Title Do you have anything to say?
Contents
15 After they had read the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent and inquired, saying, Brethren, if you have anything to exhort the people, say it.
16 Then Paul got up and beckoned, saying, Hear, men of Israel, and you who fear God.
17 This God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors, and exalted the people who were strangers in the land of Egypt, and brought them out with great power.
18 He endured their course about forty years in the wilderness.
19 He destroyed the seven tribes of the land of Canaan and gave it as an inheritance (about four hundred and fifty years).
20 After that he gave judges until Samuel the prophet
21 After that, they asked for a king, and God gave him Saul the son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin for forty years
22 He abolished him and made David king, and testified, saying, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, and he will do all my will.
23 From this man's seed a Savior was raised up for Israel, as God promised, Jesus.
Due to the unexpected results of the Winter Olympics, I look forward to it every day. It is fun to see that athletes in sports that have not been interested in the past are doing well, but watching them even win medals, you discover the joy that can only be felt in sports. Like a commentator who said that he did not want to hide his joy at the scene, the scene is always full of dynamism (dynamics) that is difficult to capture with just one thing. People judge only by the result, but what really matters is the hidden tears and sweat of the players who shed such a result.
◆ Someone who has something to say…
People who are not clear on what they are trying to say are complex people. But the one who has something to say is the one who is organized. If the priorities are clear and the reason and purpose are not clear, you have no choice but to spin around. Saying too many unnecessary words does not show that you have power. On the contrary, people with real power don't talk much. I can only say one very important word.
◆ Even a horse standing with beads…
It is said to be a treasure when beads stand and even a horse is threaded. No matter how many events you've experienced, if you don't stick to them, they're just broken events. However, if events that appear to be separate from each other can be threaded into a single meaning and purpose, it becomes a powerful message. The reason why Go masters can remember and recreate more than 200 stones is because there is nothing meaningless. What is it that can break our lives that are divided without meaning?
◆ Change the subject.
When people tell them to do something if they have something to say, Paul tells the story of salvation that God has done without hesitation. The subject of all his words was that none other than God. It was none other than God who chose, exalted, guided, endured, and gave the inheritance. The reason Paul's message had power was because it was to testify to the work of God, not the work of man. Try changing the subject. A new world opens up. History is still happening today.
