Let's look at Mark Chapter 12. Let's see from Chapter 11, verse 12 to verse 14 in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark Chapter 11, verse 12, when they left Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing a fig tree in leaf from afar, He went to see if He could find anything on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing but leaves because it was not the season for figs. Then Jesus said to the tree, May no one ever eat fruit from you again. His disciples heard Him say it. This is as far as we've read. Now, why did God curse the fig tree? Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Oh, Jesus was hungry and wanted to eat figs from the fig tree. But the problem was that there were no fruits on the fig tree. The thing is, fruits don't grow on trees all the time, right? Fruits have their season to bear fruit.

Right, apple trees don't bear fruit wherever you go in winter. Just like apple trees, there are times when apples ripen. You can pick and eat them when they ripen on the tree. Jesus didn't go to the fig tree when it wasn't the time for figs, but he went looking for fruit. However, there were no fruits because it wasn't the season. Yet, Jesus cursed that fig tree. Now, the issue is when we are living a life of faith, we must always consider what God wants first. Are our actions pleasing to Him or not? Whether we encounter blessings or face impossible situations, it is crucial to determine if these things are what God desires and finds pleasing. It's essential to know whether God desires it or not, right?

If you rejoice, no matter how impossible, difficult, or hard it is, things will definitely work out. But on the contrary, if God is not pleased, no matter how hard we try and struggle, those things will not work out. So, let's follow God's will, what He is pleased with, what He desires. Let's ask Him. Even if I am very sick and on the verge of death, I want God to heal me. Oh, if He wants to take my life, that would be very important. If God wants to keep me alive, even if I have ten cancers, I will never die. But the problem is that now it's not about living according to God's will, let's think from the perspective of a fig tree. Jesus was hungry and wanted fruit from the fig tree. The fig tree demanded fruit, but it was not the time yet. The time for fruit yield had not come yet.

When you come and demand fruit, it's not the time. How can I do that? It's not now. It's difficult now. It's impossible now. You should come when the fruit is ripe. From the tree's perspective, you can say that. But the issue is, even if it's not the time, if the Lord wants it, can it be done or not? If the Lord wants it, it will be done. It pleases God, and since the Lord wants it, even if it's not the time, the fruit can be produced. That's what my heart is like. But the problem is, the tree's stubbornness is much stronger. Even if the Lord does it, it's too much. You should come at the right time. Without even knowing that, if you come now and ask for fruit, what do you want me to do? It's not possible now. It's not possible. You should come when the fruit is ripe and ask for fruit. It's not the time now. If you come with that, how can I...

It's impossible to bear fruit, but the problem is, even if it's not the right time, if the Lord is pleased, those things inevitably bear fruit. That's because it's God's will. So, when we do certain things, it's not about whether it will work out or not, it's about trusting in our wisdom. No matter how difficult or impossible it may seem, if we seek God's will and it pleases Him, then it's good, but if it doesn't please Him, then it's not, even if all conditions are met. However, no matter how impossible things may seem, if the Lord desires it, it will come to pass. The most important thing in our life of faith is to seek the Lord's will. Is the Lord doing these things or not? Does He want it? Ah, God will be pleased with these things no matter how.

The things you mentioned won't work out, so when we live a life of faith, asking for God's will is very important. This time, we invited presidents and leaders from African countries to the Africa Forum in our country. They came from over 40 countries. We met with about ten presidents, had discussions, and some of them expressed their desire to visit Gangnam Church. One president even said, I'm busy, so if you come to the hotel, I can meet you. They went to the hotel, met with the pastor, shared the gospel, discussed how to spread the gospel in their countries, and received support. That's what happened. President Etienne, or King, had a meeting with the pastor at the hotel.

You've had an interview. At that time, President Yoon Seong-yeol mentioned that he wants to take some time off for rejuvenation and would like to do some tourism in Korea, so he seems to have chosen Busan. When he is with the president, what he was interested in was wanting to develop his country in Africa. He had a strong desire for it. What is the most ambitious thing? In our country, a technology called clean technology was born, and he wanted to learn about clean technology because he is doing well with a clean energy company. President Yoon Seong expressed his intention to visit the SK Energy refinery when he goes to Busan, so he visited the factory. Originally, he had planned to visit Hyundai Motor Company and also the clean energy company. Upon hearing this, the pastor said, Then you can attend Sunday service in Busan. Is this how you are going to do it?

