Title: Sinners and Heaven
He said to him, "Son, go to work in the vineyard today." He answered and said, "Father, I will go.
When he was done, he did not go, but went to the second son and said the same thing again.
He said no, but after that, he repented and went away. Which of the two did his father's will?
He said, "You are the second son." Jesus said to them, "Truly I
I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you.
Ra John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but a publican
The harlot believed, and when you saw this, you repented all the time and did not believe.
Today's text is an important parable that needs to be considered very deeply.
What does a sinner look like in God's plan of salvation, and how can we enter the kingdom of heaven?
what kind of person is
The fact that among sinners, there are sinners who will enter the kingdom of heaven and there are sinners who do not.
It shows clearly. In other words, heaven is not a place for the righteous to go, but for repentance
And it tells us that it is a place where sinners who have received sin can enter. That
That's why the Lord said, "Repent and believe in the gospel."
The problem today is that there are people who believe without repentance, so there is a problem.
All.
The content of the text is roughly as follows.
Once upon a time there was a father who owned a vineyard, and when he saw the eldest son, he said, “Hey, you
Enter the vineyard."
Go Hani,
I said "yes" and didn't go in.
He said to the second son, “Hey, you go into the vineyard today.
' and said, "No," and later repented and went into the vineyard.
Which of the two sons listened to their father? It's content.
Judging from the content of the text itself, the eldest son refers to the Jews, and among the Jews
It also referred to the priests, scribes, and Pharisees at the time of Jesus, and the second son was a Gentile,
Or did the Jews refer to those whom the Jews regarded as sinners, namely tax collectors and prostitutes?
All. The Jews outwardly said yes, yes, according to God's word, but they were impure in their actions.
It is a parable that reveals the obedience.
Therefore, while our Lord harshly rebukes them for their sins, the kingdom of heaven is rather your
Are you saying that there is a high probability that tax collectors and prostitutes, whom they regard as criminals, can enter?
All.
Today we say that through these words, we who say we believe are still in the church.
A person who does not come out, does not know who Jesus is, and lives by sinning like water.
How many beings can enter heaven compared to the fields? have to look at what
I'll do it. Are you saying that in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, you must not pretend to believe only outwardly?
All. Repentance means that we must bear fruit worthy of repentance even though we do it every day.
All. I hope today will be a time to reflect deeply on myself.
1. The two sons are saying that all human beings are disobedient sinners.
The eldest son outwardly says he will obey, and is a disobedient representative in deed
The second is not at all head-on from the beginning! Having said that, it is impure, needless to say
It is a representative of the species. Does this mean that all human beings are sinners who disobey God like this?
All. No one can dispute this statement.
In this respect, both the eldest son and the second son disobey their father and
They were all disobedient sinners who did according to their own accord and their own thoughts.
More specifically, the first means us who believe today,
Second, it refers to those who live outside the church in unbelief.
They say that everyone who comes to church is a believer in God.
But apparently yes, like the eldest son! In spite of that, always think of yourself in your actions
There are cases in which we live.
At the same time, they still consider those who do not attend church as sinners. more
When I see women on the streets or people living immorally, I despise them. this
That is what we are today.
At the time of Jesus, priests, Pharisees, and scribes were such people.
All. The people they despised the most were publicans and prostitutes.
The tax collectors had the Roman power on their backs and collected a lot of taxes to take advantage of them.
I didn't see it as a person. He was a stinkin who knew nothing but money, and he didn't even try to deal with him.
is. Moreover, he did not even want to sit down with anyone who was a publican among his people.
I did. It was because I thought it was a tyrant who sold the country.
Zacchaeus was also a publican, and Matthew was also a publican. Mary Magdalene is a distance between scholars
It is said that she was a woman who lived with poor conduct like the woman in No, the woman of Sugaseong
She lived like that, enough to have had five husbands. They were all at the time
In the eyes of the religious leaders of the world, they must have looked like lowly sinners. But they all
Not only did you receive Jesus and you were saved, but you also became a disciple of Jesus and did the work of the gospel ministry.
became soldiers. How amazing is this?
But what do they have in common?
They all knew they were sinners and longed for salvation.
Just as the second son later repented and obeyed his father, so these
These are the people who settled their deeds and turned back on their path.
This is when a sinner who lived in disobedience finally repented.
means that
Who can enter heaven?
I am not a person who says yes, yes, and then no, although at first
said no, but where those who later repented and turned back enter
is the word. Heaven tells us that only those who have repented can enter.
There is.
2. The second son is telling us what repentance is.
Repentance is turning from no! to yes!
Repentance is returning to one's place.
Repentance is getting back what was lost.
A very important doctrine of the Christian faith is this doctrine of repentance.
Repentance is when a person who lived according to his own thoughts turns back to the words of the Father. penitence
means to return to his son's position.
We may all be living out of place right now.
Repentance is when a husband returns to his position.
Repentance is when a wife returns to her place.
Repentance is when a believer obeys the Word and turns away.
Repentance is when those in charge stand upright in their positions.
Like the eldest son today, just say yes! Yes! How many Christians live
how? Chris says he will do it with his words, but lives his own thoughts with his actions.
How many fabrics are there? It's the prostitutes in that street, all kinds of evasion, illegal
It means that it is not just con artists like tax collectors who practiced this.
There is a form of singing a hymn, praying, and participating in good deeds, but inside
I don't know if it's me who doesn't live according to the word at all. this
is to repent right away. This will open the way ahead.
How many Christians are far from heaven like the Pharisees today? ensign
We who are called religious people, maybe those who are labeled as sinners.
They may all be further away from the kingdom of God. the harsh book of jesus
It's time to remember the mesh.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, like whitewashed tombs,
looks beautiful, but inside is full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness
All. In the same way, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but on the inside
It is full." "You brood of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell?" (Matt.
23:27, 33)
Therefore, we are told to bear fruit worthy of repentance.
3. The kingdom of heaven is not a place where self-proclaimed righteous people enter, but it tells us that repentant sinners enter.
I am saying
In today's society, it is a time when Christians need self-reflection.
Rather, street prostitutes are more likely to admit that they are sinners and repent, but hypocrites who claim to be righteous and today's church officials
They do not repent that they are the ones who desperately need to repent.
Then they fight and hate each other.
Even though they say they are brothers and sisters, they are jealous of each other.
We are trying to pursue this through the church under the guise of service.
They think and act more with respect to their position, status, and honor.
If the Pharisees, priests and scribes in the Lord's day were such people, oh
Who are the people who are always in that position?
We must repent deeply and repent.
As I greet the new year on the first day of this year, this year is a new year for our people.
As I hoped for a new year, I thought deeply about what my mistakes were.
Have I done anything against the Lord in this church? I thought about it. neck
It means that I have done self-reflection as a speaker.
Then, I drew a picture of the leaders of today's Korean church, including myself. Why
I thought about whether everyone likes gambit so much.
I was amazed to see them risk their lives.
In that respect, I am grateful for the grace that God gave me so that I did not fall into such a temptation.
thanked.
Everyone!
I'm sorry, but do you know that there is a separate seat for the general president in heaven?
how? He said, "He must have done the will of my Father."
If today's Korean Christians do not repent, the trumpet of God's wrath will sound.
Who knows if it will fly! With fear and trembling, we all return to our place
I have to go.
Although 'No!' He said that he has been acting in a way that goes against his father's will
Also, I hope I can turn back right away at this moment.
And do not quench the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so as to produce fruit worthy of repentance.
