Luke 6: 37-49

(Luke 6: 37-49) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Jesus explains the judge. If you murder, you will be judged. Like physical murder, if you interfere with the work of saving the spirit, you become a murderer. The Bible says that those who interfere with the saving of the spirit are judged. It refers to physical and spiritual murder. The murder that speaks to an old man is a physical murder, but the murder that Jesus speaks of refers to a spiritual murder. Brothers are those who become one in Christ.

However, by the antagonism between the brethren who should be one in Christ, when they become angry and criticize each other, eventually the critic will attack the spirit in Christ, resulting in spiritual murder. Those who are born again are spiritual beings. When a spiritual being judges a spiritual being, it can be disrespectful to God. So, you have to reconcile with your brother. So, Jesus said many times to love his brother. Brothers are spiritual brothers. They are one in the kingdom of God.

We must forgive our brothers. Forgiveness is very difficult. In particular, forgiving someone who has caused failure, suffering, and wounds in our lives cannot be in the life of the flesh, but only retaliation. This is what Satan aims for. Because if we do not forgive our brothers, we go to the seat of the judge. In the end, it means "to go to the place where you want to be like God." That's what Satan said to Eve and tempted her to have a desire to be like God, and the serpent (Satan) tempted, "If you eat the fruit of a tree that knows good and evil, you become like God."

If you do not forgive others, Satan makes them like God. There is a scary Satanic strategy. So Satan wants to retaliate. Satan wants to knock over people. The Lord sends us to forgive in the end. In the Lord's Prayer of Matthew 6, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 』

Jesus gave one more example of sin, one of which was to cancel the debt of ten thousand talents. Although the king forgave ten thousand debts, the man did not forgive some denarions of others, so the king nullified the man's ten thousand debts. In order for us to be forgiven of sins from God, the Lord gives us the people we need to forgive. The king ordered him to go to jail before paying off his ten thousand talents. So, there are two analogies. It is to pay off debts and forgive debts. It means that if you don't pay off your debt, you will be in prison.

If you don't forgive someone who blocked or misled someone else and hurt you, we're going to jail. The mind is locked in prison. There is an invisible theme behind our frustrating and hard work. You cannot forgive what you have to forgive. If we cannot forgive, our spiritual beings are put in prison.

Luke 1: 39-56

(Luke 1: 39-56) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me grea...

Luke 1: 27-38

(Luke 1: 27-38) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:...

Luke 1: 1-26

(Luke 1: 1-26) Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his cour...
