Title: The Judge is Standing at the Door
Contents
Therefore, brethren, be patient until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with the way, waiting for the early and the latter rain. The coming of the Lord is near. Brethren, do not grumble against one another. Only then will you escape judgment. Purple. The Judge is standing outside the door. Brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as examples of suffering and long-suffering. Purple. We say blessed are those who persevere. You have heard of Job's patience and have seen the end of the Lord, but the Lord is the most merciful and merciful. (James 5:7-11)
First, what did you plant? There is no effect without a cause. If tares are planted, tares will come forth; if thistles are planted, thorns will grow. All the fruits of social evil that we are reaping socially today have deep roots. Corruption of bureaucrats goes back five hundred years of history, and in modern times, the bureaucracy of the Japanese aggressors is deeply rooted in it, and even though it is easy to say, it is never completely eradicated. Dr. Syngman Rhee lived and learned 40 years in America in the midst of a democratic society, and his politics were the same as those of the feudal dynasty in the past. It reaps the fruit because his individual had such roots and seeds sown before the age of 30. Those who have learned from militarism in the past do the same. So the military coup d' tats around the world were almost always caused by those trained in militarism during World War II.
One psychologist once said that a human cannot properly motivate his entire life unless he knows how he grew up until under the age of 13. It has been said that a human lifetime cannot escape what he planted under the age of 13. If the people of that country have a tendency to respect the soldiers, they will always be caught in the hands of the soldiers, and if they only worship money, they will become slaves to money at some point. Indeed, whether to plant good seeds or bad seeds is the big question. The late Pio 12 once said that if all children in the world were entrusted to our church at least once until they were 7 years old, the world would surely change at some point. If we planted in the past year, what kind of seeds can we say we have planted? Did you plant good seeds or bad seeds? Have you ever planted nothing and wasted land?
I am grateful for the completion of the second church in Changgok by the Goddess Society this year. However, I am well aware of how much prayer, sweat, and sacrifice of those who have not been revealed are buried there. The Judge enters through the door and wants to see what our persistent loyalty has been and what our efforts have been.
