The title of life / Matthew 11:7-15
Content Matthew 11:7-15
There are people who try to be good, but things don't work out the way they want, and there are people who do well. It is a wonderful blessing to have a life that will become a reality. A saint is a person who enjoys the blessings that come to pass. Try to be, and there is nothing to worry about. May you enjoy the abundant grace of being held in the Lord's hands and living with a happy and grateful heart.
Sometimes we get pushed into places we don't want to go. That is hardship for me. But for the saints, it is an opportunity for blessings through hardship. Under no circumstances should you be discouraged and move forward. There is a way for God's people to live. It is the grace of God that opens you up.
In verse 11, the Lord praised John the Baptist, saying, “Among those born of women there is no greater than John the Baptist!” Also in verse 14, John the Baptist is said to be like Elijah. The man whom the Lord had praised was also imprisoned and his faith was shaken when he faced difficulties.
It can happen to anyone that a person sometimes falls into depression and the wrong things. The important thing is to overcome the moment of stagnation as soon as possible and use it as an opportunity for re-creation to become a person who inevitably gets blessings.
Dear all! You are a blessed child of God. never from hell. Heaven is now guaranteed. The important thing is not to die and live in heaven, but to live a life in heaven on this earth now.
So what kind of life will it be?
1. Those who are in the Lord.
The key message of John the Baptist in the Gospels is, “Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” This is the word of heaven and wonderful blessings for those who repent and come into Jesus.
The starting point of blessing is repentance. Without repentance, there is no real corridor. If everything goes well and you are blessed without repenting, it will be a spiritual optical illusion and Satan's temptation. The Lord is not in me, and I cannot enjoy true blessings if I am not in the Lord.
To the east of San Francisco is the small island of Alcatraz. The island has a prison for medium-sized prisoners, and it is said that prisoners sometimes jump into the sea to escape the prison. However, none of them managed to escape because of the rapids, so there is a sign on the door of the prison that says: “The only way you can get out of this island is not to run away, but to change yourself.”
That's right. The only way to change is to live a life that we receive grace and become. Wrong things must be boldly cut off. It is necessary to lead a decisive life of faith. The most precious decision is always in the Lord.
It's good that you have a hobby. However, that hobby must also be fulfilled in the Lord. Some are so engrossed in the game of golf that they neglect worship on Sundays. "Where have you been?" When asked, he replies, “I have been to green pastures.” There is contentment in the green pastures that the Lord leads. It's unfortunate if you're out of the Lord because of the green pastures you play in.
If you come from outside the Lord into the Lord, your life will become what it will be. However, if you go out of the Lord in the Lord, there is no effort. No, even if it seems to be going well, later on, you will fall into emptiness and disappointment. Amazing things happen the moment we come from outside the Lord into the Lord. From a beggar to a prince. We live with the amazing authority of God's children. On the other hand, the moment you step out of the Lord, you become like a beggar from a prince. You will not be able to live the life you have.
In verse 11, the Lord said, “There is no one on this earth greater than John the Baptist.” But in heaven, that is, "in the Lord no one is greater than John the Baptist." This means that those who are in the Lord will be the greatest and will live a life of becoming.
We should never envy the world while living our faith. In the Korean business world, Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee is a very big person. But in the Lord, even the smallest is greater than anyone else. Please believe it. Above all, we must consider what is in the Lord the most precious blessing. Even if we lack outward things, we must live with the greatest blessing in knowing that we are in the Lord. This is how you live a life that becomes a person in the Lord.
2. The life that will be made is a person of unwavering faith.
People who are indecisive and make decisions back and forth cannot do great things. Faith must not be shaken like a reed. Such a person will never be able to live a life as it should be.
In verse 7, the Lord said, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?” he said. This is not to be shaken like a reed. God is demanding of us “a faith that is neither left nor right.” Paul, who is well aware of this, confesses, "I follow the goal without being shaken."
Those who doubt and waver even when praying cannot expect an answer. James 1:6-7 says, "But ask in faith, and do not doubt at all. The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind/ Do not expect such a person to obtain anything from the Lord." There is no such thing as a blessing for the same person.
