오늘은 고정관념(固定觀念)이라는 개념이 생각난다

(렘43:1-13)
1 When Jeremiah finished telling the people all the words of the LORD their God--everything the LORD had sent him to tell them-- 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You must not go to Egypt to settle there.' 3 But Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians, so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon." 4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people disobeyed the LORD'S command to stay in the land of Judah. 5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered. 6 They also led away all the men, women and children and the king's daughters whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah. 7 So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the LORD and went as far as Tahpanhes. 8 In Tahpanhes the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 9 "While the Jews are watching, take some large stones with you and bury them in clay in the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword. 12 He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive. As a shepherd wraps his garment around him, so will he wrap Egypt around himself and depart from there unscathed. 13 There in the temple of the sun in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.'"
오늘은 고정관념(固定觀念)이라는 개념이 생각난다
한 번 굳어진 생각에 이른 사람은
다른 사람의 다른 의견이
절대로 귀에 들어오지 않는다는 그것
어쩌면 그것은 신념(信念)이 될 수도 있고
포장(包藏)되어 스스로를 속이고
도탄(塗炭)에 빠지게 할 수도 있는
양면성(兩面性)을 지니고 있다
만일 내가 예레미야의 시대에 살고
오늘의 본문과 같은 상황에 처해 있었다면
나 역시
예레미야를 통한 하나님의 지도(指導)를 거절(拒絶)했을 것이라 판단(判斷)된다
현재 성경을 독청묵기적(讀聽黙祈適)하는 입장에서
이미 결말을 알고
예레미야의 예언이 하나님으로부터 임을 알고 있기에
오판(誤判)하는 바벨론의 느브갓네살의 손아귀에서 가까스로 벗어난 그들을 어리석다고 비난하게 되겠지만...
하여 매사에 신중(愼重)해야 함을...
그런데 그러다보면 우유부단(優柔不斷)의 늪에 빠질 수도 있게 되고...
그렇게 되지 않으려면
예레미야와 같이 되어야 하는데...
나는 예레미야가 아니니...
그와 비슷하게라도 하나님의 계시(啓示)가 주어지지 않으니...
삼위일체신(三位一體神)이신 보혜사성령(保惠師聖靈)의
비록 나의 유무지식지혜(有無知識智慧)에도 불구(不具)하고 역사(役事)해 주심이라는 해바라기가 되는 수 밖에...
