1 Cokesbury United Methodist Church 6701 Idlewild Road, Charlotte, NC 28212! Reverend Dr. In-Yong Lee, Pastor! Mission Statement Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19- Vol. CDLXXXIX 489 Through Cokesbury Windows March 14, 2016 Jesus, Our Lord and Our Friend We are moving closer and closer to Holy Week, when we commemorate Jesus journey towards his cross and when we ponder our weaknesses and sinfulness and our need for God s salvation through Jesus Christ. I know during Lent some of you have been fasting, some of you have been renouncing certain habits, and some of you have been practicing something new or different. I commend you for engaging in these efforts, living out our faith in Lenten season. Also, I m thankful to those of you who have been attending the community Lenten services that the six churches in this area are sharing at Amity Presbyterian Church every Wednesday at noon. Our journey will lead us to Easter and we will celebrate God s overwhelming love that day and onward. Jesus tells us in John 15:13-15, No one has greater love than this, to lay down one s life for one s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. Wow! Our Lord calls us his friends! What a friend we have, indeed! I went to Greensboro Korean UMC last Sunday, March 13, to participate in their 35 th anniversary and their new pastor s installation service. It was a beautiful service and dinner that followed was wonderful. Hmmm, yummy Korean food! Probably the best thing that evening was to see many of my old friends. They were members of the Korean church that I served as a student associate in High Point for six and a half years a long time ago. We were excited to see each other again. Even though it has been a while since I had seen them, it was as if I had seen them just the day before. The gap in time didn t make us feel any differently. We were good friends still. The following day, one of them texted me a beautiful quote about friendship in Korean, which I translated for you. I don t think the Korean who wrote it is a Christian, but we can still enjoy it and learn from it. (Continued on page 2)

2 A day comes when you pass by the one, whom you once loved to death, as if you didn t know him; A day comes when you stop communicating with the one who used to be your closest friend and with whom you shared your deepest secrets; A day comes when you can look in the eyes and smile at the one who once was your archenemy; Yes, time passes and this too will pass. Do not blame the one who estranged herself; Do not try to keep the one who is leaving you; Let it go, as spring goes and summer comes, just like that. The one who will leave you will go away anyway, whether you try to distance yourself from him or not; The one who will stay will stay, whether you cling to her desperately or not; You don t need to spend your time which is like precious flowers for the one who doesn t love you or honor you, pouring your time and love, and hurting like crazy. If it is covered with muddy water in a storm, it doesn t stop being a flower; The next bout of rain will wash it clean. Everybody makes a mistake. A baby falls 3,000 times, before he masters how to walk. I myself have fallen 3,000 times and stood up again, and why would I despair on this? Thinking about killing oneself too early is the saddest thing in the world. And the most unfortunate thing is to understand love too late. However much you boast your beauty and power, we are all the same under the sun. We are all petty creatures, when seen from high up there. The tallest person is not as tall as a meager tree. The fastest person is not as fast as some animal. Do not try to trample on those who are less fortunate than you. Do not envy and be jealous of the one who is doing better than you. I wish I can live, loving myself just as I am, for we are all alike under the sun. I wish we all can love one another and help one another. Well, we can surely relate to what it says, can t we? It would be nice, if we can live loving and helping one another. Even when we fail to do it, we know that we have a friend who never fails to be there for us, Jesus. Thanks be to God! In-Yong