Now, if this person is leaving today, he came today riding Pastor Kyeongja's private plane. Today, he probably stopped by somewhere like Singapore and it seems like he will come in here. As I think about it, it seems difficult to attend the Sunday service. As I think about it, oh, if Pastor Lee Yang came to Busan, he would come to our church. Moreover, since Pastor Kyeongja believes in God earnestly, he is a sincere believer. He is also a missionary saint in some church and has received salvation. Then, it would be nice to have a service in Busan. That's how the conversation went. So, it would be great if the pastor came and didn't have the Sunday service at Gangnam Church, but came here, held a revival meeting, and had a service. That's what I thought. But the problem is, whether God is pleased, that is, if the pastor comes to our church.

Is it uncomfortable to talk about God? Would He be pleased? Yes, it's something even elementary school students know, right? That's right. Hey, God would be pleased if He came to our church. Meeting the pastor again, sharing His word, and even giving out teaching materials, the more we meet, the better, right? So, now that we are doing these tasks, we, well, we didn't have anything we could do, actually. That's right. None of you did anything, right? Of course, the sisters worked hard in the kitchen, cooking, serving, really doing a lot of hard work, right? Even if you work hard in the kitchen, if the taste is not good, all the hard work goes to waste, right? But the problem is, now that we are doing these tasks, in reality, we didn't have anything to do, and I didn't do anything at all. The problem is that President Yoon Seong-yeol has designated Busan.

That's right. The President made a tourist course so that he could go to Busan. He said to visit a petroleum company. Now, we cannot change this schedule because we made a promise with the President of our country. So, since the President arranged the schedule to go to Busan, it's not like we arranged the schedule, right? We have to follow it. This time in Busan, it would be great to have a tourism course. We have never said a word about this before. Why did the President arrange this schedule and come here? We are so grateful. It's like God gave us an opportunity in Busan. So, we couldn't do anything and had no plans. Actually, in the middle of it, it is God's will to have a dinner with our pastor and worship here with King Koo.

What is it? Hundreds and hundreds of lies and dozens of reversals. There were so many things that seemed impossible. So, when we work, when we see people struggling with tests, it's because we keep changing. When we work, things change a lot, right? It's annoying, right? But I thought it kept changing only when I worked in happy scriptures. But it's not like that. This time, when I worked in oral health, it changed even more. I realized they keep changing. Oh, we change less and others change more. When I talked to people in the world, they said things keep changing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It works, it doesn't. It works, it doesn't. So, you have to go back and forth between heaven and hell several times a day, right? But the problem is,

This process has been back and forth, back and forth, so many changes. Still, this is the opportunity given to us by God. So, if we prepare such a magnificent meal and the guests do not show up, what should we do? That's right. Therefore, whether they come or not must be confirmed. Since a lot of resources are involved, we need a confirmation for them to come. Once the order is placed for the food, the cooking starts, right? Everything is prepared, but what if they don't come? Quickly confirm it. How can I confirm it? But let's do it anyway because if the guests don't show up, what will happen to us? That's why. And what else? If they say they won't come, but we haven't prepared, and suddenly a call comes, what should we do? It could be a big problem. The king can do that. The king can do as he pleases.

Yes, the king does as he pleases. He can change things as he wishes, even in a single morning. Since there are so many changes, even if it doesn't work out, what can we do? Now, since there are so many changes, we won't be disappointed. Even if it doesn't work out, we can change it again. That's right. If there are too many things that don't work out, well, they can still be changed. So, thinking that we are preparing for a feast, we organized an event. The real king decided that a great feast is coming to the world. So, he came yesterday and everyone was so happy, the pastor was delighted, and we were all very happy. We spent a truly blessed and joyful time. He gave us over 30,000 square meters of land for our church. There, he built a youth center for us, and even a house for the pastor.

