God, the Only Hope of Israel (Jeremiah 17:12-18)

이스라엘의유일한소망이신하나님(예레미야17:12-18)

12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise. 15 Behold, they say to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come!” 16 I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face. 17 Be not a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster. 18 Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed; bring upon them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction!

12 우리의성전은영광스러운보좌와같다. 처음부터높은산위에자리를잡았다. 13 주님, 이스라엘의희망은주님이십니다. 주님을버리는사람마다수치를당하고, 주님에게서떠나간사람마다생수의근원이신주님을버리고떠나간것이므로, 그들은땅바닥에쓴이름처럼지워지고맙니다14 주님, 저를고쳐주십시오, 그러면제가나을것입니다. 저를살려주십시오. 그러면제가살아날것입니다. 주님은제가찬양할분이십니다. 15 백성이저에게빈정거리는말을들어보십시오. “주님께서는말씀으로만위협하시지, 별것도아니지않느냐! 어디위협한대로되게해보시지!” 합니다. 16 그러나저는목자가되지않으려고도망을가거나, 주님섬기기를피하려고하지도않았습니다. 재앙의날을오게해달라고간구하지도않았습니다. 주님께서보시는앞에서제가아뢰었으므로, 주님께서는제가무엇을아뢰었는지를알고계십니다. 17 저를무섭게하지마십시오. 주님은재앙의날에저의피난처이십니다. 18 저를박해하는사람들이수치를당하게하시고, 제가무서워당황하지는않게하여주십시오. 이제는그들에게재앙의날이오게하시며, 갑절의형벌로그들을멸망시켜주십시오. 

Main Idea

Jeremiah confessed that he would not give in, despite being ridiculed by his enemies, and that he would not give up on his calling. He also entreated God to prove the righteousness of his mission, which he had carried out by placing his trust in God, through judgement against his enemies. 

예언자는적들의조롱에도굴하지않고, 사명을포기하지도않았음을고백하면서, 대적을심판하심으로써주를의지한자신의사역이옳았음을증명해달라고간구합니다.

Thinking, and Understanding

Jeremiah prayed to God. First, he praised God, who is the only hope of Israel. This shows that Jeremiah trusted in God. Secondly, he plead for God to heal him and save him. this was because he had been hurt by witnessing the state of the people, who had been derisive of the credibility of the word he has delivered and hadn’t shown the slightest interest in returning to God. Thirdly, Jeremiah entreated God to prove his righteousness by destroying those who had mocked him. this was because by ridiculing Jeremiah they were ridiculing God (vv. 12-18)

예레미야가하나님께기도합니다. 예레미야는먼저이스라엘의유일한희망이신하나님을찬양합니다. 이것은예레미야가하나님을의지하고있음을의미합니다. 둘째로, 예레미야는하나님께서그를치료해주시고구원해주시길간구합니다. 그가전한말의신빙성을조롱하며하나님께돌아올기미조차보이지않는백성들의모습에상처를받았기때문입니다. 셋째로, 예레미야는자신의의로움이입증되도록하나님께서자신을조롱하던자들에게형벌을내려멸망시켜주시길간구합니다.

왜냐하면예레미야에대한조롱은곧하나님께대한조롱이기때문입니다(12-18절).

Who is God?

God, not Jerusalem, was the people’s hope. God, not his temple, was the safe place of dwelling. So, those who had abandoned God and placed their trust in people would become as meaningless  as words written in soil, which are easily erased by wind and rain. There is no power, sign or strength that can stand in GOD’s place. Let’s reflect on ourselves to see if we are not holding onto what is just an empty shell, instead of God. 

예루살렘이아니라하나님이소망이십니다. 성전이아니라하나님이안전한거처입니다. 그러니사람을의지하고하나님을버린자들은홁에기록한글자가비바람에지워지듯이허망하게끝날것입니다. 어디에도하나님을대신할수있는권위도없고상징도없고힘도없습니다. 껍데기만부여잡고하나님을대신하지않는지나의내면을들여다봅시다.

Vv . 16-18 God is hope for those who ceaselessly serve the Lord and carry out the calling God has given them. If you are experiencing hardship right now because of the circumstances or people around you, trust in God, like Jeremiah, and try proclaiming that God is hope. 

하나님은끝까지주님을섬기고주님께서주신사명을감당한자에게희망이되십니다. 지금환경과사람으로인해어려움을겪고있다면예레미야처럼하나님을신뢰하며하나님이희망이시라고선포해보십시오. 

P A:  What do I really rely on? Why do I get nervous as my pocket become lighter? May the Lord let me rely on you again. It was my decision when I left to mission field for the first time that ‘I will live as much as God has given me. if God give me to eat, then I can eat, and if God not give the food to eat, I will not eat.’

So far, God has provided me in abundance. There was no shortage. I hope I want to renew my heart and my decision to be fully rely on GOD. 

내가진정으로의지하는것은무엇인가? 왜주머니가가벼워질수록초조해지는가? 

내가선교지로처음떠날때, 했던결심, ‘하나님이주신만큼내가살겠다. 먹이시면먹고, 안주시면굶고..!’ 

지금까지하나님은내게부족함없이채워주셨다. 다시나의믿음의결단과마음이하나님만의지할수있게새로워지길원한다.

Tip 1 

17:12-13 glorious throne. The temple (14:21; Ps. 80:1).our sanctuary.A place of security when the people trust Yahweh, but a place of thieves when they do not (Jer. 7:1-15). Hope of Israel. The one who secures the future of those who trust in him (14:8, 50:7; 1 Cor. 13:13).

Tip 2

17:15-16 Despite scoffing hearers, Jeremiah preaches faithfully. Your shepherd. One entrusted to feed, protect, and guide. The day of sickness. Judah’s apostasy and its punishment. Out of my lips…before your face. He spoke only what he had received from God(15:19-21).
