[INDEPENDENCE APPRECIATION LORD'S DAY RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 57): They Remained for a Long Time, Speaking Boldly for the Lord (ACTS 14:1-7) (1.) [v.1] After being driven out of Pisidian Antioch by their opposers, Paul and Barnabas press on to Iconium. Although the direction of their mission has pivoted to the Gentile/non-Jewish world (v.46-47), their evangelistic strategy to go first “into the Jewish synagogue” to persuade the Jewish leaders (alongside the Gentile God-fearers who would have been there too) with the gospel has remained the same. Therefore, their pivot to turn to the Gentiles was not essentially an ethnic/racial issue, but a faith issue. For Paul and Barnabas, their calling was to go to wherever the gospel could be received with genuine faith for both Jews and Gentiles/non-Jews alike. In the end, what mattered was that whoever their audience was, the gospel would be believed and embraced with faith. So after being kicked-out of Pisidian Antioch largely by the work of the Jewish leaders who still held great influence with the Gentiles, Paul and Barnabas knew that they still had to reach the Jewish leaders in the synagogues to effectively reach the Gentiles as well. Here in a Jewish synagogue at Iconium, a beautiful work of the gospel initially happens, just as it did in Pisidian Antioch. They “spoke in such a way” that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. *Today, how are people coming to believe in Jesus Christ the same way as in Paul’s day at Iconium? How have you heard the gospel “in such a way” that moved your heart and soul to give your life over to Christ? Are you keeping the faithful teaching, preaching, and hearing of the Word of God as a priority? In turn, are you being nurtured to “speak in such way” that persuasively, clearly, and faithfully articulates and defends the gospel of God’s grace, even against today’s cultural trends and tides? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.2-4] The great Iconium revival did not last long without opposition. As they did in Pisidian Antioch, the “unbelieving Jews” stirred up the Gentiles and “poisoned their minds” against their Christian brothers and sisters. Seeing this spiritual harm and evil done to the minds of the Gentiles and the Church, Paul and Barnabas decided to remain “for a long time” in Iconium, speaking boldly for the Lord, who verified His grace through miraculous signs and wonders done through their hands. Yet, the city remained divided between those siding with “the unbelieving Jews” and those genuine Christians with the apostles. *No matter how faithfully the gospel is preached, nor miraculous signs and wonders done, will all people come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior? As in Paul’s day, how are minds being poisoned today? Does this burden your heart to long-term faithfulness in speaking boldly for the Lord? How can you speak boldly about the “word of His grace” today? What “signs and wonders” has God done in your life to witness to this grace? How has the gospel brought division in your family, relationships, and even among the Church? