오늘의 묵상
스스로 도울 수 없는 사람들--큰 문제가 닥쳤거나, 억울하게 누명을 뒤집어썼거나, 죽음을 눈앞에 둔 사람들--을 돕는다면, 우리는 예수님을 돕고 있는 것입니다. 예수님이라면 어떻게 하실까요? 그들의 희망 없음과 절망 가운데에서 하나님을 찾도록 도와주실 것입니다.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus' parable challenges our frequent preconceptions about those we should help. Building on the teaching of the Lord in the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Jeremiah 7:5-7; Malachi 3:5), Jesus emphasizes the essentiality of each of us helping those truly in need. When we help those who can't help themselves — those who have gotten themselves in trouble, those who have been falsely accused, those who are facing death, widows, the fatherless — we are helping Jesus himself. We see Jesus' face in the faces of those we bless. Why? Because compassion and grace come from Jesus. He would be among us, helping others experience grace out of their hopelessness and despair.
내 기도
아버지의 백성들을 도와서, 아버지의 놀라운 은혜를 이해하게 도와줄 수 있는 기회를 보도록 제게 지혜를 주시옵소서. 제 구속자, 구원자, 친구이신 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Father, please give me wisdom to see my opportunities to serve others as I try to help them understand your incredible grace. O Holy Spirit, please stir my heart with the Father's mercy, grace, and compassion. I pray this in the name of my Redeemer, Savior, and Friend, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, who demonstrated the principles I want to live. Amen.
