Title: Respect the Worship
(A man of God came to Eli and said to him, Thus saith the LORD,
I did not appear to them when the house belonged to the house of Pharaoh in Egypt.
Nya, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have chosen him to be my priest.
Did you not go up to the altar and burn incense and put on the ephod before me?
Have I not given all the offerings of sacrifice to the house of your ancestors?
W tread on my sacrifices and offerings which I commanded in my dwelling place, and make your sons above me.
I value it more, and make myself fat with the best of the offerings of my people Israel.
Therefore, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I used to live with your house and your
The house of merchants will stand before me forever. But now, saith the LORD, I am determined.
No, I will not. Those who honor me I will honor,
I will despise those who do
God is looking for worshipers.
God blesses those who worship through true worship.
That is the blessing of rest.
That is the blessing of rest.
So, he told them to remember the Sabbath and keep it separate.
Our Lord, who came as Lord of the Sabbath, also
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
He promised to give you the blessing of rest and rest.
How many people are carrying the heavy burden of life's hardships today?
How many people live without real rest in life?
There are so many people who are really under extreme stress.
How do we deal with such pitiful stress?
How should I live to enjoy rest in this precarious world?
We must find it in the Word.
And we must live by it.
However, it is a problem because we do not know where the source of that rest comes from.
The true grace of life begins with a life of worshiping God.
This is because God seeks worshipers and seeks to bless them.
1. Worship is the first and foremost act that pleases God.
① Worship is serving God,
② Worship is fellowship with God,
③ Worship is being united with God as one.
If we serve God, fellowship with God, and unite with God,
From there, there will be rest.
Because this doesn't work properly, we live without rest.
Even today, there are so many spiritually and physically tired lives.
Why should we serve God, why should we fellowship with God, and why should we unite with God?
Because we are all creatures.
By creature we mean weak, limited beings.
☞ A sheet of paper has no value, but if the amount of money is recorded on it, it
You can buy hundreds of sheets of paper and have leftovers. If you are united with God like this, you will be fine.
Even though we are not human beings, we feel infinite value.
Even in the same business, there are infinite possibilities for those who are united with God.
☞ Last week, I was invited by Elder Mo.
During the senior examination, I was asked a question about the Sunday holy water issue, and at that time, I decided to

In this way, we are worthless, but when God is with us, we gain infinite value.
☞ A piece of gauze is not very strong.
However, if this weak gauze is attached to the veneer, it will tear unless the veneer is broken.
It's not messy. When it is attached to a thick steel plate, it has the strength of a steel plate.
All.
This is union with God.
Even now, God is trying to find those who seek Him and worship Him and make great use of it.
We are looking at how well we are worshiping.
The act of worship appeared as an act of sacrifice in the Old Testament.
According to the Ten Commandments, we are told to remember that day and keep it holy.
That day was called the Sabbath.
That day is a day of rest.
God tried to give people rest.
Not pain, pain, or tragedy, but the joy of rest.
That was the paradise in the Garden of Eden.
But after the crime, this rest was broken.
So, to give them rest again, I made them keep the commandments.
However, forgetting God's original intention to give rest, the Pharisees and the
The legalists were literally entangled in The Day, even on the day they tried to give them rest.
Lear tied up the man.
In the end, man made it for the Sabbath.
So on the Sabbath day, if you do anything, it is a sin, and if you do anything, it is a sin.
tied up Jesus also tried to convince them that they were healed on the Sabbath.
is. The Lord, contrary to them, does not exist for the Sabbath, but for the Sabbath
He said it was for this man, and healed the sick on the Sabbath;
It was called human.
What a bombshell declaration is this?
In today's terms, it was a groundbreaking reform of consciousness.
What does it mean to remember the Sunday and keep it holy?
This means that there should be a set day in our daily life.
There must be a set apart day to remember God in our lives.
In other words, the day of the Lord must be present in our lives.
Strictly speaking, every day is a day of living in the sovereignty of God,
The act of keeping them separate is an act of faith.
It means that there must be a distinct and distinct act of faith in life.
⇒ Even if you earn money, there must be an act of remembering God in your life of making money.
All. That is the life of faith.
