СЛУЖЕНИЕ ЦЕРКВИ Today I want to continue meditating on the words of Scripture: Jesus said to him: so much time have I been with you, and you don't know Me, Philip? Jn. 14: 9. Recently, two weeks ago, we pondered these words and talked about the fact that it is easier to know that God, who is with us, than the one about whom the Scripture speaks of as being within us. But today I want to draw our attention to something else, to how we, being gathered together by the Lord into the church, recognize (or know) each other. Getting to know another person is one of the most interesting and exciting things to do, however, until we find in his character that which disgusts us, we happily get to know each other, but only until we meet with something that we consider wrong. Let's remember childhood, remember our youth, how we were open to new relationships, how easily we got along with people. But then, over the years, we found again and again that when we get closer to a person, we discover something that begins to destroy our relationship. And the "security protocol" can be as follows: either avoid new relationships altogether, or "keep your distance", not get closer, so as not to get hurt. And the first option leads us to isolation, and the second to superficial relationships that do not have depth, and we can call such relationships acquaintance, but not friendship, and of course we will not consider them something valuable to ourselves, because in difficult times these “Acquaintances” will definitely not come to support us, they are only interested in us as long as everything is fine with us and the Lord describes such a relationship as follows: How can you believe when you receive glory from each other, and glory that is from the One God, not looking? Jn. 5:44. And from these words of the Savior, we can understand that relationships, real, planned by God, will always require not only our time and desire, but also our faith! Here it will be appropriate to recall one more important words about faith already spoken by Ap. Paul: Anything that is not by faith is sin. Rome. 14:23. What I am saying is that, according to Scripture, true sincere and deep relationships are built where there is faith. What are we supposed to believe in when it comes to relationships? First, you need to believe what God says about man: all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God Rom. 3:23. Those. drawing closer to someone we do not draw closer to an ideal, not to an angel in the flesh, no, we draw closer to a person who is still in the flesh and also (like ourselves) has the ability to sin. As one wise man said: In order not to be disappointed, it is better not to be enchanted. It is testified about our Lord that He did so during His earthly life: Jesus Himself did not commit Himself to them, because He knew everyone and did not need anyone to testify about man, for He Himself knew what was in man. Jn. 2: 24-25. We make a mistake when, drawing close to people, we “entrust” ourselves to them, in fact, we want to “entrust” ourselves to someone, but this can and should be done only in relation to God! And when we build a relationship with a person, it is so important for us to understand that he or she can not only please us and bring something good into our life, but can also upset and even hurt us! And not because they want it, but only because they can be in a bad mood "just because they have not eaten"! Those. The first thing we need to learn to believe in relation to people is the truth about the "corruption" of any person by sin. And it can be very difficult for us! The second thing God wants to teach us to believe when we build relationships is the power of prayer. Confess your transgressions to one another and pray for one another to be healed: the fervent prayer of the righteous can do much. Jac. 5:16. Agree - this is a very practical instruction and if you take us, we do not practice too much and often practice it! But God is telling us here that since both of us involved in the relationship are sinners, then we will commit some actions that destroy our relationship, but if we do not "hush up" them, but we talk about it, ask a friend friend forgiveness, forgive and pray for each other, then everything that can destroy our relationship will be overcome by us! And the church is still not very successful in this. We are still afraid of getting closer, we are still trying to look good in front of each other i.e. “Spiritual”, and when something appears in us that is definitely not, we try not to advertise it. "hush up". And then we have questions: Why is there so little true, sincere and deep relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ in the church? For me, the answer is obvious: Because real deep relationships are built where people confess their misdeeds and pray for each other. And in order to do this, you need to believe in the power of prayer, believe what is written in the Epistle of Ap. Jacob and practically follow it! It was not by chance that I began with these words of the Lord: "I have been with you for so long and you do not know Me." Most of us have been here in the church for a long time, and as the Apostle says, "judging by the time" we should have had another |
