Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
No hay muchas cosas que la Biblia diga que Jesús "tenía" que hacer. Esta es una cosa clave, Jesús tenía que ser uno de nosotros. Él hizo esto para poder ser igual que sus hermanos (y hermanas) en todo sentido. ¿La razón? para que pudiera ser el perfecto sumo sacerdote que no solo nos alejara del pecado, sino también que se sacrificara por nosotros para liberarnos de él.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
There are very few things the Bible says Jesus "had" to do. Becoming like us is a key he had to do things! Jesus had to be one of us, one with us, and one like us. Notice that Jesus did this so he could be like us in every way. Why is that important? So he could be the perfect and faithful high priest who not only made atonement for our sins, but he could also be someone we could fully trust because we know he understands our struggle with our sinful world. And now that we know this, we can trust Jesus to intercede for us! We can have complete confidence that he knows our struggles with mortality — not just because he is God and knows all things but because he also has been through life in our mortal world with all of its challenges, pains, difficulties, temptations, and hardships and personally experienced them in human flesh (Hebrews 2:14-18, 4:14-16).
