تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
هل تتخيل الرعاة و هم يعودون للقطيع بعد كل ما رأوه؟ لقد رأوا مجد الله. لقد اختبروا وجود الملائكة. لقد رأوا الملك المنتظر مخلص العالم. و المثير للدهشة انهم رأوا تماما كما قال لهم الملاك. بالاضافة الى كل ذلك يسوع هو استجابة الله لوعده. اختار الله الرعاة الذي لم يذكر اسماءهم و الذي لم يكونوا ذات اهمية بالنسبة لرفقائهم لكى يصبحوا شهود لقصة الخلاص. الله يذكرنا انه ليس المهم من نكون فنحن مهمون بالنسبة لله و اتى يسوع من اجلنا.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Can you imagine the shepherds returning to their flocks after the night they had? They had seen God's glory. They had experienced the presence of angels. They had seen the newborn King, the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. Even more amazing, it was just as they had been told. As amazing as the angel's words of announcement had been, they were gloriously fulfilled. In addition to all that Jesus was at the moment of his birth, he is also the absolute answer to God's greatest promises and the greatest assurance that God keeps his word. Incredibly, God had chosen shepherds, unnamed to us and unimportant to their peers, to be the witnesses and participants in God's glorious story of salvation. It is our Father's way of reminding us that no matter who we are, Jesus came for us because we are important to him!
صلاتي
ايها الرب العظيم استطيع ان اتخيل فقط كيف اختبر الرعاة مجدك. و لكننى اعرف يا الهى الحبيب كم يعنى يسوع بالنسبة لى. اسبحك من اجل حبك لى و نعمتك التى لمست قلبى. اجعلنى بار بروحك القدوس و اقدر كل ما فعلته من اجلى. باسم يسوع الممجد. آمين.
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, I can only imagine what it was like for those shepherds who experienced your glory. However, dear Father, I do know how much Jesus means to me. I praise you for loving me and reaching my heart with your grace. Sanctify me and make me righteous through the work of your Holy Spirit as I seek to live my life in appreciation for all that you have done for me. In Jesus' glorious name. Amen.
