Turn Your Eyes
Stellar VBS
 
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, Jesus
 
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see
There’s light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
 
Turn your eyes
Turn your eyes
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
…
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, Jesus
…
 
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine
(3x)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
 
Everywhere I go,
I’m gonna let it shine
(3x)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
 
Even when I’m afraid,
I’m gonna let it shine
(3x)
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
 
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
 
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
 
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
 
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
 
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
 
With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
 
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
…

1. Today’s discussion topic – God’s comfort. Read the following Scriptures:

----------------------------------------------
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
    and cry to her
that her warfare is ended,
    that her iniquity is pardoned,
that she has received from the Lord's hand
    double for all her sins.
(ISAIAH 40:1-2)
너희 하나님이 가라사대 너희는 위로하라 내 백성을 위로하라 너희는 정다이 예루살렘에 말하며 그것에게 외쳐 고하라 그 복역의 때가 끝났고 그 죄악의 사함을 입었느니라 그 모든 죄를 인하여 여호와의 손에서 배나 받았느니라 할찌니라
----------------------------------------------
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
(2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4)
찬송하리로다 그는 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 하나님이시요 자비의 아버지시요 모든 위로의 하나님이시며 우리의 모든 환난 중에서 우리를 위로하사 우리로 하여금 하나님께 받는 위로로써 모든 환난 중에 있는 자들을 능히 위로하게 하시는 이시로다
----------------------------------------------
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
(PSALM 23:4)
내가 사망의 음침한 골짜기로 다닐찌라도 해를 두려워하지 않을 것은 주께서 나와 함께 하심이라 주의 지팡이와 막대기가 나를 안위하시나이다
----------------------------------------------
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(MATTHEW 11:28-30)
수고하고 무거운 짐진 자들아 다 내게로 오라 내가 너희를 쉬게 하리라 나는 마음이 온유하고 겸손하니 나의 멍에를 메고 내게 배우라 그러면 너희 마음이 쉼을 얻으리니 이는 내 멍에는 쉽고 내 짐은 가벼움이라 하시니라
 
 
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
(MATTHEW 5:4)
애통하는 자는 복이 있나니 저희가 위로를 받을 것임이요
----------------------------------------------
Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.
(PSALM 119:49-50)
주의 종에게 하신 말씀을 기억하소서 주께서 나로 소망이 있게 하셨나이다 이 말씀은 나의 곤란 중에 위로라 주의 말씀이 나를 살리셨음이니이다
----------------------------------------------
 

1. What is the comfort of God according to these Scriptures?
2. How can you receive this comfort from the LORD?
3. How can God’s comfort change the way you pray, ask for prayer, and know God’s answer to prayer?

Life-Praying
Spend a moment with the holy Spirit. Pray for one another.
 
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18)
항상 기뻐하라 쉬지 말고 기도하라 범사에 감사하라 이는 그리스도 예수 안에서 너희를 향하신 하나님의 뜻이니라
 
…do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7)
"아무 것도 염려하지 말고 오직 모든 일에 기도와 간구로, 너희 구할 것을 감사함으로 하나님께 아뢰라" 그리하면 모든 지각에 뛰어난 하나님의 평강이 그리스도 예수 안에서 너희 마음과 생각을 지키시리라
