주의 일을 하다보면
2026.3.2.
(렘37:11-21)
11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army, 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property among the people there. 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, "You are deserting to the Babylonians!" 14 "That's not true!" Jeremiah said. "I am not deserting to the Babylonians." But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison. 16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. 17 Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the LORD?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon." 18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'? 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there." 21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
주의 일을 하다보면 예레미야처럼
구타(毆打) 회유(懷柔) 고문(拷問)
심지어 억울(抑鬱)하게 투옥(投獄)되기도 한다
그 이유를 생각해 보면
인간들은 두 종류로 나뉘는데...
성령(聖靈)의 통치를 받는 사람과 사단의 통치를 받는 부류(部類)를 들 수 있겠다
예레미야는 성령의 통치를 받는 사람
하여 세상에 속한 엡2:2 공중권세를 잡은 사단의 조정을 받는 존재들에게
예레미야는 눈에 가시같은 존재였기에...
참으로 이상한 것은
세상의 금명권(金名權)은
하나님의 사람들 보다는 사단에게 속한 사람들과 더욱 관련이 깊다는 점이다
아마도 사단은 수단과 방법을 가리지 않고
잔인무도(殘忍無道)
공포(恐怖) 협박(脅迫)까지 사용하기 까닭이라는 생각
특별히 기독인(基督人)이란
신앙을 지키려다 보면
하나님의 말씀을 통해 사용할 수 있는 카드가 별로 없다는 점...
하여 가(加)하는 쪽 보다는
당(當)하는 쪽
그런 점은. 씁쓸...
그러나...
그럼에도 불구하고...
마7:133-14;눅13:24 주님 말씀하신 대로의 삶을 살아야 할 터이지...
오늘을 주신 주님
오늘도 임마누엘(以馬內利) 여주동행(旅主同行)
이 길이야 말로 행복(幸福)의 길 비전(vision)의 길이라 믿고...간다
