오늘의 묵상
예수님께서 자신을 "좋은 목자"라고 선언하셨을 때에는 우리를 위해 자기 목숨을 바치시겠다는 뜻으로 말씀하신 것입니다! 하지만 미가 선지자가 예언했던 대로 능력과 위엄과 안전과 평화 모두를 의미하기도 합니다.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As followers of Christ Jesus, God's Messiah, we believe this prophecy speaks of the Lord's coming. So when Jesus proclaimed that he is the ''Good Shepherd," he demonstrated it by laying down his life for us, his sheep! For us, however, Jesus as our "Good Shepherd" means all Micah promised — strength, majesty, security, peace, and much more (John 10:10-18). Our Shepherd, Jesus, means everything to us now and forevermore! We live securely, knowing that our eternal lives are in his hands. We know that when he comes back for us in glory, we will share that glory with him (Colossians 3:1-4). Most of all, Jesus is our assurance of eternal shalom — more than just peace amid life's storms, we can be assured of our well-being amid times of trouble until we share life forever in his glory.
내 기도
사랑하시며 영원히 계시는 하나님, 저를 위해 희생하는 목자가 되라고 예수님을 보내셨으니 참으로 감사드립니다. 미친듯이 달려가는 세상에서 그의 능력이 저를 지탱하고, 그의 위엄이 저를 압도하며, 그의 안에서 미래를 맞이할 때 안전과 평화를 찾게 됩니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Loving and eternal God, thank you so very much for sending Jesus to be my sacrificial Shepherd. In a world gone crazy, his strength sustains me, his majesty overwhelms me, and in him, I find my security and peace as I face the future. In the name of Jesus, I thank you. Amen.
