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 .

‘Wait for what the Father had promised’ (Acts 1:1-5)

‘Wait for what the Father had promised’           [Acts 1:1-5]     In a verse from a children's song, there are lyrics like this: ‘Promise with your pinky finger tightly crossed.’   It's a verse that young children enjoy singing when making promise.   However, it seems they understand that promise can be easily broken, as the method and procedure for reaffirming promise continue to evolve.   Initially, they would simply hook their pinky fingers, but at some point, after hooking their pinky fingers, they stamp it with their thumbs as a sort of "seal."   Now, after making the promise and sealing it, they say "copy" to each other while pressing their palms together.   This means that the promise has been duplicated, so it must be kept.   Some children go even further and add a step of signing on the palm after copying the promise.   It's their own triple or quadruple lock system for promises (Internet). ...

A debtor (2) (Romans 8:12-17)

                         A debtor (2)       [Romans 8:12-17]     How should we live as debtors?     First, as debtors, we must not live according to the sinful nature.   In a word, as debtors, we should not live according to the sinful nature (Rom. 8:12). We must live by putting to death the misdeeds of the body by the Spirit of Christ (v. 13).   We must live as servants of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God (v. 14), obeying God's laws (commands).   The Scripture says that these Christians are “sons of God” (v. 14).   Second, as debtors, we must live like children of God.   Look at Romans 8:16 – “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.”   What does it mean to live like children of God?   (1)    God’s children call God “Abba, Father.”   Look ...

Those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1-11)

Those who are in Christ Jesus           [Romans 8:1-11]     There may be hymns or gospel songs that you like.   And you probably have a reason why you like that hymn or gospel song.   Personally, when I see brothers and sisters in Christ whom I love around me suffering from hard work, I often exhort them by quoting the lyrics of the 2nd verse of the gospel song “We Will Keep Our Faith Alive”: “We will live as God has planned though at times we may not understand.   Many things we may not see, but our faith will help us believe.   From His word we learn the truth; through His love we all are born a new. ….”   I don't know how much comfort and strength these lyrics are.   Although it is difficult to fathom what the Lord intends, there are many times when I am personally strengthened and comforted by the fact that I am always in the Lord's will.   In the midst of this, I began to ponder a little in...

The Word became flesh (3) (John 1:1-4, 9-14)

The Word became flesh (3)     [John 1:1-4, 9-14]                     The Bible says that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who is “the Word,” is also God.  Look at John 1:1 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  The Bible says that Jesus Christ, who is “the Word,” is “God.”  Look at Isaiah 9:6 – “ For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”   This is the word prophesied by the prophet Isaiah about the birth (incarnation) of the Son Jesus, and refers to Jesus who will come as “Mighty God.”   Look at 1 John 5:20 – “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son...
