Title For the perfect life of saints4
Content For the perfect life of the saints4 (Mark 5:25-34)
Anyone who believes in Jesus will be saved. However, that belief is unfounded. Good faith Bad faith, strong faith Weak faith, mature faith Faith like a child... Just as parents worry when a child is born and does not grow, the Holy Spirit groans if our faith does not grow. How far should our faith grow? The ultimate goal is to imitate the perfection of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:14-15). Jesus is still waiting for our faith to grow day by day. In 2011, we wish the members of Seomun Church to grow spiritually.
In the Old Testament times, everyone who entered the temple was saved. However, many people entered the temple, but not everyone entered the sanctuary or the most holy place. Very few entered the sanctuary or the Most Holy. We all pray, sing, and worship, but the prayers, hymns, and worship in the temple courtyard, sanctuary, and most holy place are different. Let us all pray, sing, and worship in the Holy of Holies. Let our church become the most holy church. How to enter the sanctuary? Only those who are filled with the Holy Spirit can enter the sanctuary. How can I enter the Most Holy? You can enter the sanctuary through the blood and name of Jesus Christ. We pray that the members of the Presbyterian Church will become mature Christians who pass through the blood of Jesus Christ and enter the Holy of Holies through the filling of the Holy Spirit.
Today, two kinds of Christians are sitting together and worshiping. Even though they come to the temple to worship, there are those who come back after meeting God spiritually (access) and those who return to experience God physically as well as meet God spiritually (contact). I bless you in the name of Jesus that you not only meet God, but also come into contact with him and die.
In today's text, there is a woman who suffered from hemorrhage for 12 years. This woman was an unclean woman, so she couldn't confidently go past the crowds and come out before Jesus, but she came and touched Jesus. However, the important thing is that this woman was not the only one who came to Jesus, but “one” among the many who came to hear the news of Jesus, but only this woman had the healing work. When this woman touched the hem of Jesus' robe, it did not end with her approaching Jesus, but an event of contact. Today, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will become a blessed woman who came back after hearing the rumors of Jesus, and not just one of the crowds who stopped approaching and returned, but resolved their problems by touching Jesus.
There is one thing that must be pointed out here. Don't be fooled into thinking that there will be no problems in our lives if we meet Jesus. There is no such promise anywhere in the Bible. The Bible promises that when you meet God, He will be with you in the midst of problems and will give you strength and faith to overcome. What are the problems that you are afraid of today, the problems that keep you from approaching God? Nothing can stop us from God's love (Romans 8:33-39). If you have boldly tried and approached with faith, please contact us.
At that time, many people encountered Jesus, but why couldn't he be the hero of the miracle? This is because impurities were caught and “contact failure” occurred. If you wash them with the prayer of repentance of tears and wipe them with the oil of the Holy Spirit, they become contact. Also, the woman who had suffered from a blood clot for twelve years was able to contact Jesus because she had the conviction that He would heal her, a earnest wish, the courage to act, and the passionate faith. If you have the same confidence and sorrow as this woman today, touch the hem of the Lord's robe. In the name of Jesus, I pray that you will become the protagonist of a miracle by reaching out and holding the hem of Jesus' robe like this woman, not just coming to church and attending the worship service.
