Title: Quiet Life Revolution (Matthew 09:14-17)
Contents The people of our country who have experienced the 5.16 military revolution and the 12. 12 incident know what a revolution is. The cause of revolution is that when the current government or the current system does not solve the problems of the people well and there are many contradictions and corruptions, the purpose is to deny the past and make a new one. Of course, not for such a purpose, but there are some people who start a revolution to seize power through their personal lust for power, but they do not call it a revolution, but a situation or a coup. so
It is called the 5.16 Revolution and the 12.12 Incident.
A revolution always calls for the blood of many people. The French civil revolution of the 18th century, which was the starting point of modern democracy, the Bolshevik communist revolution that established the USSR, and the
The 5.16 military revolution and the 12. 12 incident also required the blood of many people to be shed.
Therefore, with this bloody revolution, many powerful and ambitious people wanted to change the world, but it eventually collapses under another revolution and only a vicious cycle of blood repeats itself. This is the lesson of human history.
1. Revolution of Nazareth
His love and inspiration moved many lives after that, causing the second and third revolution to take place. That revolution is the revolution of Jesus' life, the revolution of Jesus' love. In the 18th century, the British Methodist movement, centered on the Wesley brothers and Whitefield, became the driving force to revive Britain from a crisis. America's Great Awakening, led by Jonathan Edwards, saved America. This revolution caused pubs to close, mobs to turn into faithful citizens, and gamers and gamblers to turn into hardworking industry rebels. Historians call this a bloodless revolution because it is a revolution without bloodshed. The invisible subject of this bloodless revolution is Jesus Christ.
2. A Revolution in Life
Jesus Christ is a quiet revolutionary. I am not a military revolutionary who gains through the shedding of opponent's blood through armed soldiers, nor is it a popular revolutionary who seeks to achieve victory through Molotov cocktails, iron pipes, and timber. A quiet revolutionary who creates new life by breathing new life into people's souls.
There are two parables in the Bible. One is the parable of a piece of raw linen, and the other is the parable of new wine and old wineskins. Christ is like raw linen and new wine. However, the old habits of old life are old clothes and old leather bags. When people are in trouble with some difficult problem, they try to make up their minds or try to live a new life. However, things don't go as well as planned for three days. This is because the manners of the common people attract us.
We are well aware of the downfall of a young man who once enjoyed all the glory as the president's son. In the world, it is said that because of him, middle school equalization suddenly started and high school equalization also started. Literally, he grew up in a greenhouse, so as the years changed and the environment changed, he was relieved of the loneliness and fear that came upon him with drugs. Every time he appeared in the newspaper, he promised over and over again that he would live with his heart this time, but his promise was a matter of time and was not always kept. No, I don't know if that's a normal human form. Unless a fundamental solution is presented, that is, as long as the vicious cycle of putting new wine in old bags is repeated, life is always bound to return to the starting point. Therefore, our life change must happen from within. From the soul, from the mind, and from the will to the will.
Therefore 2 Corinthians 5; 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold. it has become new
Therefore, only by serving Jesus Christ is the fundamental solution to begin to occur. If you believe in Jesus, you are saying that it is not a change, but a whole new re-creation. This is the Word of God. This is the promise of the Bible. You, therefore, must first of all have Jesus Christ in your heart and shape your life around Him.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and wait; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him.??Jesus earnestly desires to enter into our hearts like this.
Second, to believe in Jesus is not to participate in the system, but to have a dynamic relationship with Christ. Confess that you love him. Confess your sins to Jesus. Discuss business with Esu. In every moment of your life, call on the Lord and pray.
3. Conclusion
The Lord is a quiet revolutionary. He is a revolutionary song of life that drives out death, a revolutionary song of forgiveness and holiness that drives out sin, a revolutionary song of love and mercy that drives out hatred, and a revolutionary song of faith that drives out unbelief and doubt. He is a revolutionist of order and peace that drives out disorder and chaos, and a revolutionist of heaven who expels hell.
Receive this Jesus and love him. May you build a personal relationship with Jesus and build that relationship stronger every day. The quiet revolution that begins within you will finally come with beautiful results that change your entire life.
