The Actual ‘Giving Pledge’ through the Passover
|
People are living together, giving and taking a help. When we are asked a help by someone, we can give him in proper way. On the other hand, if you need a help, you can ask to someone a help in return. And you will be given back the exact help. The help is needed everywhere and it is also needed to everybody. If you find someone in need, you could give him a helping hand.
Let’s suppose that you come across someone who is dying in serious situation and fall into a critical condition.
What can you do to help him? What can you give him?
If he is a just stranger, you will pass him having no qualms of conscience. If he is one of your relatives, you might have an anxiety about him.
What if he is the member of your family? What are you going to do? Are you hesitating to do something? Are you delaying in giving treatment? I am sure that all of you will take action to help your family.
Recently a news was introduced which was about “The Giving Pledge“. According to the news article, Tim Cook, the latest company boss of Apple, made a decision to donate million dollars to charity. And he pledge to donate most of his wealth and fortune to charity before he dies.
In philanthropic causes, he joins a growing number of the world’s super-rich who are giving away their wealth, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Several years ago, Warren Buffett and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who are considered as the billionaire, launched the campaign ‘The Giving Pledge‘. The main point of the campaign is to give at least half of their fortunes to charity.
How about life? No one can throw away his own life to save the others. Neither can he give life. There is only person who rushes to help you and willingly lay down life for the sake of the child is no other than your mommy. It is because she consider you as the part of her body.
In the same reason, God established the Passover -the new covenant- to forgive our sins through which we can be saved and get eternal life. By shedding blood and tearing flesh, God put His true love into the Passover bread and wine.
As Heavenly Mother has been teaching us, “It is more blessed to give love than to receive, as God always gives love.” The true love is to save the others’ life and it come only from our God; Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother. That is why Their love is called inexpressible, unattainable and beyond words. Also They are called ‘life-giving spirit‘ giving the life through the Passover.
Elohim God eagerly want us to eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood because whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life, and God will raise us up at the last day.”(John 6:53~54) It means that no one who eats the bread of the Passover and drinks the wine of Passover would die forever. The eternal love through the Passover is the virtual way to practice ‘The Giving Pledge’.
The World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG), believing in “God the Mother”, are practicing the love of “God the Mother” and showing Her favor based on the philanthropy.
