uniting beauty
1. In the past, when there were fewer believers than now, we were traveling or traveling abroad.
When I met people who believed in me, I had a feeling that somehow my heart was connected.
2. When a new church is established in an area where there was no church, that church is my church.
Rum was also happy.
3. But what about now? As the statistics show that 25% are Christians, believers
As there are too many, it seems that the same joy and brotherly love as before has disappeared.
It has now become a competitor.
4. Makes us feel like we are heading for a very tragic situation
It seems to be a reality that stems from the lack of standards.
5. But the Lord exhorts brothers to unite together to become one.
It is not a communist theory. It is a beautiful virtue that a Christian should possess.
I. Coalition is essential (1).
A. brother
1. People born to the same parents are called brothers. Adam and Eve and Cain
Abel was born. But they were not very good brothers. Cain killed his brother Abel.
because it was
2. Humanity's most successful brothers parted in the dreadful way of "murder".
So God gave "Set" instead of Abel.
3. Brothers produce other brothers. So there is a small number and a family.
Because their origin is one.
4. But Jesus gave a new challenge to the concept of brotherhood, who
All those who hear the words of Christ and follow them are called "one brother and sister."
it is the word
5. What is important is not just the brothers and sisters of flesh and blood. It is "in God"
are brothers and sisters of
6. Let's not forget that the Bible always takes precedence over spiritual relationships.
One brother and one sister in Christ.
B. Union
1. When the social structure was in the form of agriculture, most of them chose the extended family system.
In the case of Nara, about 30 years ago, there were some houses with 20 members.
and lived in a primitive form of union.
2. However, under the influence of rapid industrialization, the family became “nuclear family”.
Even among the brothers who serve their mother, they are separated from each other, so they turn into ignorant people.
it was
3. Coalition means that heterogeneous people form “one”. But today
The reality is that even brothers who share the same blood cannot achieve "union".
I have become accustomed to dividing for profit and purpose.
4. Then what about believers? Christians who should stay away from the winds of the world
It seems that I, too, implicitly follow the trend of this world. The most serious is sectarian division.
That is why some denominations have created dozens of denominations with the same name.
What is the reason for the division even though they have the same name? Whatever the reason, this
Could it be that the US objective validity is lost?
C. cohabitation
1. Brotherhood refers to a blood relationship. Brothers grew up in the same family when they were young.
However, as they grow up and start a family, they form their own families and become independent
However, there is no change in their brotherly relationship. Whether meeting once a year or meeting once in two years
There is no change in the relationship of the brothers. There is no problem in their union.
2. However, cohabitation is not simply a dimension of union. Living in one house. We
People who live in one house are called "family."
3. We must become brothers only in words, not in union only in words, but living in “one house”.
Saints should be in a relationship where they do not feel uncomfortable even if they live in the same house.
high priest
II. Unity is God's grace (2-3).
A. Union is like oil.
1. Oil is an important sacrifice used in sacrificial rites. The priest first sanctifies himself with oil.
It must be done. Leviticus 8:12 introduces this ritual.
2. There is no difference between Aaron the high priest and others.
It was just that he anointed them with oil to make them sanctified first. The oil ran down Aaron's head.
It flows down to the nameplate of the tribe. Through these rituals, they experience holiness.
will be.
3. Brothers living together is the ceremony that sanctifies Aaron.
In this verse, God does not focus on formal rituals, but rather the content.
that you care more about it.
4. If we really want to be sanctified, we will not be divided over and over but one.
You have to unite as a lover. And you have to become friends living in the same house.
B. Union is like dew.
1. Dew is moisture that falls on the ground overnight. In the Middle East, where rain is rare, the role of dew is
It is very precious because all plants are supplied with life through dew.
2. In particular, it is said that the amount of dew from Mount Hermon is large.
God has allowed a portion of the dew. This is the blessing of the Lord.
conclusion
1. God was pleased to see brothers united to become one and to live together.
It was said that doing so is sanctification.
2. We want to be sanctified, so we use various methods.
They are not zealous to find the meaning of this desire.
3. God promised blessings like the dew on Mount Hermon to the brothers living together.
C. This is the blessing of material.
April 4.6 is the month of patriotism. It mourns for those who died fighting for the country and people.
There are Memorial Day and National War Memorial Day. none of them are proud
5. More than 50 years have passed since the north and the south were divided.
On the other hand, one side is still facing poverty.
