Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Jesús fue muchas veces criticado por asociarse con personas no aprobadas por los religiosos. Tuvo un motivo. Ho lo hizo para ser popular, raro o de moda. Jesús vino a redimir a los esclavizados, encontrar a los perdidos, sanar a los heridos y reclamara a los pecadores. ¿Puede el cuerpo de Jesús hacer menos hoy en día y seguir llamándose la iglesia de Cristo?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus' religious adversaries frequently criticized him for deliberately associating with people who were suspect in their eyes. Jesus, however, had a reason for this behavior. He wasn't associating with sinners to be popular, weird, bizarre, or hip. The Lord associated with all kinds of people because he loved all types of people! He came to redeem the enslaved, find the lost, mend the broken, and reclaim the sinner. So, Jesus associated with all sorts of people! As Jesus' bodily presence today in the church, can we strive for anything less than following Jesus' example of seeking to save all people?
Mi oración
Perdóname, Padre, cuando prefiero elegir a mis amigos y evito las oportunidades de servir en tu nombre. Abre mis ojos para así poder ver a los necesitados que me rodean. Utilízame para guiarlos a tu gracia ayudándoles a encontrar una familia en tu gente. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Forgive me, Father, when I choose security in my acquaintances and avoid potentially messy entanglements in my relationships. Change my heart to be different in those ways and be open toward those around me. Please open my eyes to see the lost, the lonely, the forgotten, and the needy. Use me to lead them to your grace and to help them find their family with your people as they turn their lives around to honor you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
