🔰 Introduction
In the Feast of Tabernacles, the love of our Heavenly Father and Mother, along with the Holy Spirit, shower upon us and our family members in Zion. The prayers and preaching in accordance with the will of Father and Mother have brought abundant blessings, and many lost children of Zion are returning. Within the sermon book "Walking with God during the Autumn feast," a chapter about the scent of Christ and Mother deeply resonated with me. It opened my eyes to the crucial role of being united with our spiritual Mother and the importance of emitting her divine scent in the Church.
🔰 Understanding the Scent of Christ and Mother
Just as babies instinctively recognize their mother's scent, we, as spiritual children, cannot help but be anxious when we are not with Heavenly Jerusalem Mother. God created the relationship between a mother and her child to help us understand the spiritual reality of our relationship with our Heavenly Mother. Just as a baby finds peace and comfort in the presence of their mother's scent and voice, we, too, find true rest and peace in our hearts when we are with our spiritual Mother.
🔰 The Importance of Mother's Scent in Our Spiritual Lives
The Church of God should be a place that emits the scent of Mother, where her voice is heard, and where her warmth, sincerity, comfort, and support are evident. Only then can the lost children of Zion return to Zion as soon as possible. Without the fragrance of Mother, there is a risk of members being moved away from God's word and losing their faith. The church must strive to reflect Mother's scent in everything it does and become a living embodiment of all the teachings she has given us.
🔰 The Role of Mother's Voice in the Church
The gospel work carried out by the Church of God is a reflection of Mother's teaching and guidance. While teaching the Bible and preaching the word are essential, it is ultimately the voice of Mother that draws people to Zion. Mother has lovingly called all her children to return to Zion, just as a mother calls her children to rest in her arms. The lost souls of this world find peace and rest in the Church of God, filled with the scent of Mother.
🔰 The Significance of Mother's Warmth in Building Unity
Unity among members is crucial for the Church to fulfill its purpose. Just as a mother serves and supports her children, we need to be considerate, forgiving, harmonious, and united with one another. Unity does not happen automatically; it requires effort and prayers. Through genuine repentance, we can find paths to unite and become one with each other, fulfilling the teachings of Mother.
🔰 The Power of Mother's Support and Comfort
A mother serves as a servant to her children, giving them unconditional support and love. Similarly, our spiritual Mother has sacrificed and supported us without complaint. The driving force that has enabled us to be here today is the warm support emitted by Mother in our church. By following Father and Mother's teaching, we can become a church that emanates Mother's scent, warmth, and fragrance.
🔰 The Nourishment of Mother's Home-Cooked Meals
Just as the homemade food prepared by mothers carries a special warmth and love, our church should be a place where the scent of Mother's love can be perceived by all. The unique fragrance of Mother's love nurtures and comforts us, setting us apart from the worldly experiences. By abiding in the love of Heavenly Mother, we can create an atmosphere where lost brothers and sisters feel her love and return to Zion.
🔰 Becoming a Church that Emanates Mother's Scent
To preach the gospel effectively and bring joy to Heavenly Mother, our church needs to emit the fragrance of Christ described in the Bible. This fragrance is the embodiment of Father's and Mother's love, calling all their children to return to Zion. By putting Mother's teachings into practice, we can become a church filled with her scent, attracting lost souls and completing the gospel mission.
🔰 The Impact of Mother's Scent on Returning Lost Children of Zion
As the fragrance of Mother permeates the Church, lost children from all corners of the world will be drawn to Zion. They will recognize the familiar scent and return to their spiritual home. It is the responsibility of every member to ensure that our church exudes the scent of Mother, creating an irresistible allure for those seeking the truth. By reflecting Mother's heart, we can lead lost souls back to Zion, working towards the completion of the gospel.
🔰 Reflecting Mother's Heart and Characteristics in our Lives
To repay the sacrifice and love of Father and Mother, we must reflect on ourselves and strive to change. As children of Zion, we should be able to think beyond our own desires and consider the sacrifices our parents have made for us. By following God's commandment and striving to fulfill His will, we can demonstrate our repentant hearts. We must become considerate, forgiving, and united as a testament to the characteristics of Mother's heart.
🔰 Leading Others to Repentance as a Proof of True Repentance
True repentance is not limited to mere words; it requires action. Those who have truly repented will lead others to repentance. Therefore, we must earnestly lead others to righteousness and guide them on the path of true repentance. By doing so, we prove our own repentance and bring joy to Heavenly Father and Mother. Just as Jesus commanded, we are to baptize and teach others, fulfilling the gospel mission.
🔰 The Joy of Heavenly Father and Mother when Lost Ones Return to Zion
Heavenly Father and Mother rejoice when lost children return to Zion. Our spiritual Mother's heart, filled with distress when her lost children are away, experiences the greatest joy when they are found and welcomed back home. The joy of a mother finding her lost child is a reflection of Heavenly Mother's heart. Let us share in this joy by leading more lost souls into the loving arms of our Heavenly Parents.
🔰 The Gospel Work Guided by the Heart of Mother
The gospel work is not accomplished through human knowledge or techniques; it is guided by the heart of Mother. Heavenly Mother actively seeks her lost children and calls them to salvation. As members of the Heavenly family, we must faithfully carry out the gospel work, knowing that only through spreading Mother's message and scent can we fulfill the mission entrusted to us.
🔰 Correcting Our Character to Align with Mother's Teachings
We must strive to correct ourselves and align our character with the teachings of Mother. Transforming from individuals who cannot into individuals who can, we must reflect on our past immaturity and self-centeredness. By embracing Mother's teachings and applying them in our lives, we can become the church that emits her scent and provides solace and rest for all seeking souls.
🔰 The Comfort and Love of Home in Mother's Warm Hands
Our spiritual family is our home, and it is where we find the comfort and love of Mother. Just as a mother serves her children with warmth and care, our Heavenly Mother's warm hands are always waiting to support and encourage us. In her presence, we find true peace and feel that we are everything to her. Let us cherish this home and always abide in the love of our Heavenly Mother.
🔰 Emitting the Fragrance of Mother as we Walk with Her
As we walk alongside Mother, let us emit her fragrance in every aspect of our lives. Just as a home-cooked meal carries a mother's love and warmth, our church should radiate the fragrance of Mother. By reflecting her teachings and following her example, we become a living testament to her love and grace. People will recognize the scent of Mother and be drawn to her, finding peace and rest in the Church of God.
🔰 Concluding Thoughts
In conclusion, the Feast of Tabernacles reminds us of the love and sacrifice of our Heavenly Father and Mother. Through understanding the significance of Mother's scent, voice, warmth, and support, we can become a church that truly reflects her divine nature. As we lead others to repentance, show unity, and emit the fragrance of Mother, we bring joy to Heavenly Parents and fulfill the gospel mission. Let us strive to be the children who think beyond ourselves and grow in the embrace of our spiritual Mother.
