이사야 62.6-7 중보자, 선교사 그리고 프로보챔러

2. 내 삶에 적용 오늘 본문은 1-5절에서 하나님의 은혜로 새로운 이름과 지위를 얻은 시온의 백성들이, 이제 어떠한 삶의 자리로 나아가야 하는지를 명확히 보여준다. 구원받은 우리는 단순히 객석에 앉아하나님의 일하심을 구경하는 관중이 아니다. 하나님은 우리를 '성벽 위의 파수꾼'으로 임명(פקד)하셨다(6절). 성벽은 내면의 신앙과 외부의 세상이 교차하는 치열한 경계선이다.가정, 직장, 학교, 그리고 우리가 맺고 있는 모든 사회적 관계가바로 우리가 서 있어야 할 임무 구역이다. 하나님은 이 성벽 위에 우리를 세우시고그곳에 하나님의 쩨다카와 평화가 온전히 실현되도록 책임지는 파수꾼의 사명을 맡기셨다. 파수꾼으로 부름받은 우리의 임무는 ‘기억하게 하는 자’로 사는 것이다.이는 2가지 방향성을 띠는데1. 영적 기억상실증에 걸려 절망하는 나와 이웃을 향해, 하나님이 주셨던구원 경험과 옛 약속들을 끊임없이 선포하며 ‘상기시키는 것’2. 하나님을 향해 쉬지 않고 부르짖는‘중보자’가 되는 것(6-7절). 즉, 중보자이자 선교사가 되는 것이다.  야웨의 종이라는 특정 예언자에게 주어진 미쉬파트를 세상에 세우는 사명(사 42:4)이오늘 우리 모두에게 새롭게 주어진다. 우리는 하나님을 쉬지 못하게 할 특권이 있다. 계속 하나님의 약속을 가지고 하나님을 귀찮게 해야 하며, 쉬지 않고 위대하신 하나님에 대해 선포하며하나님의 백성들에게 하나님의 위대하신 언약을귀에 딱지가 앉을 정도로 선언해야 한다.  그리고 더욱 중요한 것은 ‘기도만’ 하는 것이 아니라 실제로 정직과 평화를삶의 예배에서 실천하는 ‘예배자’가 되어야 한다. 파수꾼으로 살아간다는 것은 어떻게 사는 것인가? How?  1) 오늘 다량의 업무량, 정서적 불안으로 인해 낙심이 될 때 그저 침묵하는 것이 아닌    스스로를 향해 ‘하나님은 신실하신 분’이라고 선포하기.  2) 우리는 파수꾼으로 부름 받았으니, 하나님이 쉬지 못하시게 계속 재촉할 권리가 있음.    그러니 당당하게 하나님을 귀찮게 하자.3) 내 삶의 성벽에서 미쉬파트와 쩨다카를 수호하기.    오늘 내가 머무는 직장이나 가정에서, 거짓과 타협하지 않기.    [참고문헌]  사전“פקד”. in The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament.
