1. Steward – The Preacher’s Message and Authority
A. Preacher is NOT a Prophet – message is not Direct and Original Revelation from God
1. Sometimes we use the descriptive word ‘prophetic’ to describe a preacher’s unique insights or bold declaration. But this God-given ability is not the same as the office of the Prophet.
2. OT Prophets were the direct ‘mouth-piece’ of God. God’s message to Moses about the work of his brother Aaron: “You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.” Exodus 4.15,16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.” Exodus 7.1 여호와께서 모세에게 대답하여 이르시되 보라 내가 너를 바로에게 하나님과 같이 하게 하였으니 네 형 아론이 너의 선지자가 되리라.
Description of Prophet like Moses who will come: “I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” Deuteronomy 18.18,19 “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”
Amos 아모스3.7-계시가 전달되는 방식을 설명하는 말씀으로서:
"자기의 비밀을 그 종 선지자들에게 보이지 아니하시고는 결코 행하심이 없으시리라"라는 구절입니다. 이 구절은 하나님이 중요한 일들을 선지자들에게 미리 알려 주신다는 중요한 원칙을 제시하고 있습니다. 하나님의 백성을 위한 뜻과 계획은 반드시 선지자들을 통해 전달된다는 사실을 강조합니다. 이 구절은 하나님의 주권과 그의 선지자들에 대한 특별한 관계를 설명하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 다시 말하여 본문 7 절은, '하나님께서는 범죄에 대한 징계라도 먼저 예고하신 후, 심판을 행하십니다.' 가령, 노아의 홍수, 소돔과 고모라, 애굽에 내린 열 가지 재앙 등 대부분의 경우가 그러합니다. 예언자는 이것을 미리 선포해야 할 사명을 받은 자입니다.- 예언자가 지어내서 가짜 예언을 하는 것이 아니라는 것을 증명하는 귀중한 말씀입니다.
우리가 하나님을 향하여 전적으로 열린 마음으로 엎드릴 때 하나님의 뜻을 알려 주십니다. 8 절: ‘사자가 으르렁거리는데’라는 말씀은 하나님 심판 선포의 상징적 표현으로서 임박한 전쟁과 멸망의 예고를 가리킵니다 (사 5:29; 렘 2:15). 이 구절은 아모스가 자기의 예언이 여호와에 의한 것임을 밝혀 줍니다.
“For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”-(“For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.) Isaiah 1.20 “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1.21 Last OT Prophet: “the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert” Luke 3.2 NT Prophets served while the Scriptures were being formulated: “a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea... he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit says, `In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'" Acts 21.10-11 2 “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy… everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort… he who prophesies edifies the church…He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.” 1 Corinthians 14.1-5 3. No original revelation is given today to the Christian preacher; instead he speaks the Word given once for all in Scripture. “If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.” 1 Peter 4.11 “they have been entrusted with the very words of God” Romans 3.2 4. He preaches in the power of the Spirit, not under direct inspiration of the Spirit. “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit” 1 Corinthians 12.7,8 B. The Preacher is NOT an Apostle – foundational messengers of the Church of Jesus Christ “God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” Ephesians 2.19,20 “mystery of Christ… now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets” Ephesians 3.4,5 1. Apostle – “sent one” special commission as fully authorized representative of sender “Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?” 1 Corinthians 9.1 “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2.13 2. Close parallel between OT Prophets and NT Apostles “God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” Ephesians 2.19,20 “Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3.15,16 3. These offices are closed now that Scripture has been completed “the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints” Jude 3 3 “If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” Revelation 22.18,19
C. Preacher is NOT a False Prophet or False Apostle
1. Sign of a True Prophet “they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people”(
But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. 그러나 만일 그들이 나의 회의에 섰더라면, 그들은 나의 말을 나의 백성에게 선포하여 그들을 그들의 악한 길과 악에서 돌이키게 하였으리라.)-Jeremiah 23.22
2. Signs of False Prophet “They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD... prophesy lies in my name…who prophesy the delusions of their own minds…every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God” Jeremiah 23.16,25,26,36
D. Preacher is NOT a ‘Babbler’
바블러- 끊임없이 또는 일관되지 않게 말하는 사람을 묘사합니다. - 별 생각 없이 빠르게 말하는 사람을 말합니다. - 험담을 하거나 불필요한 정보를 공유하는 경향이 있는 사람에 대해 이야기합니다. 비슷한 단어로 '프라틀러(prattler)'- 특히 사소하거나 중요하지 않은 문제에 대해 말을 많이 하는 사람을 묘사합니다. - 유치하거나 어리석은 방식으로 말하는 사람을 말합니다. - 목적 없이 떠들썩하거나 수다를 떠는 경향이 있는 사람에 대해 이야기합니다. 냉택(전라도 사투리로 쓰잘떼기 없는)없이 떠드는 부류지요.
