“though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved” [2 Corinthians 12:15]

“though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved” [2 Corinthians 12:15]

Natural human love expects something in return. But Paul is saying, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor.” (2 Cor. 8:9) And Paul’s idea of service was the same as our Lord’s. He did not care how high the cost was to himself— he would gladly pay it. It was a joyful thing to Paul. The real test of a saint is not one’s willingness to preach the gospel, but one’s willingness to do something like washing the disciples’ feet— that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God. We have reservations about serving God.

But Paul had no conditions or reservations. Paul focused his life on Jesus Christ’s idea of a New Testament saint; that is, not one who merely proclaims the gospel, but one who becomes broken bread and poured-out wine in the hands of Jesus Christ for the sake of others. By Oswald Chambers.

너희를 더 사랑할수록 나는 덜 사랑을 받겠느냐 [고린도후서 12:15]

인간적인 사랑은 대가를 바랍니다. 그러나 바울은. “우리 주 예수 그리스도의 은혜를 너희가 알거니와 부요하신 자로서 너희를 위하여 가난하게 되심은(고후8:9).”라고 말합니다. 곧, 바울의 봉사관은 정확하게 예수님의 것과 같았습니다. 그는 자신의 희생이 아무리 커도 마음을 쓰지 않았습니다. 섬김은 바울에게 기쁨이었습니다. 성도가 진짜인지는 복음을 선포하려는 의지에 있는 것이 아니라 제자들의 발을 씻기는 것 같은 일들을 하고자 하는 의지입니다. 즉 사람들에게는 중요하지 않지만 하나님께서 중요시 여기는 것을 행하는 것입니다. 우리는 계산하는 마음으로 주의 일에 임합니다. 그러나 사도 바울은 그 어떠한 조건이라도 붙인 적이 없습니다. 따라서 그는 단지 복음만을 선포하는 것 뿐만이 아니라 주님의 손에 붙들린 바 되어 다른 영혼들을 위하여 떼어진 떡이 되고 부어지는 포도주가 되었던 것입니다. 챔버스 묵상 중에서.
