Keep the Sabbath(Jeremiah 17:19-27) 안식일을지키라(예레미야17장19-27)

Keep the Sabbath(Jeremiah 17:19-27)

안식일을지키라(예레미야17장19-27)

19 Thus said the Lord to me: “Go and stand in the People’s Gate, by which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem, 20 and say : ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates. 21 Thus says the Lord: Take care for the sake of your lives, and do not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. 22 And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. 23 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction. 24 “’But if you listen to me, declares the Lord, and bring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it, 25 then there shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. 26 And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the Shepelah, from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27 But if you do not listen to me, to keep the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its fates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem and shall not be quenched.”’

19 주님께서나에게이렇게말씀하셨다. “너는가서, 유다의왕들이출입하는‘백성의문’과예루살렘의모든성문에서서, 20 그들에게전하여라. ‘이모든성문으로들어오는유다의왕들과유다의모든백성과예루살렘의모든주민아, 너희는나주의말을들어라. 21 나주가말한다. 너희가생명을잃지않으려거든, 안식일에는어떠한짐도옮기지말고, 짐을가지고예루살렘의성문안으로들어오지도말아라. 22 안식일에는너희의집에서짐도내가지말아라. 어떠한일도해서는안된다. 너희는, 내가너희조상에게명한대로, 안식일을거룩하게지켜야한다. 23 그러나너희조상은아예듣지도않았고, 귀를기울이지도않았다. 그들은순종하지도않았고, 교훈을받아들이지도않았으며, 고집을꺾지도않았다. 24 나주의말이다. 너희가이제나의말에잘순종해서, 안식일에이도성의안으로어떠한짐도가져오지않고, 안식일을거룩하게지키면서, 그날에는어떠한일도하지않으면, 25 다윗의보좌에않은왕들이, 병거와군마를타고, 대신들을거느리고, 유다사람과예루살렘주민까지거느리고, 이도성의성문안으로들어올것이다. 이도성에서는영원히사람이살것이다. 26 유다의성읍들과예루살렘주변과베냐민땅과평원지대와산간지역과남방에서부터사람들이번제물과희생제물과곡식제물과유향을가지고와서, 주의성전에서감사의제물로바칠것이다. 27 그러나너희가안식일을거룩하게지키라는나의말을듣지않고, 안식일에짐을옮기며, 예루살렘의성문안으로짐을가지고들어오면, 내가이성문에불을질러, 예루살렘의궁궐을태워버릴것이다. 아무도그불을끄지못할것이다. 

Main Idea 

If the people of Judah keep the Sabbath, they will become politically secure and worship will be restored, but if they do not keep the Sabbath, they will be judged by consuming fire. 

유다의백성이안식일을지키면정치적으로안정되고예배가회복될것입니다. 하지만안식일을지키지않으면, 불의심판을받게될것입니다.

Thinking, and understanding

Jeremiah received God’s word, which he was commanded to proclaim to all the people, including the king. This word was a message warning the people that they must not break the Sabbath regulations like their ancestors had done. It was also a message of hope, promising that if they properly observed the Sabbath, they would not only keep their lives but the former glory of David’s throne would be restored and the people would able to live in the city of Jerusalem forever. God suddenly mentioned the Sabbath because the Sabbath is the touchstone of maintaining the covenantal relationship between God and his people (vv. 19-27).

예레미야는왕을포함한모든백성들에게선포해야할하나님의말씀을받습니다. 백성들이그들의조상이했던것처럼안식일규례를어기면안된다는경고의메세지였습니다.또한안식일규례를정확하게준수하면생명을잃지않을뿐만아니라다윗의보좌가옛영광을회복하고, 백성들이예루살렘성에영원토록거하게될것이라는희망의메시지이기도했습니다. 하나님께서갑자기안식일규례를언급하신이유는이규례가하나님과백성사이에언약관계를유지하는시금석이기때문입니다(19-27절).

Who is God?

V. 22 God wished to see the absolute devotion and faithfulness of the people through the Sabbath. Absolute devotion to God leads us towards worship, servitude, meditation on the word, and redemption. God rejects formulaic worship, but delights in worship that comes from true devotion. 

하나님의안식일을통해하나님께대한전적인헌신과충성을보길원하십니다. 하나님께대한전적인헌신은나를예배로, 섬김으로, 말씀묵상으로, 구제로인도해주어야합니다. 하나님은형식적인예배는거부하시지만진정한헌신이담긴예배는기뻐하십니다. 

What lesson is God teaching us?

V. 27 If the people did not keep the Sabbath, Jerusalem would be consumed by fire, as originally declared by God. This is because breaking the Sabbath is a sign of trusting in the powers of the world and our own strength, instead of God. If we do not break away from self-reliance and self-centeredness, the Lord will not acknowledge any of our achievements. 

안식일을어기면예정대로불이예루살렘을삼킬것입니다. 안식일을어긴다는것은하나님을의지하지않고열강을의지하고, 자기힘을의지하겠다는뜻이기때문입니다. 자기의존성과자기중심성을탈피하지않으면, 주께서는내성취를하나도인정하지않으실것입니다. 

Tip 

17:21-23 Take care for ..your lives. This message has life-or-death consequences. The Sabbath is a day of ceasing from work, thus a time for physical and spiritual renewal(Ex. 20:8-11) and a gift to mankind(Mark2:23-28).
