Collision Course

Be sure your sin will find you out. 
-Numbers 32:23

Hymn336

My wife and I were driving on an expressway 
when we saw a driver turn left into a median 
turnaround that was intended for emergency 
vehicles only. He was planning to make a U-turn 
and head back the other way. 

Looking to his right, the driver waited for an 
opening in oncoming traffic, so he failed to 
notice that a police car was backing up toward 
him on his left. Finally seeing an opening in 
traffic, the U-turn driver pulled out and rammed 
into the back of the police car. 

It’s not unusual for us to think we can get away with doing something wrong. After King David 
committed adultery with Bathsheba, he too 
was focused on “getting away with it.” But he 
was on a collision course with Nathan. His 
adultery, deceit, and murder “displeased the 
Lord” (2 Sam. 11:27), so when Nathan 
exposed David’s grievous sin, the king was deeply remorseful. He confessed, repented, and rece- 
ived God’s forgiveness. But the consequences 
of his sin never departed from his household 
(12:10). 

If you’ve been trying to get away with some- 
thing, remember that “your sin will find you 
out” (Num. 32:23). Turn yourself in to God. 
Don’t hide. Instead, seek His gracious 
forgiveness. 

God knows all you’ve thought or done— 
From Him you cannot hide; 
Confess to Him and He’ll forgive 
Through Christ the crucified. —Hess

We have to face our sins before 
we can put them behind us.

피할 수 없는 충돌
너희 죄가 정녕 너희를 찾아낼 
줄 알라-민수기 32:23

찬송가336

나와 아내가 고속도로를 가고 있던 중에 한 운전자가 응급 차량 전용인 도로 중앙의 차량 회전 구역으로 좌회전해서 들어가는 것을 보았습니다. 그는 U턴을 해서 반대 방향으로 가려고 했습니다. 


그 운전자는 자기의 오른 쪽을 보면서 주행하는 차들 사이에 끼어들 틈을 찾느라 경찰차가 왼편에서 자기 쪽으로 후진하는 것을 보지 못했습니다. 마침내 빈틈을 보고 출발하던 그 U턴 운전자는 경찰차 뒤를 그대로 들이받고 말았습니다. 


우리는 흔히 잘못을 저지르고도 무사히 지나갈 수 있다고 여깁니다. 다윗 왕이 밧세바와 간음을 행한 후에 그도 “무사히 지나가기”에 몰두했습니다. 그러나 그는 나단과의 충돌을 피할 수 없었습니다. 그의 간음과 기만과 살인은 “여호와 보시기에 악하였고”(삼하 11:27), 나단이 다윗의 중대한 죄를 폭로했을 때 다윗왕은 깊이 후회하였습니다. 그는 자백하고 회개하였으며 하나님의 용서를 받았습니다. 그러나 그의 죄의 결과는 그의 가족들에게서 영영 떠나지 아니하였습니다(12:10). 



만약 당신이 어떤 잘못을 저지르고도 무사하길 바라고 있다면 “너희 죄가 정녕 너희를 찾아낼 줄 알라”(민 32:23)라고 하신 말씀을 기억하십시오. 하나님께 자백하십시오. 숨지 마십시오. 대신 하나님의 자비로우신 용서를 구하십시오. 

하나님은 우리 생각과 행동 모두를 아시네 
하나님으로부터 우리는 숨을 수 없네 
하나님께 고백하면 용서해 주시리 
십자가에 못 박히신 그리스도를 통하여
죄를 넘어서기 위해서는 먼저 그 죄를
직면해야 한다.

2 Samuel 12:1-15

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

2 Samuel 12

Nathan Rebukes David
 1 Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said,

   “There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor. 
2 “The rich man had a great many flocks and herds. 
3 “But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb 
Which he bought and nourished; 
And it grew up together with him and his children. 
It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, 
And was like a daughter to him. 
4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, 
And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, 
To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; 
Rather he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”

 5 Then David’s anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die. 6 He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion.”

 7 Nathan then said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel, ‘It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I also gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these! 9 Why have you despised the word of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. 12 Indeed you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and under the sun.’” 13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has taken away your sin; you shall not die. 14 However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.” 15 So Nathan went to his house.

Loss of a Child
    Then the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s widow bore to David, so that he was very sick.
