오노평지 회담제의(會談堤議)를 거절(拒絶)하는 느헤미야
2024.5.4
(느6:1-14)
1 When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it--though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates-- 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: "Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono." But they were scheming to harm me; 3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?" 4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer. 5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter 6 in which was written: "It is reported among the nations--and Geshem says it is true--that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king 7 and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: 'There is a king in Judah!' Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us confer together." 8 I sent him this reply: "Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head." 9 They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed." But I prayed,"Now strengthen my hands." 10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, "Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you--by night they are coming to kill you." 11 But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Or should one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!" 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me. 14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who have been trying to intimidate me.
산발랏 도비야 게셈
그들이 만나서 대화를 하자 한 장소 ‘오노’
그들의 계략을 이미 알고 있는 느헤미야
결코 그들의 살해음모(殺害陰謀)에 말려들지 않는다
이는 단순히 제 목숨 구원코자 함이라기 보다
하나님께서 주신 성벽재건사역(城壁再建事役)이 최우선(最優先)이었기 까닭
하나님을 모르는
도리어 하나님 사역 훼방자들과 나눌 이야기가 전혀 없었기 까닭이었다는 생각이 든다
느헤미야를 통해서
나도
더욱
나의 길을 묵묵히 걸어가야 하겠다는 생각을 굳힌다
내 주변에 있는 목사들조차 나라와 민족을 생각한다는 이유로
기독교가 기독교 다워야 한다는 명목으로
예수님 말씀하심과는 동떨어진
본훼퍼(1906-1945)의 논리를 추종하는 전가화를 예찬(禮讚)함에도...
나는
가리라
주의 길을...
내게 깨달음을 주시는 성령의 조명하심을 따라...

♬ 주의 길을 가리 m0153-1491
1. 비바람이 갈 길을 막아도 나는 가리
주의 길을 가리
눈보라가 앞길을 가려도 나는 가리
주의 길을 가리
이 길은 영광의길 이 길은 승리의 길
나를 구원하신 주님이
십자가 지고 가신 길
후 렴
나는 가리라 주의 길을 가리라
주님 발자취 따라 나는 가리라
나는 가리라 주의 길을 가리라
주님 발자취 따라 나는 가리라
2. 험한 파도 앞길을 막아도 나는 가리
주의 길을 가리
모진 바람 앞길을 가려도 나는 가리
주의 길을 가리
이 길은 고난의길 이 길은 생명의 길
나를 구원하신 주님이
십자가 지고 가신 길
