성경읽기 : 느헤미야 10-11; 사도행전 4:1-22
오늘의 성경말씀 : 디도서 3:1-11
내가 이용하는 은행의 벽에 붙은 글을 보니 그 은행의 기업 신조는 ‘예의’라는 이 한 마디로 요약될 수 있다고 말하고 있었습니다. 그리고 거기서 내 거래를 도와준 창구 직원의 예의바른 태도에 나는 참으로 기분이 좋았습니다!
예의가 부족할 때 사람들과의 관계가 어떻게 될까요? 어떻게 하면 사람들과의 관계에 마음을 써서 더 예의를 갖출 수 있을까요?
사랑하는 하나님, 저는 사람들에게 쉽게 짜증을 냅니다. 모든 사람을 품위와 예의를 가지고 대할 수 있도록 인내심과 친절한 심성을 갖게 하소서.

Remind them . . . to show perfect courtesy toward all people. [ TITUS 3:1-2 esv ]
The statement on the wall of my bank declares that its corporate principles could be summed up in a single word: courtesy. And how refreshing it was to find courtesy in the teller who helped me with my transaction there!
In a harsh and unkind world, to be driven by courtesy is a big idea. We find this concept in the apostle Paul’s letter to his friend Titus. He instructed Titus to remind his congregation “to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people” (TITUS 3:2 esv). This idea of courtesy is also rendered as “peaceable and considerate” (niv) or “showing every consideration” (nasb).
How we treat others reveals whether we see them as image bearers of God or not. C. S. Lewis wrote of this in The Weight of Glory: “There are no ordinary people,” he said. “You have never talked to a mere mortal.” Lewis anticipated eternity, where we’ll either enjoy God’s presence or be banished from Him forever. So he reminds us, “It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit-immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
May we allow the Spirit to enable us to treat those around as what they truly are-image bearers of God. BILL CROWDER
What effect does the absence of courtesy have on your interactions? How might you intentionally bring more courtesy into those interactions?
Dear God, it’s easy to get frustrated with people. Please give me a patient spirit and a heart of kindness that I might treat everyone with dignity and courtesy.