Athenian Philosophers asked of Paul: "What is this babbler trying to say?" Acts 17.18 Literal definition: “seed picker” – like scavenger bird picking up whatever they can find The preacher can borrow from others when they credit their sources and when ideas support their own carefully thought out convictions and understanding. Babbler: No mind of his own, thoughtlessly borrows others ideas; no discernment. E. Steward – Trustee who Dispenses the Goods of Another “So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4.1,2 1. OT Examples “Joseph…said to the steward of his house” Genesis 43.16 “Ahishar--in charge of the palace” 1 Kings 4.6 “This is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: "Go, say to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of the palace” Isaiah 22.15 “the officials in charge of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons” 1 Chronicles 28.1 2. NT Examples “the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, `Call the workers and pay them their wages” Matthew 20.8 “an overseer is entrusted with God's work” Titus 1.7 4 “a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them” Matthew 24.14-30 “he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. `Put this money to work,' Luke 19.13 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4.10 F. The Preacher as Steward 1. Source of Incentive: Trust has been given, the Master depends on him. “we speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel” 1 Thessalonians 2.4 “Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.” 1 Corinthians 9.16,17 “I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.” Romans 1.14,15 2. Content of our Message: Not our invented ideas, but God’s entrusted Word. “the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me” 1 Timothy 1.11 “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3.11 “The seed is the word of God.” Luke 8.11 “Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you.” Hebrews 13.7 “Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care.” 1 Timothy 6.20 “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you--guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” 2 Timothy 1.14 “we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God…setting forth the truth plainly” 2 Corinthians 4.2 “enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness” Acts 4.29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29.29 3. Application of our Message: God, the householder, determines what goes into His Storehouse (His Word). The Steward has the responsibility to take it out at the right time in the right amounts for the right people. 5 "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?” Luke 12.42 “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.” 2 Timothy 4.2 “the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness” Colossians 1.25 “For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.” Acts 20.27 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3.16,17 4. Nature of the Preacher’s Authority: “The Bible Says…” • Not a Prophet who says “thus says the Lord” • Not an Apostle who speaks directly for God • Not the Son of God who says, “I say unto you” “everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me…those who fear the commands of our God” Ezra 9.4, 10.3 The LORD: "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” Isaiah 66.2 “If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel ashamed. Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.” 2 Thessalonians 3.14,15 Authority is connected to Accuracy of careful handling of Scripture Text. The Household is fed by the food the householder supplies, not the steward who dispenses it. May our Listeners hear God’s Voice through our voice. 5. The Preacher’s Discipline: Stewards all the Master’s vast resources; know His Word well. “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2.15 Apostles: “we will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." Acts 6.4 “For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.” Ezra 7.10 “Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.” 2 Timothy 2.7 6 "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old." Matthew 13.52 2. Herald – The Preacher’s Proclamation and Appeal A. Differences between Steward and Herald 1. Steward feeds the Household; Herald proclaims a message to the World. “Go and proclaim the kingdom of God." Luke 9.60 2. Announcement of a Great Event in familiar and understandable words; Stewards of what God has Said; Heralds of what God has Done. