Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El precio de la paz es siempre alto. Nuestra paz se compró con el sacrificio enorme de Jesús. Dios aseguró que el precio por nuestra rebelión se pagara, pero no nos obligó a pagarla nosotros, porque sabía que nos era imposible. Dios mismo lo pagó en Jesús.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The cost of peace is always high. Jesus' enormous sacrifice purchased our peace with God. God made sure the price for our rebellion was paid, but he didn't make us pay it because we could never have fulfilled our obligation. Instead, God paid it himself, in Jesus, and asked us to believe this "too-good-to-be-true" gift is true through his grace and our faith in his gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-7).
Mi oración
Padre Amado y Santo, gracias por crear la paz y por traerme de vuelta a ti a un gran costo. Gracias, Señor Jesús, por entregarte voluntariamente a la crueldad horrible de la cruz. Gracias porque no soy tratado como enemigo, sino como oveja extraviada que hay que encontrar. Gracias por adoptarme como tu hijo amado. En el nombre de Jesús ofrezco mi gracias y alabanza. Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy and loving Father, thank you for making peace and bringing me back to you at an enormous cost to yourself, the crucifixion of your Son (Colossians 1:18-19). Thank you, Lord Jesus, for willingly surrendering yourself to the horrible cruelty of the Cross. Thank you for not treating me as your enemy because of my sin (Romans 5:6-11) but as a lost sheep that needed to be found by your grace. Thank you for adopting me as your beloved child. In Jesus' name, I offer my thanks and praise. Amen.
