마태복음(Mat) 23장

23.03.24

37. 예루살렘아 예루살렘아 선지자들을 죽이고 네게 파송된 자들을 돌로 치는 자여 암탉이 그 새끼를 날개 아래 모음 같이 내가 네 자녀를 모으려 한 일이 몇번이냐 그러나 너희가 원치 아니하였도다

37. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

38. 보라 너희 집이 황폐하여 버린바 되리라

38. Look, your house is left to you desolate.

39. 내가 너희에게 이르노니 이제부터 너희는 찬송하리로다 주의 이름으로 오시는 이여 할 때까지 나를 보지 못하리라 하시니라

39. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”

My heart is hurting a lot as Jesus was saying about Himself who would be crucified soon. Our Father tried to gather His own people under His wings so many times as a hen  gathers her chicks, but Jews and many are not willing, rather opposing against Him until this generation, and it seems to get worse. 

Nevertheless, more sincere Christians would be saying, "Maranata!", looking forward to seeing Jesus' coming. I hope that i would preach Gospel through my mouth and through my life and i also try to live today as I live the last day. 

However, I can't avoid the arrows of Jesus' warning, "You, hypocrites!" This was the word I have used for any politicians who lied and cheated people for his or her sake, but these days, I feel like that I could be one of those, unless I don't live as I have told to. 

My heart wants but my body is weak, which could be one of my excuses. My sinful nature stops me from doing good things, such as 3p: praying, preaching and practicing the faith.

Whenever I think of Jesus' blood(피), I would try to remind the 3p and do take actions at the moment.