Please build it and if you give us a big land, then when September comes, now, oh, the cleaning center is now completed, and we are planning to have a dedication ceremony. So, now, for a while, now, Elder Wang, one window over there, now, modeling construction needs to be done in the chapel. To do the construction, we need one or two skilled carpenters. So, we decided to sponsor them from our Busan church. It was a great decision, right? Yes. Anyway, we don't know who will be chosen, but those who are good at carpentry should go and take the test. It's something that pleases God, so people focus on whether they are happy or not, whether they want it or not when they have faith. In fact, the focus should be on whether God is pleased.

If you rejoice and participate in those things, you will never lose. You will receive blessings from God a hundredfold, a thousandfold. Most of the time, it's not about whether I'm happy or want it or not, it's about following that path. In fact, everything fails if God is not pleased at all. I have to like it because I am the center now, and because I am God. That's where all the unhappiness comes from. Truly, when God is pleased, no matter how impossible, difficult, or problematic things may seem, they will work out. But the problem is, it's not related to that. I have to live as I please. I have to be happy now, whether God is happy or not, it doesn't matter, I have to be happy. I have to follow my feelings, my thoughts. There are people who live like that, without any regard for God. However, for those who believe in God, their own will and desires are not important at all; it's what God wants.

It is very important because we are servants of God. That's why. Servants do not lead their lives as they please, but everything in the household is determined by the master. It depends on what kind of heart the master has, whether the master is pleased. This is very important. Therefore, if we are led by the will of the Lord, it seems like our lives will be blessed, and we will be filled with indescribable joy and happiness. Today, I heard the parable of the fig tree like this: Jesus will talk to the fig tree while reading it. The next day, when we left Bethany, Jesus saw a fig tree in the distance with leaves on it. He went to see if there was anything on the tree, but found nothing except leaves because it was not the season for figs to bear fruit.

Because the fruit did not bear fruit, the time to bear fruit was probably right. If the time was right to bear fruit, the fruit of the fig tree would have been there. It didn't bear fruit because it wasn't the right time. But Jesus said to the tree, No one will ever eat fruit from you again. His disciples heard this. He cursed the fig tree. So, Jesus wanted fruit, but it wasn't the right time. It's not the time for fruit yet. Now, it's not [MUSIC], right? It's not the time to bear fruit, so how can you ask for fruit now? It's too forced, isn't it? It's too much, isn't it? Yes, it's not the right time, so it can't bear fruit, right? But whether Jesus bears fruit now or not is not important. What's important is the situation you are in.

Your conditions are not important. What matters now is whether the Lord wants to meet you, what problems you encounter, what pain you face, what sadness you experience, or what misfortune you have. It's not important at all. God delights in blessing me. Even if I am trapped in the middle, do I want God to bless you? Do I want to curse you? Yes, even elementary school students know this. No matter how difficult my situation is, when I see God's will, I realize that God wants to bless me. Then I am a blessed person. What are all these difficulties? They will all turn into blessings. This is what comes to mind. So, no matter how many sins you have committed, or how hard you have tried to live, it doesn't matter. It's not important. You, with a pile of sins.

Because I have committed sins, I have to go to hell. That's your responsibility and your thoughts. Even if we have committed many sins like a mountain, do you want the Lord to send me to heaven or do you want me to go to hell? We should ask for the meaning. Does God want you to go to heaven or does He want you to go to hell? Yes, then, even if I have committed many sins like a mountain, I am convinced that I will go to heaven. Why does God want to bless me and want me to go to heaven? Do you want God to save me or do you not want Him to save me? Or do you want Him to wash away my sins or do you not want Him to wash away my sins? It is very important. Depending on how wrong your life has been, you can become a miserable person or a blessed person. It's not like that. No matter how wickedly you live, how dirty you live, and how many sins you

Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you. Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you. Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you. Jesus is the one who says that. If you look at the Bible, two people come out. Judas and Judas come out. Judas had 30 eyes darkened and sold Jesus. He received the Lord and sold his teacher. It's me, isn't it? And there was Peter. Peter cursed and denied Jesus three times before the crucifixion. You will all reject me before the rooster crows, he said. When Peter heard that, he was very upset. Lord, how do you see me? I will abandon everything - water, boat, hometown - and follow only you, he decided in his heart. But why do I deny you, Lord? I will never deny you, even if I have to die with you. That was Peter's determination. I will never deny it. What does Jesus say to Peter, who swore like that? You today

Before the rooster crows in the evening, Jesus said Peter would deny him three times. When Peter heard this, he felt very sad because he wasn't trusting Jesus. He promised, I will never deny you before I die, I swear. But just a short time later, Peter cursed and denied Jesus in front of Roman soldiers. Judas received 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus, and Peter cursed and denied Jesus three times. They both committed the same sin. Judas received a curse, but Peter received a blessing. Judas asked, Will God still love me after betraying Jesus? Will God be pleased with me? Will God forgive me? It doesn't matter what God's will is at all.

