تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
تماما كما رأى الله مأزق شعب اسرائيل فى مصر وسمع صرخاتهم للنجدة، مازال يرى ويسمع اليوم. لكن الآن، هو لا يسمع فقط لأنه قادر على كل شئ؛ لكنه يسمع بسبب شفاعة ابنه مخلصنا، يسوع. يسوع كان هنا. يسوع واجه شبح الموت وألم التعذيب والسخرية. يسوع معناه ان الله لا يستمع لصرخاتنا فقط؛ بل انه يشعر بالمعاناة معنا. لذلك هو آتى. هو ضمانتنا ان الله يشعر، يهتم، يتصرف، ويخلص فى النهاية.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Just as God saw the plight of the Israelites in Egypt and heard their cries, and came down to help them, he still sees and hears our cries today. But now, he not only hears because he is omnipotent; he hears because of the Son, Jesus, at his right hand, interceding for us. Jesus has been where we are. He faced the specter of death, the pain of torture, and the separation of ridicule. Jesus' presence with the Father means that God not only hears our cries for help; he also feels our agony. This is why Jesus came. He is our assurance that God feels, cares, acts, and ultimately saves. Our God sees our trouble and grief and then helps even the most vulnerable and helpless.
صلاتي
يا الله، أبى ومخلصى، ارجوك كن مع هؤلاء الذين يتحملون الثقل الرهيب للمعاناة والألم. بعضهم اعرفهم واصلى من أجلهم خصيصا. والبعض الآخر لا اعرفهم، لكنهم لا يزالوا يحتاجون تعزيتك، قوتك، ونعمتك لتحملهم فى ايامهم الشاقة والحزن. من فضلك باركهم بدليل واضح على اهتمامك. باسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
God, Father, and Savior, please be with those bearing the incredible weight of agony and pain. Some of these I know and pray for personally. Others I do not know, but they still need your comfort, strength, and grace to sustain them in their days of agony and grief. Please bless them with clear evidence of your care. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