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1.1-5 3. Steward is responsible to serve; Herald’s listeners are responsible to respond. “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.” Acts 17.30 4. Both stewards and heralds mediate; steward stands between householder and the household, herald stands between King and subject people. “His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.” Ephesians 2.15-17 “You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.” Acts 10.36 B. OT Examples Joseph in Egypt: He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and men shouted before him, "Make way!" Genesis 41.43 “At the king's command (Hezekiah), couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and from his officials, which read: "People of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel” 2 Chronicles 30.6 7 So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, "This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!" Esther 6.11 “the herald loudly proclaimed, "This is what you are commanded to do, O peoples, nations and men of every language” Daniel 3.4 C. NT Examples It is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way" -- "a voice of one calling in the desert, `Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'" And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Mark 1.2-5 “I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles” 1 Timothy 2.7 “And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.” 2 Timothy 1.11 D. The Christ we Herald SAVIOR: “we preach Christ crucified” 1 Corinthians 1.23 LORD: “For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord” 2 Corinthians 4.5 E. Proclamation: What God has Done For Us 15. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19. that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. 21. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5.15,18,19,21 • God does not count our sins against us • God has made Christ to be sin for us • Salvation is a gracious and finished work F. Appeal: What God Demands From Us 19. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5.19,20 8 • We are God’s Ambassadors – we appeal to people • God Himself makes His Appeal through Us G. The Message we Herald – Proclamation and Appeal 1. An Appeal without Proclamation is Emotionalism “We have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.” 2 Corinthians 4.2 2. The Gospel is Directed to the Intellect – People must understand the Truth before they are asked to Respond to it. “Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.” Acts 9.22 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ, " he said. Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas” Acts 17.2-4 “he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day” Acts 17.17 “Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.” Acts 18.4 “Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way.” Acts 19.8,9 See also – Acts 18.19, 24.35, 9.29, 18.28, 19.26, 28.23,24, 14.3, 16.12,14, 18.11,18, 13.12, 17.19, 5.42, 28.31 3. When true understanding is given, life transformation follows. “But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” Romans 6.17,18 “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4.4-6 9 “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2.13 “But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.” 2 Thessalonians 2.13-15 “the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness” Titus 1.1 4. We must follow our Proclamation with an Appeal – urging people to embrace the Message Peter’s balanced example in preaching: The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14. You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see. 17. "Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. 19. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20. and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. Acts 3.13-20 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Mark 1.15 3. Witness – The Preacher’s Experience and Humility Steward – Domestic metaphor – Householder entrusts Steward with care of his goods Herald – Political metaphor – Public proclamation of Royal Decree Witness – Legal metaphor – Giving defense of what we have seen and heard “However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.” Acts 20.24 A. We declare that we know Him by our Lives and our Message “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.” 1 Timothy 4.16 10 “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13.35 B. Jesus is on Trial 1. Before Jewish Critics in the First Century “But Peter and John replied…For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." Acts 4.19,20 “Paul motioned with his hand and began his defense: "King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews” Acts 26.1,2 2. Before the Unbelieving World Today “the whole world is under the control of the evil one” 1 John 5.19 “Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.” 1 John 3.13 “The world and its desires pass away” 1 John 2.17 “On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10.18-20 C. We Witness to Jesus – not to Sin or Self “God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.” Acts 2.32 “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.” Acts 3.15 “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. "We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen” Acts 10.38-41 “John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1.1,2 D. Holy Spirit – Empowers our Witness of Jesus "When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.” John 15.26,27 “He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you” John 16.14 “And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.” 1 John 5.6 11 E. The Father – Ultimate Witness of Jesus “And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.” John 5.37 “My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.” John 8.54 "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.” John 17.1 F. Scripture: How the Father witnesses to Jesus 1. Old Testament “And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me…These are the Scriptures that testify about me” John 5.37,39 “Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.” 