تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
على عكس المعلمين فى أيامه، لم يكن يسوع مضطرا ان يدعم تعاليمه باقتباسات غامضة من معلمين سابقين. لان يسوع كلمة الله تحدث بكلام الله. لقد فعل وقال ما اراده الآب. و لقد كان لحياته وكلماته الأصالة و القوة التي تمتد عبر العصور والتي تقودنا و تجذبنا إلى حقه. ان يسوع هذا، معلمنا وربنا مختلف كلماته قوية ، و تعاليمه حقيقية. لذلك يجب ان يكون كل هدفنا و رغبتنا هي تطبيق ارادته و تنفيذ وصيته!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Unlike the teachers of his day, Jesus didn't have to shore up his teaching with obscure quotes from past teachers and well-known rabbis. Jesus, the very Word of God (John 1:1-18), spoke the words of God. He did and said what the Father willed. His life and his words had the ring of authenticity. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) want to spark an awareness in us of Jesus' power and authority so that through the ages, they still invite us to embrace his truth and follow him as our Lord. This Jesus, our Teacher and Savior, is so much more than another great teacher, extraordinary prophet, or wise sage. His words are powerful. His teachings are authoritative. His life is breathtaking. His love is beyond compare. So, dear friend of Jesus, his will must be our passion!
صلاتي
إلهنا القدوس، اشكرك على التحدث من خلال رسلك وكتبك المقدسة.و لكني فوق ذلك امجدك علي توصيلك لنا أعظم رسائلك من خلال يسوع. فكلما أرى طبيعة حياته اقترب إليك اكثر . كلما اسمع الأمانة فى كلامه، احاول ان اطيع بكل تواضع. اشكرك على ارسالك يسوع ليكون معلمى، مرشدى، ربى، ومخلصى. في اسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy God, thank you for speaking through your prophets and the holy Scriptures. But, dear Father, I praise you for speaking your most complete and perfect message in Jesus. As I see the character of his life, I am drawn to you. As I hear the authenticity in his words and see them demonstrated in his sacrificial life, I seek to obey him and follow him as his disciple. Thank you for sending Jesus to be my teacher, my guide, my Lord, and my Savior. I pray this in his name, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God. Amen.
