tightly wrapped in a cloth.
I pushed it and held it in my hand.
It was the one my wife gave my mother as a snack every evening.
It was noodles.
