주님께 순종하면 세상이 우리를 조롱할 수 있습니다. 순종을 가능케 하는 것은우리의 믿음입니다. 순종이 주님을 좇아 빛 가운데 행하는 것임을 믿습니다.  - P74

"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

우리는 과거에 실패했던 기억으로 인해 주님의 능력을 제한하려 합니다. 그러나오히려 불가능한 일이기 때문에 주님께 부탁해야 합니다. 당시 맹인이 눈을 뜨는 건 불가능한 일이었지만, 주님과 완전히 일치된 바디매오에게는 옛 삶의 흔적이 남지 않게 되었습니다.  - P75

중요한 사실은 그분의 전능하심을 믿고 나아온 바디매오의 기도를 들어주셨다는 것입니다. 바디매오의 믿음과 주님의 능력이 만나 맹인이 눈을 뜨게 되었습니다. "믿음이란 주님께서 하신 말씀의 내용만을 믿기보다주님 그분을 믿는 것입니다." - P75

[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

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

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

[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

주님을 의지한다는 것이 말로는 쉽지만, 자신의 능력과 형편을 보면 출구가 보이지 않습니다.
자신의 능력에 빗대어, 자신의 상식의 기준에 맞추어 주님을 생각하니 답이 보이지 않는 것입니다. - P72

"의심은주께서 내 문제를 어떻게 해결하실지를 스스로 고민하게 되면서 생겨납니다. 주님의 대한 의심은 자신의 ‘열등의식에서 출발합니다. 깊은 자기 연민에 빠지면,
예수님조차도 이러한 일을 해결할 수 없다고 생각합니다. 결국은 주님을 불신하는 거짓 경건‘입니다. 이러한 의심이 들 때, 우리가 해야 하는 가장 적절한 행동은 마음속 깊은 곳에 있는 외심을 빛 가운데로 끄집어내 고백하는 것입니다.  - P72

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

하나님은 우리ㄱ아는 것보다 훨씬 크십니다. 하나님을 제한하는 것은 불신앙입니다.
