Today's graduation celebration service is a bit difficult for me. I know about ‘graduation celebration’, but it feels a little heavy to me because ‘worship’ is attached to it.
“Graduation is the beginning, not the end. Go with hope And congratulations.' There's not much else to say other than these clich s. So I don't know how much it has to do with the graduation service, but I'd like to share my thoughts on the 'World School' that I had in peace.
The biggest school in the world is the world we live in. Created by God and run by God, this school has never been closed or closed for a single day since opening. Education has never stopped for a moment, and classes are continuing even at this moment. Therefore, anyone who wants to take a class anytime, anywhere can listen to God's lecture.
All things in this world are textbooks created by God, and sometimes we ourselves learn and teach each other as textbooks.
All of these textbooks are also moving without stopping for a moment to convey the teachings of the founder of this school. Living things grow and change, and this chair in which we sit is now subtly changing from new to old.
From tiny insects in the ground to the stars in the universe, God's textbooks are moving for our classes while being influenced by each other in exquisite detail.
Some people say that this is the appearance of the teacher while watching the textbooks move in such a sophisticated way.
God has especially accepted man as a student among many living things in this world. There are no conditions for admission. Religion, social status, rich or poor, knowledge of the Bible, etc. do not matter. Rather, it welcomes the poor, the sick, or the disabled. This is the biggest characteristic of this school.
This huge school with boarding facilities is a free educational institution with automatic admission from birth. To this end, God equips a child with a communication code that allows them to listen to God's lessons deep inside their body even before they are born.
When the textbook says that man was created in the image of God, it is said that he made it possible to communicate with God. Also, by being given this code, students can not only listen to God's lecture directly, but also have the ability to study by themselves by looking at the textbooks of the world.
It is said that it is because of this shared code that when you are young, you do not know much, but when you grow up, you accidentally hear the secret voice of the teacher and are moved. Unfortunately, there are people who graduate from this school without knowing that they have this secret built-in code for the rest of their lives, while others mistakenly believe that they are listening to God's lessons while communicating with the wrong place. Usually, these people tend to gossip about attending God's lessons more diligently.
If you don't do well in class, you won't get good grades. I know that many students at this school are forcibly assigned to heaven and hell after graduation based on their graduation grades. But I'm still not very good at it.
Originally, when God established the school, it is said that he prepared a full scholarship system in which all students are paid even their living expenses. And the classes are not God's indoctrinated education, but self-study.
However, as the first students, Eve and Adam, abused their autonomy and broke the school rules, the school rules were changed so that they could not attend school unless they worked on campus as a punishment. It's been so long since the current students have forgotten everything and take it for granted that they go to school while working.
Another characteristic of this world's school is that the founder teacher does not appear. This gigantic school has been around for a very long time, but no one has clearly seen the teacher. Sometimes, there are people who have seen the teacher in a dream or a fantasy, but there is no way to know if it really saw the teacher.
Although the teacher said that we were made in the image of the teacher, we cannot conclude that the teacher looks like us because it is a matter of the spirit and not the image of the body.
Moreover, the teacher doesn't even have a specific name. Therefore, it is difficult to picture the teacher through the name.
And some say that you are in heaven, some say that you are by our side, and some say that you are in our hearts.
Even though the teacher is invisible like this, it is certain that he is with us. Because in this world school, if we want to learn, the teacher will come to us anytime, anywhere.
In fact, no matter how wide our eyes are, what we can see with our naked eyes is only a point in the world. If there is a cross that is clearly visible, it will be nothing more than a piece of fresh wood. Likewise, if there is a clearly visible image of God, it is probably an idol.
It is said that as you continue to learn at this school, you will gradually see what your eyes cannot see. It is said to open the eyes of the spirit, and students will see the teacher with these eyes. For this purpose, you can see that people especially build a church in the school and gather their hearts there.
Often in this world school, the teacher does not appear in person and acts like the teacher in this school and invites people to come. But these people are bound to get caught in the end. Because students cannot have the founder's ability to run this huge world school seamlessly in the first place.
The founder, who loved the world school, finally sent the greatest teaching assistant in human history to this land 2000 years ago to answer our questions and to save us.
In the meantime, great prophets like Moses, who listened closely to the guidance of the founder teacher and passed it on to other students, were only students. However, this young man named Jesus was an unprecedented teaching assistant sent by the will of the school's founder. The appointment of a teaching assistant who is the founder's son and an alter ego was promised by the founder, and the students had been waiting for a long time.
Teacher Jesus declared that he would create a school in which the founder's educational philosophy was fully realized instead of the order of violence and hypocrisy prevailing in the school due to the abuse of self-education at that time. It was not a visible straightness. He said that he would not care what the outcome might be as long as he loved his students and was for them.
He first loved the bullying that students were reluctant to. He loved the ungodly whores, he loved the dirty lepers. He loved the mean publican, he loved the marginalized widow. These were people who were not treated like people before they were students.
He stood above them and did not teach. And he didn't teach in an overbearing voice. To distinguish them from them, they wore special uniforms and were not taught. He was at their eye level. They conversed in comfortable language and taught by eating together what they ate. He healed and cast out demons