1 Peter 1.10-12 2. New Testament Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.” John 7.16 “For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.” John 12.49 “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19.10 G. Through the Church “One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of any crime or offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” Deuteronomy 19.15 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1.8 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that `every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church” Matthew 18.15-17 “After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.” Luke 10.1 12 H. Qualifications for a Witness 1. Personal Experience of Jesus Christ “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1.1-3 Risen Jesus to Saul: “You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.” Acts 22.15 `Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you.” Acts 26.16 “They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.” 1 Timothy 1.7 2. Humility – following the example of John the Baptist’s witness “He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.” John 1.7,8 “John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'" John 1.15 “Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ. " John 1.19,20 “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3.30 “The Man, the whole man, lies behind the sermon. Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes 20 years to make a sermon, because it takes 20 years to make a man.” E.M. Bounds 4. Father – The Preacher’s Love and Gentleness Steward > House Herald > Public Place in the City Witness > Law Courts Father > House > Loves and Cares for his Children Preaching involves a personal relationship between the preacher and his people; before, during and after the preaching. 13 A. Be Careful of Spiritual Dependency > Not the AUTHORITY of Father “And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” Matthew 23.9 Our dependency is to fully in God, not man > God alone is our Physical and Spiritual provider “We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” Colossians 1.28 “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ” Ephesians 4.11-15 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Ephesians 1.3 B. Affection of the Father “My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you” Galatians 4.19 “I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains.” Philemon 10 “For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory” 1 Thessalonians 2.11,12 C. Discipline of the Father “I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children. Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 4.14,15 “And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!” Hebrews 12.5-9 14 D. Understanding of the Father Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart.” Acts 1.24 “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6.4 “He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.” John 2.25 E. Gentleness of the Father “What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?” 1 Corinthians 4.21 “By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you” 2 Corinthians 10.1 “we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” 1 Thessalonians 2.7,8 “And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth” 2 Timothy 2.24,25 F. Simplicity of the Father The good preacher tries to make “hard things easy.” “When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.” 1 Corinthians 2.1-5 G. Earnestness of the Father “So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.” Acts 20.31 “Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness.” Romans 11.22 H. Example of the Father “in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate me.” 1 Corinthians 4.16,17 15 “Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5.2,3 I. Prayer of the Father “God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight” Philippians 1.8,9 “Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.” Romans 10.1 5. Servant – The Preacher’s Power and Motive A. Greek words for ‘Servant.’ 1. ‘oiketes’ – domestic, household servant, steward "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Luke 16.13 “Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants” Acts 10.7 “Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls.” Romans 14.4 2. ‘doulos’ – bond slave, no legal rights, personal possession of their master “For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave.” 1 Corinthians 7.22 “Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.” 