Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
¿Cuál era la meta de Pablo para los nuevos Cristianos? Quería que se maduraran en Cristo (Colosenses 1:28-29). Sabía que el Espíritu Santo les ayudaría en este proceso si ellos enfocaban sus corazones en el carácter de Jesús (2 Corintios 3:18). En nuestras vidas diarias, honremos esta meta de Pablo por dejar que Jesús viva en nosotros.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul had a clear goal for new followers of Jesus; he wanted Jesus to be formed in them. He wanted them to become fully mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28-29). He knew the Holy Spirit would help them in this process if they would focus their hearts on Jesus and seek to reflect Jesus' character in their lives (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, as we go through our daily activities, let's honor Paul's goal — let's invite Jesus to come to life in us and bring us to full maturity of his likeness.
Mi oración
Dios Santo y Justo, que la presencia de Jesús crezca en mi actitud, acción y hablar. Que lo mundano disminuya cada día más. En el nombre de mi Salvador y Meta, Jesús, oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, may the presence of Jesus increase in me so I can display more of Jesus in my life. At the same time, dear Father, I want my attitude, behavior, and speech to escape the warped ways of our broken world. May this be true today, but even more, dear Father, may it be more clearly seen each day. In the name of my Savior and goal, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
