The bosom(부점)of Father God.
John 3:16
Recently Korea is becoming the center of popular music and popular culture.
Korean popular musics, and Dramas are broadcasted in many country by Tele-vision.
Super Junior, Girl's generation, Gang nam Style, and many Korean Artist and Songs are enthusiastic in all nations.
But many artists suicide themselves in spite of they are famous and popular. Why? because they are not satisfied with the popularity.
4 years ago, Choi Jinsil The most famous artist of Korea, suicided herself and all the Korean were shocked.
In her memo pad, there were many memoes like this.
" I am lonely, I can not breathe anymore."
She was rich. her property were almost half billion 링깃. But she was always unhappy. She could not sleep without sleeping drug. She always distressed by melancholy.
There are similar(시멀러) famous woman in America. Her name was actress Marilyn Monroe.
She was loved by all the men in the world. But She suicided. and she leaved a note. there was written like this.
" I am lonely. Nobody loves me. I suicide because I am lonely."
Everyone has thirst in there heart.
But Gospel begin with the word John 3:16
"For God so loved the world"
This verse is the compressed word of all the the Bible.
When Jesus said this word, There entry two person In John.
The first character was Nicodemus and the other one is a woman living in a town called Sychar in Samaria.
Nicodemus was a congress man of Sanhedrin which was the supreme judicial and ecclesiastical council of ancient Jerusalem.
Why he visited Jesus at night? Because all his friends hated Jesus. So he came to Jesus secretly.
He was maybe richman and he was respected by all people. he was much educated man. he was successful man. But he visited Jesus at night. and want to learn about spiritual truth.
He was a teacher. but he asked to Jesus. Because he was thirst in his mind. There were no conviction about entering the kingdom of God.
Jesus taught him how to go to kingdom of God.
"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. " "You must be born again."
2. The second person was Samaritan woman in John Chapter 4
She was a vulgar woman ,
Nobody liked her. so she was lonely also. She failed 5 times' marrige
and she was living with a married man. She was a woman of low level. She has lived by her sexual desire.
But She was thirsty too. But One day She met Jesus at the well.
So. She wanted to know how to be satisfied by worship.
John4:20
"Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."
I suggest that she maybe wanted to be satisfied by worship service. so She worshipped many times, But there were no Satisfaction with the worship.
Jesus said. in John 4:24
"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in Spirit and in truth."
Nicodemo and Samaritan woman also were thirsty. Evenif we are rich or poor, successful life or failed life, High level or Low level, All the solution is coming from Holy Spirit.
Nicodemo's problem can be solved with Water and Spirit
Samaritan woman's problem also can be solved with Spirit.
Without Holy Spirit, Our Spiritual Problem is not Solved.
Because we are the Spiritual Existence. Without God's Spirit We are always thirsty. and lonely and gloomy.
Without Holy Spirit, we can not get salvation of Soul.
Without Holy Spirit, Our worship can not satisfy us.
Then Why there are so much thirst in our life?
It is because we broke away from orbit.(궤도 이탈)
If a Fish leave the water. The fish will feel thirst soon.
If we leave the law of God, we feel thirst.
In Genesis. We know the tree of knowledge.
Many youths do not understand about this tree and fruits.
They discontent why God made the tree and let us eat the fruit?
If God is love, he could cut it and people did not eat the fruits.
But This fruits has deep meaning.
This is the orbit that we must not break.
God want us be happy. If we do not break away this orbit, we can keep our happiness. But if we break away this orbit, we become unhappy.
There are much money in the bank. But you do not steal the money. Why? If we steal the money, we go to Jail and lose all our happiness.
In your neighbor there are beautiful woman. But you do not go out with her. Why? if you commit the thing, You will be killed by her husband or will be hit by your wife. You know that will be unhappy.
But there are many things to tempt us.
But when we break away our orbit, since that time we feel thirsty.
God said to Adam not to eat the fruits. God told him.