1 Peter 2.16 3. ‘huperetes’ – subordinate, one who rows in lower galley of warship “men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God” 1 Corinthians 4.1 4. ‘diakonos’ – one who carries out the commands of another, attendant, minister His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." John 2.5 “What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe--as the Lord has assigned to each his task.” 1 Corinthians 3.5 16 • Preacher is instrument of God, agent of His powerful message • Paul wanted to stop the ‘personality cult’ in the Corinthian church. • We go to church to ‘worship God’ not to ‘hear a man’ – for spiritual profit not just pleasure. • Sermons are to be tools – to make us more like Christ – not work’s of art B. We need God’s Power in our Preaching 1. In many places the church is stagnant, or even in serious decline; few conversions “I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Luke 24.49 2. We must humbly acknowledge our weakness and need of God “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.” 2 Corinthians 4.3-5 “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.” Ephesians 2.1,2 C. Power in the Word of God “For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.” 1 Corinthians 1.19-21 • Contrast between ‘to know’ and ‘to save’ – God will save, not intellectual enlightenment • God brings saving knowledge by Himself, through revelation of His Word • Salvation comes to those who believe, not to the wise and clever "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23.29 D. Power in the Cross of Christ “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God… For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand 17 miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 1.17,18,21-24 • Jew: To the legalist the cross is a stumbling block, wounding their pride • Gentile: To the intellectual it is a scandal, insulting their intelligence “When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.” 1 Corinthians 2.1-3 • Saving power is not in the preacher • God saves through a foolish message conveyed through weakness and trembling E. Power through the Holy Spirit “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.” 1 Corinthians 2.4,5 • Paul did not trust his own intellect or eloquence • Holy Spirit uses gospel preaching to drive word into people’s hearts • Our confidence in preaching is in the Holy Spirit “The gospel is preached in the ears of all; it only comes with power to some. The power that is in the gospel does not lie in the eloquence of the preacher; otherwise men would be converters of souls. Not does it lie in the preacher’s learning; otherwise it would consist in the wisdom of men. We might preach till our tongues rotted, till we should exhaust our lungs and die, but never a soul would be converted unless there were mysterious power going with it – the Holy Ghost changing the will of man. O Sirs! We might as well preach to stone walls as preach to humanity unless the Holy Ghost be with the Word, to give it power to convert the soul.” Charles Spurgeon Difference between preaching and propaganda – • Propaganda is to suppress, distort, or embellish the truth; preaching is to faithfully proclaim the Word God has entrusted to us. • Propaganda aims to please and win popularity; preaching is offensive to the proud, and a stumbling block to the intellectuals. • Propaganda relies on psychological techniques, pressure, pathos, logic, and flattery; preaching is a plain message relying on invisible power of the Holy Spirit. 18 F. Holiness and Humility 1. We must strive to be Holy to become a useful vessel of the Master “In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2.20-22 “Remember you are God’s sword – His instrument – I trust a chosen vessel unto Him to bear His name. In great measure, according to the purity and perfections of the instrument, will be the success. It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.” Robert Murray M’Cheyne 2. We must strive to be Humble • God’s power is revealed through human weakness and God’s wisdom through human folly. • Since people cannot be saved by oratory, Paul preached in weakness and trembling. • He was willing to be a ‘fool’ for Christ’s sake, not trusting in his massive intellect • God honors the preaching of a man willing to be a weakling and a fool • Paul’s ultimate goal in preaching was the Glory of God “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1.27-31 * * * *

1. 스튜어드 - 설교자의 메시지와 권위
2. 헤럴드 - 설교자의 선언과 호소
3. 증인 - 설교자의 경험과 겸손
4. 아버지 - 설교자의 사랑과 온화함
5. 하인 - 설교자의 힘과 동기
1. 스튜어드 - 설교자의 메시지와 권위
1. 설교자는 예언자가 아니다 - 메시지는 하나님의 직접적이고 독창적인 계시가 아니다. 때때로 우리는 설교자의 독특한 통찰이나 대담한 선언을 설명하기 위해 '예언자'라는 설명적인 단어를 사용합니다. 그러나 이 하나님이 주신 능력은 예언자의 직무와 같지 않습니다. 하나님께서 모세에게 그의 형제 아론의 업적에 대해 말씀하신 메시지: "너희는 그에게 말씀하시고 말씀을 입에 담으라; 내가 너희 둘 다 말하고 너희가 무엇을 하는지 가르치리라. 그분은 너희를 위해 백성에게 말씀하실 것이며, 마치 그가 너희의 입이고 너희가 그에게 하나님인 것처럼 될 것이다." 출애굽기 4.15,16 그때 주께서 모세에게 말씀하셨습니다. "내가 너희를 파라오에게 하나님처럼 만들었고, 너희 형제 아론이 너희의 예언자가 될 것이다." 출애굽기 7.1 모세와 같은 예언자에 대한 설명: "내가 내 말을 입에 넣으리라, 그분은 내가 그에게 명령하는 모든 것을 말씀하시리라. 선지자가 내 이름으로 말씀하시는 내 말을 듣지 않으면 내가 직접 그를 부르리라." 신명기 18.18,19 "분명히 주권자 주님은 그의 계획을 종들에게 드러내지 않고는 아무것도 하지 않는다." 아모스 3.7 "주님의 입이 말씀하셨으므로." 이사야 1.20" 예언은 사람의 뜻에서 비롯된 적이 없지만, 사람들은 성령에 따라 하나님으로부터 말씀하셨습니다." 베드로 1.21: "마지막 선지자의 말씀이 왔다."'" 사도행전 21.10-112 "사랑의 길을 따르고 영적 선물, 특히 예언의 선물을 간절히 원하라... 예언하는 모든 사람은 인간의 강화, 격려, 위안을 위해 말을 한다... 예언하는 사람은 교회를 교화한다... 예언하는 사람은 통역하지 않는 한 혀로 말하는 사람보다 더 크다." 고린도전 14.1-53. 오늘날 기독교 설교자에게 최초의 계시가 주어지지 않고, 대신 성경에서 모든 사람에게 주어진 말씀을 한 번씩 말한다. "누군가가 말을 하면 하나님의 말씀을 말하는 사람처럼 해야 한다." 1 베드로 4.11" 그들은 하나님의 말씀을 로마서 3.24에 맡겼다. 그는 성령의 직접적인 영감을 받지 않고 성령의 능력으로 설교한다." 이제 각자에게 성령의 발현은 공익을 위해 주어진다. 한 사람에게 있다, 영을 통해 지혜의 메시지를 전하며, 같은 영을 통해 다른 사람에게 지식의 메시지를 전합니다.\n\n고린도서 12.7,8 B.
