“Wise Men Rejoice.” (동방박사들이 기뻐한다)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 마태복음 2장 9절~11절 (Matthew 2:9~11, NKJV)

“9 박사들이 왕의 말을 듣고 갈새 동방에서 보던 그 별이 문득 앞서 인도하여 가다가 아기 있는 곳
위에 머물러 서 있는지라
10 그들이 별을 보고 매우 크게 기뻐하고 기뻐하더라
11 집에 들어가 아기와 그의 어머니 마리아가 함께 있는 것을 보고 엎드려 아기께 경배하고 보배합을
열어 황금과 유향과 몰약을 예물로 드리니라”

“9 [When they heard the king], / they departed ; and behold, / the star / [which they had seen
/ in the East] / went / before them, / [till it came / and stood / over [where the young Child was]]]. //

10 [When they saw the star], / they rejoiced / with exceedingly great joy.

11 And [when they had come / into the house], / they saw the young Child / [with Mary His
mother], / and fell down / and worshiped Him. // And [when they had opened their treasures],
/ they presented gifts / to Him : gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

 

2. 제목 : “Wise Men Rejoice.” (동방박사들이 기뻐한다)

The wise men traveled a considerable distance to see the great King whose arrival the Bible foretold. They followed the bright star, and when they found Him, it says they rejoiced exceedingly. Those men were so happy that they couldn’t hide it. Notice what they did next ; they fell down and worshiped Him.

동방박사들은 성경에 예언된 위대한 왕을 보기 위해 상당한 거리를 여행했습니다. 그들은 밝은 별을 따라갔고, 그를 발견했을 때, 그들은 매우 기뻐했다고 말합니다. 그 사람들은 너무 기뻐서 숨길 수 없었습니다. 그들이 다음에 무엇을 했는지 주목하세요. 그들은 엎드려 그를 경배했습니다.

When a wise person seeks Jesus, they are filled with indescribable joy. They are compelled to worship Him! Let that be you and me today. Let’s let the joy of the Lord fill our hearts and be reflected on our faces during the holiday season and every day of the year. Don’t allow the pressures and busyness of life steal your joy. Let those around you see that you’ve been with Jesus. Rejoice in Him, worship Him, and walk with Him in victory all the days of your life!

지혜로운 사람이 예수님을 찾을 때, 그들은 형언할 수 없는 기쁨으로 가득 차게 됩니다. 그들은 그를 경배하지 않을 수 없습니다! 오늘 당신과 제가 그렇게 되기를 바랍니다. 주님의 기쁨이 우리의 마음을 채우고 휴일 시즌과 일년 내내 우리의 얼굴에 반영되도록 합시다. 삶의 압박과 바쁜 일정이 당신의 기쁨을 훔치지 않도록 하십시오. 주변 사람들에게 당신이 예수님과 함께 했다는 것을 보여주십시오. 그분 안에서 기뻐하고, 그분을 경배하고, 당신의 삶의 모든 날 동안 그분과 함께 승리 안에서 걸으십시오!

3. '오늘'을 위한 '기도' (Prayer for Today)

“Father in heaven, I choose to be wise and seek You first. Fill me with Your joy which is strength. I set my heart and mind on You and worship You. You are the King of kings and Lord of lords in Jesus’ name! Amen. God Bless You!”
“하늘에 계신 아버지, 저는 지혜롭게 되고 먼저 당신을 찾기로 선택합니다. 당신의 힘인 기쁨으로 저를 채워주십시오. 저는 제 마음과 생각을 당신께 두고 당신을 경배합니다. 당신은 만왕의 왕이시며 만주의 주이십니다, 예수의 이름으로! 아멘. 하나님께서 당신을 축복하시길!”
