路加福音6:17-49 “分别的生命”
Good morning, brothers and sisters. Today is February 14, 2016. Welcome to listen to the main channel of Menyeh Updates. Today's channel topic is New Life Separately. The text is from Luke 6, chapter 17 to 49.
Are you looking for new things or new things? For example, after worship, will you look for a new restaurant to have lunch? Maybe you are craving for a hamburger or pizza? I think Chinese restaurants are different from Western restaurants.
Occasionally, people like to try new things. We are generally attracted by differences. Because they are fresh and interesting. Because of our curiosity, we are attracted. Chinese people usually use chopsticks.
Westerners use knives and forks. This is the difference. Another example. Chinese people take off their shoes before entering the house. Westerners do not have such a habit. So someone asked me, do you also wear shoes to bed?
Even in the United States, the culture of white people is also different from that of black people. Now, many videos like to use cultural differences as a joke. In the Chinese church, they call the wife of a priest a Muslim woman.
In the church of black people, they call her the first wife. In the church of white people, how do they call her? They say to her, the toilet is not clean. Chinese people like to discuss differences. In 1993, John Gray published a popular book,.
Called,.
Men are Mars, Women are Venus. At that time, this book sold 50 million copies. Recently, it may even have made a movie. The theme of this book is the difference between the psychology and psychology of men and women, and the difference between men and women's relationships.
To solve the problem of men and women's relationships, it is necessary to understand the psychological and psychological differences. This is my advice for Valentine's Day. Brothers and sisters, In this scripture, the Lord Jesus teaches us to know Him, and to live a new life that is truly different.
This is not just hanging in the mouth, or just a difference in a new name, but a new life that is not in harmony with the world. Let's look at Luke chapter 6, verses 17 -19. Jesus has a door. Many people came from Judah and Jerusalem, and came to the West Bank.
What did they do? Let's listen to what he said. They hoped to be healed of their illness, and those who were possessed by devils were also healed. Verse 19 says, Everyone touched Him, because there was power coming out of Him.
This is the difference between Jesus and ordinary false teachers, the Pharisees and the scribes. Because there was power coming out of Jesus. Paul said, God's kingdom does not depend on words, but on all people.
Galatians chapter 4, verse 20. Many Christians thought that it was enough to say a few beautiful words of victory in their sermons. But in their lives, they did not live the life of Jesus. Here we see the Lord Jesus Christ.
This Lord can be said to show and warn everyone. He is Messiah, the Lord. Later, the Lord Jesus will live in his disciples, and save us. Paul in Galatians chapter 12, verse 9. Jesus said to him, My grace is enough for you, because my ability is perfect in human weakness.
Then Paul said, For the sake of Jesus, I have been weak, confused, suffering, forced, suffering. It is a pity. Because when I was weak, when I was strong. So in the service, we have the ability of Jesus, to be strong, for the sake of the Lord Jesus, so that his grace can be shown.
This is the difference of the ability of Jesus, which can lead us to a new life. Let's look at another chapter, chapter 6, verse 20 -26. Jesus taught us to find the way of God, the way of repentance, the way of glory, and the way of judgment.
I will say it again. Jesus taught us to find the way of God,.
The way of judgment.
The so-called blessing in the world, refers to a big house, a big car, money,.
Joy,.
Being praised, and so on. This is the so-called big winner in the world. In this passage, we see that Jesus has a disability. His teaching is also full of diseases. Here, he refers to the blessing, or the devil's blessing, and the disaster, or the judgment.
This is a strong contrast. In today's world, there are different kinds of life, which affect the eternal life, the existence,.
And the death.
Jesus' teaching is not in the same direction. He teaches from the perspective of heaven, the things of the world, and puts our eyes on Him. He teaches His disciples, His believers, to rely on the Will and the True God.
Jesus points out in verses 20 -26, that those who are poor, hungry, and poor are the sons of men, and those who are hated, scolded, and rejected are the sons of men.
They are blessed.
