참 좋은 친구
아주 오래 된 친구가
나에겐 둘 도 없는 친구가
나를 너무나 잘 아는 친구가
꼭꼭 숨겨놓은 친구가 있습니다.
울고 싶을 때 찾아가고
고독할 때면 더 자주 찾아가고
힘들 때 마다 찾아가도
언제나 맘 문을 활짝 열어줍니다.
어떤 날은
친구 앞에서 통곡을 했고
또 다른 날은 힘들어 큰 소리를 질렀고
하루는 몇 시간을 넋두리 했는데
내 등을 쓰다듬었습니다.
말을 안 해도
내 마음을 알고
잘못을 해도 용서하고
때로는 투정을 부려도 미소만 지으며
그냥 너그럽게 받아줍니다.
나에겐 참 좋은 친구가
내를 건져준 친구가 있습니다.
내 영혼이 병들어 희망이 없을 때
살려준 그 친구는 나사렛 사람입니다.

Knowing Jesus vs. knowing about Jesus—what is the difference?
ANSWER
Fan sites and magazines help us answer this question. Adoring fans of movie, TV, music, or sports stars spend money and time obtaining information, photos, and tidbits about their favorite stars. After poring over such material, the fans feel as if they really know their heroes. But do they? They may know certain facts about their chosen hero.
They may be able to cite birth date, favorite color, and childhood pets, but, if they were to meet that person face to face, what would the hero say? Does the fan really know the hero?
Jesus responded to this question in Matthew 7:21–23: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
There were people in Jesus’ day who thought they were friends of His because they knew the Law, made strict rules for themselves (and for others), and listened to His teaching. They followed Him, applauded the miracles, and liked some of what He said.
But Jesus calls them “evildoers” and states, “I never knew you.”
Today there are thousands who know about Jesus—that is, they know some facts about Him,
they might commit some Bible verses to memory,
and perhaps they even attend church.
But they have never allowed the facts to become their personal reality.
They hold knowledge in their heads without allowing the truth to penetrate their hearts.
Jesus explained the problem: “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules” (Matthew 15:8–9; Mark 7:6).
It can be easy to substitute religion for a real relationship with Jesus.
We often think that, if we are doing “Christian things,” that’s all that counts.
We can appreciate the facts of Jesus’ death and resurrection, but until we have made Him our Lord,
the facts do us no good (John 3:16–18; Acts 10:43; Romans 10:9). There is a difference between intellectual assent and saving faith.
Knowing Jesus means we have accepted His sacrifice on our behalf (2 Corinthians 5:21).
We ask Him to be the Lord of our lives (John 1:12; Acts 2:21).
We identify with Him in His death and consider our old selves to have died with Him (Colossians 3:3; Romans 6:2, 5; Galatians 6:14; 2:20).
We accept His forgiveness and cleansing from sin and seek to know Him in intimate fellowship through His Holy Spirit (John 17:3; Philippians 3:10; 1 John 2:27).
When we repent of our sin and surrender our lives to Him, Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; John 14:26; 16:13). The Holy Spirit comes to live inside us, changing us forever (1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 John 3:9).
The facts we know about Jesus come alive as we get to know Him personally. Let’s say you’ve read that your favorite movie star has green eyes and a dimple in her chin. Those traits are merely facts on paper until you meet her face to face.
Then, suddenly, those green eyes are looking at you, and the dimple springs to her chin when she smiles.
She tells you about her day, her fears, and her inner thoughts.
You may recall that you had heard those facts before, but now you are experiencing them.
You knew about her before, but now you know her.
The abstract has become concrete.
Things you thought you knew start to make sense as you enter into a relationship.
Jesus is a Person.
To know Him is to enter into a relationship.
The greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength” (Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27).
It’s hard to love someone you don’t know.
Loving Him starts with surrendering to His plan for your life.
That’s what it means to make Him Lord (Matthew 6:33; Romans 10:9–10; Psalm 16:8).
The nature of God is so vast and complex that no human being can fully know everything there is to know about Him.
But life is about continually seeking Him, learning more about Him, and enjoying His fellowship (Jeremiah 29:13; Philippians 3:8).

