Make yourself as much as the time period has changed 운영자| 9/12/2016 |Views 15,223

    The Wolmyeongdong Natural Temple has been developed beautifully, majestically, and mysteriously. However, in the past, it was nothing but a tiny village in the mountain.


    <Wolmyeongdong> is a mountainous region, so there was only a small amount of space for rice paddies and fields. So, it was difficult to farm, and since it was surrounded all over by mountains, if you took even one step, you would already be on a mountain. It was so cramped that it was difficult to live there. In contrast, <Seokmak-ri>, the region below Wolmyeongdong, was a flatland, so it was great for farming.


    <Seokmak-ri> was such a great place that <Wolmyeongdong> couldn’t even begin to be compared with it. However, ever since Pastor Jung Myeong Seok and his disciples developed <Wolmyeongdong>, the situation has completely changed.


    Now <Wolmyeongdong> has become such a precious land that cannot be compared with the flatland, <Seomak-ri>. ‘Hiking Trails’ were built, and the mountain was developed to have ‘walking trails’ and ‘gardens.’ All of the surroundings were developed and made into the ‘Natural Temple.’ Now <Wolmyeongdong> has become like ‘a city.’


    In this way, for individuals too, if you develop and improve yourself because the time period changes, you will transform in a better way as much as it was disadvantageous for you. That is why you have to make yourself as much as the time period has changed.


    When developing Wolmyeongdong, if we had developed it without any design in mind, we would have ruined the <artwork>.

    However, Pastor Jung left the mountains as it was without forcibly changing it and developed it according to God’s design. This applies to people as well. If you forcibly change a person without thinking about their own unique traits, you will ruin an ‘artwork of life’.


    If individuals develop and raise their level, their destiny and situation will completely change and become different. Therefore, I hope you will live your life making and developing yourself in order to  raise your level.

    지금은 아름답고 웅장하며 신비하게 건축된 

    월명동 자연성전은 예전엔 작은 산골마을에 불과했습니다. 


    <월명동>은 산 지역이라 논과 밭이 조금밖에 없어서 

    농사짓기도 힘들었고, 사방이 산으로 둘러싸여 있어 

    발을 움직이기만 하면 산이었습니다.

    너무 비좁아서 살기에도 힘들었습니다.

    그에 반해 월명동 밑에 있는 <석막리>는 평지 지역이라서 

    농사짓기에 좋았습니다. 


    <석막리>는 <월명동>과는 비교가 안 되게 좋았습니다.

    그러나 정명석 목사와 제자들이 <월명동>을 개발해 놓으니, 

    발달되어 상황이 뒤바뀌었습니다. 


    이제 <월명동>은 평지인 <석막리>와는 비교가 안 되는

     귀한 땅이 되었습니다.

    ‘등산로’를 만들고, 산은 ‘산책로’와 ‘정원’으로 만들었습니다. 

    그 주변을 싹 개발하여 ‘자연성전’으로 만들었습니다. 

    이제는 <월명동>이 ‘하나의 도시’처럼 되었습니다.


    이와 같이 <개인>도 시대가 바뀌어 발달되고 개발하면, 

    불리한 조건이었던 만큼 더 좋게 변화됩니다. 

    그러니 시대가 바뀐 만큼 자기를 만들어야 합니다. 


    월명동을 개발할 때, 구상도 안 한 상태에서 개발했으면 

    <작품>을 버렸을 것입니다. 

    그러나 정명석 목사는 막 손대지 않고 산들을 그대로 놓고, 

    거기에 하나님의 구상대로 개발했습니다. 

    사람도 그러합니다. 그 사람의 본래 특성을 생각하지 않고 

    막 손대면, 오히려 ‘인생 작품’을 버리게 됩니다.


    개인도 발달되어 차원이 높아지면 운명과 상황이 

    완전히 뒤바뀌어 달라지니 저마다 차원이 높아지도록 

    자기를 개발시키고 만들면서 살기 바랍니다.
