Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 27, 45-56
Pastor Yoshioka Koten, “Living a Life That Does Not Have to Hurt You”
Everyone has a scar. This is not a cut on the body or an injury, but a wound in the sense of a mental injury. Everyone we know is a hurtful person. You’re all hurt, and I’m hurt, too. Everyone has a scar. And for us, I don’t think there’s a word that’s as close to us as the word wound. In fact, I think many parts of what we talk about, think about, and act on a daily basis are related to the wounds we have ourselves. All kinds of wounds make me what I am. I think that the various wounds I have are guiding and directing my current way of thinking and behavior.
