Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El poder de la cruz se demuestra en las vidas de estos dos hombres quienes no se mostraron como discípulos durante el ministerio de Jesús. Ahora en el momento de la muerte de Jesús se aseguran que reciba un entierro digno. En lograrlo se hacen inmundos para la Pascua comprobando así su lealtad al Señor en el momento más difícil. La cruz los toco como nada podría, tal como nos ha tocado a todos nosotros.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The power of Jesus' Cross was demonstrated in the lives of two men, Joseph, the rich man from Arimathea, and Nicodemus, the great teacher of Israel. Neither showed himself fully to be a disciple of Jesus in his earthly ministry. The Cross touched them when nothing else could, just like it has touched us! After Jesus' death, these two personally ensure Jesus is given a proper burial, thus making themselves unclean for the Passover week and proving themselves loyal to the Lord at the worst time for them to do so.
Mi oración
Padre Santo, sé que la cruz es un símbolo cruel. Sin embargo, para mi es tan preciosa como cruel, bella como fea. Por la cruz, me has salvado del pecado demostrando cuanto me amas. ¡Gracias! Utiliza mi vida para glorificarte a ti y a tu don tan increíble en el calvario. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Righteous Father, I know the Cross was a brutal symbol of being cursed. Yet to me, it is as precious as it is brutal and as beautiful as it was hideous. Through the Cross, you saved me from my sin and showed how much you loved me. Thank you! Please use my life in some small way to glorify you and your indescribable gift at Calvary. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
