억울함의 끝 사도행전 16:6-26 노요한 목사님의 설교

노요한 목사님의 설교 말씀 '억울함의 끝'

말씀은 사도행전 16:6-26

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

우리는 살면서 억울함을 당할 때가 많다. 

그 때마다 왜 억울하냐고 따지고 살면 참 힘들 것이다. 그럴 때 내 억울함을 아시는 주님이 계시다는 사실을 생각하면 그 억울함이 조금은 누그러 진다. 그리고 그 억울함을 그대로 두시지 않을 주님을 알면 더 힘차게 털고 일어날 수 있다. 

억울함...문제가 생겼을 때 내가 그러지 않았는데, 내가 그런 걸로 치부되는 순간은 어느 누구도 참을 수 없을 수 있다. 그러나 그 억울함을 알고 풀어줄 누군가가 있다면 그 억울함은 더이상 억울함이 아니다. 지금 우리의 억울함은 그래서 억울함이 아니다. 주님이 아시고 해결해주실 테니까. 

오늘도 말씀에 희망을 얻고 살아간다...
