He stares at the Passion and the Cross and walks straight to it. He doesn't think about anything else. But on the contrary, if he thinks something is his mission and divides only those who are related to it into neighbors, then inconvenient things will come out again. In this case, he ends up thinking of his neighbor very formally and clerically. Furthermore, it becomes like a utilitarianism of selfishness that values ​​only what you think is your job. This is not very impressive. It's a cold feeling that everyone who helps for the work I want to do is my neighbor, and everyone who doesn't go somewhere. This is also a coldness not seen in Christ. There are various ways of life for people. There is no choice but to kick up a fuss about what kind of life is good or bad. Utilitarianism or living for the sake of ourselves is by no means bad. But at that time, it's a shame if you lose track of your neighbor. This is because there is a madness in this most important part of who the person lives his life for and for whom he devotes his life. 8) No one can easily identify his true neighbor. Not all of them are neighbors if they are nearby. There is no such thing as a handy guide to distinguishing neighbors. In other words, even if you think directly about who is your neighbor and who is not, you will not get a clear answer. It is easier to understand if you look at it from another place more indirectly than that. From the depth of life I mentioned earlier, One day, I can see the neighbors who come to receive my life. To meet a neighbor is to meet Jesus Christ. Then, almost none of the Jews at that time who saw and heard Christ directly saw Christ, the Son of God. Everyone knew that Jesus was the child of a poor carpenter in Nazareth. However, he did not try to understand that it was Christ, the Son of God. "The world was made by him, but the world did not know him. He came to himself, but the people did not accept him." (John 1; 10-11). He didn't know that the person he saw every day was Christ, the Son of God. So the same is true for neighbors. nearby. I hear the voice every day and look at the face. Still I don't know. "The one you don't know is standing in you." (John1; 26). He is that person. It was 9) So what is the indirect way to a neighbor? This lies between the following two things. From one side, it is important not to neglect the field of work that one should work on first, and not to be narrowly bound by it, at each person's time and place. In other words, it should be continued to do the necessary flesh in a broad sense around my non-existent work. Although I must pay full of my duty-bound to do, it is not enough to play around with the rest of your life. In a sense, the work itself may be boring. However, with that as the center, I will continue to make efforts to broaden and greatly expand my life and build it up abundantly. While doing this, on the other hand, it is important not to lock yourself in another sense of narrowness. It's a narrow heart that limits me to the work I'm doing and the people I'm doing now. This is not to be a versatile human being, which is often misunderstood. Not being narrow does not mean that you can do anything from academics to arts, work, play, sports, and even errands. Is my heart open if I can do anything? Not really. Rather, being able to do something has nothing to do with the openness of the mind. It is a dream of a person who does nothing to be able to do anything. What I want to say here is something else. If for some reason I have to do something that I couldn't think of before, I'll try to do something about it. Most of the time, I don't even look at it, saying that I can't do it, and I don't feel like doing it, even if I'm forced to do it. This is the narrowness of my heart. It's a kind of impatience. I don't know what will happen in the future, but rather I don't want to leave the place I'm used to. I want the strength of my heart that I can't be dragged by this weakness. This is also the breadth of the heart. You don't look directly at who your neighbor is. Rather, we will continue to make efforts in the two aspects we have seen so far. It may seem to have nothing to do with your neighbors. However, the neighbors can only be understood there. Other than that, I can't think of a way for people to meet their neighbors. In other words, the neighbor If you know who you are, then do something to that person It is impossible to do it. By all means, "The one you don't know is you You must be prepared to stand in the direction of you ”(John 1; 26). Chapter 11 Incarnation Sacred Mysteries

