[오늘의 한문장] 하나님 나라 복음과 제자도

즉, 예수님은 유월절축제 기간에 당신이 죽임당할 것을 예견하시고 성만찬을 제정하시면서(눅 22:19) 당신의 십자가 죽음을 ‘새로운 출애굽‘ 사건으로 이해하도록 만드셨습니다. 유월절은 하나님이 이집트의 압제로부터 이스라엘 백성을 해방해 끌어내시고(출 12장) 언약을 맺으심으로써 (출 24장) 그들을 새로운 하나님의 백성으로 창조하신 출애굽 사건을 기념하는 절기입니다.  - P94

이 첫 번째 출애굽 사건에서 이스라엘은 이집트 제국에 노예 된 상태(사탄의 외부로부터의억압을 상징함)로부터 풀려난 후, 내면의 부패(원망, 불신, 우상숭배•등 죄의 내부로부터의 속박을 상징함)를 극복하도록(출 15:26, "나는 너ㅣ를 치료하는 여호와임이라") 번제와 화목제 황소의 "언약의 피"(출245,8)로써 하나님과 언약을 맺고 율법을 부여받습니다.  - P94

이에 대응하는 새로운 출애굽 사건은 예수님이 하나님 백성의 대표자로서 유월절 양과 언약의 제물이 되셔서 십자가에서 ‘언약의 피‘(막14:24)를 쏟으심을 통해 예수님을 믿는 자들이 하나님과 새 언약을 맺고, 하나님이 그들을 사탄의 외적 억압과 죄의 내적 속박으로부터 해방하여 하나님 백성으로 창조하시는 사건입니다.  - P94

1The Lord said to Moses, 2˝S...

1The Lord said to Moses,

2"Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders."

3So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites. - P72

17When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, "Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.

18See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.

19What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?

20How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land." (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

21So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath.

22They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.

24That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there.

- P73

God tells Moses to send twelve spies, one from each tribe, into Canaan toexplore the land.  - P73

The spies travel through the land for forty days, observingits fertility and its defenses, including its large fortified cities and the strengthefits inhabitants. They take with them some of the fruit of the land. - P73

The Lord instructs Moses to send twelve men, one from each tribe, to explore the promised land. Their mission is clear: observe the land, the people who live there, the quality of the soil, and the fruit that grows there. They are also tasked with bringing back some of the land’s produce. - P74

This exploration is not about doubting God’s promise; the leaders actually begin to see its fulfillment as they gain insight and understanding about the journey ahead. - P74

As we go forward in our journey with the Lord, we do not walk blindly. When God calls us to a task, we can serve Him with both faith and understanding as we seek His insight and wisdom. - P74

Knowing the challenges ahead helps us to pray specifically and prepare with clarity. - P74

The twelve men sent to explore the promised land spend forty days surveying its people, geography, and resources. Their journey reveals a land flowing with abundance, just as God had promised. They return with tangible evidence-a single cluster of grapes so large that it has to be carried on apole between two men. This moment confirms the faithfulness of God.  - P74

Theabundance of the land is proof of His word, but the people are still requiredto enter and possess it.  - P74

God gives us glimpses of His provision and faithful-ness, but walking into His promises requires courage, trust, and obedience.
- P74

God invites us to trust Him more deeply as we journey toward His promise. - P74

Lord, thank you for calling me to walk by faith and giving me opportunities to seek wisdom and understanding. - P74

Open my eyes to see what You have placed before me. Help me to discern the path ahead, and give me the courage to face any obstacles. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P74

God converses with us primarily through His words in Scripture.
We can also use His words to respond to Him.
Use the following guide to pray through this week‘s memory verse.
Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face ofthe earth. Numbers 12:3 - P75

Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
[5] You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. [6] Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. [7] Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, [8] he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. [9] Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, [10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - P75

˝아무리 연약한 성도라도 그의 모든 것을 내려놓으면...

 "아무리 연약한 성도라도 그의 모든 것을 내려놓으면 하나님의 아들의 거룩한 능력을 체험할 수 있습니다." 내려놓음. 즉 순종은 ‘전적인 위임‘이며 그리스도께 우리 삶을 ‘양도하는 것입니다. 챔버스는 ‘let go‘, ‘그분이하시도록‘이라는 표현을 썼습니다. 우리의 의지가 개입되지 않고 오로지 그분이행하시도록 내버려두는 것입니다. We have to keep letting go‘, 일회적이 아니라 계속적으로 말입니다. - P124

그분이 일하시도록 계속해서 우리 삶을 양도할 때 하나님의 생명이 천천히 충만하게, 그리고 확실하게 우리 삶의 전 영역에 임합니다. 주님께서 일하시도록 우리를 양도할 때 우리는 스스로 붙잡고 있던 것을 놓게 됩니다. 이때 우리는 비로소우리가 주님과 함께하고 있다는 사실을 알게 됩니다. 순종하는 순간 우리 삶에서그분의 능력이 나타납니다. 주님이 부여하신 삶을 살게 됩니다.  - P124

Psalms 55:22 NLT
[22] Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. - P125

 "네 짐을 여호와께 맡기라 그가 너를 붙드시고 의인의 요동함을 영원히 허락하지 아니하시리로다"(시 55:22). ‘맡긴다‘는 말은 주님과의 관계‘와 연관이 있습니다. 주님의 일을 하면서 우리가 져야 하는 짐은 주님과의 관계가 끊어지는 순간 감당할 수 없을 정도로 무거워집니다. 하지만 주님께서 맡겨주신 짐을 주님과의 관계 속에서 지고 갈 때는 주님께서 그 짐을 맡아주십니다.
"주님은 주님의 역사를 드러내시면서 우리의 책임감을 제거해 주십니다. " - P125

" 하나님께서 우리에게 주신 짐은 포기하라고 주신 것이 아니라, 주님께 맡기라고 주신것입니다. 하나님께 짐을 맡길 때 하나님과 함께하고 있음을 느끼게 됩니다. - P125

한줄노트 영적 탈진에서 벗어나는 유일한 길은 우리의 짐을 주님께 맡기는 것입니다.