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.5-7] As the division escalated, an attempt was made to assassinate the apostles, not only by “unbelieving Jews” but also now by “both Gentiles and Jews.” It appears the “unbelieving Jews” were successful to poison their minds and convert Gentiles to their side. When the apostles learned of this, they fled and continued to preach the gospel elsewhere. *Are you being faithful to endure and persevere in Christ, although there might be no real fruitfulness around you? Will you “continue to preach the gospel” without being discouraged or fearful of the past? [Korean translation] 그들이 오래 있어 주를 힘입어 담대히 말했다 (사도행전 14:1-7) (1.) [1절] 바울과 바나바는 대적자들에게 쫓겨나 피시디아 안디옥에서 이고니움으로 향했습니다. 그들의 선교 방향이 이방인/비유대인 세계로 바뀌었지만(46-47절), 먼저 “유대인 회당에 들어가” 유대 지도자들(그리고 그곳에 있었을 이방인 경건한 신자들)에게 복음을 전하려는 전략은 그대로 유지되었습니다. 따라서 그들이 이방인으로 방향을 전환한 것은 본질적으로 인종이나 민족의 문제가 아니라 믿음의 문제였습니다. 바울과 바나바에게 있어서 그들의 소명은 유대인과 이방인/비유대인 모두에게 진정한 믿음으로 복음을 받아들일 수 있는 곳이라면 어디든지 가는 것이었습니다. 결국 중요한 것은 청중이 누구든 복음이 믿음으로 받아들여지는 것이었습니다. 바울과 바나바는 피시디아 안디옥에서 유대인 지도자들의 방해로 쫓겨난 후, 이방인들에게도 효과적으로 복음을 전하기 위해서는 회당의 유대인 지도자들에게 접근해야 한다는 것을 알았습니다. 피시디아 안디옥에서와 마찬가지로, 이코니움의 한 유대인 회당에서 복음이 처음으로 전해지는 아름다운 역사가 일어났습니다. 그들은 "그런 방식으로" 복음을 전했고, 많은 유대인과 그리스인들이 그 말을 믿었습니다. *오늘날, 사람들은 바울 시대 이코니움에서처럼 어떻게 예수 그리스도를 믿게 되고 있습니까? 당신은 어떤 "그런 방식으로" 복음을 듣고 마음과 영혼이 움직여 그리스도께 삶을 바쳤습니까? 당신은 하나님의 말씀을 충실히 가르치고, 전하고, 듣는 것을 최우선 순위에 두고 있습니까? 나아가, 오늘날의 문화적 흐름 속에서도 하나님의 은혜의 복음을 설득력 있고, 명확하고, 충실하게 전하고 변호할 수 있도록 "그런 방식으로" 말하도록 양육받고 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [2-4절] 이코니움의 위대한 부흥 운동은 반대 없이 오래 지속되지 못했습니다. 피시디아 안디옥에서 그랬던 것처럼, “믿지 않는 유대인들”은 이방인들을 선동하여 그들의 그리스도인 형제자매들에 대한 “독을 주입”했습니다. 이방인들과 교회의 마음에 행해지는 이러한 영적인 해악과 악을 보고, 바울과 바나바는 이코니움에 “오랫동안” 머물면서 주님의 은혜를 담대히 전하기로 결정했습니다. 주님께서는 그들의 손을 통해 기적과 이적을 행하심으로써 자신의 은혜를 확증해 주셨습니다. 그러나 도시는 “믿지 않는 유대인들” 편에 선 사람들과 사도들과 함께하는 참된 그리스도인들로 나뉘어 있었습니다. *아무리 충실하게 복음이 전파되고 기적과 이적이 행해진다 해도, 모든 사람이 예수 그리스도를 주님과 구주로 믿게 될까요? 바울 시대처럼, 오늘날에도 어떤 방식으로 사람들의 마음이 독이 주입되고 있습니까? 이러한 현실이 당신의 마음을 무겁게 하여 주님을 위해 담대히 전하는 삶을 오랫동안 충실히 살도록 합니까? 오늘날 당신은 어떻게 “그분의 은혜의 말씀”에 대해 담대하게 전할 수 있습니까? 하나님께서 당신의 삶에서 이 은혜를 증거하기 위해 어떤 “표적과 기적”을 행하셨습니까? 복음은 당신의 가정, 인간관계, 심지어 교회 안에서 어떤 분열을 가져왔습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [5-7절] 분열이 심화되면서 사도들을 암살하려는 시도가 있었는데, 이는 “믿지 않는 유대인들”뿐 아니라 이제는 “이방인과 유대인 모두”에 의해서도 자행되었습니다. “믿지 않는 유대인들”은 사도들의 마음을 독살하고 이방인들을 자기편으로 끌어들이는 데 성공한 것으로 보입니다. 이 소식을 들은 사도들은 도망쳐 다른 곳에서 복음을 계속 전파했습니다. *주변에 실질적인 열매가 없더라도 그리스도 안에서 인내하고 끈기 있게 나아가고 있습니까? 과거에 대한 낙심이나 두려움 없이 “계속해서 복음을 전파”할 것입니까?  *KINGDOM EXPANSION RESPONSIVE SCRIPTURE READING & PRAYER – Deacon Chong Choe will lead us in this week’s Kingdom expansion responsive Scripture reading and prayer.
[[*Please rise, as you are willing and able, out of reverence and honor for the reading of the Word of God and praying of the Word of God.]
