오레곤 교도서 유형자 선교사님의 소식
존경하는 기도 동역자님께,
"너희는 이전일을 기억하지 말며 옛날 일을 생각하지 말라 보라 내가 새 일을 행하리니 이제 나타낼 것이라.." 이사야 43장 18-19a
다사다난했던 2015년도 역사속의 옛적일로 지나고 이제 새해 첫 시간을 맞이했습니다.
지난 한해동안도 저희 교도소 선교를 위하여 그리스도의 사랑과 긍휼의 마음으로 함께 기도해 주셔서 감사합니다.
오늘 새해 첫날 첫 시간에 주님의 약속의 말씀을 묵상해 봅니다.
지난 한해 동안도 주님을 나의 왕으로 내 인생의 주님으로 모시지 못하고 내가 주인이 되어 살아왔던 모든 죄와 허물을 회개합니다.
죄인을 그 죄악대로 갚지 아니하시고 약한 자를 강하게 붙드시며 미련한 자에게 지혜를, 두려워하는 자에게는 평안을 주시는 좋으신 우리 하나님 아버지께 존귀와 감사와 영광을 드리며 우리를 구원해주시는 예수 그리스도 주님께 찬양을 끊임없이 드려지는 새 해가 되기를 소망합니다.
또 우리에게 새해를 열어주시며 우리안에 새 일을 행하시며 나타내주시는 권능의 하나님 성령님께 모든 경배를 올려드립니다.
새해에 주님께서 우리에게 행하실 일들을 기대하며 감사와 찬미로 주님께 나아갑니다.
크리스마스 연말이 되면 수감수들은 가장 어려운 시간입니다.
밖에 사람들은 자유롭게 마음대로 연말을 가족과 사랑하는 사람들과 함께 시간을 나눌 수 있지만 철장안에 같혀진 사람들은 그 모든 것을 초월하고 조그마한 사면이 벽으로 가려진 공간에서 차가운 겨울을 탄식하며 보내고 있습니다. 그러나 긍휼과 자비하심이 크신 하나님은 그들을 쓸어안으시고 그리스도의 은혜의 복음을 듣게하시고 회개로 통하여 주님께로 나오도록 인도하시며 이들안에 새 일을 행하고 계십니다. 할레루야!
지난 10월 11월 수감수들의 기도제목을 올립니다.
2016년, 기쁘고 복된 평강의 새해가 되시기를 축원합니다.
감사합니다!
