오늘의 묵상
예수님이 우리 주님이고 구원자라고 이야기하곤 하지만, 그분의 목소리를 무시해버리기가 참으로 쉽다는 것을 또한 알게 됩니다. 4복음서(마태, 마가, 누가, 요한복음)을 올해가 가기전에 다 읽어보자는 다짐을 각각 해봅시다. 또한 읽을 때에 예수님의 마음을 탐구하는 동시에, 하나님께 그분을 더욱 잘 알게 해달라고 기도합시다.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we often talk about Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can also find it easy to ignore his voice, or worse, hear Jesus' words and ignore them. Our obedience to what Jesus says demonstrates that we have put our faith in him. To foolishly disobey, ignore, or neglect to do what Jesus says is to show that we don't believe him to be our Lord to DO what he says to us as our Lord! Jesus promised a very rude awakening at judgment for those who take this attitude (Matthew 7:21-27). So, let's commit to reading through each of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) before the end of the year. As we read about Jesus' life and teachings, let's do it as a search for the heart of Jesus and ask God to help us know him better and follow him more thoroughly and more obediently as the Holy Spirit conforms us to be more like him (2 Corinthians 3:18)!
내 기도
사랑하는 아버지, 예수님께 구심점을 두고 있는 당신의 성경을 읽고, 예수님을 더 잘 알도록 추구하며 그 말씀에 더욱 신실하게 순종하려 애쓰는 저와함께 해 주십시오. 하나님의 아들이며 인자이신 예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Be with me, dear Father, as I seek to know Jesus better and obey his words more faithfully as I read your holy Scriptures, which find their center in him. So, I pray for obedience in my daily life in the name of my Lord, Jesus, the Son of God, the Son of Man, and my Savior. Amen.
