Title The Comforter (Isaiah 51:12-16)
Contents
One who comforts (Isaiah 51:12-16)
How far will the world go? - A knife-wielding incident in a Japanese elementary school - 9 killed, 10 seriously injured
A world that has forgotten God is bound to become a den of the devil.
Why have you forgotten the LORD your Maker?
Text - God is enlightening the Israelites through the prophet Isaiah, who are gradually becoming rebellious, indolent, hatching, debauchery, extravagant, importing evil spirits, worshiping idols, and moving away from God. “Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten the LORD of hosts who comforted you and made you?” I believe that this God's call to the perishing Israel to return to God will echo deep in the hearts of you and me, who are tired of the world, compromise with the world, and become indolent before God.
You must not forget God.
1. God is a comforter.
Isaiah 51:12 He said, I am the one who comforts you; but what kind of a person are you, afraid of the man who will die, and of the Son of man who will become like grass?
Nayeonnaenanyeoneul - Emphasis on the bitter heart that is repeated with a sad heart.
Jesus also mourned and lamented the destruction of Jerusalem.
Luke 13:34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times have I sought to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were not willing.
000 ah! 000 ah! I am the one who comforts you, but why are you clinging to the world, worrying about things that will perish, feeling sorry for you, getting angry, getting angry, and neglecting you without relying on me?
What kind of person are you that makes me sad? Let's listen to the voice of God who wants to save us even by generously giving up his only begotten Son. - What kind of person are you, that you hear my voice and do not turn away?
what kind of person am i At home……………………………………………………………………………………………… ... to my children?
What kind of existence am I to my husband (wife)? To my friends... To my neighbors... Who am I? Am I smelling of Jesus?
And what kind of existence am I in the presence of God? Like a prodigal son who left home, he forgot God and lost his soul in the winds of the world, didn't he?
♬ Like the prodigal son...
♬ 1. Even when I was wandering like the prodigal son, the gentle voice of the Lord, who eagerly waited for me, melted my heart
Oh Lord, I am going now, accept me, and now I offer this body only for you.
2. Like the disobedient Jonah, as I wandered, the warm hand of the Lord took my hand.
Oh Lord, I am going now, accept me, and now I will lay down my life for you only.
3. To me, who was wandering like that lustful Gomer, your kind forgiveness melted my heart.
Oh Lord, I am going now, accept me, and now I will be faithful to you to death only for you.
Don't be afraid of the dead - don't forget the immortal God - know the real thing
Do not be afraid of the Son of Man who will become like grass. - Grass is the weakest thing, nothing. - Demons, devils, powers, money.
The Lord is the only true Comforter.
(Matthew 11:28-30) Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden. It is said that light is light.
2. He is the one who made you.
Why have you forgotten the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, and formed you?
Make your affiliation clear. - An incident where a soldier who escaped to the Imjin River in the thick fog got confused on the way and returned to South Korea and shouted for long live Kim Il-sung.
An object that has lost its owner becomes the giver after a certain period of time. If anyone has it, it is the owner. Human beings who have lost the God who made them are not sure of their affiliation and are swallowed up by the mouth of Satan, who is trying to eat us like a roaring lion. Where do we belong? Am I not a spiritual lost child who forgets the God who made me and wanders in the wrong place? So, isn't the Lord calling? “Why have you forgotten me? Why are you going the wrong way? ”
Our master is not the world's money, fame, power, wealth, or glory. only God Let's find our affiliation clearly and stand right there. In such a case, the Lord of hosts, the God who is our Lord, shows great favor. God asserts certain ownership. “I am the LORD your God.”
♬The LORD your God is in your midst, the Almighty Almighty who will save you.
He will not rejoice over you; he will quietly love you; he will rejoice over you with rejoicing and singing.
3. God's Grace to Us
1) Release the bound prisoners - to set them free from the bondage of atrocities, from the chains of sin, from the power of death, and from the machinations of the devil.
2) He promises eternal life. - He will not kill (14)
3) He saves us from all kinds of difficulties - I will not go down to the pit (14)- When I come before the Lord of hosts, no matter how difficult it is, I will not go down to the bottom. Rest assured.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to you, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
4. He grants the grace of covering with the shadow of his hand.
If you cover a chick with a rip-off saying it will block the sunlight, it will suffocate and die quickly. A cool shade should be provided. The shade blocks the sun for sure without leaving any corners. It is able to block the sun without any sense at all.
This is how God intends to give us grace. It is a promise that God will give you the grace of helping, interfering with, and solving even the smallest things, even the smallest details, in the secret that you do not even feel.
Lord, grant us a shade like grace.
