예수님의 말구유로 가는 여정보기
Responding to God
Mary and Joseph’s betrothal was probably something their families had long prayed for. Both were from King David’s lineage—a perfect match that would have given both families reason to rejoice. But suddenly God interrupted their celebration.
The swiftness of the angel’s descent into Mary’s story gave her no time to prepare for his message: She had found favor with God and would give birth to His Son—even though she was still a virgin. She must have experienced a torrent of emotion—besides her awe, thoughts of what her family and community would think must have poured into her mind. Mary had to decide: Would she surrender to God’s plan, one that seemed impossible and frightening on the surface?
Mary’s courageous and humble response blazed a trail for every believer. When we surrender to God’s interruptions, we can rest in the knowledge that He always has a higher purpose for our lives.
Activity: As a family, research how different cultures celebrate Christmas. Consider adopting some new traditions.
묵상 소개
아주 고요했던 2000여 년 전 밤에, 천사들은 그들의 양떼를 보살피던 양치기들에게 구세주 탄생의 소식을 알렸습니다. 그리고 그 소식을 들은 후에 그 양치기들은 베들레헴 그 말구유에 있는 아기를 찾아 모든 것을 버리고 떠났습니다. 오랜 시간이 지난 지금도, 그 초대는 여전히 변하지 않았습니다. 찰스 스탠리 박사의 이야기를 들어보셔요. 그가 이 계절, 당신을 구세주에게 가까이 갈 수 있게 도울 것이며 하나님 아버지의 사랑 안에 쉴 수 있도록 권할 것입니다.
