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).
These are the words of promise
from the Lord, the Good
Shepherd. (1)
I
will hold you accountable for my sheep
and
will no longer let you shepherd them.
I
will rescue my sheep from your mouths,
and
they will no longer be food for you
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 34:9-10).
These are the words of promise
from the Lord, the Good
Shepherd. (2)
I
will search for my sheep and look after them.
As a
shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them,
so I
will look after my sheep.
I
will rescue them from all the places
where
they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
I
will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries,
and I
will bring them into their own land.
I
will pasture them on the mountains of Israel,
in
the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.
I
will tend them in a good pasture,
and
the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land.
There
they will lie down in good grazing land,
and
there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
I
myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,
declares the Sovereign Lord
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 34:11-15).
These are the words of promise
from the Lord, the Good
Shepherd. (3)
These
are the words of promise from the Lord, the Good Shepherd:
‘I
will search for my lost sheep and bring back the strays.
I
will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak.
But
the sleek and the strong I will destroy;
I
will shepherd the flock with justice’
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 34:16).
These are the words of promise
from the Lord, the Good
Shepherd. (4)
These
are the words of promise from the Lord, the Good Shepherd:
‘I
will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.
I
will place over them one shepherd, my servant David,
and
he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd’
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 34:22-23).
These are the words of promise
from the Lord, the Good
Shepherd. (5)
These
are the words of promise from the Lord, the Good Shepherd:
‘I
will make a covenant of peace with them
and
cause them to dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
I
will bless them and the places around my hill.
I
will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.
The
trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the earth will yield its crops.
They
will be secure in their land; they will know that I am the Lord,
when
I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them
from
the hand of those who enslaved them.
Then
they will no longer be plundered by the nations,
nor
will wild animals devour them.
They
will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid.
I
will provide for them a land renowned for its beauty,
and
they will know that I am the Lord their God,
with
them, and that they are my people’
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 34:25-30).