6) There are two things here: God's providence, the mission of life that gradually becomes clear to the person, or the work of a lifetime. From the relationship between these two things, we can see who is the person's neighbor. However, neither of these is clear from the beginning. As each other strives to live in the other, the fog gradually becomes apparent. This is the interaction earlier. 7) You cannot divide who your neighbor is by just one of providence and mission. It is certainly easy to divide by only one, and it is easy to give a simple answer. But if you do that, you won't know your neighbor. The person in front of you may be a true neighbor, but you may not notice it, or you may be caught by someone who is not your neighbor. Of course, that doesn't mean that the history of the world will change or that the fate of the person will change that much. However, it is a pity when I think about it, as the encounter with God leads to a true neighbor. First of all, if you connect your neighbor to God's providence, anyone who can approach you will be a providence person sent by God. Of course, there is no madness in providence. It is certain that providence works there as well. But whether it is the providence of being a neighbor is a question. It is a misunderstanding of providence that all nearby people are neighbors. The Lord Jesus isn't really that way either. It doesn't matter who you are, and if you're close, you can't say that you're a neighbor. Secondly, one cannot divide a neighbor only by his or her lifelong work or mission. Of course, we must think about our neighbors based on the mission that we should fulfill for the rest of our lives. But this depends a lot on how well a person knows his mission. It's easy if you're old enough to know your mission. But in reality, it doesn't work that well. The mission of a lifetime is not so clear until it is about to die. Of course, you may know that it's what you do for a job that requires some knowledge or unavoidable work. But it's still not a conviction of the mind. If it's another better story, I might stop doing it right away. No matter what happens, we all have to spend a lot of time ripening in our daily lives until we can really devote ourselves to our mission until we die. In the meantime, you may gradually realize that what you thought was your mission was not. I was wondering, but sometimes it's my life's job. Even if it is the same thing, there are times when I wake up as if this was the case. It was If this is divided by only one side, the person's life itself will be cramped and miserable. When it comes to providence alone, the whole life ends up being an ad hoc, busy thing, with a silly explanation that it is also God's providence. When we meet people, they become neighbors guided by God's providence. No matter what I ask, if I don't listen to it, I'm worried that I'll be overlooked when I come to God later. If you don't mind forever, you'll just be chasing your own safety. I think it's safer to listen to whatever anyone says. Well, it's a kind of self-protection. In the end, I don't really think about it. More and more, it will be sick. The life and death of Jesus Christ in the Bible was never such a crisp one. It's cleaner. He stares at the Passion and the Cross and walks straight toward him. God does not thinking I don't think about anything else.

Four

⁽ Four⁾ Here is the combined action of the two, or something like a synergistic action. Let's consider this in a little more detail. How do humans understand their missions? Not everyone knows from the beginning the work and profession that is the mission of their life, and the people they will live with. For example, many people died in the war. Did these people think their mission was to die that way? Some of them may have been like that. However, I think there were more people who did not. Depending on the movements of society and the times, especially the circumstances at that time, what the person will do and how he will die will gradually be decided. Even a single illness can significantly change a person's destiny. Until then, I thought it was my life to work well. I gradually give up and realize that it was my mission to endure the suffering of illness. No matter who lives a person's life, it is definitely incorporated into God's providence. There is no such thing as a life that deviates from God's providence. If you live that day with as much effort as you can, you will gradually understand what your mission is. On the other hand, unless God's providence appears in our daily lives and we do it seriously, we will not only abandon our lifelong mission. There are some things that are lacking in how to treat yourself with the cage. (5) The same can be said about the mission and course of a person's life from the providence side. What happens to God's providence is not like a script in which everything is decided in advance. There are difficult problems here: time and eternity, the grace of God and the freedom of man. Therefore, there are many things that I do not understand about God's providence. But here is a certain fact. God respects human freedom. God is calling on people from the bottom of his heart. If everything is decided and you can't move anything, you don't have to bother calling. According to the Bible, God is seriously calling on people. Perhaps the person being called has the freedom to hear God's call and then decide. The fate predestination is not the correct faith of the Catholic Church. This is clear from the Council of Trent's resolution on justification. Therefore, God's providence, which measures the entire life of a person, is not something that God decides, no matter what he wants or does, regardless of what he wants or does. .. It does not convey the heart of God's providence as it is. As a matter of fact, God's providence becomes a reality for each person only after he has been serious about his life and working on it. So, if you know your lifelong mission, you can't think of doing it seriously, but letting it play until then. As he works on his life, he gradually becomes aware of it. If you don't do anything, you won't know anything. It cannot be said that it will be taken seriously after it is understood. Whether you're bad or bad, you have to start seriously. It's a big deal.

