Unsparing love / John 10:11-18
I would like to begin the sermon by introducing a story from England.
Joseph Scribe, known as an English saint, fell in love with a woman he met on the beach while attending seminary.
I've done it. But, unfortunately, the virgin fell ill and became weak,
will leave Because the person he loved before he even got married passed away
There is no way to heal the heartache of losing a loved one, so Scribe goes on a wandering path.
It's possible. But no matter where he went, he could not forget his pain, and there was no way to erase the wounds in his heart.
I did. One day, while traveling like that, Scribe was in front of the church, wearing torn clothes and getting injured.
You come across a beggar begging with your wife. The beggar was not only wounded,
Nira, exhausted, raised her hand that could barely move toward her, asking for help.
I did. However, Scribe is the beggar's favor because of the pain of losing his first love in his heart.
I stopped passing the cow. After this happened, the voice of the Lord in his heart
I heard it in the sound. “I shed blood for you, but what have you given for me?
The love you wanted to give to a woman like that, the love you wanted to give to that woman
Now, how about giving it to many people?" the Lord's voice was heard.
Finally, Scribe comes to his senses and returns home. When I got home, I saw my son who had left the house.
The long-awaited mother became ill. If you kneel to your mother and repent before God,
You will record the thoughts that come to your mind. The pain of losing a loved one...sick uh
Money's pitiful appearance.... Encouragement to leave all the cares and worries I encounter in my life to the Lord
was what made him a gem of a hymn. That's hymn 487
is.
Dear Central Family, I have a burden of my heart that I have carried over the past week.
Then, whether it be the burden of the body or the burden of the mind, lay it down before the Lord today and enjoy true rest.
May you learn from our Lord how to sing! Only Jesus can set us free and the gospel
It should be Lee's true rest. For that to happen, it is good to know the Lord as Lord.
should be The burden that the Lord bore is the cross. And the way of the cross is never easy or light
not the way. Yet our Lord...for my yoke is easy and my burden is light..."
you write
Let me ask you a question. “What is the meaning of the heavy and light load I am carrying?
Can I know?"
I took a week off last week and stayed at home without going anywhere. until last year
Even though a vacation is always a vacation away from home with the family,
I thought it was a mission. However, I thought that it was not always the case, so I stayed at home this year.
retreated. In my opinion, yes. Travel doesn't matter where you go, it's who you are
Whether you go or not is more important. Even if you go to the picturesque Swiss Jungfrau, you are with someone you don't like
I thought that going to a place is painful, and even if I go to a place with the right person, it is happiness.
I did.
Why am I saying this? Whether a load is light or heavy is not the weight of the load itself.
That is, it depends on the posture of the load. Do you think the cross I have to carry is heavy? week
Hope you learn your heart! Do you feel that this burden is not my burden?
May you have the meek and humble heart of our Jesus.
In today's text, John 10:11-18, we see all the wounds, diseases, and sins of life.
You can meet Jesus Christ, who can safely leave all the burdens you are carrying. woo
Lord Lee introduces himself as "I am the Good Shepherd." The Good Shepherd through today's sermon
I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will reaffirm the love of the Lord. the Lord to us
What kind of love is love?
1. It is the love that He gave by knowing His sheep.
The Bible says that a shepherd who knows the sheep is a good shepherd. Know who your sheep is and
To know pain and tears, to know weaknesses, to know what will happen in the future, and to love
It is the love of our risen Lord. The love our Lord loves us is the Father's
Based on that personal love that operates and communicates between God and the Son, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son.
I'm in second. The very personal person in which God knows Jesus and Jesus knows God.
It means that the Lord loves us. The love that the father knows the son, the son is the father
It's the love you know. In other words, faith is the ability to
It is the relationship between the Lord and the saints, the Father and the Son. Our Lord is our past
He knows us, He knows the present, He knows the future, He knows our weaknesses and shortcomings, He loves us.
is to wear it.
Our Lord knows our sins, our transgressions, and our shortcomings, and He does not hate us.
All! You are not far away! He's not even ashamed of us! as well as go further
He takes care of our weaknesses and weaknesses and purifies them so that they resemble His own holiness.
I bless you in the name of the Lord that you believe that the amazing love is the love of Jesus!
If I had to tell you the biggest characteristic of love that people give and receive, conditional love or selfish love.
