Title [Children's Sunday] Sermon Materials
Contents
A world without children, a society without children feels just like a desolate, windswept desert. It is good to have several generations, such as children, teenagers, adults, and grandfathers in one family. This is because this is the original blueprint of the family that God has given us.
No matter how wealthy or famous you may be, a house without children is a house without a future, a dying house. In fact, there are so many joys and lessons that children give us. God has done many spiritual things through young children. God who spoke to young Samuel despite having Eli who was the leader of an era, young Joseph, who was hated by his brothers because of his dream and gave a great challenge to all of us while living in a foreign country. The young David who received and was anointed with oil, the Lord who worked miracles with a simple and simple children's lunch box in the ministry...
With Children's Day in front of our eyes, we can understand a little why God used children with so many adults.
There is a saying that the fact that a child is still being born is proof that God has not yet given up on the world. Children are the hope and joy of parents.
Children are like flowers because flowers are beautiful. Likewise, children are truly beautiful. Flowers are being preserved just as they were created by God. You are beautiful without makeup or decorations in your own way. They don't try to put on makeup like adults do. They are cute and beautiful even if they don't wear fine clothes like adults.
When we look at flowers, we discover their true nature. In the same way, children are truthful. Flowers do not deceive people. Literally pure. Pure and clean. In the immaculate eyes of a child, you find truth and innocence.
The world of children is a world free of slander like the world of adults. It is a complex and troublesome world with a double structure that is different on the outside and inside while wearing a mask. We live in a beautiful and naive world that knows no popular tactics or fights for positions.
So it's always fun to be with young children. Because he is honest and naive. When you meet someone who is dishonest and dishonest, you lose your joy and you don't even want to talk openly. But an innocent child is a delight to meet.
Psalm 19:8 says, "The teachings of the LORD are upright and rejoice in the heart; the commandments of the LORD are pure and open the eyes."
The word of God makes our hearts happy because it is honest.
Not only that, just like flowers smell, children have a charm that attracts adults without knowing something.
Although the flowers are beautiful and pure, they do not last. However, it is disappointing because flowers have the potential to be fruits. Likewise, there is heaven in the heart of a child.
Verse 3 of today's text says, "Unless you turn and become like little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
H.F. A person named Amiel said, "Only among the children, we can glimpse the shadow of heaven on this earth. The lives of children belong to heaven."
Flowers are beautiful. But children are more beautiful than flowers. We can easily find purity in flowers. But you can find a clearer innocent look in a child. We can find heaven in little children.
As the poet Tagore said, "All children are born with the message that God is still not despairing of man."
Children are hope. Jesus saw in the children the message of hope for the kingdom of God, the possibility for the future.
The most beautiful and precious things in this world are children more beautiful than flowers.
Children are the heirs of life, the seed of hope, the lamp that illuminates tomorrow, and the only truth that a man and a woman achieve through love.
- Letter of May - Lee Hae-in
Like the trees in May dazzling under the sun
Today too, you blue children who are tall and have a big heart.
From the moment your name is called
Sowing seeds of hope in the field of our hearts
Tomorrow's blue poets who smile brightly
When you are happy, we are happy too.
When you are sad, we are sad too.
When you dream, we dream too
When you wander, we get lost too.
Sometimes, even when the world is resentful and adults hate it
Never throw yourself into darkness
Bright, wise, stand up strong
Be our young but strong guide
Let's work hard on our one-time life, our one-time youth
while there is still some time
Let's put a sky-blue spear in each other's hearts
Even in our hearts that love you
Deeper, greener, the grass of May is rising
do you know I really love you!
