Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Romper los obstaculos raciales y culturales nunca es fácil. Gracias a Dios que su Espíritu no nos deja descansar en nuestros prejuicios. Nos desafia, guia y a veces nos empuja para romper el odio racial y ignorancia cultural que nos rodea. Seamos gente quien regocija y alaba a Dios por cada barrera que cae que divide a la gente. Sigamos hasta que la promesa triunfal del Evangelio se cumpla: "Ya no hay ni Judio ni Gentile, ni esclavo ni libre, ni hombre ni mujer." Porque todos son Cristianos--uno en Cristo. (Gálatas 3:28)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Breaking through racial and cultural barriers is never easy, but this was the challenge early church leaders faced when the Holy Spirit led Peter to share the gospel with Cornelius and his household, and they became disciples of Jesus. The Jewish disciples had not anticipated Gentiles to come into Jesus' church. Thankfully, God's Spirit didn't let them settle comfortably into their prejudices. Instead, the Spirit challenged, led, and pushed them to break through racial hatred and cultural ignorance. So must we, today. Let's be the kind of people, Jesus' people, who rejoice and praise God as every racial barrier dividing people fall in Jesus. Let's press on until the triumphant promise of the Gospel is fulfilled: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). In doing this, we anticipate the incredible chorus of heaven as it praises God with folks from every language, tribe, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9-11). God longs to invite all peoples of the earth into his family of grace, love, and life!
Mi oración
Santo Dios, pido que bendice a todos en todas partes quienes estan cruzando las barreras culturas, linguísticas y naciones para compartir la gracia de Jesús a los que no Te conocen y honran a Tu Hijo como Señor. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy God, we ask that you bless all those everywhere who are trying to cross cultural, linguistic, and nationalistic barriers sharing the grace of Jesus with those who do not know you. Help them know they are bringing you joy and anticipating the praise that surrounds you in glory! In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
