로마서 14:9-12 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Romans 14:9-12 The reason Christ died and rose from the dead to live again was so he would be Lord over both the dead and the living. So why do you judge your brothers or sisters in Christ? And why do you think you are better than they are? We will all stand before God to be judged, because it is written in the Scriptures: "As surely as I live, ' says the Lord, 'Everyone will bow before me; everyone will say that I am God.'" Isaiah 45:23 So each of us will have to answer to God.
생명과 죽음의 주인이 되신 분 앞에서 → 대답할 것이 있어야 함
주님께서 죽은 자들 가운데서 다시 살아나셔서 생명과 죽음 모두에 대해 다시 사신 자가 되었는데, 어찌하여 주님 안에 있는 형제, 자매를 판단하고 있는지를 바울은 짚어 주었습니다. 이 부분에 대해 주님께서는 우리에게 대답할 것을 요구하실 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다(9-12절).
제가 주님의 주인 되심을 인정하고 삶과 죽음의 주인이 되시는 것을 알고 있다면, 제가 주님 안에서 형제, 자매들을 판단하지 않을 것 같습니다. 그러나 주님의 주인 되심을 인정하지 않고 자신의 것이라고 생각하며 살아간다면 교만한 마음으로 그들을 판단하는 삶을 살아가는 것입니다.
주여, 제가 주님의 주인 되심을 깊이 인식하는 가운데 사람들에 대한 판단에서 벗어나서 편견보다는 주님의 주재권을 인정하며 살아가는 삶이 되길 기도합니다. 오늘도 다양하게 만나는 분들 앞에서 주님의 주인 되심을 인정하며 살아가는 삶에서 진보하도록 '주님'이라고 외치는 시간을 수시로 갖는 것을 적용해 보겠습니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

Before the One who became Lord of life and death → We must have something to answer for
Paul addressed the question of why we are judging our brothers and sisters in the Lord when the Lord has risen from the dead and has become Lord over both life and death. He said that the Lord will require us to give an answer (vv. 9-12).
If I acknowledge Your lordship and know that You are Lord of life and death, then it seems unlikely that I would judge my brothers and sisters in the Lord. But if I do not acknowledge Your lordship and live as if I own them, then I am living a life of pride and judging them.
Lord, I pray that I will be free from judgment of people while deeply recognizing Your ownership, and that I will live my life recognizing Your sovereignty rather than prejudice. Today, as I encounter various people, let me apply the practice of taking time to say “Lord” from time to time so that I can make progress in living a life that recognizes Your lordship. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen!
