Greed

This is what the Bible James 1:15 says, “Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin;

and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.”  Lust eventually leads to death.  

Nevertheless, it seems that human lust is endless.  Human greed cannot be satisfied.

Last week, I went to a Christian bookstore for church work and saw a book called ‘Heedae’s Hope’

(author: Heedae Lee) and bought it because it was the book about cancer.

Since the author himself was a cancer specialist and suffered from cancer and was healed by God's grace,

I wanted to buy it and read it.

As I read the writings of the author who experienced the 5th stage of life prepared by God in the 4th stage of cancer,

I became interested in the author's book that was about cancer cells.

According to the author, cancer cells are mutations in the genes of cells that repeat growth and death and never die but grow constantly.

The reason why cancer cells are scary is because they take up the nutrients of other cells

in order to grow constantly.

In other words, it is said that cancer cells grow constantly by migrating high-calorie nutrients while constantly moving around.  

In a word, according to the author, the essence of cancer cells is greed. 

We must get rid of our greed.  We must constantly put down our greed that wriggles in us endlessly in front of the cross moment by moment as we live in this world that fuels our greed.

Like our Jesus, we must constantly empty our hearts.  We must put it down again and again.

And we must have the heart of Jesus.

We must learn the secret of contentment with only Jesus.
