Introduction : A miserable accident happened on a railroad in Bumil-dong in Busan during the Korean War (6. 25). The love of a father who chose death to save his son.
1. The scorn of the enemies - He has saved others, but he cannot save himself 1) Only the death of a sacrifice can save people who are facing death (1) The death and crime of Adam (2) Dead humankind in Adam doomed to hell (Ro 5:12, Heb 9:27) (3) One person without sin must die in order to save a dead person (Lev 17:11, Mt 26:28, Isa 53:6) 2) With a burning love He overcame all the unbearable jeering, criticism, and accusation, as well as the extreme physical, mental, and spiritual pain (Heb 12:2) 3) I will die to save you the death and resurrection of a man of God (Gal 1:4, Ro 4:25)
2. The price of His death - We must live because the Lord died for us 1) We must live a life of forgiveness, righteousness, and glory (Ro 3:23-24) 2) We must live a life of holiness and fullness in the Holy Spirit (Tit 3:6-7, 1Co 6:11) 3) We must live a life of healing and good health (Isa 53:5, Ps 103:3-5) 4) We must live a life with the blessing of Abraham (Gal 3:13-14) 5) We must live a life of resurrection and eternal heaven (Jn 5:24, Rev 21:1, 4)
3. Do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery (Galatians 5:1) 1) Understand the truth (Jn 16:13) 2) Build up a new status and identity and visualize it (2Co 5:17, 1Pe 2:9) 3) Trust the Word of God and stand firm (Ro 10:17, Heb 4:7, Lk 1:37) - Resist the devil of negative attacks (1Pe 5:8-9, Jas 4:7, Lk 10:19) 4) Pray with your whole heart (Ro 8:15, Jer 33:2-3) 5) Clear confession (Mt 12:34, 19:36, Pr 8:21, 6:2)
Conclusion : As I have mentioned earlier about the train accident, maybe the father´s death would have been a miserable and tragic death if both son and father died. The father´s death would also have been in vain if his son had said, "I will die because my father died for me." The son must live a prosperous life to respect his father´s will and make sure his father´s death would not be in vain. We must not let Jesus´ death be in vain. We must make the price of the Lord´s death more valuable by reigning in life with the help of the Holy Spirit.