"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." (Genesis2:17)
If we obeyed God, Adam and Eve would be happy.
But Serpent said to Eve.
"You will not surely die,"(Genesis 3:4)
"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." "(Genesis 3:5)
Eating the fruits means to challenge to God.
We can not be God. Because we are human. Adam and Eve trespassed the God's Area.
There are many fake Christs in Korea.
If their Church become a big Church, and Every people respect the pastor, and Many miracles appeared in the Church, He become arrogant. He thinks that he is like a God. At that time, Satan seduce him. "You are God. You are Second coming Christ."
So many christian leaders make another religion and persist in that himself is true God.
It is similar(시멀러) to eat the fruits of knowledge.
Like that there are many kind of things that we must not trespass.
If your souls are thirsty now, maybe You also have broken away this orbit.
Then how can we be recovered?
1. We must realize the reason why we are thirst.
If we are bodily thirsty, It's simple to solve. Only by water it can be solved.
But spiritual thirst can not be solved by water, Somebody uses alcohol, drugs, or sex. money. by plastic operation.
Not right description.
This is a woman who used 10 million RM for her plastic operation.
But her face became very ugly.
In Korea a beautiful singer also started plastic operation for beautiful body. and after 20 years she became very very ugly also.
Stop to try silly attempt.
In the Bible there is correct answer.
In Luke 15: there is a prodigal.
He leaved father's house with much money and went to foreign country.
. He thought that if he become free from father he would be happy. If he has much money, He would be happy, If he has many girl friends, he would be happy.
but he spent all the money and became a beggar, and be hungry, and at last he was eating the food of pigs.
At last, he realized the reason why he is suffering.
Luke 15:17-18
When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
He find out his mistakes. His fault was leaving Father.
If he was in Father's house, He would be happy. So he cried and repented. and he returned to his father.
But if his father do not welcome him what shall he does? so he thought.
Luke 15:18-19
I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.'
He was afraid of father because of his much sin. so he became humble and returned to his father's house.
Yes, with humble mind returning to God is first solution for our spiritual thirst.
2. At second, We must experience father's warm bosom.
Since he leaved home, Everyday Father was waiting him through opened window. and when he found his second son coming back, he ran out from his house and hugged his son with his wide bosom.
God is love. Even if we are sinner God is waiting us and hug us.
Father did not scold us, Father did not ask where is all the money, where did you spend the money. Father only rejoiced because of his returned son.
If we experience God's love waiting us, and hugging love of God, we will feel Spiritual satisfaction.
there is no thirst and we will be happy. do you want to experience?
There was a man in Korea. He was violent man like a dictator.
One day his wife began to go to Church. He everyday hit her with drinking and insulted her. But she always attended church.
He thought church is very bad place. He thought church makes all wives arrogant and disobey to his husband.
One early morning, he awaked early. there was not his wife at home. He was angry and ran to church to arrest his wife and hit her.
But when he entered the church he found his wife was praying with weeping for her husband. he was frozen for a long time and hearing her wife's praying. And he also felt Father God's wide lovely bosom. and he became a new christian also. Now he became a sincere deacon than his wife.
If we experience God's Bosom there is no thirst, no sadness.
If Choi jinsil and Marilin Monroe experienced God's love. they need not to suicide.
Ironically Choi jinsil's funeral was held by Christian style in the church. why? before he attended a church during two years.
Church is not the place to hold funeral for suicided members.
Church is the place to solve their problem. and make them happy, make them no need to suicide. For two years what the church did for her?
If the church lose the spiritual power, Many christian attend the church everyday but controled by devils and not become happy.
They do not experience Father God's lovely wide Bosom. and die at the pig's farm by starvation.
Our thirst is not solved by Money,
Our thirst is not solved by plastic operation.
Our thirst is not solved by popularity
Our thirst is not solved by academic clique
Our thirst is not solved by Good husband, beautiful wife.
Only in the wide Bosom of Father God we can find the satisfaction.
