A Message Even Children Can Understand

Good morning 🌅

This morning's word from Scripture…📖

Mark 4:33

“With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Jesus spoke in a way that matched the understanding of the people listening to Him.
…
When I was young…🤔
I thought that, since I would probably become an evangelist one day,
it was important to learn how to deliver a good message…
…
A well-known preacher came to Okinawa.
…
He shared a secret㊙️ to communicating God's message❗️
…
He was an excellent scholar of theology and the Bible…
…
But this is what he said…🧐
“A truly excellent preacher…🤔
is someone who can deliver a message that even children in the first years of elementary school can understand❗️”
I still remember his words.
…
When Jesus delivered His message, I think there were people there who could not read or write well.
To them, too,
He told many different parables that were easy to understand❗️
…
So I believe it is important
for us, too, to give messages that even young elementary school children can understand…🤔
…
The many views of At Home Church's videos…
are thanks to Mr. Matsukawa's efforts❗️
And…
people are listening to the pastors who communicate their messages clearly.
…
Whether in Chiba, Tokyo, or Okinawa…
when I cannot be there, and someone gives a message from Scripture,
I think worship could become even better
if they spoke as though they were talking to children in Sunday school.
…
“With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.”

Shalom 😃
