business에 대해(잠22:29)

♡ 4월 스물 두번 째날 잠언 ♡  

  자기 업무(business)에 부지런한 사람(a man diligent)을 네가 보느냐? 그는 왕들 앞에 설 것이요, 천한 자들 앞에 서지 아니하리라.(잠22:29)

♧♧♧ 어떤 업무(business)든지 전심전력을 다 하는 부지런한 사람은 상당한 지위와 유익을 얻는 것은 보편적인 원칙이죠. 피아노를 매일 몇 시간씩 연습하거나 매일 몇 시간씩 자동차에 매달리면 전문가가 되지 않을 수 없죠.
  예수님께서도 반드시 하셔야 할 업무(business)가 있으셨죠.
  예수님께서 열두 살 되셨을 때 예루살렘에 올라갔다가 친족들은 돌아가고 예루살렘 성전에 남아서 박사들과 듣기도 하고 묻기도 하셨죠. 사흘 뒤에 그분의 어머니가 되돌아와서 근심하며 찾고 있었다고 예수님께 말하죠. 이 때 예수님께서 “내가 반드시 내 [아버지] 업무(business)을 해야 함을 알지 못하셨나이까?(눅2:49)”라고 하셨죠.
  사도 바울도 “업무(business)를 게을리 하지 말라(Not slothful in business) 영이 뜨거운 가운데 [주]를 섬기라(fervent in spirit; serving the Lord)(롬12:11)”고 기록했죠.
  모든 그리스도인들에게도 주어진 업무(business)가 있죠.
  부지런히 하나님의 음성에 귀를 기울여야 하고(출15:26) 부지런히 하나님을 찾아야 하고(히11:6) 부지런히 혼을 이겨 와야 하죠(행1:8, 잠11:30)

 맡겨진 업무(business)에 부지런한 사람으로 위대하신 왕 앞에 서게 되는 사랑하는 형제자매님들 모두가 되시기를!!! ♧♧♧

 

 

• 질문 공유
  ’work‘ 과 ’business‘의 차이가 무얼까 생각이 듭니다.
  많은 분들이 생계를 위해 열심히 일하는 것이 work일텐데,
  그렇다면 말씀을 읽고 기도하고 구령하고 경배하는 것은 business인가요?
  ’business‘라고 하니까 좀 거창하게 생각되서요.
  
  
• 답변 :
   ‘work'은 창세기 2장 2-3절 기록대로 하나님께서 하시는 일(work)이죠.
   “his work, all his work, all his work”이라고 하시니까요.
   사람들이 하나님의 말씀(word)을 믿으면 사람들이 믿은 그 단어 그대로 하나님께서 일(work)을 하시죠. 하나님께서 하신 일(work)을  선한 일(good work)이라고 하구요.
   왜냐하면 온 우주에서 선하신 분(good)은 하나님 한분 외에는 없으니까요.(마19:17)
   선한 일(good work)이란 유일하게 선하신 분이신 하나님께서 하시는 일(work)을 말하는 것이죠.
   죄인인 사람이 일(work)을 한다면 그 일은 악한 일(evil work)이죠.
  헛되고 부정한 물건과 같고 거짓말쟁이 죄인인 사람에게서 선한 것(good)이 나올 수 없으니까요.^^
  
  'business'는 사람들이 해야 하는 것이 다르죠.(창39:11, 신24:5, 수2:14,20)
  
   요셉이 자기 업무(his business)를 보러 집에 들어갔는데(창39:11)
   사람이 새로이 아내를 취하였거든 전쟁에 나가지 말 것이요, 무슨 업무(any business)든지 그에게 맡기지 말 것이며(신24:5)
   그 사람들이 그녀에게 응답하되, 네가 우리의 업무(our business)를 입 밖에 내지 아니하면 우리 생명으로 너희 생명을 대신할 것이요(수2:14)
   만일 네가 우리의 업무(our business)를 입 밖에 내면 네가 우리로 하여금 서약하게 한 맹세에서 우리가 벗어나리라, 하니(수2:20)
  
  각 사람들에게 해야 할 일(work)이 주어진 것이 아니라 업무(business)가 주어졌죠.^^