That day, it is recorded in verse 23, that is, when the so-called Son of Man comes again, when the Judgment Day comes, these people will follow the name of the Lord, and because of the name of the Lord, they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and follow the Lord Jesus, and do not seek material wealth.
For example,.
They are poor, hungry, and those who serve the Lord, and follow the Lord's way and will, these people, even those who are hated,.
Scolded,.
Rejected,.
And cried,.
On that day, they will receive the reward of Heaven, the glory of Heaven. This is the new life that has been distinguished. They are blessed. On the contrary, these people,.
Also,.
Are the disciples, the believers. In this world, even if they live a rich life,.
Happy,.
Joyful, and have a good life, they are blessed in this world. However, those who are disloyal to the Lord Jesus Christ, and only seek the short-lived glory and wealth in this world, or the praise and reputation of the world, and do not pay attention to the teachings and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, will be like a false prophet, on that day, they will be judged for eternity.
They have not lived a life of salvation, nor a new life of victory. What is the difference between this and the life of the believers? These people are pitiful. These people are in trouble on that day.
I know, there are two sisters in Singapore. They usually live a light life, they usually spend very little, only spend 2 dollars on food, and not eat big fish and meat. They can do it, but they don't do it.
They have dedicated their daily savings to the construction of the temple. Because of their dedication, their hard work, they have donated $25 ,000 to us for the construction of the temple. They have done a great job.
They will be blessed. Now, let's see how Jesus discusses love in the 27th to the 38th chapter. Today is a great opportunity. Because today is Valentine's Day. We are talking about the so-called love.
The so-called love in the world. This Valentine's Day is about how the other person loves you. You love those who love you. This is the love of this world. But when the other person hates you, or offends you, or doesn't love you, or doesn't want to love you, you may even take revenge.
You may say, this is a lesson for them. Or a lesson for them. Brothers and sisters, friends, did you see that? Now, revenge has become a lesson. A lesson seems to be a matter of course. When you no longer love that person, or when that person doesn't love you.
This so-called lesson is not really about loving them. It does not teach them to repent, repent, and repent. On the contrary, it carries a warning tone. This warning tone comes from our anger. In this way, they will no longer offend you.
This is the love of the world. The way to live in harmony. Jesus' teaching to his disciples here is, you have a new life of separation. There is a difference in the world. You must be the sons of the Highest.
The Lord Jesus is your role model. He rewards those who are ungrateful and evil. You must have compassion like him. Compassion of God. Compassion of God. This is the teaching of the Lord Jesus. You have a new life in the Lord.
You must show it with action. What is this action? It is to love your enemies, treat those who hate you well, even bless them, bless those who curse you, curse you, and pray for those who curse you. Save those who beg you.
Someone will take your things. Don't take them back. This is different from the way people live. This is different from the way people live. There is a difference. The Lord Jesus in the 31st chapter gives us a new life of separation.
In this verse, the attitude is, This is the teaching of the Lord Jesus. A new life, a new attitude towards life. This is the starting point. This is God's answer. Because God loves people. He even gives His only begotten Son to them.
This kind of love is positive. You have to love others like God loves us. You have to love others like God loves us.
You have to love others like God loves us.
We are willing for others to love us, to love us, to worship us, but we don't expect them to try and try. Because what God has given us to try and try is to be in heaven, not on earth. When we are willing to love others, but we don't get people to love us back, what will we do?
Jesus said in the 37th to the 39th chapter, If you don't judge people, you won't be judged. If you don't condemn people, you won't be condemned. Jesus said, Because you give people what you have, God will also give you what you have.
Yes, we should be afraid. Because God's judgment is greater than human judgment. If you want to condemn people, you will be condemned. God will condemn you. If you want to give people, God will also give you what you have.
This is the new life of separation. This is the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the 39th to the 49th chapter, Jesus used metaphors to teach his disciples, that is, to teach us. The first metaphor is, How can a blind man lead a blind man?
Yes, how can a blind man lead a blind man? Aren't both people going to fall into the pit? Jesus continued, Can't students be higher than teachers? Isn't it the same as a teacher? Here, Jesus taught his disciples, to beware of the teaching of false teachers, so that we will not fall into the pit.