A Stranger

Eight; A stranger (John1; 26) (1) If you think about what you have done so far, you will separate your neighbors from those who are not. If it's a neighbor, I'll go with you forever. Speaking of fifty steps, one hundred steps, and speaking of underwear, even the jacket is handed over, and finally one's own life is thrown away for that person. But even when he's nearby, he has to throw it away and go his own way. In some cases. It is unthinkable that everyone who appears in front of you is a neighbor in the same way and randomly interacts with them. Such a thing does not come out from the faith in God's providence. (2) But then, who is the neighbor and who is not the neighbor for me? I can't find any convenient principle or principle to easily distinguish this. However, as a rough guide here, two things can be considered. One is God's providence. The other is the lifelong mission that God gives to each person. In an effort to take both of you seriously and try to live in one, you will gradually find out who your neighbor is. (3) Christ sees the people around him from there, centering on his suffering and death on the cross. But at the same time, he did not narrowly consider his mission, the salvation of mankind, only to the final suffering and the cross. Before that happens, Christ is doing his best to prevent the people from being sad enough to kill God. In the case of Christ, depending on how he thought about it, he could have thrown it out from the beginning. Everyone refuses to believe at all. In the end, it's just a matter of Christ put on himsef and dying. Also, if you die, it will save the world, so it doesn't make much sense to call on everyone to convert before that. Think this way and throw it out. However, Jesus has not been thrown out. "For a while, the light will be with you. Walk in the presence of the light so that you can't catch up with the darkness .......... Believe in the light to be a child of the light in the presence of the light "(John 12 35-36). Indeed, Christ was certainly suffering and crucified to death (Luke 24; 26). However, this "must be the case, and there is no other way" has gradually become clear in the heart of Jesus as Christ calls for salvation. It is a thing. No matter how much Christ, the Son of God, did not know everything about his life from the beginning. It wasn't a lifetime like just following a fixed place like a movie scenario. Jesus of Nazareth is not a puppet.

Neighbor and non- neighbors

Western Europe suddenly became warm from this time. Agriculture is progressing there, and the population is rapidly increasing. At the same time, they were able to afford to live. The growth of the economy at that time was remarkable. They could afford sent out the Crusaders many times at a ridiculous cost, and still had room. It was from this time that huge churches began to rise in small towns and villages in West Europe. In other words, this abundance and leeway supported the lives and activities of many monks living in Mendicity. Trust in God's providence, get rid of everything you have, get food and clothes, and walk. This is not something anyone can do. God specially calls a person and gives him the power and courage to live that way. It is only possible to do it on the basis of that grace. However, in order to make the most of this specially blessed person and fulfill his mission, many people need to work around him. In other words, the society must be able to afford to support the lives of people who do not work to eat. In other words, they are people who work as much as they do. It is not possible to link brotherhood or neighbor love to God's providence to think easily and irresponsibly. When everyone starts to wear it, who will feed them?

The first saint in the medieval church is St. Francisco (1182-1226) in Assisi. This saint began a poor life as the Bible says. He has neither two pieces of underwear nor two pairs of straw shoes, and of course, no money or wallet. He was completely unique, and every time he needed something, he slammed and walked to towns and villages. Eventually, many people gather around the saints and live the same unique life. However, in order for these people to be able to eat and eat, there was one premise in the society around them. It is the change in the climate of Europe from the 11th century to the 12th century.

