Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Unos días atrás, enfatizamos en el hecho que los cristianos quienes murieron físicamente nunca fueron separados de la presencia de Dios. Hoy, Jesús nos desafía a creer algo similar. ¿Crees tú que la parte viviente que se encuentra dentro de ti fue hecha por Dios y no morirá aunque tu cuerpo físico lo haga? Es un pensamiento increíble. Somos eternos, inmortales, ligados a Jesús y su futuro (Colosenses 3:1-4)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
These were Jesus' words to Martha when her brother had died. She still hoped Jesus would intervene and do something about her brother's death. What Jesus says here fits well with something we emphasized several days ago. Christians who die physically are never really separated from their relationship with God's loving presence in Jesus (Romans 8:32-39). Their life is joined with Jesus, and that relationship is not severed by death (Philippians 1:18-23). In today's passage, Jesus challenges us to believe a similar truth: "Whoever lives and believes in me will never die." Do you believe the genuine living part of you made by God in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-16) will never die? Even though your physical body dies, do you believe you are still alive in Jesus? I hope so because this is an incredible thought! We are eternal, immortal, and joined with Jesus. His future is joined with us because of him (Colossians 3:1-4)! So, will we live believing this powerful truth?
Mi oración
Dios Todopoderoso, si creo que por Jesús, nunca moriré. Bendíceme, Amado Padre, para que haga cada momento importar mientras estoy aquí en esta vida. A su vez, Amado Dios, anhelo el día cuando te pueda ver cara a cara. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I do believe that because of Jesus, I will never die, that I am never separated from you because my life and future are joined to Jesus. Please bless me, dear Father, so that I can make every minute count while I am here in this life. At the same time, dear God, I look forward to seeing you face to face. In the meantime, please help me live by faith and not fear. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
