According to the word / Luke 1:34-38
In Luke 1:26-38, the angel Gabriel came to Mary, who was living in the town of Nazareth.
It consists of articles that predicted the birth of Jesus. Theologians claim this fact
It is also called (Annunciatio).
According to the angel's notice, Marie was pregnant with Jesus, and Luke said that the moon was full and she gave birth to a child.
This is the content of the article in Chapters 1-2 of the Gospel. There are lessons to be learned from the text.
1. The importance of grace.
In verse 28, it says, “Peace be with you, you who have been favored.” In verse 30, it says, “You are one.
I have found favor with you.”
The lesson of these two verses is that there is peace when we receive grace, and that grace comes from God.
is.
Every letter Paul wrote to the church began with grace and ended with grace.
It was. Because grace is so important.
Grace and peace are proportional.
When grace is great, peace is great, but when grace is gone, peace also departs.
When we receive grace, our soul and body are at peace, but when we do not receive grace, everything becomes entangled and unsettling.
do.
When we talk about the grace of God, we have to be careful about three things.
First, we must not fall from grace.
Galatians 5:4 says that there are "those who have been cut off from Christ and fallen from grace."
I did.
The fetus lives in the mother's womb for 10 months. Even in a dark, narrow and stuffy space,
Hold, breathe, move and live. Tied to the umbilical cord for 10 months
I can't choose and I can't move. The main thing is not to leave the womb until the moon is full
is that.
It may be an appropriate analogy, but if we forsake grace and turn away from the Lord, we die.
is that. Even if you feel frustrated and unfree like 10 months in your mother's womb, live in grace and in Jesus
To stay in my soul is to live.
Premature babies are treated, protected and raised in a machine room called an incubator. But
Preterm birth is also a problem. If you leave the womb too early, you will not be able to live. womb
After 10 months of knowing, they cut the umbilical cord and come out to a completely different second world. and the other three
Start your life on the line.
However, the Christian life has no way to go out into another world apart from Jesus. leave
Otherwise, misfortune and tragedy will only begin from that day.
Second, we must not abuse grace.
Jude 1:4 says, “The grace of God has been turned into lust for lust,
There are those who deny the Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
Even now, there are people who sell and use the name of Jesus. create a plausible organization
But behind the scenes, there are many people who want to make money by selling Jesus and take it.
is.
About 14 years ago, the daily newspapers in the market almost opened articles criticizing the church and its leaders.
It was reported as a series for about a day or so. As if the entire Korean church was rotten,
It was reported every day as if it were a hotbed of corruption and corruption.
Will the Korean church immediately set up a task force and launch a boycott of the newspaper?
If so, I asked for correction and apology. Then the president of the company said to the Christian representatives
There is this.
"Isn't Christianity a religion of love? Please understand and be tolerant."
It is grace, as Jude points out, to deliberately kill a person and speak of love and grace.
is to abuse
Talk about social justice and reform without even touching the problems and corruption of the media itself.
Talking about it can't be a nonsensical self-defense.
In the Old Testament, there is a system of cities of refuge. Unintentional murderer flees
And the system that receives fair judgment and protection there is the city-of-flight system. but intentionally
A person who has been convicted of murder with a place cannot escape and receive no protection.
To justify or rationalize sin under the guise of grace and love
It is abuse.
Third, we must not deny grace.
In Galatians 2:21 it says, “I do not take away the grace of God.”
All.
There were two currents in the church at the time of Paul. It is to be saved by doing the law.
There were two mountain ranges: legalism and salvation by the grace of God.
The legalists emphasized that there was no other way but the law because they ignored grace.
But Paul insisted that we are saved by faith and that we are saved by the grace of God.
I did. Paul's view of salvation is grace and faith. Don't throw it away or ignore it.
is emphasized everywhere.
In the text, the angel Gabriel sends Mary the message that those who receive grace will find peace.
are forwarding.
The harder the world is and the harder it is to live, the more we need to receive grace.
The culmination of grace is that God came into the world as a human being. and human
It is the crucifixion that died on the cross for our sins. We are at peace today because of that grace
is to live and enjoy.
2. The importance of the Word.
Verse 38 says, “According to your word it may be done to me.” In verse 45, it says, “Your word is half.
It will be done.” And in verse 55, “As it was said to our ancestors, Abraham and
to their children forever.”
The angel Gabriel came to the virgin Mary and said, "You will conceive and give birth to a son,
Say Jesus." Mary refused, saying, "How could this be?"
and went out. At that time, it was a shame for a virgin to have children, and it was a shame that a betrothed woman would have children.
It was because they had to be executed according to the norm of the law.
But then Mary replied, "According to your word it may be done to me." And
In verse 55, he confesses, “As he said to our ancestors. important meaning here
uh there
God had previously said through the prophets that He would send the Messiah for Israel.
I did. He is sending the baby Jesus into this world to fulfill that word.
That's right. Jesus came according to the prophecies of the Old Testament. It was done according to the word,

Christmas is a worldwide holiday. Communist countries such as Russia and China also have Christmas trees.

We took a break and celebrated Christmas.
However, at 11 pm on the 19th, MBC TV broadcast a program called PD Notebook in Seoul.
We made and aired a program that intensively criticized and criticized three megachurches. "large

There is no harm done, and there is a problem with budget management.”
All.
The Korean church, knowing this in advance, urgently formed a media countermeasure committee, and a Christian union organization.
Fields and leaders were involved. Representatives visited MBC broadcasting company and the Korean church was doing well in the meantime.
I frankly admit that there is something wrong, but on Christmas, the negative aspects of the church are featured.
It's not a good thing to deal with, so either stop the show or re-study the opportunity.
I asked you to do it.

He was tied to you by a thin umbilical cord and wrapped in a blanket. It was minus 10 degrees Celsius
However, the child was alive without any injuries.
He was rushed to the hospital to save the baby, but doctors did not cover the baby with a blanket.
If he had, he would have died before the rescue team arrived.
It's Christmas.
Let's take a blanket of love and go out into the streets. And let's be the cover.
Let's cover our faults, cover our wounds, cover our weaknesses.
Let us remember that the Lord came for that day.
