We want people to understand us and be understood everywhere. Those who understand us are those who know our past and present lives. We cannot criticize ourselves just by looking at the present state. We need to know the past and the present to understand each other. And we can only share our burdens with each other when that understanding is based on that understanding. When living with a neighbor in a competitive state without understanding, sympathy, love, and forgiveness, all day and night is guilt, misunderstanding, hatred, and innocence. If you stand on your side and judge your neighbors without understanding each other, you have no choice but to criticize, criticize, condemn, and judge because you only appear to be doing something wrong. Therefore, when we have a conversation with someone, we must be able to think about it from that person's position and look at the world with that person's eyes and ears.

1. the neighborhood we always go through
They say that if you don't criticize the Bible, you won't be criticized. However, the truth is that when we meet and talk, almost 80% of our conversations are criticized. When you talk about a church, you start by criticizing that church. When you say something about someone, you say something that criticizes them first. The other person criticizes us all the time, so of course, they criticize us and cause conflict.
Matthew 7:1, verse 5, says, "Don't criticize if you don't want to be criticized. You will be criticized for the criticism you criticize. You will be judged by the reckoning you have. Why don't you see the tees in your brother's eyes and realize the beams in your eyes? There is a beam in your eyes, but why do you tell your brother to take the tees out of your eyes? Take the beam out of your eyes first, those who eat out, and then reveal it and take the tees out of your brother's eyes." These are the words of Jesus Christ. As such, we must listen to what Jesus, the absolute good who dare not criticize, has said.

Luke 6:37, verse 38, says, "Don't criticize, or you won't be criticized, or you won't be condemned, or forgave, or you will be forgiven, or I will give it to you, and soon I will give it to you, and I will press it, shake it, and give it to you, and you will receive it back."
We must not condemn others if we do not want to be condemned in our lives. There is no flawless and flawless person in the world, so if we start to point it out, we have no choice but to scratch, tear, bite, and fight later. What Jesus said is something we must always remember in our hearts. Like the saying, "Those of you who are innocent, stone it first!" We must remember Jesus deeply that unless we are truly guilty, we will not be condemned. In order to be forgiven, we must forgive. In other words, we must first release those who hate, judge, and have a grudge against us.
Ephesians 4:31:32 say, "Forget all evil, anger, anger, talk, and slander with all evil, be kind, pity, and forgive each other, as God forgives you in Christ." God forgave us for all our sins in Christ. The Bible says that we should forgive our neighbors, just like him. And we should not criticize in order to understand, sympathize with, love, and live with each other. Criticism and correction are about destroying peace and bringing about division and strife.
In Matthew 5:44, Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Jesus blessed them even though he was persecuted by his enemies and crucified. Criticism and corruption destroy peace and bring division and strife. Love not only covers many breakdowns, but also adds the scent of love to the person who hits you with the scent of love. When you cover up all the breakdowns and give love, the scent follows in your actions. People smell the scent and come out believing in Jesus Christ.

