100110 Shepherd Teacher's Blessing
Lesson 2 Spiritual Blessing (2)
(1 Corinthians 12:1) Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant of spiritual things.
(1 Corinthians 12:2) You know that when you were Gentiles, you were carried away as you were led to speechless idols.
(1 Corinthians 12:3) Therefore I make it known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 12:4) There are various gifts, but the same Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 12:5) There are many offices, but the same Lord.
(1 Corinthians 12:6) And although there are different works, it is the same God who works all things in everyone.
(1 Corinthians 12:7) To each one the manifestation of the Holy Spirit is given for profit.
(1 Corinthians 12:8) To another the word of wisdom by the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
(1 Corinthians 12:9) To another faith by the same Spirit, to another the gift of healing by one Spirit,
(1 Corinthians 12:10) To another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the sacrificing of spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, to another interpretation of tongues
(1 Corinthians 12:11) All these things are done by one and the same Spirit, distributing to each one according to his will.
(1 Corinthians 12:12) As the body is one and has many members, and as the body has many members and is one body, so is Christ.
(1 Corinthians 12:13) By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 12:14) The body is not one member, but many.
(1 Corinthians 12:15) If the foot says, “I am not a hand, and I am not of the body, it is not because of this that it is not of the body.”
(1 Corinthians 12:16) And if the ear says, I am not an eye, and I am not of the body, it is not because of this that it is not of the body.
(1 Corinthians 12:17) If the whole body is an eye, where is it to hear; and if the whole body is to hear, where is it to smell?
(1 Corinthians 12:18) But now God has placed each of the members in the body as he willed.
(1 Corinthians 12:19) If all are but one member, where is the body?
(1 Corinthians 12:20) Now the members are many, but the body is one.
(1 Corinthians 12:21) The eyes will not say to the hands, 'I have no need for you,' nor will the head, to the feet, say, 'I have no need of you.
(1 Corinthians 12:22) Not only this, but the seemingly weaker members of the body are rather useful,
(1 Corinthians 12:23) And we clothe them with more precious things in our body, which we value less, and our less beautiful members gain more beautiful things.
(1 Corinthians 12:24) Our beautiful members do not require anything, but God has made the body even, adding honor to the members who lack it.
(1 Corinthians 12:25) There is no division in the body, but the members are made to look after one another.
(1 Corinthians 12:26) If one member suffers, all the members suffer together; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice together.
(1 Corinthians 12:27) Ye are the body of Christ, each part of it.
(1 Corinthians 12:28) God hath set some in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then power, then gifts of healing, helping one another, governing, and speaking in various tongues.
(1 Corinthians 12:29) Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all works of miracles?
(1 Corinthians 12:30) Do all have the gift of healing, do all speak in tongues, or are all interpreters?
(1 Corinthians 12:31) Desire the greater gifts, and I will show you the best way.

Today is the Sunday for appointing officers. We need to know about weaving. The church has several officers. These are the deacons in Seori, the deacons of ordained office, the kwons, the elders, etc. We bless all of us who look into the meaning of weaving and grow as weavers praised by the Lord. To do this, let's look at the meaning of the title in the text.
understanding of the job
The Greek word for job title in today's text is diakoia. These words contain the meaning of errands for public service. In other words, the person in charge is doing what he or she is asked to do, not his or her job. I'm saying it's not what I want. This is the difference from the rest of the world. People in the world live their lives doing what they think and want to do. However, since we have accepted the Lord as our master, we follow the Lord's will and live our lives centered on the Lord.
Criteria for position
understanding of the Lord
To do this, we need to know about the Lord who gave us the office. The Lord is the Supreme Ruler. He is unchanging in the past, present and future. He is the Lord in all realms. Therefore, we must submit to that authority.
Differences in view of the Lord
We need to know the Lord right away. There is a story of the owner of the vineyard. He went out several times a day and called the waiting man to work and put him to work. However, when it comes to distributing wages, the first to come and the last to come are given the same amount. Then the person who came first complained. Then the Lord says that this was his covenant with you, and says, Do you call me evil because I am good?
Here we can see the difference between my standards and the Lord's standards. You must not judge the Lord by my thoughts. Rather, I bless you to become a person who enjoys the grace and goodness of the Lord. He will enjoy the grace of being first even if he is later.
reason to obey
The reason we obey the Lord is because He values and cares for us. The Lord knows and cares for me so well that he counts even the hairs on our heads. Therefore, we can cast all our toil and heavy burdens on the Lord.
difference of perspective on people
Not only that, but when we know the Lord, we can see that our perspective on people also changes. In other words, when you know that you are forgiven, you can live a life of forgiving others. You will enjoy the happiness of forgiveness.
difference of perspective on things
It also changes the way you view things. When you enter Jerusalem, he tells you to bring a donkey. The disciple goes and says to the donkey owner. “Tell the Lord to use it.” Then the owner gave it to him. If the Lord wants us and the Lord, I bless you that you will enjoy the blessing of giving up what you have to serve.
