기독교 급진주의(急進主義) 경향애석(傾向哀惜)
2024.7.15
(행24:1-27)
1 Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. 2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: "We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. 3 Everywhere and in every way, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude. 4 But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly. 5 "We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect 6 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 7 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him." 9 The Jews joined in the accusation, asserting that these things were true. 10 When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: "I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. 11 You can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12 My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. 13 And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me. 14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. 17 "After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings. 18 I was ceremonially clean when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance. 19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia, who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they have anything against me. 20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin-- 21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: 'It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.'" 22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way, adjourned the proceedings. "When Lysias the commander comes," he said, "I will decide your case." 23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard but to give him some freedom and permit his friends to take care of his needs. 24 Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. 25 As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, "That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you." 26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him. 27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
바울이 예루살렘을 떠나 가이사랴로 이송 된 지 5일 후
당시 대제사장 아나니아는
장로를 비롯 율법전문가를 동반하여
바울을 죽이지 못해 안달하는 사람들을 데리고
총독 벨릭스에게 나타나
바울을 고발
자신들의 손에 내어 줄 것을 요구한다
당시 바울의 항변을 보면
그들은 아무 근거도 없이
아무것도 증명하지 못하면서
성전을 더럽혔느니
군중들을 선동했느니... 하는
누명(陋名) 모함(謀陷) 하는 것이라 벨릭스 앞에서 말한다
오늘의 말씀을 대하면서
대제사장과 그와 함께한 무리들이
대부분 사두개적인 사상을 지닌자들이 아닐까... 하는 생각이 문득 든다
모든 일들을
종교적으로 안되면 사회법을 동원해서라도
하나님의 뜻이 아니더라도 수단과 방법을 가리지 않는 모습을 하고 있으니...
오늘날에도 급진주의기독교인(急進主義基督敎人)들이 있다
예수님의 무저항주의(無抵抗主義)를 뒤로 하고
정당(政黨)을 만들고 ...시위를 하며 ...
그런데 그러한 움직임에
보수주의기독도(保守主義基督徒)라 자칭하는 사람들도...
심지어 목사들도 대거 입장을 같이하는 모습을 보느니...
교회사(敎會史)를 통해서 보면
초대교회시대(初代敎會時代)가 교회와 교인의 본(本)이라 여김을 감안한다면
로마의 10대 박해(AD64~311)까지 약250년간에 걸친 그 기간에
당시 로마를 향한 적극적저항(積極的抵抗)의 족적(足跡)은 발견되지 않건만
마26:52 예수께서 베드로에게 하신 말씀을 기억하고 있을 터이건만...
도리어 역풍(逆風)을 맞게 만들고... 종말을 앞당기고 있는 화근(禍根)이 되고 있으니...
원수가 집안 식구리라 고 한 마10:36
서로 잡아주고 서로 미워하겠다는 마24:10
당시 영맹(靈盲)이 되어 메시야를 알아보지 못하고
추앙숭배(推仰崇拜)해야 할 분을 필살(必殺)해야 하는 존재로 오인
바리새인 사두개인 장로들...
그러니까 산헤드린공의회원들 거의가 동참했음과 다를게 없음을 본다
정치인은
문화인은
산업인은
경제인은
종교인은
특별히 기독교인과 목사들은 본연의 일에 집중 말씀과 성령의 역사에 의한 주님의 도통매 역할만 이행하며 하나님을 100% 신뢰하고 의뢰(依賴) 하나님의 섭리(攝理)에 맡겼으면 ...하는 생각이 오늘아침 충만히 내 마음속에 밀려온다
