Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
A cambio de los maestros de su día, no le fue necesario a Jesús buscar citaciones obscuras de maestros de la antiguidad. Jesús, Palabra de Dios, habló las meras palabras de Dios. Hizo y dijo lo que su Padre le mandaba. Su vida y palabras tenian el caracter de autenticidad y un conocimiento de poder que sigue por todas las edades llamandonos a la verdad. Este Jesús, nuestro Maestro y Señor, es distinto. Sus palabras tienen poder. Sus enseñanza son verdad. ¡Por eso, su voluntad tiene que ser nuestra pasión!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Unlike the teachers of his day, Jesus didn't have to shore up his teaching with obscure quotes from past teachers and well-known rabbis. Jesus, the very Word of God (John 1:1-18), spoke the words of God. He did and said what the Father willed. His life and his words had the ring of authenticity. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) want to spark an awareness in us of Jesus' power and authority so that through the ages, they still invite us to embrace his truth and follow him as our Lord. This Jesus, our Teacher and Savior, is so much more than another great teacher, extraordinary prophet, or wise sage. His words are powerful. His teachings are authoritative. His life is breathtaking. His love is beyond compare. So, dear friend of Jesus, his will must be our passion!
Mi oración
Santo Dios, gracias por hablar por Tus profetas y Tus escrituras. Sin embargo, Padre, Te alabo por hablar Tu mensaje maximo en Jesús. Cuando veo su caracter quiero acercarme a Tí. Cuando escucho la autenticidad de sus palabras, busco con humildad obedecer. Gracias por mandar a Jesús como mi Maestro, mi Guia, mi Señor y Mi Salvador. Es en su nombre, Jesús, que oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy God, thank you for speaking through your prophets and the holy Scriptures. But, dear Father, I praise you for speaking your most complete and perfect message in Jesus. As I see the character of his life, I am drawn to you. As I hear the authenticity in his words and see them demonstrated in his sacrificial life, I seek to obey him and follow him as his disciple. Thank you for sending Jesus to be my teacher, my guide, my Lord, and my Savior. I pray this in his name, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God. Amen.
