Damascus road experience 다마스커스 길에서의 경험 (사도행전 9:18)

그림설명: Paul on the road to Damascus
그림 저작권: V. Gilbert and Arlisle F. Beers

성경구절

“Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized.” “즉시 사울의 눈에서 비늘 같은 것이 벗어져 다시 보게 된지라 일어나 세례를 받고.”

현대의 어법에서는 다마스커스 길에서의 경험이나 회심은 정치적인 견해가 바뀌거나, 주요 경력이 바뀐다던지 또는 다른 종교로 개종하는 것과 같은 갑자기 바뀌는 주요 이슈들을 뜻합니다.

기원과 적용

사도바울은 로마의 배경에서 태어났습니다. 바울은 오늘날 시리아의 수도인 다마스커스로 가는 길에서 밝은 빛으로 그를 바울에게 보여주셨던 하나님을 만날 때까지는 예수님의 제자들을 핍박하던 바리새인 이였습니다. 그는 바울을 고쳐주시기 위해 하나님으로부터 보내진 제자, 아나니아를 만날 때까지 하나님을 만났을 때 비춰졌던 강한 빛 때문에 3일동안 앞을 볼 수 없었습니다. 그 이후로 바울은 예수님을 따르는 자로 바뀌었습니다.
