본문의 중심내용

아버지의 믿음이 죽은 딸을 살리고, 혈루병 걸린 여인의 믿음이 그를 딸로 부름받게 합니다. 두 딸 모두 ‘예수님께만 닿아도 낫겠다’라는 믿음으로 회복되었습니다. 

[ 마태복음 9:14 - 9:26 ] (찬송545장)

14그 때에 요한의 제자들이 예수께 나아와 이르되 우리와 바리새인들은 금식하는데 어찌하여 당신의 제자들은 금식하지 아니하나이까 15예수께서 그들에게 이르시되 혼인집 손님들이 신랑과 함께 있을 동안에 슬퍼할 수 있느냐 그러나 신랑을 빼앗길 날이 이르리니 그 때에는 금식할 것이니라 16생베 조각을 낡은 옷에 붙이는 자가 없나니 이는 기운 것이 그 옷을 당기어 해어짐이 더하게 됨이요 17새 포도주를 낡은 가죽 부대에 넣지 아니하나니 그렇게 하면 부대가 터져 포도주도 쏟아지고 부대도 버리게 됨이라 새 포도주는 새 부대에 넣어야 둘이 다 보전되느니라

 18예수께서 이 말씀을 하실 때에 한 관리가 와서 절하며 이르되 내 딸이 방금 죽었사오나 오셔서 그 몸에 손을 얹어 주소서 그러면 살아나겠나이다 하니 19예수께서 일어나 따라가시매 제자들도 가더니

 20열두 해 동안이나 혈루증으로 앓는 여자가 예수의 뒤로 와서 그 겉옷 가를 만지니 21이는 제 마음에 그 겉옷만 만져도 구원을 받겠다 함이라 22예수께서 돌이켜 그를 보시며 이르시되 딸아 안심하라 네 믿음이 너를 구원하였다 하시니 여자가 그 즉시 구원을 받으니라

 23예수께서 그 관리의 집에 가사 피리 부는 자들과 떠드는 무리를 보시고 24이르시되 물러가라 이 소녀가 죽은 것이 아니라 잔다 하시니 그들이 비웃더라 25무리를 내보낸 후에 예수께서 들어가사 소녀의 손을 잡으시매 일어나는지라 26그 소문이 그 온 땅에 퍼지더라

[ Matthew 9:14 - 9:26 ]

14Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”15 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”18 While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment,21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,24 he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him.25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.26 And the report of this went through all that district.

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

Jesus manifested the kingdom of God that the Israelites had longed and fasted for. He explained that people of heaven needed to follow Jesus’ new commandments (‘new wineskins’) rather than the old Law of Israel. The act of fasting would be revived by the disciples who followed the path of the cross after the death of Jesus (vv. 14-17). According to the Law, women who suffered from a discharge of blood and anyone who came into contact with them were unclean (Jer. 15:19-24), but one woman was healed of her illness by touching Jesus. Jesus also brought a dead girl back to life. Even death could not interfere with Jesus’ compassion (vv. 18-26). 

Who is Jesus?

Vv. 18-25 There is no obstacle that Jesus cannot penetrate with his compassion, and no tragedy that he cannot restore. What kind of crisis are you facing? Reach out to Jesus with a hand of faith. Do you feel too weak to even stretch your hand? Then, Jesus will reach out to you to take your hand. Jesus’ compassion is boundless and unrestrained. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 14- 15 We are people awaiting the reserved day of joy. The kingdom of joy that Jesus revealed to us while he was on earth will be fulfilled on the day of Jesus’ return. Until that day, we must mourn (5:4) and practice a life of fasting for the sake of correcting the wrongs of this world (Is. 58:6-7). 

Prayer

Lord, help me to live as a person who preaches the hope of heaven to those who despair.
