버가의 아픔 그 아픔 뒤의 비시디아 안디옥에서의 역사
2020.1.12
(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.
안디옥→실루기아→살라미→바보→버가
거기에 도착했을 때
마가 요한이 예루살렘으로 돌아가는 일이 벌어진다
그것은 바울에게 커다란 상처가 되었다는 점을 사도행전 15장에 보고하고 있다
만 28년의 목회...
꿈 많던 젊은 목회를 하면서
‘전 교우 지도자화’라는 캐치프레이즈(catchphrase)를 내 걸고 열심히 제자교육-셀교육-셀목회를 해 왔는데...
결국은 그 과정에서 여러 아픔을 겪어야만 했다
사실 생각해 보면
그런 목회를 하지 않았다 해서 피해갈 수 있는 아픔은 아니었다는 생각에는 변함이 없다
오히려 지금까지의 목회방침 이었기에
더 큰 화근을 도려내고 더 우려되는 위기를 극복하게 되었다는 확신이 든다
셀목회는 참으로
교인들의 현주소를 확실하게 드러나게 한다
진정한 지도자인지
재목(材木)인지...의 여부...
그래서 잃은자들이 발생했다
어찌보면
그래야 세계비전을 성취하게 되는 일에 있어서
그 가능성을 높여 주는 것이기에 하신 하나님의 교통정리라는 믿음이 간다
하지만 그럼에도 불구하고
아픈 마음은...
괴로운 심정은...
문득 문득 기억의 수면에 떠올라질때마다 내게...늘...고통이 되고 있다
목회는 계속되어야 하기에
목사로서 표현은 겉으로 하지 않지만...
의연하게...태연자약(泰然自若)하게 하지만...
내 마음은 ...아무도 모르는 내 마음은... 아파하고... 울고... 또 울었고...운다
아마도 버가에서 사울이 겪었던 그 고통
그것은 마가 요한의 삼촌이었던 바나바의 마음 그 이상이었을 것이다
그러나 절도(節度)있는 ...용단(勇斷)있는...사울
의연하게 ...태연자약(泰然自若)하게... 비시디아 안디옥으로 향한다
안식일... 그리고 회당
거기서 바울은 성령의 말하게 하심 따라 예수님에 이르기까지의 역사를 열거한다
말씀인즉
모든 성경은 예수님을 가리키고 있는 것이라는 설명
바로 유태인들이 십자가에 매달았으나
죽은지 사흘만에 부활하신 그분
결코 죽음이 붙잡아 둘 수 없는 그분
그분을 영접하여 믿는 사람들은 영생을 얻게 된다고 하는... 메시지
그때로부터 바나바-사울의 이름 순서가 바뀌어 성경은 기록된다
‘42 As Paul and Barnabas’
행13:9 바보에서 ‘바울이라고 하는 사울’이라는 표현이 나오더니
버가의 아픔 뒤에 비시디아 안디옥에서는 급기야 사울이라는 이름도 사라지고 ‘바울’이라는 이름과 함께 그 이름의 순서가 바뀌었다는 것을 확인하게 되는 것이다
[딤후3:16]
모든 성경은 하나님의 감동으로 된 것...
[벧후1:20-21]
...성경의 모든 예언은 사사로이 풀 것이 아니니 예언은 언제든지 사람의 뜻으로 낸 것이 아니요 오직 성령의 감동하심을 받은 사람들이 하나님께 받아 말한 것임이라
그러니까 사도행전이 바울로부터...가 아닌
하나님으로부터...라는 점을 신뢰확신(信賴確信)한다면
성령의 역사가 바나바에게 보다 더욱 더 사울인 바울에게 더 강하게 역사하기 시작했다는 의미...
사도행전 15장39절 이후로 바나바라는 이름은 발견되지 않는다는 사실이 확인된다
비시디아 안디옥의 복음전파 사역을 통해서
많은 기독인들이 발생함을 보고 받는다
그러나 유태인들의 만만치 않은 저항도 동시에 일어난 것으로 보고 받는다
좋은 일만 있으면 좋으련만...
호사다마(好事多魔)라는 말이 여기서도 통하는가보다
그럼 그렇지
하나님을 대적하는 사단이
어찌 이 경사(慶事)스러움을 관망(觀望)만 하고 있었겠는가...
그러나 개의치 않고
해야 할 말
전해야 할 복음
이미 목숨을 내 놓은 사람이었으니...누가 막으랴.. 막을 수 있었으랴...
또 오늘을 맞이한다
특별히 오늘은 주일
예배가 있는 날이다
부디 주님의 도통매(道通媒) 역할을 만족하게 해 드릴 수 있어야 하는데...하는 생각이 무게가 되어 내 어깨를 짖누름을 느낀다
하지만 걱정해서 무엇하리
내 자신을 주님께 맡기고
그러 주시는대로...흘러가는대로...준비시킨 대로...
오늘도 주님의 파도에 내 모든 것을 맡기고 시작해야 하겠다