2. a church of sinners
They criticize the church because people have a wrong understanding of it. People criticize it, "The church is a place where righteous people gather. But why are there so many sinners in the church? It's the wrong church." It is a wrong understanding to think that the church is a place where righteous people gather. The church is a group of sinners. Luke 5:32 says, "I didn't come to call for righteous men, I came to call sinners to repent."
Therefore, it is a misjudgment that the church is a group of holy people. The church is not a place where flawless and unvarnished people gather. In reality, there are many people in the church full of injustice, ugliness, greed, and evil, and there are many who gather and whisper, murder, conflict, fraud, and evil. When a couple of church members gather, they whisper, "Some pastor is like this. Any elder is like that. Even any butler is like that." When you gather like this, you can ask, "What church is like that?" But that's the place where the church is. Because Jesus came to the center of the world's many and dirty people to peel off their skin, wash and change the dirty things. The church is where the unchanging people gather. What is the use of a launderer going among those who have done their laundry and dressed cleanly? Jesus is a launderer. The church is a place where dirty clothes wash, ugly and smelly things, wash, and clean them. The church is a community of love, not already. Due to the history of the Holy Spirit, you are strongly encouraged and changed to make love when you come to the church. However, to think that the church is overflowing with love and in the midst of a flame of love from the beginning is a very misunderstanding of the church.
Today's church is a place where the mentally ill come. It is a place where the mentally, physically, and physically ill come. This is because Jesus, who is healing the sick, is with the church. The church is a place where those who cannot live without God's grace are gathered. Under the law, people who cannot be perfect and can live only with God's grace come to the church. The place where those who cannot grow on their own and who are not happy on their own come to grow and be happy with the help of the Lord is the church, and those who have no hope come to the church to get hope.
In Maga Gospel 2:17, "Jesus heard and said to them, 'For the healthy, doctors are useless and for the sick, I am not here to call for righteousness; I am here to call for sinners.' The Holy Spirit said in its history that the earth is empty, chaotic, and deep in black rock. It is said that the Holy Spirit does not record a place where it is full, orderly, and everything is full. The Holy Spirit operates above the empty, chaotic, and deep in black rock. Therefore, if we recognize, welcome, and worship the Holy Spirit, and rely on it, the Holy Spirit will come and willingly give us the history of the Genesis to create a new world. Today we need to know that Jesus is also among the poor. Jesus said he came to preach the gospel to the poor, to give the captive freedom to see again, to give the blind to see again, to give grace to the enslaved by the law. Jesus comes in the midst of problems. He comes to the poor. He comes to those who have problems and are captured by sin, curse, despair and death, and Jesus comes to those who are blind. Jesus comes to those who are stressed out and frustrated and hopeless by being crushed. Jesus comes to give grace to those who are enslaved by the law. Jesus came to give life to give freedom to anywhere.
In John 10:9 verse 10, it is written, "I am the door, and if anyone enters through me, he will be saved or come out and get the form. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. What I have come to is to gain life and to gain more abundant life with sheep."
Jesus is the only door to the place where we get life but overflow. Jesus refuses to say that he will lead us to the door. Jesus is the door. If we invite Jesus to the Savior and call his name, we will enter the place of life. Therefore, please save your life strong and bold.

