Title: Parents, that great love
Content Example) Mother's Day: 1913, USA, Ms. Anna Jarvis. On the first anniversary of my mother, who had been a teacher at a church school all her life, she went to church with a white carnation on her chest to commemorate her. In Korea, May 8 was designated as Mother's Day at the National Assembly in 1956, but changed to "Mother's Day" in 1973. To encourage filial piety to both parents.
Today's message is a mother's love that makes my heart ache every time I read it. Here we see the sweat, tears, and prayers of a mother who has a sick daughter. Children should know the love of their parents.
I. You must know that sweaty love.
? Let's read 21-22. A woman from a foreign country - a mother of a daughter who suffers from being possessed by a demon. When they saw Jesus, they ran and cried out. “Lord, Son of David, have pity on me.” Why did he ask me to have pity on me? A daughter's life is her mother's life, and a daughter's pain is her own suffering.
? Perhaps this mother has shed all the toil and sweat for her daughter without ever doing it. Paul thanked the Thessalonian church for “your loving labor” (1 Thessalonians 1:3).
? What is the problem with love in this age? Sweatless love. Say love straight away without sweat. I try to be successful and good without sweat. Sweat is not pain or punishment. it's love It is a love that comes out from within and flows like dew. My parents didn't just raise me, but they had sweat and love.
? All children should live with that love in their hearts and in their hearts.
II. You must know the love of tears.
? What was flowing from the mother's eyes, who continued to cry and follow Jesus who did not even look back? Finally, he bowed down to Jesus and begged. “Lord help me” (25)
? What did Jesus answer? Let's read verse 26. “… It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." He said with tears on his face. Let's read verse 27. “You are right, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table… ”
? This mother's tears were not tears. There was more blood flowing from those eyes. For my daughter, I could be a ‘dog’.
? That plea of tears moved Jesus. Do your children know these tears?
Example) President Lincoln's father boasted:
? Children eat the love of their parents and grow up to be great.
Ⅲ. You must know the love of that prayer.
Everything about this mother was actually a prayer that cried out with her heart.
? Saints, have you ever seen parents without prayer? Have you ever seen love without prayer?
? Jesus, who was trying to test his mother's prayer, could not bear it any longer.
'Come, come! My daughter!’
? Children of such parents cannot be shaken. Hymn 333:1 Let's do it together.
? Saints, I hope you will become prayerful parents. Children of praying parents cannot be lost.
? Do you have parents who do not pray? Be prayerful parents. It will become the best and greatest Hyosung.
Let's read verse 28. “… Woman, great is your faith, and it will be done as you wish.” Victorious mother, eldest mother! Everyone, I hope you win like this.
? Let's all remember the sweat, the tears, and the love of prayer and live up to that will.
