예수 연구서 - 예수님의 '에고 에이미'를 어떻게 설교할 것인가

소개

예수님의 '에고 에이미'(ἐγώ εἰμι, 나는 ~이다) 선언을 어떻게 설교할 것인가? 본 연구 보고서는 요한복음의 '에고 에이미'가 출애굽기 3:14과 이사야서의 '아니 후'(אֲנִי־הוּא) 선언에 뿌리를 둔 심오한 신학적 자기 계시임을 분석합니다. 예수님의 절대적·서술적 용법을 강해하고, 유대 랍비 문헌 및 초대교회 교부들의 해석과 비교하여 그 독창성을 밝힙니다. 이 깊이 있는 연구를 바탕으로, 구약의 배경을 신약의 성취와 연결하는 효과적인 설교 구조, 예화, 구체적인 적용점까지 제시합니다. 예수 그리스도의 신성을 깊이 이해하고 능력 있게 선포하기 원하는 설교자, 신학생, 그리고 모든 성도를 위한 전문적인 가이드입니다.

요한복음에 나타난 예수님의 자기 계시, ‘에고 에이미’

A. 요한복음의 기독론적 특징과 ‘에고 에이미’의 중요성

요한복음은 공관복음서(마태, 마가, 누가복음)와 구별되는 독특한 신학적 관점을 제시한다. 공관복음서가 예수님의 사역과 가르침, 즉 예수님께서 ‘무엇을 하셨는가’에 비중을 둔다면, 요한복음은 예수님께서 ‘누구신가’라는 정체성의 문제에 깊이 천착한다. 요한복음은 서문에서부터 예수님을 태초부터 하나님과 함께 계셨고, 곧 하나님이신 ‘말씀’(λοˊγος)으로 선포하며 그분의 신성을 명확히 밝힌다. 이러한 높은 기독론적 관점은 복음서 전체를 관통하는 핵심 주제이며, 독자들로 하여금 예수를 그리스도요 하나님의 아들로 믿어 영원한 생명을 얻게 하려는 저자의 목적(요 20:31)을 분명히 드러낸다.
이러한 신학적 틀 안에서 예수님의 ‘에고 에이미’(ἐγωˊ εἰμι) 선언은 그분의 신적 정체성과 구원 사역을 가장 직접적이고 강력하게 계시하는 핵심적인 장치다. 헬라어 ‘에고 에이미’는 문자적으로 ‘내가 ~이다’(I am)라는 평범한 표현이지만, 요한복음에서 예수님께서 사용하실 때에는 단순한 자기소개를 넘어서는 깊은 신학적 함의를 지닌다. 이 선언들은 예수님께서 구약성경에서 하나님만이 자신을 계시할 때 사용하셨던 신적 언어를 의도적으로 사용하심으로써, 자신이 바로 그 하나님과 동등한 본질을 지닌 존재임을 드러내는 역할을 한다. 따라서 요한복음의 ‘에고 에이미’를 올바로 이해하고 설교하는 것은 요한복음의 기독론의 정수를 선포하는 것과 같다.