If we worship them, we will learn from them, and we will be in vain. Only Jesus is the true light, the true way. He is our true teacher. His teaching will lead us into his kingdom. These false teachers, are arrogant, arrogant, and like to criticize others.
They only see other people with thorns in their eyes, but they don't see themselves with good eyes. Jesus called these people hypocrites. Jesus taught his disciples, to be different from them, to be different from these hypocrites.
We can't, we can't use, we can't stay with them, we can't stay with them. Instead, we have to be different. Jesus taught his disciples, to rely on him, because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
We have to check ourselves first. Then the true light will lead us on the right path, to get rid of the evil eye in our eyes. Then we will be able to see clearly, to see clearly the way and the meaning of Jesus' teaching.
Then we will be able to help our brothers and sisters, to get rid of the thorns in their eyes. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and in the disciples who have found the new life. We have to know clearly, the Lord Jesus is the true Lord, he is our eternal good shepherd.
The sheep know the life of a good shepherd, and only follow his life. He, the good shepherd, will lead us to the land of green grass, to give us a new life, and to give us a more abundant life. When the end comes, Jesus will separate the sheep from the sheep.
This is recorded in Matthew 25. A good tree borrows good fruit, but no good tree borrows bad fruit. Similarly, only a bad tree borrows bad fruit. No bad tree can borrow good fruit. A tree that does not borrow good fruit, will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Good people, from the words in their hearts, will give good fruit. Those who accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior, will have the Holy Spirit dwell in their hearts, and be with them. The Holy Spirit will lead them to the path of God, and lead them to the love and righteousness of God.
Because the mouth of the heart is full, it will speak. This is all about those who have found a new life, and will have a new heart, and will borrow good fruit. In Matthew 16 -15, Jesus used the analogy of the foundation of the house to describe those who have found a new life.
Jesus called the hypocrites, those who kept the name of Jesus in their mouths, and kept calling Him, Lord, Lord, but they did not obey the words of Jesus. They did not live a new life. At the end of the day, the Lord Jesus will say to them, I have never known you.
You evil people, leave me. In order to have a new life, we need to have a new heart, and give good fruit. We also need to lay the foundation, which is our food, on the rock. The Lord Jesus is that rock.
We need to lay the foundation on the rock, and lay it on the rock. You need to read the Bible every day,.
And pray,.
And lay the foundation, day after day, on the rock, and walk with Him. Through His way, the good will come from the heart. When the test comes, when the false master appears, you will not waver, because the foundation is deeply laid on the rock.
Of course, you may be shocked by the flood, you may be scolded by others, you may be rejected, you may even cry. But on that day, because of the name of the Son of Man, you will be blessed. You will be happy, because you have a great reward in heaven.
But those who speak ill of others, they call out, Jehovah, Jehovah. They lay the beautiful, luxurious house on the rock. There is no foundation, and they can't even reach it. It is deeply laid on the rock.
You can't easily see their foundation. They speak of forgiveness and repentance, but their hearts are full of hatred. They call people to make sacrifices, but they see money above all else. They are rich, wealthy, happy, but they are the ones who have the goods.
Because when the flood comes, the beautiful, luxurious house will collapse immediately. And the damage will be great. On the Day of Judgment, their house will be badly damaged. They will be judged by the people.
We must discern the door of the Lord Jesus Christ and work in our lives, so that we can be distinguished from the world. Because we are in Him, we are given a new life. Although we can be sure that we are not perfect, and sometimes we don't even love those who love us, let alone love and hate our enemies.
But, through the door of the Lord Jesus Christ,.
His love,.
And His life, which dwells in our hearts, through His words, we can establish our foundation in this world. He teaches us to find a new life, a life of distinction. Brothers and sisters, friends, if this hasn't happened yet, what you need right now is a different heart, a heart that teaches you to find a new life, a new life of distinction.
This person is you. Thank you for listening.