3. Cross and I
Today is Palm Sunday, and this week is the week of hardship Jesus crucified. Now we have to think about the relationship between the cross and us. We are always dirty with sin and always live in the dark as a servant. Who in the world lives all innocent and righteous? When you come into the church after believing in Jesus and worship him, you will be holy, clean, grateful, and praise him, and if you leave the church without your knowledge, you will sin again, swear, lie, and stain the world. It is always dirty with sin and always a servant of darkness, but the difference between those who believe in Jesus and those who do not is that those who believe in Jesus always have a source of washing and change. Those who believe in Jesus have a cross that cleanses away sin and a cross that they always hold and rely on. However, those who do not believe in sin cannot escape from sin by falling into it. There is no way out of sin that deserves to be sinned, unjust, ugly, and abandoned. However, because those who believe in Jesus embrace the cross, they are able to repent, undergo changes, repent, and rely on the cross, and live a slightly different life day by day. Therefore, the cross is the grace of God that I must always live with in my heart.
It is written in Corinthians 5:17, "In other words, if anyone is in Christ, it is a new creature, so the previous one has passed, so look, it has become new." As such, we become new little by little every day. After sleeping overnight, it became completely new. It's a lie. Because Jesus carries me on the cross and the Holy Spirit runs through the cross, it seems invisible to people, but it is changing. As time passes, we become people who change little by little and resemble the image of Christ. Therefore, we have nothing to brag about other than the cross. We cannot boast about our actions to the world, we cannot boast about the law, we cannot boast about our knowledge.
In Philip 2:6, he writes, "He does not consider himself to take the body of the fundamental God or equal to God, but rather he empties himself into the shape of the servant, and he appears in the shape of a man, lowers himself, and obeys himself to death, so he dies on the cross."
Jesus liquidated us by obeying the will of God on the cross until he died. God sent Jesus to liquidate our old people and make them new in Christ. To do this, the Lord endured it on the cross to the end. The devil wanted Jesus to come down from the cross without patience. But Jesus endured the pain to the end. He obeyed until death. By dying on the cross, you have achieved everything. You have given us freedom.
In Galatians 5:1, he wrote, "For Christ has given us freedom to free us, so stand firm and never be in the yoke of a servant again," and in Galatians 6:14, "But I have nothing to boast about but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, so the world is crucified against me by Christ, and I am also about the world." Therefore we have no other place but the cross to rely on. Nail my old man on the cross and through the cross of Jesus we become new people. Only the Lord who is responsible for my fragility on the cross is my strength. The only place that truly understands, sympathizes with, forgives, and loves me is the cross of the Lord. When you cross, you will be the only one who stands in the law without understanding, sympathy, forgiveness, or love. If you embrace the cross today, the Lord will embrace you as it is, the sin as it is, despite the fact that you deserve to be abandoned despite the fact that you have sinned. And it begins to bring about change. Jesus is shouting to the people of the world, "Work hard as it is, as it is, as it is broken down as it is, as it is, as it is, as it is, as it is, as it is, with empty hands, as it is, all the heavy luggage come to the church! Come to me! I have done everything for you on the cross! Open your heart and I will come into you and legally change you!" Now Jesus can legally change us because he has repaid our sins instead. By the Lord's blood and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are transformed.

Like Isaiah 49:15, "How can a woman forget her milkmaid, and how can she not be proud of her son? They may forget, but I will not forget you." The Lord, who saved us by tearing himself on the cross and bleeding, said. "Mother will not be proud of her milkmaid. I will not forget you even if she forgets her milkmaid." How strong is the word of grace?
In Psalm 27:10, he said, "My parents have abandoned me, but Yahweh will receive me." So we cannot live without the grace of the cross. In Ephesians 2:8, "You have been saved by faith by the grace, and this is not from you, it is from God." We are living by receiving gifts from the cross.
In the second verse of Corinthians 6:1, "We encourage you as those who work with God, and do not receive God's grace in vain," he wrote, "See, this is the time to be blessed, because I heard from you when I gave you grace and helped you on the day of salvation."
We cannot live without God's grace. Even if we sin, God's grace will save us and when we are weak, God's grace will hold us up and bless us when we live in righteousness. There is no understanding, sympathy, forgiveness, and love except for Christ. Only on the Galvory Cross is there full of understanding, sympathy, forgiveness, and love, and in that grace we live the rest of our lives. It is under the Galvory Cross that our lives change. It is not our power and our might that change every day. We are determined to change every day, but we are powerless to practice. But when we go out under the cross and embrace the cross, Jesus Christ's grace will change us through forgiveness and the Holy Spirit.
In the Book of Rome 8:29, he writes, "For God has chosen those who have already known him in advance to imitate the image of his son, so that he may be the eldest among many brothers, and he has also called them and made them righteous and righteous." It is God's ultimate purpose to imitate the image of Jesus Christ. It is God's will to grant us grace so that we can be changed every day and eventually resemble the image of Jesus Christ.
Crossless glory is another yoke. No matter how good a religion is, a religion without a cross is another yoke. No matter how much love you like, love without a cross is another yoke. No matter how great and great he is, he is not God's man without a cross. We only come out under the cross and receive new life, new hope. Therefore, we have nothing to boast about but the cross.

-Prayers-
Today, I recall Jesus' words to forgive even the enemy, God of love. In the end, we also realize that we must forgive for ourselves, not for others. And I confess that such practice can only be achieved by putting us under the cross. Please grant us the power of the cross!
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Aman!
