Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Aunque hablamos a veces de Jesús como nuestro Señor y Salvador, también nos es fácil no escuchar a su voz. Hagamos un compromiso para leer los cuatro evangelios (Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan) antes que termine el año. Mientras leemos, ¿por qué no hacerlo buscando el corazón de Jesús pidiéndole a Dios que nos ayude a conocerlo mejor?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we often talk about Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can also find it easy to ignore his voice, or worse, hear Jesus' words and ignore them. Our obedience to what Jesus says demonstrates that we have put our faith in him. To foolishly disobey, ignore, or neglect to do what Jesus says is to show that we don't believe him to be our Lord to DO what he says to us as our Lord! Jesus promised a very rude awakening at judgment for those who take this attitude (Matthew 7:21-27). So, let's commit to reading through each of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) before the end of the year. As we read about Jesus' life and teachings, let's do it as a search for the heart of Jesus and ask God to help us know him better and follow him more thoroughly and more obediently as the Holy Spirit conforms us to be more like him (2 Corinthians 3:18)!
Mi oración
Quédate conmigo, Amado Padre, mientras busco conocer mejor a Jesús obedeciendo sus palabras con más fidelidad al leer a tus Escrituras que son sus historias. En su nombre, Jesús, el Hijo de Dios e Hijo del Hombre, oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Be with me, dear Father, as I seek to know Jesus better and obey his words more faithfully as I read your holy Scriptures, which find their center in him. So, I pray for obedience in my daily life in the name of my Lord, Jesus, the Son of God, the Son of Man, and my Savior. Amen.