I lived. When he saw himself, he thought he was human trash. A guy like me should be cursed. In this dirty world, where money rules everything, he sold himself for thirty pieces of silver. The person leaving is not even human. I'd rather die. Let's just die. So I ended up killing myself. What should I do at that time? What should I do if it's God's will? God, this dirty money blinded me for thirty years, so I sold out Jesus. But do you still love me, Lord? Don't you love me? If God curses me, will He bless me? I should ask. But when Peter asked Jesus that way, what did Jesus do? Until the end of the world, I love you, He said. Even though there was God's will, Peter didn't believe in that will of the Lord, so he couldn't forgive himself. The Lord is willing to forgive sins, even seven times or more.

I am here, but the problem is that I cannot forgive myself. I did such bad things, lived such a dirty life, behaved so wickedly. Can someone like me go to heaven? No, I, someone like me, deserve to be cursed. I will be cursed. The Lord forgave all our sins with the blood of the cross, but Judas Iscariot couldn't forgive himself. The problem is that his own will is much stronger than the Lord's original plan. If he wants, it's a bigger deal. Even now, there are many people who believe like Peter and live such unhappy lives. The Lord forgave everyone, but I can't forgive myself, so I died on my own. Jesus never cursed Judas Iscariot. He sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, blinded by greed, yet Jesus chose Peter until the end of the world.

Until the end of the world, if you knew the heart of the Lord who loves, you would never have committed such a sin. You would not have died. Your heart is bigger than the Lord's original plan, even bigger than His heart. Because you think you are right, smart, and superior, because you think you are a good person, you cannot forgive yourself. That's why you end up hanging yourself. That's the reason for being cursed. People who do not have the assurance of salvation, why do they not have confidence in salvation through the faith of Judas Iscariot? The Lord has forgiven and forgiven all our sins. It is because you cannot forgive yourself. Because you think you are a good person. I sold myself for thirty pieces of silver, following bad teachings. I am not even human. I will go to hell. I am not worthy of salvation. The Lord has saved and forgiven, and He has made it possible for us to go to heaven, but I...

I cannot forgive myself, there is no cure for that. It's like a road with no end. Why don't I receive the love of the Lord? For those kinds of people, the concept of hell, the concept of curse, starts to form a picture. The Lord has never drawn a picture of curse for us, but because we have committed many sins ourselves, we deserve to be cursed. This is how they think, leading to living an unhappy life. However, Peter denied and cursed three times, but what about Peter now? Just like Judas Iscariot, his heart was flowing in the same direction. Jesus went out, there were no disciples to become, I used to be a fisherman in the old days. Let's go catch some fish now. Will you be happy throwing nets and catching fish by the Sea of Galilee? Even if you catch a lot of fish, will you be happy? Being abandoned by the teacher, it becomes an endless, endless sense of guilt, a pain in the heart, and suffering.

Why can't I forgive myself? Jesus came, Jesus, facing the suffering Peter, asked, Peter, do you love me? After receiving that question, Peter had never thought about it, but when he looked into his heart, he realized that he had cursed and denied three times, but there was a love for Jesus in his heart. Lord, you know that I love you, Peter said. He asks the same question three times, Will you feed my sheep? The Lord said to Peter, You denied me three times in front of the rooster, but now you will die with me and never deny. How could you betray him to me? How could you be my disciple? You are not. Jesus knew it would be like that, but He never said that to Jesus. If I had become a fisherman catching people.

