Title: You Are Saved (Luke 04:1-21)
Contents What is the purpose of Jesus' coming? Today, many people seem to be mistaken about that purpose. How are you mistaken? Let's take a look at the scene where Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit and tempted by the devil. The purpose of the devil's temptation is to test whether Jesus has clear convictions about the purpose of his coming to this earth.
The first test is, "Let the stones become loaves of bread." That is, what is more important to a person than to eat? Isn't this the greatest thing you can do to people on this earth? Isn't that what everyone is expecting? isn't it! Isn't feeding them a priority? Hurry, make bread from these stones, and feed yourself and those who are hungry that is. In fact, Jesus himself fasted for 40 days, so he could understand his hunger better than anyone else, and how many people were hungry at that time.
It's time for a slice of bread and a spoonful of rice. In such a case, when Jesus makes bread with stones, the urgent problem can be easily solved. But Jesus did not make it. Why is it because I don't have the ability to make it? No. Jesus had the power to perform the miracle of feeding five thousand people with five diseases. He is the God who made the heavens and the earth with the word. You can make anything you want, you can make more than that, and you can make bread that tastes better than the famous bakeries. Then why didn't he make bread that is so desperately needed by you and so many people because that was not the purpose of Jesus' coming, there was something more desperately needed, and he came to solve it.
Then, what is more urgent than the problem of eating? Take the second test.
The devil will show you the power and glory of all the kingdoms under the heavens, and he will give you all these things, so bow down to me.
said.
Then, what do people need more than to enjoy power and glory? Take the third test.
The most desperate and urgent thing for man is not to eat, to enjoy power and glory, to know Jesus as the Son of God and to follow him, to become the best, but only to believe in Jesus, to be freed from sin, death, and Satan's oppression. is.
This is also the purpose of our faith in Jesus. It is not the purpose of believing in Jesus to eat well, to enjoy power, to be glorified, and to be the best. Those who set their goals here will lose their faith. How is it that Christ is not the master of life, but the instrument of life? Those who follow the devil's intentions. It was the 12 disciples of Jesus. Later, though, I calmed down.
Perhaps the purpose of believing in Jesus is to be set free from all shackles, but the purpose of those who have already been saved by believing in Jesus is to eat well and to gain power and glory. If there is no such thing, is there any need to work hard? I must have been saved. I deserve to go to heaven. It can be said that there is no need to work hard if what we do fervent service, devotion, and prayer is not for such a blessing.
But not. Many Christians fall into this trap.
Christians who fall into this trap are asking Jesus. Jesus! Now that we believe in Jesus, make bread out of stones! So let us eat to the full. There is no truth to what the devil says! If your disciples are starving, your face is not worth it! If Jesus doesn't make it, we will make it ourselves. At the same time, you and you both are busy making bread for Christians. I'm crazy about making bread. We don't just create, we build and build.
The president of a company called 'Proctor Gamble' in the United States recently appeared on a talk show hosted by Fildonahue and talked about the Satanism that the company supports.
The moderator asked the president of Procter Gamble, who said, "A large portion of our profits are being used to support Satanism." "If you make such a remark, will there be a disadvantage to the company?" Procter Gamble, president of Procter Gamble, dismissed it. I did.
The company has also entered Korea and is working under the name of P&G, and it is said that there are baby diaper Pampers/Cutie, soap ivory, shampoo Vidal Sassoon/Pantine, snack Pringles, toilet paper Codi, and deodorant Febrezed.
I ask Jesus again, Jesus! Give us power and glory from the devil.
How hard is it to crouch once? It's simpler and easier than being crucified! If Jesus doesn't do it, we do it! In doing so, Christians are doing everything they can to gain power and glory. Crouching down to an unbeliever is insignificant. If you pay bribes, tremble, get power and glory, you can skip worship at any time, and you can go to church! You can blow it up any way you like.
Not only that. Jumping from the high top, I am the Son of God. I am a child of God. i am the best How many people go around saying, ?쏻hat powers and miracles are performed, and it is the power of God. Who is greater than me! Don't be shy! It doesn't matter to do Where is God? Even Jesus doesn't know, but we jump down and tremble with all kinds of arrogance. If they want to be disadvantaged, they go and destroy it, create a mess, make Jesus very cheap, reduce God to a very poor person, and make Christianity a very poor, low-level religion.
Everyone, Jesus came to save us from our sins. He came to pass from death to life. Because of him, we are saved from sin, become children of God, and passed from death to life. Today is the day he came to this earth. The day of the birth of holy Jesus. It doesn't matter if you don't have a mouse in your hand. Because I'm saved! It doesn't matter if you don't have power or glory. Because I'm saved! Because I got eternal life! Because I am a child of God! Hallelujah!
