A peace offering is a sacrifice of a cow, offered as a thank offering, a freewill offering, or a vow offering.
The peace offering is the only offering that is shared and eaten by the people after the sacrifice.
But there is a slightly strange rule.
The peace offering must be eaten within one or two days after the sacrifice.
If you kill one cow, the sheep are huge.
It doesn't take many people to share it.
If you look closely, you will see that in order to complete the peace offering, you have to share food with your enemy, even if it means being forced to do so.
Perhaps this is God's way of reconciling us.
In this way, it does not seem that God only accepts voluntary worship.
Sometimes, reconciliation is achieved through forced obedience.


The words that our Lord became a sacrifice of atonement really resonate deeply with me.
I get the feeling that reconciliation between God and us and between people is not so romantic or spontaneous.
But the sacrifice of obedience brought reconciliation.
What do you think? Does the idea of ​​being forced to worship still sound negative? Think of something you're forced to do.
And let's think about that as worship.
Perhaps the revolution in worship will begin unintentionally.

We think that we can please God only by doing His work with some great gift.
As a result, the reality is that I am always frustrated in front of myself who is ‘always lacking.’
There is an emptiness that cannot be filled no matter how hard you live.
But God the Father tells us that it's okay for us to be just the way we are! Because we are all truly flawed, I think that testimony resonated deeply with me.
I want to say this to all those who have dedicated their lives to God.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.
“You are a sufficient son and daughter of God.”
--- From "You Are Enough"

God's grace is not about winning battles, but about building beautiful virtues.
God's grace is not about realizing justice, but about establishing the kingdom of God.
God's grace is not about fighting against the wicked who oppose Him, but about seeing His pained heart and His tears toward them.
And in doing all this, it is grace to confess joy and gratitude that well up from deep within, rather than resentment of loss.
It is an indescribable privilege that we can enjoy God's true grace even today.
God's people are not people who do their duty, but people who enjoy privileges.
--- From "Losing is also a blessing"

When you respect God, you will see four things.
From where I stand, I see ‘God,’ I see ‘me’ praying, and I see the ‘world’ I live in.
Then wouldn't my "mission" be visible? I'm truly a shameful being before God.
So, we have no choice but to repent.
When we see the world, we cannot help but think about it, pray for it, and care for it.
The power of prayer is the force that leads us to our mission.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer said this:
“Prayer intended to be pious is an act of obscenity!” At first, I didn’t quite understand this.
But after reading it over and over again, the meaning becomes clear.
Prayer is not about showing off our piety, but about confirming and confessing that we are sinners and approaching God!
--- From "Aren't you making a fuss while praying?"

What is it that I must intentionally live by knowing the Lord? Why must I live wholeheartedly, not just drift through life? Living wholeheartedly is truly tiring.
Sometimes it may clash with the world or cause conflict.
But there is joy in living life wholeheartedly.
If joy were to disappear from our faith, wouldn't our mission have vanished as well? Wouldn't life truly be joyful when we live with the conviction that something intentional and wholehearted is for the Lord who has called us? Because of this calling that has called me to stand on the pulpit every Sunday as a pastor and preacher, I believe I must prepare the Word with all my heart.
I could just prepare and stand there, but I hope I can stand on the podium with the feeling that I have given my all for this speech.
It may be very difficult, but I hope you can find joy in the calling that has called you.