・ This shows that the Lord Jesus was thinking about something else in the proximity of a nearby person and a neighbor when thinking about his neighbor. Even in Matthew's Chapter 6, Petro is the one who entrusted Christ with all his church. "I will build my church on this rock (Petra)" (Matthw 16; 18). The Lord gives this Petro the key to open the gates of heaven (19). Why was Christ called the devil for this Petro? There is an important break here. In Matthew's passage, only five verses are separated from the belief that a church is built on Petra to give it the key to heaven, to the point where the same Petro is called "Satan" by evil spirits. For that reason, those who read here are surprised at the extreme change in the feelings of Christ, the Son of God, for Petro. I can't really confirm how these two things actually worked. For that reason, the idea of ​​a person who was surprised to put these two things side by side is quite common. In particular, the change in Christ's call to Petro feels like a pick. Thus, the axis of this violent transition seems to be the mission of the Savior of the Lord Jesus. Christ, the Son of God, has no plans or conveniences of his own. What was sent by Heavenly Father, I was Christ's whole and life. Christ went straight on the road sent by his son's father. From this time on, Jesus Christ showed his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer a lot from elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be resurrected on the third day. It was started "Matthew (16-21). That was all of the christ ・ "from this time". At that time, there seemed to be a lot of terrible rumors about Christ and John, the washer. The Lord is surprised to hear what he says, but he doesn't seem to be angry, he takes it quietly without getting angry. "John comes and eats and drinks. If you don't, it's said to be haunted by ghosts. And when the Son of Man comes and eats and drinks, behold, it's a devourer, a heavy drinker, and a fellow tax collector and sinner. But if you really think about it, you can tell if it really is. "(Matthew11; 18-19) This is also a difficult sentence if you think about it. Did Christ really eat and drink with the "publicans and sinners" as everyone had told him? In the Gospel, it is written as if it was quite noticeable. It is said that many people will stay at Zakeo's house, which is a dubious tax collector and a rich man. It's no wonder everyone thinks they're wrong and makes bad rumors. From the current wisdom, this is Jesus's careless and not very clever. Even if it is rumored that it is only heavy sake, it will be a failure of the person. You should even avoid talking with people who are even more suspicious. However, Christ doesn't care about that. Without thinking about what everyone thinks of me, I am dedicated to aiming for something else. This other thing, it is sure to suffer a lot, be killed, and be resurrected on the third day. "

[spookysharkwonderland]

Neighbors and non-neighbors As we've seen, you can't just say your neighbor is a close person, and you can't decide on the distance between each other. Christ doesn't talk to him indiscriminately or listen to anything he asks for. But still, he doesn't avoid some sort of less impressed person. The Gospels describe the Bachelor of Laws and the Farizais of the time as the very nasty people who deliberately harass Christ. But then, did Christ hate and shy away from these people? Not really. I can't find any sentences that give the fact of avoidance. Of course, Christ is a very strict word and opposes the way of life and way of thinking of the Bachelor of Laws and the Farizai people. But harsh is the same for his disciples. Shu is very terrible at Petro 𠮟. "Retract, Satan. I don't think of God who disturbs me. I think of only people" (Matthew 16; 23). This call to "Satan" is extremely strict. Speaking of fools to their brothers, they are handed over to Congress, and speaking of fools, they are thrown into the fire of hell (Matthew 5; 22). However, Satan (devil) is incomparably tighter towards people. Christ says to his number one disciple, "Satan."

[spookysharkwonderland]