God Will Keep His Covenant of Love With You
Therefore,
take care
to follow
the
commands,
decrees
and laws
I give you today.
If you
pay attention to
these laws
and
are careful
to follow them,
then
the Lord
your Godwill keep
his covenant of love
with you,
as he
swore to your
ancestors.
He will love you
and bless you
and
increase your
numbers.
He will
bless the fruit of
your womb,
the
crops of
your land—
your grain,
new wine and
olive oil —
the calves of
your herds
and
the lambs of
your flocks
in the land
he swore to
your ancestors
to give you.
You will be blessed
more than any other
people;
none of
your men
or women will be
childless,
nor
will any of
your livestock be
without young.
The Lord will
keep you free from
every disease.
He will not inflict
on you the horrible diseases
you knew in Egypt,
but he will inflict them
on all who hate you.
You must destroy
all the peoples the Lord
your God gives over to you.
Do not look on them
with pity and do not serve
their gods,
for
that will be
a snare to you.
Deuteronomy 7:11-16
그런즉
너는 오늘
내가 네게 명하는
명령과
규례와
법도를
지켜 행할지니라
너희가
이 모든 법도를
듣고 지켜 행하면
네 하나님
여호와께서
네 조상들에게
맹세하신 언약을 지켜
네게 인애를 베푸실
것이라
곧 너를
사랑하시고
복을 주사 너를
번성하게
하시되
네게 주리라고
네 조상들에게
맹세하신
땅에서
네 소생에게
은혜를 베푸시며
네 토지
소산과 곡식과
포도주와 기름을
풍성하게
하시고
네 소와 양을
번식하게 하시리니
네가 복을 받음이
만민보다 훨씬
더하여
너희 중의 남녀와
너희의 짐승의 암수에
생육하지 못함이
없을 것이며
여호와께서
또 모든 질병을
네게서 멀리 하사
너희가 아는
애굽의 악질에
걸리지 않게 하시고
너를 미워하는
모든 자에게 걸리게
하실 것이라
네 하나님 여호와께서
네게 넘겨주신 모든 민족을
네 눈이 긍휼히 여기지 말고 진멸하며
그들의 신을 섬기지 말라
그것이 네게 올무가
되리라

단풍의 고해
죄를 사하여
주소서
이 한 몸
불살라 상제
하겠나이다
감히
은총을 거슬러
만고청춘을
구가하려
하였으니
천벌을 받아
마땅하리니
기꺼이
활활 타올라
경건한 제물이
되겠나이다

마음이 편해야 만사가 편합니다
마음이
편하려면
마음 안에 있는
내 속사람이
기뻐해야 합니다.
내 속사람이
기쁘려면
하나님과
연결되어야
합니다.
하나님과
연결되었다는
것은
인류와 자연만물
모두와
연결되었다는
뜻입니다.
연결은
사랑의 연결로
주고 받고 나누고
함께하는
과정에서
이루어집니다.
사랑의 주인인
하나님과
연결되면
시공을
초월하여
모두와
사랑의 관계를
맺으며
기쁘고 행복해집니다.
자유와
해방과
기쁨의 사랑을
나누며
내 속사람이

고독
하나의 인간임을
알게 하는
것,
타인과 내가
다름을
인정하고
나 자신을
더욱 자신답게
하는
것,
캄캄한
어둠 속에서
더욱 빛을
발하는….
그 빛으로 인해
또
다른 빛을
찾아 헤매는….
무엇이든
닿고 싶고
닿으면,
빛으로
변화시키고
싶은
하나의 불꽃

참깨를 털며
텃밭에서 거둔
참깨를
어머니와 함께
털면서
한해 내내
식탁에
오를
참기름의
고소한 맛을
생각하니
행복해진다.
이처럼
훗날
하나님이
나의
열매를
요구하실 때
나는 얼마나
향기 나는
진실을
털어 드릴 수
있을까?
