Title: Rat Moth Fruit (Luke 15:16)
Contents In our country, it is called a quince fruit, but the quince tree grows well anywhere in our country. The leaves are as tough as leather and are attached to each other in pairs of small, shiny leaves. It blooms mainly in late summer, but flowers bloom on branches that are one year old. The fruits ripen in late autumn are dark brown fleshy pods, about 10-20 cm long. This pod is very sweet. This fruit is eaten raw by humans and is also used as food for cattle, sheep, and pigs.
The Arabs also collect the pods to make juice. It becomes a kind of honey. When Israel crossed the Red Sea and encountered the bitter waters of Marah, Moses, who was revealed through prayer, broke the branches and threw them into the water. This tree has a lot of sugar and the fruit is sweeter, so the juice can be extracted to make honey.
bitter life path
Can't we bear the fruit that makes a bitter life sweet? Life is often said to be "a confession." There is no way for the suffering people who are rowing the bitter sea of life to live a sweet life. In a bloody world that only thinks about themselves and seeks only their own gains, people get a bitter taste.
A world where if you close your eyes you will cut your nose. A cruel world that tramples on others, ignores personalities, and betrays them for their own success, advancement, and profit. In a world like this, the bloody life of pushing and quarreling with each other is like rowing in a really painful sea. Selfishness is the problem. In a place where people are clamoring for only me to live, they will only get hurt at any time, and only bear bitter taste and bitter wounds in their hearts.
A missionary who did missions in Korea compared heaven and hell to a table on which the sacrament was served. When I went to hell, people were sitting and eating in front of the table where food was prepared, and they were all skinny and looking like an anglerfish. Why is he in such a state of death while sitting in front of a table full of seafood and seafood?
It was because all of his hands were outstretched, so he couldn't bring food to his mouth. Therefore, it is said that they couldn't eat even before the seafood and seafood, so they had an argument with each other and they were ferocious. When I went to heaven, it was the same situation, but the people in heaven are well-nourished and friendly. Looking closely for some reason, they also found that they had their hands outstretched, but they were not in a state of satisfaction with each other as they continued to feed the people next to them instead of eating them themselves.
The image of hell teaches selfishness, and the image of heaven speaks of altruism. It is a very ordinary story, but the truth is always ordinary and near.
The sweetness of the mouse fruit
Let's hear the story of the prodigal son. The second son, who received his father's share of the inheritance that will return to him in advance, went to a splendid city to trade, and then went bankrupt. He lived in a pig farm near the urban area and made a living. In the midst of a famine, dllstla became even more ferocious. It became more difficult to get food. The second son had his stomach full with the nutmeg, which is used as pig food. In difficult times, the taste of the sweet squash fruit could be a relief. But what the heck is it that a rich man gets his hands on pig food!
According to Tolstoy's Theory of Life, a man was walking in the woods and met a lion.
