Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Los enemigos de Jesús habian tratado repetidas veces de hallarlo. Sin embargo, el Evangelio de Juan nos recuerda vez tras vez que nadie era capaz de hallar a Jesús hasta que el mismo se entregara. Jesús sigió al plan de Dios tal como obedecia a la voluntad de su Padre, con gran cuidado. Por eso, podemos estar asegurados que cuando murió Jesús, lo hizo para redimirnos no porque era incapaz de defenderse. La muerte de Jesús es un sacrificio voluntario, un triunfo de obediencia a la voluntad de su Padre sobre su propia voluntad de protegerse. ¡Obedeció y somos salvos! Se ofreció a si mismo como un sacrificio para que pudieramos ser adoptados en la familia del Padre.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The enemies of Jesus tried repeatedly to seize him. Yet the Gospel of John reminds us again and again that no one could seize Jesus until he offered himself to them at the right time according to God's plan. Jesus followed God's timetable just as carefully as he obeyed his Father's will. So, we can know with absolute assurance that when Jesus died, he did so to redeem us and obey his Father's will. The Lord did not die because he was powerless to defend himself. Jesus' death was voluntary, a sacrifice, a triumph of his obedience to his Father's will over his own will for preservation. Yes, wicked people were responsible, but his death was also the plan of God to redeem us! Jesus obeyed, and we are saved! He offered himself as a sacrifice at the right time, God's time, so we could be adopted into the Father's family and be freed of our bondage to sin, death, hell, and the evil one!
