우리가 바라고 기다리는 것은 예수님의 재림입니다!

 우리가 바라고 기다리는 것은 예수님의 재림입니다!       “ 백성들이 바라고 기다리므로 모든 사람들이 요한을 혹 그리스도신가 심중에 생각하니 ”[( 현대인의 성경 ) “ 백성들은 메시야를 무척 기다리고 있었으므로 혹시 요한이 그가 아닌가 하고 모두 속으로 생각하고 있었다 ”]( 누가복음 3:15) 하는 말씀을 묵상하면서 주시는 교훈을 받고자 합니다 :     (1)     저는 이 말씀을 묵상할 때 “ 백성들이 바라고 기다리 ” 고 있었던 분은 “ 메시야 ” 요 ( 눅 3:15, 현대인의 성경 ), 그들이 얼마나 메시야를 바라고 기다렸으면 세례 요한이 혹시 메시야가 아닌가 하고 속으로 생각까지 하였을까 하는 생각이 들었습니다 .   (a)     이러한 생각 속에서 든 생각은 제가 풀러 신학교를 다녔을 때 김세윤 교수님으로부터 배운 유대인들의 메시아적 기대 (Messianic expectation) 3 가지가 생각났습니다 : (1) 정치적 해방 (Political freedom), (2) 경제적 풍부 (Economic prosperity), (3) 사회적 공의 (Social justice)( 김세윤 ).   (i)                       세례 요한이 요단강 부근의 여러 지방을 다니며 죄를 용서받게 하려고 회개의 세례를 전파하였을 당시 (3 절 , 현대인의 성경 ) 유대인들은 메시아가 오시면 자기들을 지배하고 다스리고 있었던 로마 ...

Worship-witnesses (Romans 12:1-2)

Worship-witnesses           [Romans 12:1-2]     What is your life purpose?   What are you living for?   In the book “Purpose Driven Life” by Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, he says there are 5 benefits to living a purpose driven life (Warren):   (1)    The first benefit is that knowing purpose gives meaning to life.   Without God there can be no purpose in life, and life without purpose is meaningless.   Without meaning there is no importance or hope.   A young man in his 20s wrote: ‘I must be a failure because I am struggling to become something, but I don't really know what I am trying to become. All I know how to do is live roughly.   One day I will feel that I am beginning to live only when I find my purpose in life.’   Are we living while feeling the meaning of life?   (2)    The second benefit is that life becomes simpler when we know our purp...

WORSHIP

 WORSHIP "Worship ...   a reminder that God is at the heart of everything that we do and are.   He is the one for whom and by whom we exist: he is our Creator, our Redeemer, and our Sustainer.   The Lord is our Rock and our Refuge, our Shepherd and our Savior.   ...   In worship we turn our hearts away from ourselves and our preoccupations and toward our true center, God himself, experiencing and enjoying his presence in our midst.   That worship, the enjoyment of who God is and his favor toward us in Christ, is to be what we seek above all things."   ( Iain M.

What is worship?

What is worship? "... worship is 'the work of acknowledging the greatness of God.'   This definition implies that worship is for the sake of God, not ourselves. ...   The definition also implies that worship is active, not passive: the work of acknowledging God's greatness.   ...   In Scripture, the language of worship is used both broadly and narrowly.   In the narrow sense, worship is what we do when we gather to honor God's greatness (Heb.10:25).   In the broader sense, it is laying down one's own body as a living sacrifice and therefore not being conformed to the world(Rom.12:1-2).   In this sense, all of life is worship (cf. Eph.5:1-2; Phil.4:18; Heb.13:15-16; James 1:26-27)."   (John M. Frame)
