life
“For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
“The Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again” (John 10:17).
The Bible speaks of many deaths.
However, the Bible is not written for the purpose of death.
This book was written to give life to people who are bound to die.
The purpose of the Bible is resurrection and life. Because of this, our Christian thoughts and actions are in harmony with God's will when we aim to live.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Death is not the essence of Jesus.
Let's look at the following scripture again.
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness. By His wounds you were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
Jesus' ministry is also said to be to give life to humans.
In the Bible, life is called 'zoe'.
This is a life that lasts, not a life that comes and goes temporarily.
“This is so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life” (John 3:15).
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son will not see eternal life, but the wrath of God remains on him” (John 3:36).
“Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3).
The gospel must be eternal.
“Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (John 6:53).
“He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:54).
If you eat the flesh and blood of Jesus, you will resemble the life and character of Jesus.
God's will is to say that if we become the possessors of life by eating and drinking the flesh and blood of Jesus, we can control our lives.
“Therefore, do not be anxious and say, ‘What shall I eat, or what shall I drink, or what shall I wear?
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:31-33).
Man's supreme desire is to eat, drink and wear.
① Eating and drinking are the first steps of instinct.
In John 6:54, Jesus said to eat my flesh and drink my blood.
It is an instinctive desire for Jesus. Those who receive and eat this food will have eternal life. is to have life forever.
Drinking the blood of Jesus is what God needs us on a level,
Eternal life is satisfied.
② For people, what to wear is an important concern.
People wear different clothes according to fashion.
If you don't follow the fashion, you're classified as a villager.
But Jesus! He doesn't change forever.
When God sees us, we are most beautiful when we walk around dressed in Jesus.
Jesus is telling us to wear clothes that are at the level of going to heaven.
He is telling us to clothe ourselves with life.
God does not look at my sins, but the blood of Jesus in me.
So Jesus came to forgive us with his own blood. After He shed His blood on the cross, He tells us to drink His blood.
The blood of Jesus is the level at which humans can reach God.
the blood is in me,
That fleshy body is in my body. To believe this is faith.
What we eat, drink and wear is important to us.
But what is needed first is the flesh and blood of Jesus. I need the flesh, blood, and life of Jesus first.
The blood of Jesus is what must exist before the prosperity of the world.
The blood of Jesus is my life.
It puts me on the level of God.
We should be thankful that the flesh and blood of Jesus are with us.
It is human nature to eat and drink. God is telling humans to eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus just as he wants to eat and drink by instinct.
It is instinctively to possess Jesus. Let the flesh and blood of Jesus rule over me. If you experience the blood of Jesus, you will be victorious.
The level of God who cares about life before material things, so Jesus is life, and Jesus is life because he is in me.
Life begins because of the blood of Jesus, life works because of the blood of Jesus, and we have eternal life because of the blood of Jesus.