I would like it if I could make you a fisher of men before you deny me three times, to become a great worker of God and to make you a preacher. I have planned towards you, whether you sin or not, I wanted that. The Lord led Peter as He wished. From then on, Peter started to be led by the Lord's will. In his heart, like Peter, he must die like Judas. He denied cursing three times, saying, I am human garbage, deserving to be cursed in the sea of curses endlessly. He should be led by that thought. But Peter changed the direction of his heart. God who desires what the Lord wants is pleased with me. Even though I have sinned, lived wickedly, and denied three times, saying I will erase it, still the Lord loves me. I discovered the heart of the Lord.

Being led to go by the new faith is being led by the Lord's will. So, no matter how evil a life you have lived, no matter how clean a life you have lived, it doesn't matter at all for you to go to heaven. Even if you have lived a dirty and evil life, what matters is the Lord's will. God is leading you to heaven according to His will. Even if you are trapped in difficult circumstances, God wants to save me here. Even if you are in difficult circumstances, if you are led by the Lord's will, God will start performing miracles from that moment. It's not the time for the fig tree to bear fruit. You have to come at the right time to eat the fruit. Isn't God waiting for the right time? Isn't it not the right time now to bear fruit?

It's not the time, Lord, don't you know that? But even though the fig tree is not in season, if led by Your will, it will bear fruit for the fig tree. So, feeding 5,000 people with five barley loaves is possible, but how about Philip? Philip, who is not included, was also part of the calculation. Can we feed 5,000 people with just five barley loaves and two fish? The calculation was involved whether it's possible or not. No matter how we calculate, it seems like an impossible calculation. There are only 200 denarii worth of bread, which is not enough. But the Lord knows that if these people are sent away like this, they will collapse from hunger. The Lord wanted to feed and send them. Ah, the Lord desires to feed them to their heart's content, even with just one barley loaf.

It's possible with just two barley rice cakes. Why? Because the Lord wants it. And when you tear off barley rice cakes, it's like feeding a crowd of 5,000 and leaving 12 baskets behind. So, there are people who live by accurate calculations and common sense, and there are people who live by the will of the Lord. People who believe in God do not live by certain calculations and common sense. No, it's not the right time yet. If someone asks me for wood when I have no axe, how can I cut it? It's unreasonable and goes against common sense, but since it pleases the Lord, that's all that matters. According to His will, as you do those things, God will perform miracles and open up miraculous paths.

God leads us so that we can bear fruit. Those who believe in God should live a life of faith, believing in the Lord. People who live trapped in common sense and calculations are not. The fig tree should come at the right time. If it comes now, and demands fruit, how can I bear fruit? It's impossible. Even if it seems difficult and impossible, if it pleases the Lord, it's enough. Let's try going once. Let's try doing it once. As we go, if we go with our hearts open, from then on, God will start opening the way from heaven, giving wisdom, giving hearts, opening impossible paths, and then God will open the way. If we look, God leads us to bear fruit. Looking at how God leads us, living a life of faith is so, so happy and joyful.

It's like this. Oh, I've been living trapped in common sense all this time, and I couldn't experience the Lord. This is absolutely impossible. So, even if it seems impossible when I think about it, can't the Lord do it? When you look at it, this is absolutely impossible, it goes against common sense, it's not possible. That's why it's not allowed. However, if the Lord does it, it can be done, right? We have the living God with us. So, if the Lord is pleased, He can do it. So, as we take a step by step towards the impossible situation, God starts to open up various paths for us. When we face any difficulties, what would make God pleased? It's definitely something that pleases the Lord. Then, those things will surely be the ones where God opens up the way from heaven. From that moment, God leads us in a very enjoyable spiritual life and guides us very blessedly.

We were really touched by what you gave us last night because it was what God desired, so everything is good. We should just follow the king's will. However, when the eunuchs looked into it, they were not following the king's will, but rather calculating whether it was right or wrong. As we focused on that, our hearts were also swayed too much. But the question is whether the king will go or not, whether he wants to go or not. Everything changes here. The king wanted to come, so everything is possible. If he wants it, everything will be done. We need to hold a meeting, and there were seven eunuchs. Among them, there was a eunuch called Moomugwan. We need to dismiss the queen, yes. The king asked the seven eunuchs how to handle it, saying, Even if I call her, she doesn't come. What should I do?