Also, people must take great care of God's heartfelt call to himself, who does not speak to everyone in the same way. People must take great care of the heartfelt call from God to others. This call from God to others does not force people to just pull them towards their tastes and desires. There is a foundation on which people can live with God in this world and live as they wish. This is the distance that is protected against the person from God. Humans are different. I feel unhappy when I don't get what I want. God does not try to reduce this distance at his own convenience. It was waiting until the time came, so the disciples at that time didn't understand what Christ was saying or how he felt. Jesus lamented at his Last Supper that he still didn't understand. "Firippo, I've been with you for so long, but I still don't know" (John 14; 9). However, will Christ hold a special training seminar for the disciples who do not understand it? Actually nothing is done. Do as much as you can to call his disciples friends and leave his sheep to them. He then silently dies quietly on the cross. He isn't really doing anything. It was nothing for Christ, the Son of God, to cause some minor miracles and force his disciples to do things. But Jesus is quietly waiting until the time comes. His disciples didn't know such a Christ. We are still arguing ugly about who will be great. Jesus is watching over it warmly. In the case of Jesus, there is no chance that if you do not understand this much, you will not be able to see it, you will be forced to understand it, or you will be cold and dismissed. This is the warm distance of the Son of God kept to man. God does not take the closeness of this calculation, which is to use it as much as possible. And yet, if you don't hear me, I don't know what you're saying, and I'm not going away from this distance. We are quietly and warmly waiting for people to grow up freely in the breath of the spirits. In the meantime, if there is anything I can do, I will be happy. I don't do it, I don't give it up. On the contrary, "serving", that is, letting me do it, makes God truly happy. This is the distance of love and respect that Christ, the Son of God, keeps for the people. "I still have a lot to say to you, but you I can't stand it now. But when the spirit of psychology comes, it will guide you to all the truths "John 16; 12-13). The salvation of this world owes much to the sagging of this distance. Christ isn't trying to tell people who don't understand or don't understand. But that doesn't mean that it's your responsibility to not understand, so you don't have to let go of it. Try as hard as you can, and don't get too noisy. He fully respects the limits of people. That's fine It will be a noisy coercion or violence. God stays there. Christ stops going any further and silently puts himself in the hands of the people. Everyone messed up this Christ Resulting in. The Son of God is crucified and the salvation of man is done. This is Paul's ritual of God. "Everyone has sinned, so he no longer receives the glory of God. All are justified by the grace of God for nothing but the redemption of Christ Jesus. It was to show the righteousness of God. That is, God had patience to overlook the sins committed so far, to show God's righteousness at this time "(Rome3; 23-26).

[spookysharkwonderland]

I'm not saying this is good or bad now. Everyone is doing that, and if you don't do that to a certain extent, you can't do anything. That is the world. "Because all have sinned in this way, death has entered all mankind" (Rome 5; 12). But God is different. God isn't trying to take this closeness, like ticks, to eat and keep away from people. Always a little away. From there, with respect and love for others, he sincerely wishes for his happiness. A god who stops at a distance like this and does not approach the other person any more is said to be cold. But that doesn't happen. God doesn't do anything. But does he really do nothing? it is not. God died for man. "Even for the right person, it is unlikely that he will give up his life for it. No, for the good, some may be willing to die. But Christ died for us, even though we were still sinners. It showed God's love for us "(Rome 5; 7-8). In this way, things in the wilderness well express God's feelings toward humans. Christ never tries to reduce this distance. Stone He refuses to take advantage of human "eye greed, flesh greed, life pride" by changing to bread. The path of Christ, the Son of God, is the path to call people head-on, the path to decent favor and understanding. However, calling from the front is actually very difficult. As much as possible about the kingdom of God, the church, and salvation Say only the convenient parts that attract the other person's attention, hide the inconvenient parts, even if you say it in a quiet voice, as much as possible Don't do that kind of sly thing to go unnoticed. Talk as it is, and then seek understanding and cooperation. In fact, when explaining the kingdom of God, Christ clearly states that it is quite difficult to say. It is said that if he becomes a disciple, he will be expelled from the people, and even his close friends will be seen with strange eyes, hated, and sometimes killed. Is there anyone who is willing to follow such a thing? No matter what advertisement or information you see I didn't write that. But Christ has both good and bad sides. Everything is said as it is. After that, everyone said that they didn't hide it, so I want them to understand. "I don't call you me anymore, because I don't know what my husband is doing. I call you friends. Everything I hear from my father, you I have informed you that you will love one another "(John 1; 15; 12-17). At this John's place, it is said that Christ is not calling out to anyone in such a way. "You did not choose me. I chose you. And you stood up" (John16). This choice is not a matter of choice. It means to think deeply about who to call what and to think carefully. The disciples were only selected. He says he is following the Lord. I can't think of anything like credit. Born in this world Chosen by Christ's disciples, all of which were given by God. As a disciple, there is nothing I can be proud of. So you have to be prepared to abandon this reality and live in Christ.

