Do Not Swear at All Matthew 5:33-37 There is an old Chinese saying “Gak-joo-goo-geom (刻舟求劍).” A man was crossing the river on a boat, and on the way, he dropped his sword into the river. In order to find his sword, he wanted to mark the spot where the sword fell down. Then he marked the spot on the boat. As a matter of course, the boat keeps moving forward, getting far away from the spot where t..

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Today’s text is the 4th of the Eight Beatitudes that Jesus preached in his Sermon on the Mount.

God Who Is Slow to Anger 2Samuel 24:1-25 We can say that 1/2 Samuel is the biography of King David. Most of the historical books in the Bible open with “the news of king’s death.” Joshua begins with “After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord” (Joshua 1:1), Judges with “After the death of Joshua” (Judges 1:1), 2Samuel with “After the death of Saul” (2Samuel 1:1), and 2Kings with “After Aha..

God Who Blesses the House of His Servant 2Samuel 7:1-29 The theme of today’s word is “house.” We can see that the word “house” appears many times in today’s text. A house basically means a building structure in which people dwell, but in a broader sense, it means the people living in the house and their properties, power, honor, and so on. Accordingly, “my house” is “greater I” that comprehends ..

David Found Strength in His God 1Samuel 30 People say, “A good friend is like a mirror.” It is because such a friend reflects you perfectly as you are. When I read the Books of Samuel, I feel that David is a mirror on which his God is reflected vividly. Through David’s life, the Lord is presented to us as living God. In his Beatitudes as well, Jesus says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they..

How to Overcome the World 1Samuel 18-20 A Christian’s life can be explained in many different ways, and one of them is that a Christian’s life is “overcoming the world.” During his last days on earth, Jesus said to his disciples: “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33b). Jesus said that he had overcome the world. This is not just for Jesus. ..

The Lord Looks at the Heart Samuel 16 Today’s text of the Bible tells us the story that God, through his prophet Samuel, called and anointed David as the new king of Israel. David, along with Abraham, is the most respected person in the history of Israel. While Abraham was the founder of the People of Israel, David was the founder of the Kingdom of Israel. In the genealogy of Jesus Christ at the..

The Ark of God’s Covenant 1Samuel 4:1-11 If I have to tell one main theme that is penetrating through all the stories and teachings in the Bible, I would say it is “God’s presence and His guidance.” That is, the word of God records how God dwelt among his people and led them through His ways. God’s presence and guidance is so faithful. It is always good, and wise, and merciful. God is mighty, cr..
