26 February Wed, 2014 The Power Of Love [ 1 John 4:7 - 4:10 ] - hymn299 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the [atoning sacrifice] for our sins. — 1 John 4:10 Books on leadership often appear on best-seller lists. Most of them tell how to become a powerful and effective leader. But Henri Nouwen’s book In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership is written from a different perspective. The former university professor who spent many years serving in a community of developmentally disabled adults says: “The question is not: How many people take you seriously? How much are you going to accomplish? Can you show some results? But: Are you in love with Jesus? ... In our world of loneliness and despair, there is an enormous need for men and women who know the heart of God, a heart that forgives, that cares, that reaches out and wants to heal.” John wrote, “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the [atoning sacrifice] for our sins”(1 John 4:9-10). “The Christian leader of the future,” writes Nouwen, “is the one who truly knows the heart of God as it has become flesh ... in Jesus.” In Him, we discover and experience God’s unconditional, unlimited love.     Father, please show the wonder of Your great love through me to others today so that they might know they need not walk through life alone. Let my heart personally experience and display Your care. God’s love in our heart gives us a heart for others. 1 John 4:7-10 [7] Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. [8] He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. [9] In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. [10] In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

2014년 02월 26일 (수) 사랑의 힘 [ 요한1서 4:7 - 4:10 ] - 찬송가 299장 사랑은 여기 있으니 우리가 하나님을 사랑한 것이 아니요 오직 하나님이 우리를 사랑하사 우리 죄를 속하기 위하여 화목 제물로 그 아들을 보내셨음이라 - 요한1서 4:10 리더십에 대한 책들이 종종 베스트셀러 명단에 오릅니다. 그 책들 대부분은 어떻게 하면 강력하고 유능한 지도자가 되는지에 대해 말합니다. 그러나 헨리 나우웬의 「예수님의 이름으로: 기독교 리더십에 대하여」라는 책은 다른 관점에서 저술되었습니다. 여러 해 동안 발달장애 성인들을 섬겼던 전직 대학교수인 그는 리더십에 대해 이렇게 말합니다. “우리가 해야 할 질문은, 얼마나 많은 사람들이 당신을 진지하게 받아들이는가? 당신은 얼마나 많은 것들을 성취할 것인가? 당신은 지금 어떤 결과를 보여줄 수 있는가? 같은 것들이 아니라, 당신은 예수님을 사랑하고 있는가? 입니다. …고독하고 절망적인 이 세상에는 용서하고, 돌보고, 다가가서 치유해주기를 원하는 마음, 즉 하나님의 마음을 아는 사람들이 아주 많이 필요합니다.” 요한은 이렇게 썼습니다. “하나님의 사랑이 우리에게 이렇게 나타난바 되었으니 하나님이 자기의 독생자를 세상에 보내심은 그로 말미암아 우리를 살리려 하심이라 사랑은 여기 있으니 우리가 하나님을 사랑한 것이 아니요 하나님이 우리를 사랑하사 우리 죄를 속하기 위하여 ‘화목 제물’로 그 아들을 보내셨음이라”(요일 4:9-10). 나우웬은 “미래의 그리스도인 지도자”는 “예수님 안에서 육신으로 화한 하나님의 마음을 진정으로 아는 사람”이라고 쓰고 있습니다. 우리는 하나님의 무조건적이고 무한한 사랑을 주님 안에서만 발견하고 경험할 수 있습니다.     하나님 아버지, 주님의 경이로운 위대한 사랑을 오늘 저를 통해 다른 사람들에게 보여주심으로 그들이 홀로 인생길을 걷지 않아도 된다는 것을 알게 해주시옵소서. 제 마음이 몸소 하나님의 보살핌을 경험하고 나타내도록 하시옵소서. 하나님의 사랑은 우리 마음속에 다른 사람들을 위한 마음을 갖게 하신다. 요한1서 4:7-10 [7] 사랑하는 자들아 우리가 서로 사랑하자 사랑은 하나님께 속한 것이니 사랑하는 자마다 하나님으로부터 나서 하나님을 알고 [8] 사랑하지 아니하는 자는 하나님을 알지 못하나니 이는 하나님은 사랑이심이라 [9] 하나님의 사랑이 우리에게 이렇게 나타난 바 되었으니 하나님이 자기의 독생자를 세상에 보내심은 그로 말미암아 우리를 살리려 하심이라 [10] 사랑은 여기 있으니 우리가 하나님을 사랑한 것이 아니요 하나님이 우리를 사랑하사 우리 죄를 속하기 위하여 화목 제물로 그 아들을 보내셨음이라

1 John 4

New International Version (NIV)

On Denying the Incarnation

4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, ³ but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

⁴ You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. ⁵ They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. ⁶ We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit^[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

God’s Love and Ours

⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. ⁹ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

¹³ This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. ¹⁶ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ¹⁷ This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

¹⁹ We love because he first loved us. ²⁰ Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. ²¹ And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