Are you okay? No one is speaking. Why does the queen have the power to drop me vertically now? If she makes a mistake, everything will go wrong. Who advocated for justice? Even if it's not right, even if it's not justified, you can't survive even with ten necks. But there was a myth called Mumuhan, which thinks. The king asked, Should I abolish the throne or just reinstate the queen? The decision must be made, but Mumuhan examines the king's intentions. What does the king want? If the king wants justice, if he says not to abolish it, he will also be in danger. But if the king wants to abolish it, let's do it together. Then he can survive. It's important what the king's intentions are. The official examined the king's intentions.

You want to banish the queen this time. Your mind is set on it. This is not about your own mind, but about the king's mind. Your Majesty, even if the queen calls for you, she is not welcomed. If you forgive her for this, it will cause a big problem in our country. Now, the harmony in families will collapse, and when husbands say something, wives won't listen and will be in chaos. The queen didn't listen to the king's words and left the palace, causing great confusion in the country. At this point, the queen must be dismissed immediately. You argued for justice, but when you argued for dismissal, the queen survived, which means someone else should die. But that person did not die because it was the king's will. The king was so pleased to hear that, he dismissed the queen. It is important to ask questions. God is pleased when you ask questions. It doesn't matter what intentions you have or how you live. This unhappy...

Is what I'm doing pleasing to God or not? It's not about pleasing God, but whether God is uncomfortable. This is very important, so we need to pay attention to the king's countenance, look to God's countenance, and ask for God's will. It doesn't matter what difficulties you face. It's not important at all. Does God really want to fix me? Do you want me to be fixed? Yes. When you are sick, do you want God to heal you, or do you want to suffer and die from a long illness? Do you want to be healed? There is no father who wants his child to die when his child is dying. That's not right. That's not it. Do you want God to save you from your difficulties and open up a new path?

Do you want to be forgiven? No, you want to see me suffer and be beaten, right? Do you want me to open the way for you? So, when you believe, you have to let go of the thought that it's not allowed in your heart. That's not God's will. If you want to go to heaven, do you want to go to hell? Of course, you want to go to heaven. Then, you are going to heaven. It depends on God's will. Even if you commit a pile of sins, if God is pleased and wants it, you will go. But because God is pleased that you go to heaven, 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross to save you from all your sins. He made you righteous and holy through the blood of the cross so that you can go to heaven. God wants it, so He has opened the way for all of you.

I have forgiven all sins, but you must also forgive your sins. That's what God wants. God forgives, but I can't forgive myself. Yeah, that's right. If you don't forgive, a person like me will go to hell. Yeah, I have committed so many sins, who would be pleased with me? God is pleased, but if you are not pleased with yourself because you cannot forgive yourself, you cannot have the assurance of salvation. It's not about having the confidence to go to heaven, it's about not being able to have the assurance of salvation because you cannot forgive yourself. God has forgiven your sins, so you must also forgive your sins. Only then can you have a heart like God's. Even if you encounter unhappy things, if God is pleased, what should you do? You should be pleased together. This is having the same heart. No matter how annoying things are, if God is thankful, what should you do? You should be thankful together. This is having the same heart as God and living according to the Lord's will. So, in your life...

Misfortunes will disappear. Where do misfortunes come from? They come from oneself. God does not want you to live an unhappy life. So no matter what God does, you should ask for God's will. God will never say, Please heal my disease, and not do it. God will never do that. If you say, I will heal you, when you say, I have difficulties, I have hardships, please help me here, God will say, I will help you. He will never say, I cannot help you. That's not what He does. That's what the devil does. God, I have sinned. I feel like I'm going to hell. What should I do? No, you will never go to hell. By the blood of Jesus on the cross, all sins are washed away. You can go to heaven. That's my will. So, no matter how many sins you commit, you are led by the will of God.

You have to go. This person is a believer in God. God has erased the word unhappiness from us. Unhappiness is something that arises according to your desires, but God never gives you an unhappy life. So, I hope you enjoy the happiness that God has given you and live a blessed life to the fullest.

예수님이 무화과나무를 저주한 것의 의미

예수님은 무화과 제철이 아닌데도 배가 고파서 열매가 맺히지 않는 무화과나무를 저주하셨어요.

이 이야기는 불가능해 보이는 상황에서도 하나님의 뜻을 구하고 따르는 것이 중요하다는 것을 보여줍니다.

