진리의 지식(잠18:15)

5월 열 여덟 번 째날 잠언

 분별 있는 자의 마음은 지식(knowledge)을 얻고 지혜로운 자의 귀는 지식(knowledge)을 구하느니라.(잠18:15)

♡♡♡ 하나님께서는 모든 사람이 구원을 받고 진리의 지식(knowledge of the truth)에 이르기를 원하시죠.(딤전 2:4) 그러나 온 세상을 속이는 자인 마귀는 진리의 지식은 어렵고, 학위가 있는 특별한 사람들만 얻을 수 있는 것이라고 속이죠.(계12:9, 시62:9)
  이 세상에서 돈을 얻고, 유명해지고 존경을 받는 높은 지위에 오를 수만 있다면 무엇이라도 할 사람들이 아주 많죠. 수단과 방법을 가리지 않고 모은 세상의 부와 명예와 권력은 아무도 영원히 누리지 못 하죠.(딤전6:7)
 하나님께서 “은을 받지 말고 나의 훈계를 받으며 최상의 금보다 지식을 받으라(잠8:10)”고 하시죠. 진리의 지식은 어린아이처럼 겸손한 마음으로 찾고 구하는 자들에게 단순하고 명백하고 쉽기 때문이죠.(눅10:21, 잠8:9, 14:6)
 영원한 재산과 명예와 지위를 얻을 수 있는 진리의 지식을 얻고 구하기 위해 마음을 쏟고 귀를 기울이는 사람들은 찾기 매우 어렵죠.
  사랑하는 우리 지체들 모두는 영원한 재산과 명예와 지위를 얻을 수 있는 진리의 지식에 모든 것을 쏟아 붓는 분별 있는 지혜로운 자들이 되시기를!!! ♡♡♡
