Title Serving! the heart of jesus
Contents
Text: Matthew 20:28
Last week, I attended the Clergy's Clergy on the Mount and prayed at dawn on Tuesday. The Holy Spirit moved me strongly and moved me. I thought, 'Jesus served, but what will I look like when I see Jesus? As I repented and prayed fervently, my throat was completely locked. And with the desire for all of us to be servants like Jesus, “Serve! It is the heart of Jesus.” was the title of the sermon.
“Have this mind in you, which was also in Jesus Christ, who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God to be robbery, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human form, and being found in human form, He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Philippians 2:5-8)”, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many (Matthew 2:5-8). 20:28).” This is what Jesus Christ looks like, and we who believe in and follow Jesus Christ can become perfect Christians when we serve others, especially believers in faith.
Among the 12 disciples chosen by Jesus, James and John were brothers. Their mother asks Jesus. 'In your kingdom, sit my two children, one on the right and the other on the left.' When the other disciples heard this, they were angry with the two brothers, but Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be great among you must be a servant." .” he says. You must be a servant.
Let's talk about the Korean church. According to statistics released by the National Statistical Office, the number of religious people in Korea increased by 10.5% over the past 10 years, from 22.6 million to 25 million. In 10 years, the number of Catholics increased by 74.4% from 2.95 million to 5.15 million, and the number of Buddhists increased by 3.9% from 13.32 million to 17.2 million. On the other hand, it can be seen that the number of Protestants decreased by 1.6% from 8.76 million to 8.62 million.
Recently, when a famous Buddhist monk made an organ donation, it was reported as if all Buddhists did. However, among religious people, the number of organ donors was 2,500 for Buddhism, 2,800 for Catholics, and 23,500 for Protestants, 10 times more than Protestant religions compared to other religions. There are as many facilities for the disabled as Won Buddhism - 1, Adventism - 1, Catholicism - None, Protestantism - 95. In private schools, only 84% are Protestant, 15% Catholic, and 15% Buddhist.
Unlike other religions, Protestants do good deeds without revealing them, as the saying goes, 'Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.' In addition, other religions made good use of their religious pluralism and planted a good image in the world of unbelievers. However, our Christianity cannot become one with the idolatrous religion. Salvation is only through Jesus Christ.
Therefore, we Christians must more and more evangelize with the power of the Holy Spirit and overcome the spiritual battle. Please pray hard. It does not end with evangelism, but we must serve and take care of it. According to statistics, only 15% of those who are evangelized are settled.
When you care for and serve those who have less faith than you, you will eventually become a mature Christian.
We must care for and serve like a mother and like Jesus.
Two things to note here
First, let's not take sides.
This is futile and has no reward. You have to make Jesus.
Second, let's not ask too much about family and private life. Until you tell me, please take care, serve, and care. Please serve and take care. It is like a mother who gives birth to a child and throws it out in front of someone else's door to evangelize and register, but not take care of it or serve it. We must take care of ourselves and serve until our faith grows so that we can serve and take care of others ourselves.
Let's confess together before the Lord. “I will serve and live all my life!”
