PANNING FOR GOLD 금 골라내기
알라스카에서 휴가를 보내는 동안 우리는 페어뱅크스 인근의 엘도라도 금광을 방문하였습니다.
While on vacation in Alaska,
we visited the El Dorado Gold Mine near Fairbanks.
광산과 골드러시 시절의 채광 기법 시범을 견학한 후에
우리는 직접 금을 골라내는 일을 해보았습니다.
After a tour and demonstrations
of mining techniques during Gold Rush days,
we got to do a little panning for gold.
각자에게 얕은 냄비 하나와 흙과 돌이 들어있는 자루가 하나씩 주어졌습니다.
자루에 들어있는 것을 냄비에다 쏟은 다음 물을 붓고 이리저리 흔들어
모래흙은 뜨고 무거운 금이 밑으로 가라앉게 했습니다.
Each person was given a pan and a bag of dirt and stones.
After pouring the contents into the pan,
we added water from a trough and swirled it
around to stir up the silt and allow the gold,
which is heavy, to sink to the bottom.
바로 전에 숙련공들이 하는 것을 보았는데도 우리는 좀처럼 금을 골라내지 못했습니다.
그 이유는 값진 것을 버리게 될까 무서워 값어치 없는 돌들을 버리지 못했기 때문이었습니다.
Even though we had watched experts,
we made little progress.
The reason?
Concerned about discarding something of value,
we were unwilling to throw away worthless stones.
이 경험은 우리의 소유물이 진정 귀중한 것을 찾는 데
때로는 방해물이 된다는 것을 생각나게 해주었습니다.
This reminded me of how possessions sometimes keep us
from fi-nding what is truly valuable.
예수님은 이런 상황에 처한 부자 청년을 만나셨습니다.
그에게는 세상의 부요가 영적인 보화보다 더 중요했습니다.
Jesus had an encounter with a rich man for whom this was true.
His earthly wealth was more important to him
than spiritual treasure.
예수님은 “재물이 있는 자는 하나님의 나라에 들어가기가 얼마나 어려운지”라고 말씀하셨습니다.
Jesus said,
“How hard it is for those who have riches
to enter the kingdom of God!”.
비록 돈이 악은 아니지만, 돈을 모으는 것이 삶의 목적이 되면
그것은 우리로 참된 부를 상속받지 못하게 방해할 수 있습니다.
Although money is not evil,
it can prevent us from inheriting true riches
if accumulating it is the goal of our lives.
탐욕스럽게 재물을 축적하는 것은 어리석은 일입니다.
우리를 시련에서 지켜주고 하나님께 감사와 찬양과 영광을 돌리게 하는 것은
금이 아니라 진정한 믿음이기 때문입니다.
To hoard wealth is foolish,
for it is genuine faith, not gold,
that will sustain us through trials and result
in praise, honor, and glory to God. -Julie Ackerman Link
Luke 18:18-30
The rich ruler |
[눅] 18:18 |
A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
[눅] 18:19 |
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone. |
[눅] 18:20 |
You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'" |
[눅] 18:21 |
"All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said. |
[눅] 18:22 |
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." |
[눅] 18:23 |
When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. |
[눅] 18:24 |
Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! |
[눅] 18:25 |
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." |
[눅] 18:26 |
Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?" |
[눅] 18:27 |
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." |
[눅] 18:28 |
Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!" |
[눅] 18:29 |
"I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God |
[눅] 18:30 |
will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life." |
I’d rather have Jesus
than silver or gold, I’d rather be His
than have riches untold; I’d rather have Jesus
than houses or lands, I’d rather be led
by His nail-pierced hands. |

Keep your eyes on Jesus
so you don’t allow earthly riches to blind you to spiritual riches.

주 예수보다 더 귀한 것은 없네 이 세상 부귀와 바꿀 수 없네 영 죽을 내 대신 돌아가신 그 놀라운 사랑 잊지 못해

세상 재물 때문에
당신의 영적 부요에 눈멀지 않도록 예수님께 초점을 맞춰라.