주님을 기쁘시게 하고 그분의 뜻과 일치하는 것이라면 어떤 상황에서도 그 뜻이 이루어질 수 있다는 점을 강조합니다.

아프리카 대통령 초청: 신성한 기회

40여 명의 아프리카 대통령들이 방한했으며, 그중 일부는 강남교회를 방문하고 싶다는 의사를 밝혔습니다.

윤성열 대통령은 자국의 청정에너지 분야 발전에 큰 관심을 보이며 부산의 여러 기업을 방문할 계획이었습니다.

교인들은 대통령의 부산 방문에 대해 갈등을 느꼈지만 결국 담임목사님과 함께 저녁 식사를 하고 예배를 드릴 수 있는 하나님의 기회로 여겼습니다.

삶의 끊임없는 변화와 하나님의 뜻

인생은 끊임없이 변화하기 때문에 좌절감을 느낄 수 있지만 하나님이 주신 기회로 여겨집니다.

본문은 또한 하나님을 기쁘시게 할 때 오는 기쁨에 대해 이야기하고 자신의 욕망보다 하나님의 뜻을 따르는 것이 중요함을 강조합니다.

큰 잔치가 열리고 참석자들이 하나님의 축복을 받는 중요한 사건이 묘사됩니다.

주님의 뜻을 따르는 것의 중요성

주님의 뜻에 따라 사는 것은 어떤 어려움에 직면하더라도 삶에 축복과 기쁨을 가져다준다고 믿어집니다.

무화과나무의 비유는 개인의 과거 실수나 현재 상황보다 개인을 축복하고자 하는 하나님의 열망이 더 중요하다는 것을 설명하는 데 사용됩니다.

성경에 나오는 유다와 베드로의 이야기는 어려움 속에서도 주님께 신실함을 유지하는 것의 중요성을 강조하기 위해 언급되었습니다.

베드로와 유다의 예수님 부인: 비교

베드로는 예수님을 세 번이나 부인한 후 깊은 후회와 슬픔을 느꼈고, 유다는 은 30냥을 받고 예수님을 배신하고 자기 용서를 위해 고군분투했습니다.

두 사람 모두 같은 죄를 지었지만 베드로는 예수님으로부터 축복과 용서를 받았지만 유다는 자신을 용서하지 못하고 결국 스스로 목숨을 끊었습니다.

예수님은 베드로에게 사랑과 용서를 베풀어 주셨지만 유다는 자신을 용서하지 못해 불행한 삶과 자해의 형벌로 이어졌습니다.

베드로는 예수님을 세 번 부인하지만 나중에 예수님에 대한 사랑을 재확인하여 구원을 받고 교회의 핵심 인물이 됩니다.

이 이야기는 천국에 가기 위해서는 과거의 죄나 의로운 삶보다 주님의 뜻에 따라 사는 것이 더 중요하다는 생각을 강조합니다.

이 이야기는 또한 하나님의 뜻을 따르면 인간의 계산과 상식을 뛰어넘는 기적적인 결과를 가져올 수 있다는 점을 강조합니다.

믿음의 삶과 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 삶

신자들은 불가능한 상황에 직면했을 때에도 주님을 믿고 신뢰하는 삶을 살도록 격려받습니다.

주님을 기쁘시게 하는 것이 어려움을 극복하고 영적 삶에서 기쁨을 찾는 열쇠입니다.

이 이야기는 또한 왕의 뜻을 이해하고 따르는 것의 중요성과 왕의 의도를 질문하고 살피는 것의 결과를 강조합니다.

용서와 구원을 위한 하나님의 뜻

하나님의 뜻은 사람들이 용서받고 구원받는 것이며, 스스로를 용서함으로써 구원의 확신을 갖는 것입니다.

어떤 어려움에 직면하더라도 하나님의 뜻과 일치하고 그분과 같은 마음을 갖는 것이 중요합니다.

불행은 자신에게서 오는 것으로 믿어지며, 하나님은 누구도 불행한 삶을 살기를 원하지 않으십니다.

하나님은 기꺼이 도와주시고 그분의 뜻을 따르는 것이 축복된 삶으로 이어진다는 점을 강조합니다.
