Title shameful resume
Contents
The Book of Judges is a book that records the biographies of 13 judges.
Today, the main character, Ipsan, only has records of his life that he sent 30 sons and 30 daughters to a foreigner as married couples during his seven-year tenure as a judge.
Given that he is a citizen and home Australia, his biography would not be shameful. However, if he married 60 children during the seven years of his tenure as a judge with great responsibility to protect Israel and govern the people, he would have married once every 40 days on average. Since time, manpower, and financial resources were wasted in such a place, when would he have had time to work for the country?
There is a difference between incompetence and betrayal. I want to try it, but I can't because I don't have the original ability. However, it is not without ability, but if you use it for the wrong thing and neglect your original responsibility, it is a breach of trust. Incompetence is not something to be ashamed of conscientiously, but it is something to be ashamed of for betrayal.
There are many people in the world who want to do something but cannot because they have no money, no education, no opportunities. On the other hand, there are people who do a lot of good deeds without having the money, the position, or the ability. Joseph, who was a prisoner, but who helped a fellow prisoner, and David who defeated Goliath without being a soldier. However, a person who is healthier than others, has learned a lot, is rich, has many talents, has a lot of business, and has a high position.
Ibsan is such a person in today's text. He also had the authority to move forward. There were a lot of human resources and a lot of material resources. And there was also the opportunity of six years. Yet nothing has been done.
It is shameful if there is nothing you have done compared to the position you have been given, you have received many graces, but there is no reward given to God, and if you have no achievements compared to your abilities.
As John 12:11 says that Lazarus was sick, but many Jews believed in Jesus because of Lazarus, we must live an influential life so that more people believe in Jesus because of me.
