오늘의 묵상
예수님께서 아버지께 하신 놀라운 말씀 중 하나입니다: "나는 아버지께서 내게 하라고 맡기신 일을 완성하여..." 사실, 예수님께서 마지막 숨을 거두실때 이렇게 말씀하셨지요: "다 이루었다" 우리도 하나님의 영광을 최우선시하며 살아갑시다! 이것이 하나님의 자녀로서 우리 삶의 목적입니다. (엡 1:6, 12, 14, 벧전 2:9-10 참조) 하나님 나라를 먼저 우선순위에 놓으면 놓을 수록(마 6:33), 예수님처럼 삶을 마칠 수 있을 것을 더욱 확신할 수 있을 것입니다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One of the most amazing things that Jesus ever said, he said to his Father in heaven: "I have completed the work you gave me to do..." In fact, when Jesus breathed his last, he said; "It is finished." (Or, it is completed, or it is paid. John 19:30). Jesus finished the work God had sent the Son to accomplish in his life and on the cross by obeying the Father, glorifying the Father, and paying the debt of sin for all humankind. John quotes Jesus as using a form of the same word in John 17:4 and John 4:34. Even though Jesus' time on earth was relatively short, he lived with the glory of God as his highest priority and lived to complete the work the Father had given him to accomplish. We can also live with the glory of God as our highest priority and live to complete the work the Father has given us to do! This is our purpose as God's children (Ephesians 1:6, 12, 14; 1 Peter 2:9-10). The more we live by Kingdom priorities (Matthews 6:33), the more we can rest assured that we can finish our work and know we have honored the Father with our lives! Let's be like our Savior and complete the work the Father has given us to do.
내 기도
사랑하는 주님, 제게서 영광을 받으시옵소서! 다른 이들에게 주님을 알게 하고, 주님의 은혜를 알게 하는데 저를 사용하시옵소서. 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Please be glorified in me, dear Lord, as I seek to glorify you! Use me to bring others to know you and your grace. And please, dear Lord, empower me to complete the work you sent me to do in this world. In Jesus' name and to live for your glory, I pray. Amen.