설교자는 사도가 아닙니다 – 예수 그리스도 교회의 근본적인 전령입니다. "사도와 선지자들의 기초 위에 세워진 하나님의 집", 그리스도 예수님 자신을 주요 초석으로 삼습니다." 에베소서 2.19,20 "그리스도의 신비... 이제 영이 하나님의 거룩한 사도와 선지자들에게 계시됩니다." 에베소서 3.4,51. 사도 – "하나의 특별한 위임" 내가 사도가 아닌가요? 내가 우리 주님을 보지 못했나요?"\n\n고린도서 9.1 "그리고 우리는 하나님께 계속 감사드립니다. 왜냐하면 당신이 우리에게서 들은 하나님의 말씀을 받았을 때, 그것을 사람들의 말씀으로 받아들이지 않고, 실제로 하나님의 말씀으로 받아들였기 때문입니다. 이는 당신을 믿는 사람들에게 작용하고 있습니다."\n\n1 테살로니아서 2.132. OT 선지자와 NT 사도들 사이의 밀접한 평행선"\n사도와 선지자들의 기초 위에 세워진 하나님의 집은 그리스도 예수님 자신을 주요 초석으로 삼고 있습니다." 에베소서 2.19,20"우리 주님의 인내는 구원을 의미하며, 사랑하는 형제 바울도 하나님께서 주신 지혜로 당신에게 글을 썼다는 것을 명심하십시오. 그는 모든 편지에 동일한 방식으로 글을 쓰며, 이러한 문제들에 대해 이야기합니다. 그의 편지에는 무지하고 불안정한 사람들이 다른 성경과 마찬가지로 자신의 파괴로 왜곡하는 이해하기 어려운 내용이 포함되어 있습니다."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n그의 편지에는 성경이 완성된 지금 이 사무실들이 문을 닫았습니다.\n"성자의 주드 33"누구든지 그들에게 무언가를 더하면, 하나님은 이 책에 묘사된 재앙을 더할 것입니다. 그리고 이 예언서에서 누가 말을 빼앗으면, 하나님은 생명나무와 성스러운 도시에서 그의 몫을 빼앗을 것이며, 이 책에 묘사되어 있습니다." 요한 22.18,19, C"그들은 주님의 입에서가 아니라 자신의 마음에서 비전을 말합니다... 예언은 내 이름에 있습니다... 그들은 자신의 마음의 망상을 예언합니다... 모든 사람의 말이 그의 신탁이 되어 살아있는 하나님의 말씀을 왜곡합니다." 예레미야 23.16,25,26,36D. 설교자는 '밥블러'가 아닙니다. 아테네 철학자들은 바울에게 물었습니다: "이 밥블러는 무엇을 말하려고 하나요?" 17.18절 문자 그대로의 정의: "씨앗 줍는 사람" - 마치 청소부 새가 찾을 수 있는 모든 것을 줍는 것처럼 설교자는 자신의 출처를 인정하고 자신의 생각을 신중하게 생각하고 이해할 수 있을 때 다른 사람으로부터 빌릴 수 있습니다. 밥블러: 자신의 생각은 생각 없이 다른 사람의 생각을 빌리거나 분별력이 없습니다. 즉, 스튜어드 - 다른 사람의 물건을 처분하는 신탁자" 그러므로 사람들은 우리를 그리스도의 하인이자 비밀을 위임받은 사람으로 간주해야 합니다
하나님의 말씀. 이제 신탁을 받은 자는 충실함을 증명해야 합니다."\n1 고린도서 4.1,21. OT 예시 "요셉이 집의 관리인에게... 말씀하셨다" 창세기 43.16"아히샤르--궁전을 책임지고 있다"1 왕 4.6"이것이 전능하신 주님께서 말씀하시는 것입니다: "이 관리인에게 가서 궁전을 책임지고 있는 셰브나에게 말씀하라" 이사야 22.15"왕과 그의 아들들의 모든 재산과 가축을 책임지고 있는 관리들"1 연대기 28.12.

