Matthew 6: 14-15

(Matthew 6: 14-15)

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


Jesus died on the cross and resurrected in three days, and the disciples were hiding in one room in fear of the Jews. The door did not open where the disciples gathered, but suddenly Jesus appeared in the middle and said, "Peace be with you." And Jesus exhaled and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." He also said, "If you forgive anyone's sins, you will be forgiven. If you leave anyone's sins intact, they will remain." There is a saying in the Lord's Prayer, "Let us forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven others' sins." This means that I can forgive the sins of other brothers, just as God has forgiven my sins for mine.

Jesus in John 13:34『A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.』 Jesus was crucified on the cross and died for the humans of all the world, so God forgive sins and gives heavenly life to all who repent, saying, "Love like that." That is, to preach the word of God, so in John 18:17『Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. 』 Heavenly Father sent Jesus "to save us from sin and deliver us in the midst of death." Jesus sent his disciples to the world for the same reason and purpose. He saves those who are in sin and death. So, he said, "If you forgive any sins, their sins will be forgiven, and if you do not forgive any sins, they will remain."

This is a very important mission to the disciples before Jesus ascends with a body of spirit. The word of God's grace was to be preached and spread to all the world, and it was the disciples' beginning.

Those who can forgive sins against others must be forgiven of their sins. He who can give life to others must have heavenly life. You must have the seed of the covenant to give the seed of the covenant to others. If God has forgiven my sins and you cannot forgive others' sins, you do not know God's grace.

In John 6: 38-40『For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 』 "Believing in the Son" means eating the flesh of the Son of Man and drinking the blood of the Son of Man. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross because of me. Then, I also died with Jesus on the cross, and Jesus took on all the sins of the world that were caused by me, and this means that there is life of God.

In the Old Testament times, sinners sacrificed to keep sin free, but the beast dies instead. When the beast dies, I die together, and I am born again from sin. Anyone who believes this can forgive others the same worldly sins.

In Matthew 16: 13-16, Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do people say I am?" People say "one of the prophets," and Peter said, "the son of God." Jesus praised Peter. When Jesus said, "It is not the blood and the flesh that knows this, but the Father in heaven," he said to Peter to build a church on this faith and to give the keys to heaven.

And he said, "If you tie anything on earth, it will be daily in heaven. If you loose anything on earth, it will be released in heaven." Anyone who has completely forgiven of sin from God must go to anyone and unlock the key to heaven. Jesus went to the Pharisees "You are holding the door to heaven, and you are not entering, and you are preventing others from entering."

Why can't I forgive someone else's sins or think I can? The reason is that I have not received anything from God. If you believe that you have true life, you have to tell it. And the reason I think "I can't" is because of my fearful mind. Jesus knew all the fear, persecution, opposition, or resistance that comes when he testifies of Jesus. That is why he sent the Holy Spirit. No matter how persecuted and resistant you are, you must speak and speak the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will go through the history. God gives an ear to hear, and if God does it, a history that changes to a new life takes place.

Matthew 2:7-11

(Matthew 2:7-11) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.   When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. In ancient times, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were mainly offerings to kings or gods. Biblical scholars say, "In 243 BC, the offerings of Seleucus II Callinicus dedicated to the Temple of Apollo in Miletus included gold, fra...

  (Matthew 2:1-6) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,   Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Matthew 2:1-6) Jesus came down to the earth according to the prophecy of the Old Testament 『 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler ...

Matthew 2:12-15

(Matthew 2:12-15) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. "It might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." The prophet quoted by Matthew is Hosea. In Hosea 11:1 My son means a young Israeli community. It is to tell how God called the Israelites from Egypt in the past to "Israel apostate through Baal." “ Called ou...
