Title John 01:14 Mirror Effect
Contents John 1:14 / Mirror Effect
When men and women truly love each other, there is a clear change in each other. That is, they implicitly resemble each other. It's like looking into each other's mirrors. This is because a man looks at the mirror called a woman and resembles her, and a woman looks at the mirror called a man and tries to resemble him. This is because, instead of looking in the mirror and trying to fix the person in the mirror, they try to fix the person standing in front of the mirror.
That's why the taste is the same even if you eat it with rice often. If you spend a lot of time talking about your feelings openly, your thoughts will be similar, and if you laugh and cry together and cry together, the facial muscles and wrinkles of two people will become similar. So the couple is supposed to be alike. Therefore, the fact that the couple has no resemblance even though they have lived for a long time may be evidence that the other laughed when one cried. It may mean that they eat less at the same table and have too little time to exchange hearts and converse.
Therefore, true love is “to become that person at some point”. Emphasizing “be like me” is not love. Being ‘like that’ is love. Why are we moved by God's love? Because he loved humans so much that he became ‘just like me’.
This is because he did not just say, “I love you,” from a distant place in the sky, but came down to this low place in a body like us, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He showed us the evidence that he loved us by ‘becoming like us’.
The Creator became a creature, and even though the wide universe was his dwelling place, he made a narrow and narrow man his dwelling place. Even that was not enough, he loved me, a sinner, and became a sinner himself.
Again, the proof of true love is 'how I am'. Just as the Englishman Livingston loved Africa so much that he became like an African, just as the American missionary Eugene Bell loved Koreans so much that he changed his name to a Korean name and became a Jeolla native who speaks better than Koreans, if you truly love someone It should be like that. Because love doesn't change other people like me or make them who I am, but it changes me and I become what I am.
So, how much do you love God?
How long have you believed in him?
The evidence of the size and depth of faith can only be shown to the extent that I resemble the Lord. So take this time to see how God-like your personality is. Look into how much the image and likeness of God are melted into you. Only then are you a person who loves God. Otherwise, you may say, “I will never know you” (Matthew 7:23).
“The subject of all my wishes and prayers is that I want to be like Jesus. The image of Jesus, for me to wear, you spare the world's treasures... “This must be included in your prayers to love God.