[spookysharkwonderland]

A poor man became a disciple of Christ. Christ preached the kingdom of God everywhere and healed everyone's illness. The disciples who were watching by their side may have felt that they were also great. It is natural for human beings. The problem, however, lies in the difference between this feeling of the disciples and the feeling of Christ, the Son of God who became a person. Who is the greatest? Isn't it natural for any human being to think about this much? The disciples are also human. However, Christ sees this and warns him tightly. "If anyone wants to be the first, he must be the last and serve everyone" (Mark 9; 35). As you know, the Gentile rulers rule over their people, and the greats wield power. But you must not. On the contrary, what you want to be great among you must be a servant, and if you want to be a head, you must be everyone's servant. The Son of Man came not to be served. To serve everyone, and to give his life in the absence of many people's redemption "(Matthew 20; 25-28). What I would like to think about here is that Christ, the Son of God, was humble. It does not mean that he teaches his disciples humility. There will be that too. But here, the feelings towards the man of God The difference, which is far from the feelings of people toward people, is more apparent. Here, it is said that God came to this world because he served everyone rather than serving others. However, humans are not. Most of the time, I prefer being served by people rather than serving others. God's feelings are completely different from human feelings. I would like to think a little more about this difference. There are many ways to say this. For example, you can think about the relationship of distance with the other person. Whether you can be close to the person you live with, first forgive yourself, your way of life, and help and encourage it. Or, just stick to that person, get the other person at your own pace, and use as much as you can. This difference, this is the difference between "serving" and "serving". God is not the one who uses people for his own benefit. He is a person who serves people in order to achieve their own way of life, even if he returns to his own life. He is not the one who "sieves and governs power" over people. It is the "Gentile ruler" who does that. Keep people trapped and keep them out of the way as much as possible. He keeps a thick wall around him and keeps an eye on him so he doesn't run away. The Gentile ruler, the watchman. A trapped person can't live except to be compliant.

[spookysharkwonderland]

God first speaks to people. He has helped the Israelites with his powerful work. He finally becomes a person. Then he silently received his painful destiny as a human god. Reading these things in the Bible feels like a matter of course. The trial, the cross, and the end. It's a story I've heard for 2,000 years. No one thought it was strange. However, when thinking about the relationship between people in this world, the suffering and death of God who became this person is almost unthinkable. What is the relationship between people in this world? It is usually the result of power and power. The Bible calls this "the greed of the eyes, the greed of the flesh, the pride of life." This proud person cannot be looked down upon if he is lowly and unbearable. This is also the work of God's imagination, a masterpiece. But Jesus Christ didn't come to live that way. The disciples were initially thinking about how to live as a normal human being. As we all walked, the Lord sometimes asked his disciples, "What were you discussing along the way?" ((Mark 9; 33). They were silent. " They couldn't answer. "It was because we were arguing with each other on the way who was the greatest" (Mark 34). After all, talent, a family social standing, sharp head, arms, and culture were problems. Who is better than anyone and who is inferior. I was interested in it here. I can't blame these disciples. Rather, as a human being, that is the way to live.

[spookysharkwonderland]

(5) Finally, there is a big expression of the heart of Christ Jesus, the Son of God. When he began his public life, the Lord fasted forty days and forty nights in the wilderness and was "hungry." Someone tries there and sets up three temptations. ① Turn the stone into bread to show that you are a child of God. ➁ Otherwise, jump off the top of the city temple. ③ Or worship the devil and make the glory and power of this world your own (Matthew4; 1-11) People are always clamoring for bread. Only the one who gives bread to a person can rule the person. Also, a person with extraordinary ability who can use even an angel can turn the world around. In any case, if a person can't be surprised, he can't go out into the world. You can't at least jump off the roof of the temple. Even more clearly, with wealth and power, everything is at your disposal. Even if you worship the devil, it would be better to own wealth and power. But Christ rejects it altogether. "Satan is good. Worship your Lord God and serve only God" (Matthew10). Was there really a temptation of the wilderness? This is a matter of biblical studies. However, as long as the Bible conveys this, it must have been said in the Early Christianity. In fact, the root of the feelings of the Lord Jesus towards the person is often seen here. Feelings for the man of God. How did God make people? God "made a man in the shape of his" (Genesis 1; 26). God himself became a person. (John1; 14). Then he will be crucified himself and save the world with his own death. When you think of the size of the god of absolute infinity, the god of omnipotence and omnipotence, and the humbleness of a miserable human being who is infinitely small, it is almost unimaginable. The great god cherishes every single human being who is infinitely lowly, even if he replaces his own life.