The saints must not be shaken even in the ever-changing environment. If you decide to believe, you must believe until the end. No matter what hardships come, don't be shaken. If you do not be shaken by any temptation, Satan will withdraw.
Whatever the circumstances, the church view should not be shaken. Even if there are good words here and there, your view of faith should not be shaken. Often, Satan tenaciously bites our weaknesses and stretches, shaking our faith and vision. But you must not fall. You need to know that the Lord is holding you.
The characteristic of life is that there is leisure and laughter. I laugh whenever possible. Use funny humor and make laughs. Please don't feel frustrated that it can't be done right now, and enjoy the joy of being able to smile with a leisurely pace.
Humor is cool and fun. It is the lubricant of life that allows you to smoothly pass on mistakes, and it is the freedom of life. Life should be relaxed and smiling.
A girl came home from school and told her mother. "Mom! I was punished by my teacher for something I didn't do today." "What? Is there such a case? I'll have to go to school tomorrow and talk to your teacher. By the way, what did you not do?" "homework."
Even the saints face trials and storms in life at times. At this time, many people shake their faith and fall. However, those who are in the Lord and stand firm in the Word have room to spare without being shaken. I believe that a person of such strong faith will enjoy the grace of becoming the Lord.
3. The life that will be made is a person who does not lose hope in any event.
It is that even a poor being like me can become greater than John the Baptist in heaven. The message given to us through these words is that we should live with hope. Believers must live with courage, confidence, and hope. Ordinary people say, "I'm going to die!" when it's hard. However, we believers who have hope must live with the conviction that “It belongs to the Lord!” in any event.
So let's Even if I am lacking or weak, I have a solution to the problem and hope! Amen.
Please do not blame the environment for anything. The life you become will overcome the environment. No one in this world is perfect. When one is prosperous, the other is scarce. Therefore, we must never make a new theatre. Life is like rock, paper, scissors. Scissors loses to rock, rock loses to paper, and see loses to scissors. No one always wins, and no one always loses. All have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, I should be grateful for the strengths given to me.
I hope that you believe that it is the best work that God has made and that you will cherish yourself and live. First, you can live a life of being a person who finds hope in yourself. The life to be made moves forward with a strong belief. Avoids in the face of many adversity and does not turn back. It is about overcoming adversity and creating hope.
A life that has become a meaning is a hopeful existence. Our members need to be a little obsessive. It requires concentration and a strong will. A person with dedication succeeds. In other words, those who have a vision and work hard without being shaken will reap the fruits.
We must move forward stronger. Jacob stretched out holding on to God in the river Jabbok, saying, “God! I can't let you go unless you bless me." In the end, he received the great name of ‘Israel’, which means ‘one who overcomes God’ and was blessed.
We too must become spiritual Israel. You must hold on to God. You have to hold onto it stronger than Jacob. It must be held and stretched to the point where the hip bone cannot be broken and can be broken. If we dash towards our vision like that, our dreams will surely come true.
Perseverance, concentration and exhaustion will make an amazing history. A magnifying glass will also burn the paper when light without any power is collected. It requires more concentration. Concentrate on prayer as well. Please also focus on worship. We need to focus on the good and the blessed things. There is hope where you focus, and the history that will be made will come.
A fire broke out under the Antarctic ice. It turned out that the ice was frozen convexly and became like a magnifying glass, and the light was concentrated and ignited even under the ice. Concentration gives you strength. By physically focusing the light further, the laser beam that cuts the metal is produced.
It doesn't matter if the environment is a little bad, or if the brain is a little bad. If you focus on your vision, you can overcome that weakness. Edison was not smart. My grades were also bad. However, I was able to create so many inventions that I was so immersed in something that I didn't even know if my house was on fire.
If we, too, focus on our vision and live according to the Word, great works will happen. If anything is good, you have to keep moving forward with the attitude that you will see the end. If you keep your loyalty, your service, and your best efforts, history will surely happen. We must move forward. must overcome. You have to go out strong with faith.
