Jesus' rules of life
(Mark 1:35-39)
My father, who was an elementary school teacher, made sure to keep a diary and checked the diary. The life of a rural student is monotonous.
Sunny Sunday, August 1, Cloudy Monday, August 2
I woke up at 6 this morning. I washed my face, ate, studied, played and slept.
I didn't want to write a repeating diary, so I wrote 10 days in advance, but was caught and beaten. (…) My father had to write down my thoughts, but he was dissatisfied that my thoughts were not included.
I think modern life is like this. In such a monotonous life, I thought less and only moved my hands and feet. What the Lord wants is the essential anxieties to ponder for one's life, as the Father asked of me.
The weather is getting hotter and people who pray in the morning are having a hard time. But the morning prayer was not made by me. Jesus started (…) Jesus met God at dawn before starting all the work of the day, and no matter what happened, he met God first. This is Jesus' prayer and spiritual heritage.
Above all else, it is important to have fellowship with God first. Prayer is the act of meeting my spirit with God. A Christian is a person who prays, that is, a person who meets God. (…) Do not pretend to be busy by reducing your prayer time. There are three types of medicine: preventive medicine, therapeutic medicine, and restorative medicine. Prayer is a preventive medicine.(…) I want to discover the principles of life of Jesus by seeing the Lord praying in the early morning, all night, in the wilderness, and in front of those who weep because of sickness.
① The Lord made his goal clear. (Prayer that leads the goal)
The purpose was clear. “For this purpose I have come.”(…) All actions were done completely according to God’s will and with the sole purpose of saving souls.(…) When dealing with people with a warm gaze (soul salvation), if you are evangelized or work in the world , a book from that perspective could become a bestseller.
② I saw the spirit and the body as one.
As in Genesis 2:7, Jesus saw the spirit and the body as one. When He healed all diseases, He did not forget the meaning of purifying the spirit. Even when dealing with the poor, He spoke of eternal living water to those who were thirsty first.(…) Life is life when the heart of the Lord and our hearts share love and devotion.
③ He thought of heaven and earth together.
The Lord has done the will of heaven on earth. God has communicated His will to us, took on our sins and saved us. The Lord longed for God's will to be done on this earth. Our task in these changing times is to focus our attention on this so that God's will can be done on this earth with the Lord.
A Christian should show interest and warm eyes to strangers. When you look at people you don't know with warm eyes and treat the world with a warm heart, I pray that you will come to know God's will and follow the principles of Jesus' life by giving the time of dawn. Amen