Love. So the calculation always comes first. I think first whether it will be a profit or a loss...
Therefore, if a person thinks it will be beneficial to him, he will attack by any means and method, and will cause damage.
If it is possible, it is an existence that keeps away from parents or children. Selfish love is human love
Discriminating love is love for people.
But our Lord says to us, "I am the Good Shepherd." I know it will be damaged
The love that Jesus loves at the same time is the love that Jesus gives for us.
Everyone, I hope you become like the Good Shepherd, Jesus.
2. The love of the Lord is the love that lays down one's life for one's sheep.
The greatest characteristic of the love of the Good Shepherd is that he knows his sheep and lays down his life for them.
is love. This is the biggest difference between the Good Shepherd and the Wage Shepherd. "I have a good neck
Grow up" What kind of shepherd is the good shepherd?
A shepherd who lays down his life is a good shepherd.
Not long ago, while the church was going through a difficult task, a certain member of the church came to me and said,
After talking about things like that, you left. And even after a lot of time has passed, woo in my heart
Lee remembers a single word. It will probably be remembered for a long time. when i think
A kind of faith that came out of being mixed together in the believer's years of faith, experiences, words, and prayers.
It is thought to be a crystal. He opened his mouth. “Pastor, these days the members respect the pastors.
I don't do it." It means that the saints have changed and become tougher, and that ethics have fallen to the ground.
It sounded like Hearing those words, it seems like the right thing to say, and as a pastor, I am also saddened by myself.
It was a little comforting. But I didn't bring this up to say this, but what I really want to say.
Suddenly I felt my body warm up and my heart beat faster. dear saint
Guys! We will also have a new pastor soon. Trying to be like the Lord
I hope to see you pastor. Human condition, pretentiousness, trickery, and departing from essence.
Dear saints! Jesus love!...love giving!
Jesus love! what kind of love Not only does he know the condition and condition of his sheep,
It is a love that is generously given, holy love, that saved the lives of the sheep by running and giving up their lives.
3. The love of the Lord is the love of a father waiting for his son to return from home.
Our lives are the actions of a father who waited for his son to return from home and did what he did when he returned.
I think it's God's heart toward you. So, personally, I love the verse in Luke 17.
I love the story of the prodigal son. The son confesses to his father. "Father, I am Heaven and Father
I have sinned against you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son."
I haven't been there, but the father stopped his son and said, "It's okay! It's okay! I know it all... I
I know it all..." And then he would have hugged his son's neck and kissed him.
Through gestures, he must have felt a much stronger father's love than just forgiving with words.
is. One important point here is that the father didn't forgive his son because he returned.
The father had already forgiven everything and was waiting for his son to return.
All. So, even though the family is still far away, even if you don't know other people, you can quickly recognize the father.
that was there. This love is the Lord's love for us. God's love is our
It is a love that does not ask about mistakes, faults, mistakes, or the past.
Going one step further, the father restores his son's identity so that he can have a fresh start.
is. You wear the best clothes. I took off the clothes I was wearing when playing pigs and prepared a good one
that you put on clothes. Dear Central Family, Put off the old man and put on the new man
I bless you in the name of the Lord! And you put a ring finger in your hand and put shoes on your feet.
All. The ring symbolizes the covenant. It tells of the restoration of the relationship between the father and the son and the restoration of status.
There is. With sagging shoulders and weak steps due to the weary and tiring of living day by day,
Even though we have come before him, if we only entrust our existence to him, it will be dry and barren.
He will whisper to our hearts and caress our hearts. "You are now my son who has restored love"
I pray in the name of the Lord that you will hear this voice through today's worship!
Dear saints!
The same thing that happened to this returning prodigal son when we who were sinners came before God
Did you know that this also happens to us? We confess our sins and come before God on the cross
The moment the Father grabbed hold of Jesus Christ, who tore his own body, died and rose from the dead,
He removes the robe of sin and clothes us with new righteousness. And you are my eternal son
He puts the ring on as a symbol of promise. And finally, catch the fat calf and invite the neighbors
So let's open a feast. Our Lord, who is the Good Shepherd, loves this abundant and sufficient love,
It is a love towards
Like a tree that gives generously to the last thing, a love that generously gives even its own life.
I pray in the name of the Lord that you overcome the world with
