바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (11) 두기고와 오네시모의 두 번째 공통점은 그들은 신실한 사람들이었습니다 ( 골 4:7, 9). 흥미로운 점은 바울은 골로새 교 회 성도들에게 마지막 문안 인사를 하면서 신실한 사람들인 두기고와 오네시모를 언급하였는데 , 시작 인사를 보면 그는 골로새에 있는 성도들 “ 곧 그리스도 안에서 신실한 형제들 ” (1:2) 하고 언급했을 뿐만 아니라 에바브라는 그들을 위한 “ 그리스도의 신실한 일꾼 ”(7 절 ) 이라고 말했다는 것입니다 . 여기 골로새서 1 장 2 절에서 “신실한 형제들”이란 말을 현대인의 성경은 “그리스도를 믿는 형제들”이라고 번역을 했 는 데 여기서 “신실한 형제들”이란 예수 그리스도를 계속해 서 신실하게 믿는 형제들입니다 . “신실한 형제들”이란 (1) 믿음이 충만한 자들이요 (full of faith), (2) 신뢰하는 사람들 (trustful) 이요 , 또한 신뢰할 만한 사람들 (trustworthy) 로서 (3) 그리스도에게 충성된 자들 (loyal to Christ) 입니다 (KJV 성경 주석 ). “그리스도 안에서 신실한 형제들”은 그리스도에게 충성된 자들이요 예수 그리스도의 충성된 증인들 입니다 ( 계 1:5). 그들은 흠 없이 정직하게 주님을 따르며 ( 시 101:6), 지극히 작은 것에도 충성하며 ( 눅 16:10), 죽도록 충성하여 ( 계 2:10) 주님 앞에서 설 때에 “잘하였다 착한 종이여 네가 지극히 작은 것에 충성하였”다는 주님의 칭찬 ( 눅 19:17) 과 더불어 주님께로부터 생명의 면류관을 받을 사람들입니다 ( 계 2:10).
Conclusion
The church must be rebuilt. It needs to be rebuilt not only morally and
ethically but especially according to biblical principles. To be rebuilt, the church must weep and repent
while looking at the broken church. The
church must turn back to God, the merciful One, with the heart of the Lord who is
the head of the church. The church must
return to the Word of God. The church
must experience a revival of the Word and the power of the Word. The church must return to the gospel of
Christ. And the church must live in a
manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
The Lord is rebuilding His church. He is raising up His servants and rebuilding
His church. The Lord is making His
servants pray, return to His Word, and be faithful to His Word and prayer to
rebuild His church. The Lord is boldly
proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through them and also showing the power
of the gospel, rebuilding the church. Furthermore,
the Lord is using them to bring about a revival in the hearts of the saints who
hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, causing them to separate from the world and
live in purity, rebuilding the church with one heart and one mind with the
servants of the Lord. The Lord is
enabling the entire church family to serve His church, which is His body, with
a willing and devoted heart, rebuilding His church. Even though the church of the Lord faces
challenges in the strategic plan of Satan, and even though crises come upon the
church when it is being rebuilt, the Lord, with His gracious touch, will be
with us, rebuilding His church. Therefore, we all must rise with the assurance
of victory, and with a heart of dedication, we must serve the Lord's church to
rebuild it. No matter what adversity and
crisis may come, we must dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to rebuilding the
Lord's church, considering it an opportunity to experience the Lord's gracious
touch. Our Lord will indeed establish
His church as a glorious church (Eph. 5:27).