"이 돈을 일에 내놓아라, 누가복음 19.13"그가 받은 모든 선물을 다른 사람들을 위해 사용해야 하며, 하나님의 은혜를 다양한 형태로 충실히 다스려야 한다."\n1 베드로 4.10F. 스튜어드로서의 설교자 1. 인센티브의 출처: 신뢰가 주어졌고, 주인은 그에게 달려 있습니다. "우리는 하나님께서 복음을 맡기라고 승인한 사람으로 말합니다."\n1 테살로니아서 2.4"그러나 내가 복음을 전할 때 자랑할 수 없습니다. 복음을 전하지 않으면 나에게 화가 납니다! 자발적으로 설교하지 않으면 나에게 보상이 있습니다; 자발적으로 하지 않으면 나는 보상이 있습니다; 자발적으로 하지 않더라도 나에게 주어진 신뢰를 단지 방출하는 것입니다."\n1 고린도서 9.16,17"나는 지혜로운 자와 어리석은 자 모두 그리스인과 비그리스인 모두에게 의무가 있습니다. 그래서 나는 로마에 계신 여러분에게도 복음을 전하고 싶습니다." 로마서 1.14,152. 우리의 메시지 내용: 우리는 우리의 아이디어를 발명한 것이 아니라 하나님의 위임하신 말씀입니다. "영광스러운 복음"\n\n\n티모시 1\n\n\n\n\n\"티모티, 당신의 보살핌에 맡겨진 것을 지켜라." 1 티모시 6.20 "당신에게 맡겨진 좋은 예금을 지키라--우리 안에 사는 성령의 도움으로 지키라." 2 티모시 1.14 "우리는 비밀스럽고 부끄러운 방법을 포기하였습니다; 우리는 속임수를 사용하지 않으며, 하나님의 말씀을 왜곡하지 않습니다... 진실을 명백히 밝히라." 2 고린도 4.2 "당신의 종들이 매우 대담하게 말씀할 수 있게 하라." 4.29 "비밀스러운 것들은 우리 하나님 주님께 속하지만, 드러난 것들은 우리와 우리의 자녀들에게 영원히 속하며, 우리는 이 법의 모든 말씀을 따를 것이다." 신명기 29.293. 우리의 메시지의 적용: 집주인인 하나님이 그의 창고(그의 말씀)에 들어가는 것을 결정합니다. 관리자는 적절한 사람들에게 적절한 양으로 적절한 시기에 그것을 꺼낼 책임이 있습니다. 5"그렇다면 주인이 그의 종들에게 적절한 시간에 식량 수당을 주기 위해 맡긴 충실하고 현명한 관리자는 누구인가요?" 누가 그의 종들에게 적절한 시기에 식량 수당을 지급할 책임이 있습니까?" 누가복음 12장 42절

"말씀을 설파하라; 계절과 계절에 따라 준비하라; 큰 인내와 신중한 가르침으로 올바르고 질책하며 격려하라." 2 디모데 4.2 "하나님께서 나에게 하나님의 말씀을 충만하게 너희에게 제시하라고 하신 분" 거상들 1.25 "하나님의 모든 뜻을 너희에게 선포하는 것을 주저하지 아니하였노라." 20.27 "모든 성경은 하나님의 숨결로 이루어져 있으며, 하나님의 사람이 모든 선한 일에 철저히 대비할 수 있도록 가르치고, 꾸짖고, 교정하고 훈련하는 데 유용하다." 2 디모데 3.16,174. 설교자의 권위의 본질: "성경이 말한다..." - "우리가 주님을 말한다" - 하나님을 직접 대변하는 사도가 아니다 - "내가 너희에게 말한다"라고 말하는 하나님의 아들이 아니다 "이스라엘의 말씀에 떨었던 모든 사람들이 내 주위에 모였다... 우리 하나님의 명령을 두려워하는 자들" 에스라 9.4, 10.3 주: "이것이 내가 존경하는 사람이다: 겸손하고 영적으로 회개하며, 내 말씀에 떨린다." 