예수님을 가장 사랑하기
성경읽기 : 시편 18-19; 사도행전 20:17-38
오늘의 성경말씀 : 신명기 15:1-11
교인들은 왜 교회가 첨탑을 사는지 목사님께 따져 물었습니다. 그것이 하나님의 재원을 가장 잘 사용하는 일이었을까요? 그 돈으로 가난한 사람들을 도와주는 것은 어떠했을까요? 목사님은 그 돈이 기부 받은 것이고, 기부한 사람들의 뜻에 따라 사용돼야 했다고 대답하셨습니다. 목사님은 덧붙여 “가난한 자들은 항상 너희와 함께 있거니와”(요한복음 12:8)라고 하신 예수님의 말씀을 인용하셨습니다.
당신은 어떻게 형편이 어려운 사람들을 돕습니까? 예수님의 생애와 그의 가르침이 당신이 도움이 필요한 사람들과 나누도록 어떻게 영감을 주었습니까?
사랑하는 예수님, 주님은 아름다우시고 찬송 받기에 합당하신 분이십니다.

There need be no poor people among you. [ DEUTERONOMY 15:4 ]
The members asked why their church was buying a steeple. Was this the best use of God’s resources? What about feeding the poor? The pastor replied that the funds came from donors and needed to be spent as they wished. “Besides,” he quoted Jesus, “you will always have the poor among you” (JOHN 12:8).
The pastor quickly apologized for his flippant, out-of-context remark, which led me to wonder, What was Jesus’ context? Six days before His death, a woman anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. The disciples were disgusted. Why wasn’t this perfume sold to help the poor? Jesus replied by quoting Deuteronomy 15:11, “You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me” (JOHN 12:8).
Jesus often cited Deuteronomy, so He knew what was written a few sentences earlier: “There need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you . . . , he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the Lord your God” (DEUTERONOMY 15:4-5). Perhaps this was another reason for Jesus’ rebuke. Poor people existed only because Israel hadn’t obeyed God’s instructions. Now the poor were being used to distract from Jesus-the true Israelite who would fully obey to the end.
We need not choose between Jesus and the poor. We love people best by loving Him most, and loving Him most inspires us to love others best. MIKE WITTMER
How do you help those less fortunate? How does the life of Jesus and the things He taught inspire you to share with those in need?
Dear Jesus, You’re beautiful and worthy of all my praise.
