[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

하나님은 우리가 아는 것보다 훨씬 크십니다. 하나님을 제한하는 것은 불신앙입니다.
한줄노트 하나님을 우리 사고의 틀에 가두는 것은 무서운 불신앙입니다. 하나님은 우리의 생각보다훨씬 크신 분입니다. - P73

 "많은 사역자들이 예수 그리스도를홀로 내버려두고 의무감이나 자신의 특별한 판단에 따라 일합니다." 먼저 예수님을 홀로 둔다는 것의 의미를 알아야 합니다. 많은 사역자들이 하나님의 일을 한다고 하면서 자신의 종교적 이해‘를 의지합니다. 그러나 종교적인 일과 신앙적인일 사이에는 분명한 차이가 있습니다. - P74

주님께 순종하면 세상이 우리를 조롱할 수 있습니다. 순종을 가능케 하는 것은우리의 믿음입니다. 순종이 주님을 좇아 빛 가운데 행하는 것임을 믿습니다. "아버지께서 일하시니 나도 일한다"(요 5:17). 주님과 함께 일하는 것은 우리보다 앞서서 일하신 주님을 좇아가는 것입니다. 순종하는 자는 주님과 동행하는 사람입니다. 주님의 능력을 경험하며 살아가는 사람입니다. - P74

2They will put you out of the...

2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.

3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. - P134

7But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. - P134

13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. - P135

14He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

15All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you." - P135

Jesus explains that when He is no longer with them, He will send the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, who will prove the world to be wrong about sin, righteousness, and judgment. - P136

The Spirit who dwells within us continues to lead and guide us so that we can serve the Lord with pure hearts and minds. - P136

May we be ever dependent on our Advocate to ensure that nothing will hinder us from walking in righteousness with our God. - P136

Jesus wants to explain even more to the disciples, but they are not able to bear all the information now. Later, with the help of the Holy Spirit, they will receive more of the truth because the Spirit will tell them what they need to know. - P136

Today, we continue to understand the truth of God because of the Holy Spirit. He not only illuminates Scripture for us so that we can better understand it; He also helps transform our hearts and mind - P136

Through the Spirit, convict me of my sins so that I may repent immediately, and open my eyes when I read Your Word so that I may understand You better and give You all the glory. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P137

However, as Jesus states in John 16, the Holy Spirit proves that the worldis wrong about sin, righteousness, and judgment. The truth is that we arenot enough when it comes to standing before the holy God, but because ofJesus‘ work on the cross, we can admit that we fall short and are in need ofHis forgiveness. We can repent of our sins and receive God‘s mercy anew.
Jesus becomes the answer to calm our anxiety because only He can offertrue peace. - P137

주님을 의지한다는 것이 말로는 쉽지만, 자신의 능력과 형편을 보면 출구가 보이지 않습니다.

주님의 사역의 빈곤한 까닭은 우리가 주님의 능력을 제한하고 있기 때문입니다. 주님의 거룩하심과 전능하심을 믿지 않고 있기 때문입니다. 부활이 없는 우리의 믿음은 예수님의 사역을 빈곤하게 만들 뿐입니다. - P73

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 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

 "의심은주께서 내 문제를 어떻게 해결하실지를 스스로 고민하게 되면서 생겨납니다." 주님의 대한 의심은 자신의 ‘열등의식‘에서 출발합니다. 깊은 자기 연민에 빠지면,

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."