이사야 66.2 "이 편지에서 우리의 지시를 따르지 않는 사람이 있다면, 그를 특별히 주목하라. 그가 부끄러워할 수 있도록 그와 연관시키지 말라. 그러나 그를 적으로 여기지 말고 형제로 경고하라." 2 테살로니아 3.14,15 권위는 성경 본문을 신중하게 다루는 정확성과 연결되어 있다. 가정은 가사주가 공급하는 음식으로 먹여 살리며, 가사주가 그것을 버리는 관리자가 아니다. 우리의 목소리를 통해 하나님의 목소리를 듣기를 바랍니다. 5. 설교자의 훈육: "주님의 모든 광대한 자원을 관리하라; 말씀을 잘 알고 있다. 부끄러워할 필요가 없고 진실의 말씀을 올바르게 다루는 일꾼으로서 하나님께 자신을 보여드리기 위해 최선을 다하라." 2.15 사도: "우리는 기도와 말씀의 사역에 주의를 기울이겠다." 사도행전 6.4 "에스라가 주님의 율법을 연구하고 준수하며 이스라엘에서 그 율법과 율법을 가르치는 데 헌신하셨기 때문입니다." 에스라 7.10 "내가 하는 말씀을 되돌아보세요. 주님께서 이 모든 것에 대한 통찰을 주실 것입니다." 2 티모시 2.76 "따라서 하늘나라에 대해 가르침을 받은 모든 율법 교사는 창고에서 새로운 보물뿐만 아니라 오래된 보물을 가져오는 집의 주인과 같습니다." 마태복음 13.522. 설교자의 선언과 호소문\n\n스튜어드와 헤럴드 1. 스튜어드는 가정에 음식을 공급합니다; 헤럴드는 세상에 메시지를 선포합니다. "가서 하나님의 왕국을 선포하십시오." 누가복음 9.602. 익숙하고 이해하기 쉬운 말씀으로 위대한 사건을 선포합니다; 하나님이 말씀하신 것에 대한 스튜어드; 하나님이 하신 일에 대한 예고입니다. "그것은 우리가 처음부터 들었고, 우리가 눈으로 보았고 손으로 만진 생명의 말씀에 대해 선포합니다. 생명이 나타났습니다; 우리는 그것을 보고 증언하며, 아버지와 함께하고 우리에게 나타난 영원한 생명을 당신에게 선포합니다. 우리는 우리가 보고 들은 것을 당신에게 선포하며, 당신도 우리와 교제할 수 있도록 합니다. 그리고 우리의 교제는 아버지와 함께합니다
그의 아들 예수 그리스도와 함께 이 글을 씁니다. 우리는 우리의 기쁨을 완성하기 위해 이 글을 씁니다. 이것이 우리가 그에게서 들은 메시지입니다: 하나님은 밝으십니다; 그분 안에는 전혀 어둠이 없습니다." 요한복음 1장 1절-5절 3. 스튜어드는 섬길 책임이 있습니다; 헤럴드의 청취자들은 응답할 책임이 있습니다. "과거에 하나님은 그러한 무지를 간과하셨지만, 이제는 모든 백성에게 회개하라고 명령하셨습니다." 17장 304절. 스튜어드와 예고가 중재합니다; 스튜어드는 집주인과 가정 사이에 있으며, 예고는 왕과 신하 사이에 있습니다. "그의 목적은 두 사람 중 한 명의 새로운 사람을 창조하여 평화를 이루고, 이 한 몸으로 두 사람을 십자가를 통해 하나님께 화해시키는 것이었습니다. 그는 멀리 있는 사람들에게 평화를, 가까이 있는 사람들에게 평화를 전하였습니다." 에베소서 2장 15-17절 "하나님께서 이스라엘 백성에게 보내시며, 예수 그리스도를 통해 평화의 좋은 소식을 전하셨습니다." 이집트의 10장 36절 OT 예시: 요셉: 그는 그를 그의 부사령관으로 하여, 사람들이 그 앞에서 외쳤습니다. 창세기 41장 43절 "왕의 명령(히세기야)에, 배달원들은 왕과 신하들의 편지를 가지고 이스라엘과 유다 전역을 돌아다녔습니다.
