바울을 앞세우는 바나바를 보다
2024.6.16
(행13:13-51)
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak." 16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led them out of that country, 18 he endured their conduct for about forty years in the desert, 19 he overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to his people as their inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years. "After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. 21 Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years. 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.' 23 "From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was completing his work, he said: 'Who do you think I am? I am not that one. No, but he is coming after me, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.' 26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people. 32 "We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: "'You are my Son; today I have become your Father.' 34 The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: "'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.' 35 So it is stated elsewhere: "'You will not let your Holy One see decay.' 36 "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. 38 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: 41 "'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.'" 42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. 44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: "'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'" 48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
일반적으로 선교(宣敎)의 고충(苦衷)이 어떠함은
오늘의 본문 13절
버가(Perga)에서 마가요한이
예루살렘으로 돌아가는
중도하차(中途下車)함을 보면 약간을 알 수 있게 한다
하지만 오늘의 본문에서 처음으로 사용되는 ‘바울’이라는 이름의 소유자
비시디아 안디옥 회당헤서 하나님의 진정한 말씀을 전함 후에
바나바를 뒤로 한 ‘바울 과 바나바’라는 호명순위변경기록(呼名順位變更記錄)을 본다
이는 바나바가 자신보다 더욱 활동적(活動的) 공격적(攻擊的) 그러나 바른 성경해석적용선포(聖經解釋適用宣布)에 능(能)한 바울에게 그 역할을 양보(讓步) 밀어주는 처사(處事)를 했음을 짐작(斟酌)하기에 충분(充分)하다는 생각을 갖게 한다
어찌보면 사울을 바울되게 하기 위하여
바울을 바울 되게 하기 위하여
하나님은 그 일에 적재적소인물(適材適所人物) 바나바를 붙여주셨음을 깨닫게 하는데...
아마도 바울의 본능(本能) 나서기를 좋아하는 바울의 후속조치(後續措置)를 바나바가 한 것으로 추측(推測)된다
오늘날 누군가가 언급하기 시작한 ‘협업(協業)’이라는 단어
바울에게 대한 바나바
후배를 섬기는 선배의 태도
요3:30 바나바는 세례요한의 심장심정(心臟心情)을 갖는데 이른 인물이 아닌가를 생각하게 한다
사람들은 누구나 스타(star)가 되기를 바란다
늘 앞서기를 바라고
늘 이기기를 바란다
그래서 상대의 기를 꺽어버리는 데서 쾌감을 느끼기를 본능적으로 좋아한다는 점을 살면서 더욱 뼈저리게 느끼고 확인하게 된다
스스로 2선에 물러나
조금 부족하더라도 앞세워주려는 배려심
그렇게 함이 기독정신(基督精神)이요 라이프스타일(life style)이어야 한다 생각하는데...
빌2:6 예수님의 겸손(謙遜)을 닮아기가 얼마나 도달(到達)하기 어려운 고지(高地)인가를 더욱 더 느끼고 느낌을 금할 길이 없다
나도 목회의 차원에서
두곽을 나타내고 싶다
하지만 나의 주 하나님은 그걸 원하시지 않는 것 같다
그것 보다는 조용히 작은 교회를 섬기면서 불신자 많은 곳에서 하나님 원하시는 이름없고 빛도 없을지라도 ... 감당하시기를 원하시는 것 같다
가끔씩 내 속에서 야망이 튀어 올라올 때마다
죽음을 생각하게 하신다
세상의 모든 것 생로병사흥망성쇠(生老病死興亡盛衰)
눅12:20 사후(死後)를 생각한다면 땅에서의 일의 결과가 어떻게 되겠느냐는 물음으로 나를 진정시키고 고후12:9 바울에게 하신 말씀에 아멘! 하게 만든다
마25:14-30 눅19:11-27
달란트와 므나의 비유를 생각나게 하시는 하나님
중요한 것은 주님 주신 사명이 크든 작든 영화롭든 그렇지 않든
충성(忠誠) 그리고 최선(最善)이라는 막12 눅21:2 예수님의 산정방식(算定方式) 계2:10의 언약(言約)을 떠올리시며 내 마음을 이내 안정평안(安定平安)하게 하신다
주어진 하루 하루도 아닌
순간순간(瞬間瞬間) 주님 깨닫게 하시며 주시는 사명(使命)
오직 그 일만의 최선을 다 하다보면
주님의 기쁨이 되도록 성령께서 그리하게 해 주실 것이라는 마음의 의탁(依託)으로 오늘 주일의 하루를 시작한다

♬(찬384) 나의 갈 길 다가도록

영영 부를 나의 찬송예수 인도 하셨네 아멘
