우리가 하나님의 뜻을 행하는 데 어려움을 겪는 이유는 무엇일까요?

Hey everyone, God bless you. What I'd like to do is point out a most incredible word that is found in the story of the Samaritan woman St. Fini in John chapter 4. It's an incredible text for so many reasons. It is in my opinion one of the richest theologically rich gospel accounts in all the holy scriptures. Our Lord bequeaths to a ruined woman who is a heretic some of his richest self-revelations, some of some of his his richest theology without a single word of reproach to her. Think about that. You know, throughout our Lord's public ministry, from the temptations in the desert when he fought Satan to the agonia of his struggle in Gethsemane and the embrace of the precious cross, our Lord constantly modeled for us and explicitly taught us the supreme importance of doing God, his father's will. This is what he modeled. This is what he taught in the most difficult of circumstances and at all times. In go John's gospel, the beloved disciple in writing this gospel highlights this emphasis on doing the father's will numerous times. Let me share a few of those references for background. Jesus so submitted his will to God's will that he never even spoke a single word that was not willed by his father. My teaching is not mine but his who sent me. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. That's an incredible word. Our Lord, the greatest rabbi, the greatest preacher, teacher who has ever lived, never spoke a single word of his own. His teaching was what his father had given him. The words that he spoke were the words that his father gave him. And again, this is John 8:28. He who sent me is true. And the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world. I do nothing on my own initiative but I speak these things as the father taught me. So you see here the pattern. The father teaches the son. The son speaks only what the father gives. The the father the son gives his teaching to the apostles and the apostles to the church.