⇒ Even if you study, you must have an act of faith to remember God in your study life.
means to do it.
⇒ Becoming a civil servant and performing public duties
It means there must be an action. This is what it means to keep the day set apart.
is. We must not be literalists like the Pharisees.
But in our reality, the opposite is true.
When you earn money, God disappears because you focus on earning money.
So the week is gone.
The act of worship disappears.
I'm just busy looking for money.
The same goes for those who study.
Worship is lost because of studying hard.
Weekdays disappear to prepare for the exam.
So, how could God do great things with such people?
Weekdays are pushed out of life because of high public office performance.
So, there is no rest in that life,
So, it means that there is no rest in that life.
God created the universe in six days, and rested one day.
It became a day of rest.
However, because of human sin, the Garden of Eden is saved, and excuses, accusations, hatreds, strife, and
It has been reduced to a world where people bite and bite each other due to conflict. But living like this
The way of salvation has been opened again for us who are perishing, and that is why the Lord came to this earth.
It was purpose.
Then why should we honor the Lord's Day and keep the Lord's Day?
It is to glorify God by giving thanks for the grace of salvation.
If you are a person who has realized the grace of salvation, Sunday should come first above everything.
is. When the day of the Lord begins to slip away from your life, you just get busy and disappear.
is. All the manna harvested on the Sabbath day in the wilderness smelled and rotted.
I did. This is a great spiritual lesson for us today.
Therefore, remembering that day and keeping it holy must include devotion.
All.
The people who made promises to the president don't know how sincere they are.
However, attitudes to approach God, who is higher than the president, came out without sincerity.
Can you get a kite break? There are many cases where people return only to the temple courtyard.
Sincere expression is not in the form, but in the heart.
If you give thanks from the heart and a separate ritual from the heart, it will be given to God.
is delighted
2. Therefore, worship is a religious act that honors God.
To respect God means to value worship.
The first sign that appears as evidence of a disease of faith is that the worship time becomes tiring.
Worship is no longer fun.
You will be put to the test against your servants.
even hate it.
Words don't come into my ears
If there is a reason, you will miss the worship service.
Still, I don't feel much remorse.
It eventually leads to paralysis.
It was said that worship to God would be the result of contempt for God.
⇒ This is a fact that is evident in the case of Eli the priest.
They forgot the noble office of the priest and, on the contrary, regarded their children as more important.
Even today, they regard their children as more important and neglect worship as only for them.
We need to reflect deeply on whether or not there are people.
If you still think this way today, you are wrong.
The reason why Jewish home education is so thorough is that the act of worshiping God is the best.
Because it came by shipment. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your strength
And in the same way, love your neighbor as yourself.”
I thoroughly taught this to my children at home.
As a result, look at the Jews of today.
Even physically, there are no beggars that eat them.
How can famous people tell the truth that all the Jews are bloodlined?
would you?
3. If you respect worship, God will honor you too.
Worship that the Lord taught is more about what leads to life than in the form of keeping Sundays.
I valued it. When speaking to a Samaritan woman, rather than a place of worship,
He put more importance on the heart toward God with sincerity.
When the Lord came into the world, the Jewish practices of worship were so biased toward formality.
I don't know. So they overturned the tables of the dove sellers and the money changers in the temple.
He said that my house is a house of prayer for Manmin.
It is the same today.
It doesn't matter if you go to church and sit down and attend the service.
If the body is out but the mind is all out into the world, such a worshiper
You will not be able to consider them only if God respects them.
Therefore, he sees the sincerity of the hearts of those who worship him.
He sees the sincerity of the hearts of those who donate.
He sees the sincerity of the hearts of those who serve.
He sees the sincerity of the hearts of those who are entrusted with the work of the church.
He sees the sincerity of taking only the position and taking on that position.
Those who neglect that office cannot be valued by God.
“I will honor those who honor me, and those who despise me I will despise.
la" he said.
It's so natural.
Now let us all examine ourselves and make sure that worship is not neglected in our homes.
We must reflect deeply.
Whether the act of worship is not being pushed out of the way I go, in the work I do...
We must reflect deeply.
And we must recover the lost deeds.
So I hope that you will find the blessing of rest and true rest in our lives. ♣
