Title: The Unfathomable Economy of God
Contents
deep Riches of God's wisdom and knowledge, his judgments are beyond measure, and his ways are beyond finding. Who has known your heart? Who has been his counselor? Who will give first to the Lord and be repaid? For all things come from the Lord, and through him and to him return. Glory be to him forever. Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)
Humans live in a history dominated by time and space. We make history within history, and we live responsibly for the history we are entrusted with. Because man lives in time and space, it is only a semicircle in the circle of the entire history, including eternity and time. Therefore, everything we do in our lives, or all our lives, always ends at one end, leaving unexplained questions intact and wandering in a labyrinth. In other words, the ultimate in human history is always hidden in the mystery of mystery.
No matter how advanced modern science is, the veil of this mystery has not been lifted at all, and the mysterious history of being in this labyrinth is still unknown. A labyrinth of mystery remains unknown to prophets, scholars, and even angels.
Because the history we live in is only half a circle, life's problems are always absurd, and we cannot set the standard for absolute value judgment. Therefore, all life is woven with contradictions. When looking at this one thing, I think it is the correct understanding that Buddha Sakyamuni understood life as a life of suffering by listening to the thoughts of the dead and the dead.
Today, everyone says that they enjoy life, and they enjoy it to the fullest, but according to my experience, even if a human enjoys and lives his entire life without suffering even a single moment in the supreme mortal forest, the moment he crosses the hill of death, that Compared to the pain of time, I think all of this is nothing. The problem of human suffering is the problem of contradiction in human life. The ultimate problem of life's contradictions is the problem of death with unfathomable questions. Neighbor, society, country, but also parents, brothers and sisters, but mine, yours, but, in the face of death, utter loneliness, utter loneliness, utter despair, utter emptiness, and utter loneliness. is. Everything just goes off like a bubble. It is also a moment when you desperately experience the emptiness of life. All the achievements and possessions of human life, and all that the whole world and mankind have achieved, will be completely worthless at that moment.
The question of "why?", which is why people have to live so hard, remains a question that no one can answer. I think the reason here is clear why, in every case, at one end of human life is always in a labyrinth of contradictions and mysteries. This is because the history of our human life is only half of the circle of the whole history, and the map of destiny drawn in that semicircle is only a map drawn in the atlas of the entire history of the circle provided by God. Therefore, we can clearly see that all the maps and blueprints that have determined our human destiny are drawn completely as one, not only in this semicircle governed by time and space, but in one chapter of the whole destiny of the eternal God, and that this and that The fact is that the reality of human life's contradictions cannot be solved this way because it is not separate, but in one concept.
Therefore, when we realize this fact, we have no choice but to have the faith of obedience to silently accept the contradiction of human life, the ultimate contradiction of that contradiction, death, and this unsolvable riddle. Some would even call this life's suffering and death the price of sin. That's right too. Some might say that this is due to the lack of human wisdom. That's right too. Some would say that the reason for the lack of modern medicine development, the lack of ability of doctors, the lack of money, the lack of authority, and someone else's mistake. That's right too. Nevertheless, all of this is contradictory. Some will be so unfair that they will curse that there is not even a God. That's right too. It seems that God does not exist, and it seems that he is incompetent even if he exists. Nevertheless, faith is obedience to silently accept this contradiction as it is.
For His judgment is immeasurable, His ways are beyond our grasp, so that "who has known the thoughts of the Lord. Who has been his counselor? Who is the first to be repaid?" All things come from God, Because he already knew that it was done through him and returned to him. Therefore, even in the face of death, there is no choice but to sing praises, "O Lord God, to you alone be the glory forever and ever. A-men." When God tried to recognize that faith in humans, He tested whether Abraham and Jacob would accept this man's unsolvable contradiction as it is. Right or wrong, blessing or disaster, grace or curse, all value judgments cannot be made here. Whether right or wrong, blessing or disaster, grace or curse, we can only have the faith of obedience by silently accepting the contradictions as they are.
The fact that God, who drew the whole map of our human life, is a loving father who gave his only son even to death to save us humans and his children who believe and obey him, and that those who believe in him will have eternal life We know and believe that the fact that He is the one who promised the blessing of God has been revealed through our Lord.
We do not yet know for sure the form of our existence beyond death, the form of glory, the reality of life, and the composition of the world. But it is clear that all maps of our destiny will be complete only when they are linked to the other side, that there will be no contradictions, orderly, straight-forward, and all reasonable reasons become clear. And it is clear that we will definitely know and see the truth of God, who created all things in the universe and is in control of human destiny, according to his good will. And the one who drew these maps and blueprints of fate is fully aware that it was not that some mischievous prankster was trying to win over anyone, but that a loving father designed it perfectly for the best and best interests of his child.
I hope today that I can clearly understand the contradictions of this life that I cannot interpret, and why I have suffered so much. I don't know about other people's business, but at least with regard to my own destiny, I hope that you will be able to clearly understand why you made this process happen and for what purpose. "How can I know where I will find God? Then if I go before the throne and appeal to him, I will fill my mouth with blasphemous words, and I will know what he answers me, and I will understand what he says to me." (Job) 23:3-5). And even at that time, he said, ?쏰h! What a marvel, how wonderful is the depth and mystery of the riches, wisdom, and knowledge of God. All things come from God, and are accomplished through him, and ultimately go to him alone. I believe in saying, "Amen, to the Lord God, who is worthy of him, to give him the glory, praise, and honor for ever and ever. Amen."
Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head, and fell on his face to the ground and worshiped, saying, "I came out naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. "(Job 1:20-21).
