Do not do what I say?

내가 말한 것을 행하지 않느냐

오늘 말씀은 나 자신에게 도전이 되는 말씀이다.

글을 쓰는 나와 말을 하는 나, 행동을 하는 나가 모두 같아야 함을 주지시켜주시는 말씀으로 받아들여서다.

사실 글과 말과 행동, 이 세 가지 모두를 한결같이 일관되게 하기란 굉장히 어려운 일이다. 하지만 이 세가지는 반드시 일치해야 하고, 일치하는 삶을 살도록 노력해야 한다는 것에는 반론의 여지가 없다.

이외에도 오늘 말씀 속에는 '스스로에게는 관대하면서 남에게 엄격하게 대하지 말라'는 말씀과 '늘 마음을 다해 애쓰라'는 말씀도 들어있다.

누가복음 6장 39절~49절 말씀이다.
