바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)

바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)       바울 은 마지막 문안 인사에서 이렇게 말씀했습니다 : “아킵보에게 이르기를 주 안에서 받은 직분을 삼가 이루라고 하라” ( 골 4:17).   아킵보는 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하라는 말씀 입니다 .   신약성경에 나타난 주요 직분으로는 목사 , 장로 , 집사 등이 있습니다 .   직분자들은 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하기 위해선 (1) 그리스도 예수님께 감사해야 합니다 .   디모데전서 1 장 12 절입니다 : “나에게 힘을 주신 우리 주 그리스도 예수님께 내가 감사하는 것은 나를 충성스러운 사람으로 여겨 나에게 직분을 맡겨 주셨기 때문입니다 . ”   바울은 자신이 예수 그리스도를 믿지 않았을 때에 모르고 하나님을 모독하고 성도들을 핍박하던 난폭한 사람이었는데 하나님께서 자신을 불쌍히 여겨 주시사 회심케하셨을 뿐만 아니라 사명을 주시사 이방인의 사도로 세우셨기에 예수님께 감사했습니다 . (2) 은혜의식 속에서 더 많이 수고해야 합니다 .   고린도전서 15 장 8-10 절입니다 : “맨 나중에는 부족하기 짝이 없는 내게도 나타나셨습니다 .   나는 사도들 중에 가장 보잘것없는 사람이며 하나님의 교회를 박해했기 때문에 사도라고 불릴 자격마저 없습니다 .   그러나 오늘날 내가 이렇게 된 것은 하나님의 은혜로 된 것이며 내게 주신 그분의 은혜가 헛되지 않아 내가 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일했습니다 .   그렇지만 그것은 내가 한 것이 아니라 나와 함께 하신 하나님의 은혜였습니다 . ”   그래서 그는 은혜 의식 속에서 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일을 했습니다 .   우리도 그 리 해야 합니다 .

Seven words on the cross (3) (John 19:25-27)

Seven words on the cross (3)         [John 19:25-27]       This is the third word Jesus spoke on the cross: “…   ‘Woman, behold, your son!’  …  ‘Behold, your mother!’” (Jn. 19:26-27)    Look at John 19:25-27: “Therefore the soldiers did these things.  But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’  Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother!’  From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.”  Looking at these words, we can see that there were four women and one man by the cross of Jesus.   First, I would like to think of four women: (1) “His mother” refers to Mary, the mother of the crucified Jesus.   (2) “His mother’s sister” is “Salome” (...

“If God is for us” (4) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (4)         [Romans 8:31-34]       Look at Romans 8:33 – “Who will bring a charge against God's elect?  …”  When we think of the “God’s elect” here, when did God choose?  Romans 8:29 says that God foreknew.  In other words, God chose before the creation of the world, before all things existed.  Look at Ephesians 1:4 – “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, ….”  So, who are the people God has chosen?  They are those who has become conformed to the image of God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:29).  Here, the Son of God, the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, not only died, but rose again (v. 34).  Not only that, but He is the One who ascended into heaven, and sat at his right hand of God (Mk. 16:19; Heb. 10:12) to make intercession for us (Rom. 8:34).   As God's chosen ones, we must imitate Jesus.   The subject of all our wishe...

“If God is for us” (3) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (3)       [Romans 8:31-34]     Look at Romans 8:32 – “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?”  Here, “He who did not spare” refers to God who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all.  That God is a God who is for us (v. 31).  And the God who is for us is the eternal God (Deut. 33:27; Isa. 40:28; Rom. 16:26), the omnipresent God (Isa. 57:15; Jere. 23:24), the Almighty God (Gen. 28:3; Josh. 22:22; Job 8:3, 5; Ps. 50:1; Isa. 9:6; Ezek. 10:5; Rev. 11:17; 15:3; 16:7, 14; 19: 6, 15; 21:22), a God of love (1 Jn. 4:8, 16).  The God of love who is for us, but did not spare His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for our salvation, and gave Him up to die on the cross for us.   In Romans 8:32, “the Son” spoken of by the Apostle Paul refers to Jesus Christ, who is equal to God, the only begotten Son.   God, who l...

“If God is for us” (2) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (2)       [Romans 8:31-34]     Look at Romans 8:32 – “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?”  Here, “His own son” refers to God the Son, the only begotten Son of God.  The Father God sent His only begotten Son to this earth, and Jesus, the only begotten Son, came to this earth in obedience to the will of the Father God.  Among the eight visions that the prophet Zechariah saw, the first was the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to the human world (Zech. 1:8).  The vision he saw was of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, standing [the word that the only begotten was standing three times (vv. 8, 10, 11)].  The Bible mainly depicts Jesus Christ sitting at the right hand of God (Mk. 16:19; Lk. 22:69; Col. 3:1; Heb.  1:3; 10:12; 12:2).  But Stephen saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God before he...

Am I serious about my sin?

Am I serious about my sin? "If God was so serious about sin that he sacrificed his own Son and filled us with his own Spirit, how can we be any less serious about our sins of heart and behavior?"   [Paul David Tripp, "INSTRUMENTS IN THE REDEEMER'S HANDS"]
