Title: Praise of Mary (Luke 01:46-55)
Contents When Koreans go to China, they try to climb Mt. Baekdu by any means.
Chinese people find it very strange. There are many other good places, but the bottom line is, is it really that difficult to climb Mt. Baekdu? However, there is a huge difference between the Mt. Baekdu that we feel and Mt. Baekdu that people feel.
The same is true of our worship today. Jesus Christ became my Lord, my Savior, and died on the cross for me. He loved me and chose me to lead and help me to this day. In that case, the worship service, hymn, and prayer are different. There are several places like this in the Bible. In Mark 14, a woman with a certain sinful nature came to the Lord and wept in gratitude for the grace that the Lord had given her, poured out the perfume that she had brought with him, and kissed her feet, washed her feet with her hair, and wept. When I soaked it, people around me wondered and thought it was a waste of perfume. However, the woman was possessed by a demon and the Lord freed her to start a new life. That emotion, that grace, could not be controlled. People who have not experienced this cannot understand.
Today's text is the praise of Mary. God has looked upon me as a humble person. From now on, all generations will say that I am blessed. God looked after this woman among many women. You moved Mary's life from a humble place to a precious place. No matter how talented or beautiful people are, if they fall into Satan's hands, they will perish. However, no matter how low and lowly a person is, if he is caught in God's hand, he becomes a noble and high person.
Worship offered after meeting with our Lord is truly living worship.
I am truly moved and I hope that you will have a worship service that comes from the depths of your heart so that others do not know why I hold such a worship service.
