‘심판은 죄에서 돌이키게 하려는 것’
본문관찰과 묵상
예루살렘은 소돔, 사마리아, 블레셋을 조롱했으나 자신들의 죄가 드러나 심판 받자 그들에게 조롱을 받게 될 것이다. 언약을 배반한 유다는 행한대로 심판을 받는다.
QT를 통해 듣는 주님의 음성
그러나 하나님은 유다가 심판 받아 뭇 나라들에 조롱을 받고 멸망하나 다시 그들과 새 언약을 세워 ‘테텔레스타이,’ 즉, 십자가 에서 저들의 모든 죄값을 치러주고 구원할 것이다. 그후에 자신들이 지은죄를 부끄러워해 다시는 영적음란, 우상을 섬기지 않을 것이다.
결단과 적용
예수가 새 언약으로 와서 ‘다 이루었다-테텔레스타이’ (요 19:30) 라고 외치며 운명하심으로 나의 모든 죄값을 다 치러 주셨다. 그 은혜로 인하여 주를 믿음으로 나는 구원받았다. 주님을 몰랐을때 지었던 죄를 부끄러워하며 입을 닫는다. 불평 없이 주님을 따른다.
‘Judgment inspires me to turn away from sins’
Eze 16:53-63
Observation and meditation on the text
Jerusalem ridiculed such surrounding idolaters as Sodom, Samaria, and Philistines. However, when their lewdness was revealed, they would be punished by God and would be ridiculed by their enemies. Judah would be judged as much as they despised God.
I hear the voice of the Lord through QT
However, after the destruction of Judah by God’s judgment and mockeries by the surrounding idolaters, God would establish a new covenant, who is Jesus so that they would be saved by the defray of the wages of sins by his crucifixion as he shouted out ‘it is finished’ (Greek: tetelesti). Then, they will never worship idols again as they remember their shame in the past by their spiritual lewdness.
Decisions and applications
Jesus has come as a new covenant and he accomplished my salvation by declaring, ‘it is finished’ (Gr: tetelesti) (Jon 19:30) when he was crucified. Jesus has defrayed the wages of my sins. By his grace I believe in Jesus, and I am saved. Whenever I
remember all my sins before I knew Jesus, out of shame I shut my mouth. And I take up my cross and follow Jesus without any complaints today.
