Title Misunderstanding - Proof

20010311-11 p.m. Misunderstanding-proof <Luke 22:63-71>
Jesus' temptation is always like this. The same is true of the temptation in Matthew 4. The devil says: "If you are the Son of God..." He tells them to make bread with stones and eat it. Then you won't feel hungry and feel good, right? But Jesus is the true Son of God. So, "Look," and what happens when you make and eat rice cakes? you will lose the exam This is how Jesus' public life began, and when he finished his public life on the cross, he was also subjected to that kind of temptation. people say "Jump down from the cross, so that we won't believe that you are the real Christ? Why can't you save yourself while you heal and save others?" What the hell do I have to do? If you jump off the ground, God's will will not come true. Today, our members also have this injustice. But we know that this is not all. Because after the resurrection, this is no problem. After we pass the test, we too know that the problem that has bothered us so much is nothing.
Another thing is, it's a shame that it doesn't make sense. This appears at the end of the text. they say "Are you the real Christ? The very Christ who was anointed of God and will save us?" Of course, they meant more of a political salvation. Somehow, they already had an answer. It's not. Jesus answers this in verse 69. “But from now on the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the power of God.” This is not something that can be proven now. It's all a matter of later. See verse 70. "Everyone said to them, 'Are you the Son of God?' They answered, 'As you say, I am.' But the word "son of God" is unacceptable. That is nonsense. In fact, they didn't know this, right? Still, that's something their pride doesn't allow.
In fact, the lifestyle and circumstances that the world demands of us today are very similar. Doesn't the world want us to be prophets, like some shaman or fortune teller, to inform, benefit, or interest us? But we will have to play the role of true prophets who proclaim God's justice before this world. And, like Christ, we will have to live the separate lives of the anointed Christians, not the ones that politically save and benefit the world. And if the world calls us sons of God, children of God, even if they don't want to because they eventually become children of the world, and we can't prove it, the hope that "after this we will live with God in heaven" They are people who have to confess and live with. I hope that you will become a believer who imitates the Lord in this way.