Jesus to withdraw

H Jesus to withdraw (4) People have gathered and tried to keep the Lord Jesus together. Then the Lord went away, saying, "I must preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to other towns and villages" (Luke 4; 43). "The crowd hunted around and gathered and stopped" (Like 42). The crowd is said to have searched. This is strange. Even if people are gathering at the lower limit in a big city, if it's about 50 people calling their names and searching for someone, People around there must be surprised at what happened. I don't really know how many people this Luke calls. However, 10 or 20 people cannot be called a crowd. Certainly, several times as many people gathered and stopped. You just have to stay there for a little longer, preach about the kingdom of God, and solidify your faith. I should have left at least a few disciples and made one at the branch. However, in the feeling that such things are totally received from the Gospels, there is no such thing as gathering the number of people in Christ at that time. Everyone seems to have gathered naturally. I don't really understand this area. In any case, Jesus Christ has settled down in one place and is not trying to spread the teachings of salvation from there. The Lord says to a scribe who wants to be a disciple, "The fox always has a hole, the bird in the sky has a nest, but the son of man has no place to sleep." From this point of view, I don't think Christ stayed in one place for a long time during his public life. The Lord taught his neighbor to walk up to 100 steps, if he said 50 steps. But he must have often left him, even though he was detained. No, in some cases he must have been placed to leave the more detained. No, in some cases, the more he is detained, the more he leaves to shake it off. I don't feel like I'm sick. Is God that kind of person? At the last moment, he sticks to Jerusalem persistently. But other than that, he might have deliberately avoided being involved in one place until the end. "I must preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to other towns and villages. I was sent for that." So did the Lord go to the next place, even if he tried to shake off the people who held him back? The same is true for Paul. Paul is also from Corinth and Ephesus I'm not trying to stay in the church forever. He is taking the opportunity to leave. This may be a great thing because it is a fruitful work for the kingdom of God.

Jesus to Withdraw

(2) "Jesus was alone and retreated to the mountains, knowing that people were coming and trying to seize him and make him king (John6; 15). It's not that hard to be a big success in the world if you can get the act and cooperation. At the end of the Roma Empire, a slightly more powerful general took his subordinates and even nominated them. He could easily become an emperor, and in the case of Jesus, everyone was willing to do that, and he himself said he was a king elsewhere (John18; 37). But nevertheless, the Lord is alone at this time and is quickly withdrawing. Christ did not intend to fulfill his mission as a Savior in the way everyone normally thinks. (3) "Why don't you leave here and go to Judea to show your work to his disciples? No one works in hiding. Show yourself clearly to the world. ”This is what his brothers said when he advised Christ to go to Jerusalem. Distrust of Jesus oozes out here. "This is because the brothers didn't believe in Jesus either." Jesus was dodging at this time. "My time hasn't come yet. You must go to the festival. I won't go to this festival because my time isn't full yet" (John 7; 1-9). The Lord just "stayed in Galaria." But after his brothers went to the festival, Jesus went secretly, too. (John7-10). So Jesus intended to go up to Jerusalem from the beginning. But he didn't like being with people who were tempting him. The brothers "did not believe in Jesus" (ibid. 5). But even so, Jesus has a close blood connection with these people. Jesus avoids those people. This is a bit surprising, for those who simply think that everyone who is close is a neighbor and should accept everything. You don't need two pieces of underwear or a wallet, you can sell nothing to the church and give it to the poor, and it's very easy to do as the Bible says. But there is a problem here. It's not that this idea is good or bad. What is important is what the Bible actually teaches and what it is trying to say. The Bible does not think of something so simple. No one indiscriminately says that everyone nearby is a neighbor. Then, the question then arises, what should we think about our neighbors?
