25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

26"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. - P131

 Jesus promises thatthe Holy Spirit will testify about Him and they, too, must testify because theyhave been with Him from the beginning. - P131

Our endurance in this world will not be in vain because living like Christ is worth the cost. - P132

ultimately, bringing people to salvation is a spiritual battle. - P132

we have the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who works through our words and actions so that we can effectively testify about who Jesus is and what He has don. - P132

The Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son and seeks to glorify them. We can call upon the Spirit with confidence, knowing that He will fill us and help us point others to the truth about Christ. May we be bold and unafraid, trusting in the guidance of the Advocate. - P132

Help me to persevere with wisdom and boldness, and fill me with Your Spirit so that I may testify effectively about Your gospel of grace. In Your name I pray, amen. - P133

챔버스가 가진 섬김의 기준은 주님을 닮으려고 했던 사...

챔버스가 가진 섬김의 기준은 주님을 닮으려고 했던 사도 바울의 모습이었습니다. 십자가에서 죽기까지 우리를 위해 섬기셨던 주님의 모습이그에게 있었습니다. 기꺼이 ‘찢겨진 빵과 부어지는 포도주‘가 되는 모습입니다.
- P71

섬김은 한 생명이라도 더 얻기 위해 스스로 궁핍을 자처하는 것입니다. 성도의진정한 섬김은 생명을 얻는 것입니다. - P71

자신의 능력에 빗대어, 자신의 상식의 기준에 맞추어 주님을 생각하니 답이 보이지 않는 것입니다.
한줄노트 의심은 주님을 향해 열려야 할 눈이 자신이 가지고 있는 능력을 바라볼 때 찾아옵니다. - P72

 "의심은주께서 내 문제를 어떻게 해결하실지를 스스로 고민하게 되면서 생겨납니다." 주님의 대한 의심은 자신의 ‘열등의식‘에서 출발합니다. 깊은 자기 연민에 빠지면,
예수님조차도 이러한 일을 해결할 수 없다고 생각합니다. 결국은 주님을 불신하는 거짓 경건‘입니다.  - P72

이러한 의심이 들 때, 우리가 해야 하는 가장 적절한 행동은 마음속 깊은 곳에 있는 의심을 빛 가운데로 끄집어내 고백하는 것입니다. "주님, 당신에 대해 제가 의심했습니다. 주님의 지혜를 믿지 않고 제 능력만 믿었습니다. 제 이해의 한계를 초월하시는 주님의 전능하신 능력을 믿지 못했습니다."
의심을 해결하는 방법은 우리의 믿음 없음을 감추는 것이 아니라, 정직하게 가지고 나오는 것입니다.
- P72

한줄 노트 의심이 고개를 들 때는 주님을 향해 도움을 요청해야 합니다. "주님 저를 도와주세요!" - P72

9˝As the Father has loved me,...

9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. - P126

10If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. - P126

12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. - P126

14You are my friends if you do what I command. - P127

15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. - P127

We obey the Lord out of love! Just as a child obeys a faithful parent who is loving and trustworthy, we obey the Father’s commands because we love, trust, and delight in Him. - P128

Jesus proclaims a revolutionary statement when He tells His disciples that He no longer calls them servants but friends. He explains that true, loving friends are those who are willing to lay down their lives for one another.  - P128

I love that story. The man is quoting Ephesians 1:4, which states, "For hechose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blamelessin his sight." All Christians agree that God chose to make a way for sinnersto be saved even before God said, "Let there be light" (Gen. 1:3). Godwas willing to pay the price to save humanity before any of us proved ourworth.  - P129

We know that God chose you and me not because we are smarteror better-looking-and certainly not because we are holier than others. Hechose us out of sheer grace! - P129

주님을 사랑하는 마음으로 하지 않는 섬김이 얼마나 이...

주님을 사랑하는 마음으로 하지 않는 섬김이 얼마나 이기적인지 알아야합니다. 하나님의 영이 하나님의 사랑을 우리 안에 부으실 때, 그리스도와 동일한 관심을 가지게 됩니다. 이 일치된 관심에서 우리는 ‘자신의 애착‘의 시험을 극복합니다. - P70

 "예수 그리스도는 자신의 유익을 추구하는 사람을 쓰실 수없습니다. 전적으로 예수님께 헌신되었다는 것은 자신의 유익을 위해 섬기지 않는다는 뜻입니다." 하나님을 사랑한다고 하면서 ‘자신의 거룩‘을 위해 세상과 멀리 떨어져 있다면, 하나님의 마음이 무엇인지 모르는 것입니다.  - P70

세상과 떨어져 있는 사람을 하나님께서 어떻게 ‘세상을 구원하는 도구‘로 사용하실 수 있겠습니까?  - P70

하나님과 사랑에 빠질 때, 우리는 자신의 유익을 구하지 않는 사람이 됩니다. 사랑에 빠졌다는 증거는 사랑하는 사람을 위한 완전한 헌신입니다. 사랑에 빠진 사람은 헌신의 즐거움을 압니다. 사랑하는 사람을 위해 온전히 자신의 몸을 내어놓는 즐거움은 결코 과장이 아닙니다. - P70

섬김은 한 생명이라도 더 얻기 위해 스스로 궁핍을 자처하는 것입니다. 성도의진정한 섬김은 생명을 얻는 것입니다. - P71

예수님이 제자들에게 가르쳐주신 섬김의 도가 있습니다. 하나님의 나라에서는 가장 위대한 사람이 모든 사람을 섬기는 종이 되어야 한다는 것이었습니다. "도의 진가는 복음을 가르치는 것이 아니라 제자들의 발을 씻는것입니다. 즉, 사람들에게는 중요하지 않지만 하나님께서 중요하게 여기시는것을 행하는 것입니다 - P71

1˝I am the true vine, and my ...

1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. - P122

3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

4Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. - P122

7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. - P123

The most telling mark of a Christian is not doctrine, church attendance, ordevotional practices; it is one‘s lifestyle. The attitudes we hold, the behaviors we display both privately and publicly-these things are the acid testof the Christian life. Jesus refers to these things as fruit.  - P124

The way this fruitis produced in our lives is through an ongoing relationship with Christ.
- P124

From the early daysof the church to the end of the age, Jesus‘ call to His people is the same:
"Remain in me" (v. 4). - P124
