[Message] Pastor Jung Myeong Seok
[Scriptures] Matthew 22: 37-40
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
When Almighty God, Holy Spirit and Holy Son, choose people, do you know what they consider as the key quality in selecting them? No matter what time period it is and no matter who they are, They choose based on love.
<The capital and resources of love> come from the heart and thoughts. Since everyone has the heart and thoughts from which love ensues, they are all equal in the eyes of God.
Also, since every single person has the heart and thoughts from which love ensues, no one can make excuses before God, such as, “I can’t do it because I am not educated. I can’t do it because I am ugly. I can’t do it because I am short. I can’t do it because I have no money.” God does not choose people based on knowledge, appearance, height, academic background, money or fame.
He sees love as the core and chooses based on only that one thing: love. Love is the core and the purpose.
Just as you buy a field because of the treasure hidden in it, God buys the field of life called that person based on love. Love that does not change, love that is not false but true, love that is spiritual, love that does not deceive, love that does not betray, love that does not turn its back in any situation, love that is the same as the first love... God chooses and uses people based on such love. Therefore, I bless all of you to realize this Word and love in this way!
[God] gives both blessings and missionsbased on love. Now that I have taught you that God selects and chooses based on love, I bless you to make this Word yours and to truly live your life loving the Trinity.
