(고후5:11-6:2)
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 1 As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. 2 For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
주님 나를 위해 죽으셨으니
값으로 산 바 되어
내가 나의 것이 아닌
하나님의 것이라
말한 바울의 표현처럼
이제 더 이상 이 땅의 것들을 목적하여 살지 말고
본마음이든 정상적인 마음이든 무론하고
주님을 위하여 살아야 할 것...
누구든지
그리스도 안에 있으면
새로운
피조물이라
이전 것은 지나갔으니
보라
새것이
되었도다
그 새롭게 된 존재에 대하여
바울은 오늘
새로운 직분이 주어졌음을 ...
나에게는 이미 오래전에 주어진 것임을...
말해주는데
그것은
내가
그리스도의 대사(大使,ambassdor)의 신분 이라는 것
하여
그 직분 제대로 감당하려면
우선
하나님과 화해(reconciliation) 해야 할 것이요
하나님 주신 은혜를
헛되게 하지 말아야 할 것이요
하나님 주신 때
은혜 베푸실 때 구원 베푸실 때를 놓치지 말아야 할 것이라...
요즘
내게
늘 그러신
주님의 화답
내 기도에 대한 응답
은혜
섭리
공작하심을 절감한다
마태복음 28:18-20절의 지상명령
감당하게 되기를 원하여
기도하고 또 기도했고 또 할 것인데...
눈 앞에 펼쳐지는 섭리가 때론 고통 그 자체이지만
더 영육적 건강과 가능성을 높여 주시려는 주님의 수술하심이 느껴지고
그러시면서 만들어가시는 상황전개...
내 믿음 없음까지도 아시고
치유...회복...더 건강케 하심을 감지(感知)한다
