고난은 기회입니다. (6)

"고난의 유익은 그 고난을 통하여 내가 하나님 보시기에 그릇행하였다는 것을 깨닫는 것과 하나님의 법을 배우게 된 것과 이제부터 하나님의 말씀을 지키게 된 것입니다(시 119:67, 71). 이러한 깨달음(나의 죄)과 배움(하나님의 말씀)과 지킴( 말씀 순종)이 없는 고난은 무익합니다." 1. 깨달음: 교만함(시119:69), 그릇 행함(67절), 마음의 살찜과 기름덩이(70절) [마음에 지방을 제거하라!: https://blog.naver.com/kdicaprio74/150112959844] 2. 배움: 자녀들의 위기를 통해 저는 선하신 주님께서(68절) 저를 선대하사(65절) 가르쳐주신(68절) 시편 63편 3절 말씀과 베드로전서 5장 10절 말씀을 배우게 되었습니다(71절).

A true servant of the Lord

A true pastor who obeys God's word and proclaims every command God has given without leaving out a single word ...

 

Like the true prophet Jeremiah, a true pastor who obeys God's word

and proclaims every command God has given without leaving out a single word

must continue to faithfully deliver all of God's message,

even if there are congregants who, hearing all these words,

 are tempted to hate and persecute the pastor

(Ref.: Jeremiah 23:28; 26:2, 7-9).



The true shepherd

 

A true shepherd cannot bear not

to deliver the word of the Lord to the flock entrusted to him

(Ref.: Jeremiah 20:9).

  

 

A true servant of the Lord

 

A true servant of the Lord, despite facing ridicule, mockery, shame,

insults, and persecution because of God's word, knows that the Lord,

who is like a mighty warrior, is with him.

Consequently, those who persecute him will not prevail;

rather, they will fail and suffer an eternal and unforgettable disgrace

(Ref.: Jeremiah 20:7-8, 11).

 

 

 

If we persecute a true servant of the Lord ...

 

If we persecute a true servant of the Lord,

we are essentially bringing upon ourselves a terrible disaster

(Ref.: Jeremiah 26:19).




A true servant of the Lord, the pastor, through all the words of God he has preached, is seen as someone deserving of death by the congregants who have been tempted.

 

A true servant of the Lord, the pastor, through all the words of God he has preached,

may be seen as deserving of death by the congregants who have been tempted

(Ref.: Jeremiah 26:11).

This is because he did not preach sermons that pleased their ears

(Ref.: 2 Timothy 4:3), but rather preached sermons that pricked their hearts

(Ref.: Acts 2:37), causing them to become so enraged

that they gnashed their teeth in fury (Ref.: 7:54).

Nevertheless, a true pastor, like the prophet Jeremiah, would say:

'The Lord sent me to preach all the words you have heard.

Therefore, you should now amend your ways and actions and obey your God.

Then God will relent and not bring the disaster He has declared upon you.

I am in your hands; do as you think is good'

(Ref.: Jeremiah 26:12-14).