9The anger of the Lord burned...

9The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them.

10When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous—it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,

- P68

11and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. - P68

13So Moses cried out to the Lord, "Please, God, heal her!"

14The Lord replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back." - P69

When the Lord’s presence lifts, Miriam is left with a severe skin disease that renders her ceremonially unclean. In a moment of desperation, Aaron turns to Moses and pleads for mercy, acknowledging their wrongdoing in criticizing Moses. This scene highlights the danger of familiarity breeding contempt. - P70

Proximity to leadership or spiritual authority can sometimes cause us to lose sight of God’s anointing on others. Despite their being siblings, Moses had a special calling from God, and Aaron and Miriam’s disregard for this fact led to serious consequences. Yet, here we also see the power of humility and repentance. - P70

True restoration begins with recognizing our sin, confessing it, and seeking forgiveness. - P70

This act of humility is crucial for healing broken relationships—with God and with others. - P70

When Aaron pleads for mercy, Moses responds with compassion and intercedes for Miriam’s healing. God answers Moses’s prayer but requires that Miriam be isolated outside the camp for seven days in line with the ceremonial laws previously given to Moses. This period of isolation causes the entire Israelite community to pause their journey until she is restored. - P70

Sin has far-reaching consequences, especially when leadership is involved. - P70

Personal failures can impact an entire community. But repentance and intercession are also powerful in bringing about restoration. - P70

Moses cares about reconciliation between God and His people, and his intercession stands in the gap for others, even those who have wronged him.

Merciful Father, I come before You, acknowledging that I have not always honored others as I should. - P71

Thank you for Your patience with me. Teach me to walk in humility, confess my wrongs, and seek forgiveness when needed. In Your Son’s name, amen. - P71

챔버스가 말하는 ‘주님을 닮음‘은 주님과 함께 십자가...

챔버스가 말하는 ‘주님을 닮음‘은 주님과 함께 십자가에 못 박힌 사람에게 나타나는 현상입니다. 이는 성령님이 추상적인 존재가 아닌, 실제적인 인격이라는 것을 말합니다. 인격은 상호작용하며 영향을 주는 존재이기 때문입니다. - P123

부활하신 주님의 영이 우리 안에 들어오면 우리 삶은 주님께 재조정됩니다. 이때 비로소 우리는 온전한 의미의 ‘거룩‘이라는 말을 사용할 수 있습니다. 
- P123

우리 삶이 온전히 부활하신 주님과 함께 ‘재조정될 때, 그 거룩은 참 거룩이 됩니다. 그 거룩에는 주의 생명이 드러나기 때문입니다. - P123

사도 바울의 십자가와 부활 신학을 요약하자면 다음과 같습니다. "예수 그리스도의 죽음에 일치되는 도덕적인 결단을 내리고 나면 예수님의 부활 생명이 인간 본성의 모든 부분을 점령한다는 것입니다. 부활 생명이 육신의 모든 부분에 침투해 들어가는 것은 아주 강력한 성령의 역사로 가능합니다.  - P123

도덕적 결단‘을 내리는 순간, 우리가 죄에 대해 죽었다는 사실이 명백해집니다. 그 안에 예수의 생명‘이 있기 때문입니다.  - P123

Romans 6:9-11 NLT
[9] We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. [10] When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. [11] So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

- P124

영생은 도덕적 결단과 밀접한 연관이 있습니다. 죄에 대하여죽으면 우리에게도 주님께 나타났던 능력과 권능이 임합니다. 도덕적 결단은 우리 의지이지만 능력과 권능은 전적인 하나님의 은혜입니다.  - P124

 ‘십자가만이 예수님의생명을 우리에게 전달하는 통로가 됩니다. 하지만 우리가 그리스도와 연합하기로 결단하지 않는다면 십자가의 능력이 전달되지 못합니다.  - P124

"우리가 하나님과 화목하는 것이 어렵다면 이는 우리가 죄에 대해 확실한 결단을 내리지 않았기 때문입니다." ‘영생‘은 ‘시간‘과 관계되지 않습니다. ‘영생‘은 예수 그리스도께서 이땅에 오셨을 때 사셨던 그 생명입니다. 그러므로 영생의 유일한 근거는 예수 그리스도 자신입니다. - P124

챔버스는 let go‘ ‘그분하시도록‘이라는 표현을 썼습니다. 우리의 의지가 개입되지 않고 오로지 그분행하시도록 내버려두는 것입니다. We have to keep letting go‘, 일회적이 ㄷ니라 계속적으로 말입니다. - P124

 순종하는 순간 우리 삶에서그분의 능력이 나타납니다. 주님이 부여하신 삶을 살게 됩니다. 그러나 아무리 작은 것이라도 우리 능력을 주장하는 순간 주님의 생명을 가리게 될 것입니다.
- P124

한줄노트 아무리 연약한 성도라도 ‘내려놓으면‘ 주님의 거룩한 능력을 체험할 수 있습니다. 반면에 아무리 작은 능력이라도 우리의 능력을 주장하면 주님의 생명이 가려집니다. - P124
