All Spruced Up
[ Jude 1:20 - 1:25 ] - hymn310
[Jesus] is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless. — Jude 1:24
Getting our children to look good for church was always a challenge. Ten minutes after arriving at church all spruced up, our little Matthew would look like he didn’t have parents. I’d see him running down the hall with his shirt half untucked, glasses cockeyed, shoes scuffed up, and cookie crumbs decorating his clothes. Left to himself, he was a mess.

I wonder if that is how we look sometimes. After Christ has clothed us in His righteousness, we tend to wander off and live in ways that make us look like we don’t belong to God. That’s why Jude’s promise that Jesus is “able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless” gives me hope (Jude 1:24).

How can we keep from looking like we don’t have a heavenly Father? As we become more yielded to His Spirit and His ways, He will keep us from stumbling. Think of how increasingly righteous our lives would become if we would take time in His Word to be cleansed with “the washing of water by the word”(Eph.5:26).

What a blessing that Jesus promises to take our stumbling, disheveled lives and present us faultless to the Father! May we increasingly look like children of the King as we reflect His loving care and attention.
   
Lord, thank You for the blessing of being clothed
in Your beautiful righteousness and the promise
that You will keep me from stumbling and present
me faultless before Your Father and my God!

To reflect the presence of the Father,

we must rely on the Son.

Jude 1:20-25

[20] But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
[21] keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
[22] And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
[23] but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
[25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

복장 단정
[ 유다서 1:20 - 1:25 ] - 찬송가 310장
[예수님은] 능히 너희를 보호하사 거침이 없게 하시고 너희로 그 영광 앞에 흠이 없이 기쁨으로 서게 하실 이 - 유다서 1:24
교회에 갈 때 우리 아이들이 단정하게 보이도록 애를 쓰지만 늘 쉽지않습니다. 잘 차려입고 교회에 도착해도 10분만 지나면 우리 아이 매튜는 부모가 없는 아이처럼 보이곤 했습니다. 셔츠의 반이 빠져나온 상태에서 복도를 뛰어다니고, 안경은 삐뚤어지고, 신발은 질질 끌고 다니며, 옷에는 쿠키 부스러기가 묻어 있곤 했습니다. 혼자 내버려두면 엉망진창이 되었습니다.

가끔 나는 우리 역시 하나님의 눈에 그렇게 보이지 않을까 생각합니다. 예수님이 우리를 그분의 의로 옷 입히신 후에도, 우리는 곧잘 방황하고 하나님께 속하지 않는 사람처럼 보이는 방식으로 살아갑니다. 그러기에 예수님을 “능히 너희를 보호하사 거침이 없게 하시고…흠이 없이 기쁨으로 서게 하실 이”라고 한 유다의 약속이 내게 희망을 줍니다(유 1:24).

어떻게 하면 우리가 하나님 아버지가 없는 사람처럼 보이지 않게 할 수 있을까요? 우리가 하나님의 영과 하나님의 길에 더 복종할수록 하나님은 우리를 죄에 빠지지 않게 하실 것입니다. 우리가 물로 씻어 말씀으로 깨끗하게 되기 위함같이(엡 5:26) 하나님의 말씀에 시간을 들인다면, 우리의 삶이 얼마나 더 의롭게 될 것인가를 생각해보십시오.

죄에 빠져 흐트러진 우리의 인생을 거두어주시고 하나님아버지 앞에 흠 없이 서게 하겠다는 예수님의 약속이 얼마나 큰 축복인지요! 우리가 하나님의 사랑스런 보살핌과 관심을 그대로 보여줄 때 우리들이 점점 더 왕의 자녀들처럼 보이게 되기를 바랍니다.
   
주님, 저를 축복하사 주님의 아름다운 의로
옷 입혀주시니 감사합니다. 또한 죄에 빠지지 않게 하고,
주님의 아버지 곧 나의 하나님 앞에 흠이 없는 모습으로
서게 하겠다고 약속해주시니 감사합니다.
하나님 아버지의 임재를 나타내기 위해
우리는 그 아들 예수님에게 의지해야 한다.
유다서 1:20-25

[20] 사랑하는 자들아 너희는 너희의 지극히 거룩한 믿음 위에 자신을 세우며 성령으로 기도하며
[21] 하나님의 사랑 안에서 자신을 지키며 영생에 이르도록 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 긍휼을 기다리라
[22] 어떤 의심하는 자들을 긍휼히 여기라
[23] 또 어떤 자를 불에서 끌어내어 구원하라 또 어떤 자를 그 육체로 더럽힌 옷까지도 미워하되 두려움으로 긍휼히 여기라
[24] 능히 너희를 보호하사 거침이 없게 하시고 너희로 그 영광 앞에 흠이 없이 기쁨으로 서게 하실 이
[25] 곧 우리 구주 홀로 하나이신 하나님께 우리 주 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 영광과 위엄과 권력과 권세가 영원 전부터 이제와 영원토록 있을지어다 아멘
 

 

Jude 1

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James,

To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for[a] Jesus Christ:

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People

Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[c] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings.

But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[d]

10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones

15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”[e]

16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

A Call to Persevere

17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[f]

Doxology

24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—

25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
