Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Jesús anuncia esta verdad, reconociendo que Dios lo llamaba a dar su vida para que sus seguidores pudieran estar con Él en la gloria. El sacrificio nunca es fácil, sin embargo a pesar de la falta de coraje de parte de sus discípulos en sus últimas horas, Jesús creía que su sacrificio eventualmente iba a crear en ellos mucho más llevándolos a la gloria junto con muchos más. El hecho de que hoy en día seguimos pensando en Jesús es prueba de su certeza en cuanto a su impacto en ellos y los que les seguían.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus announced this truth while recognizing that God had called him to lay down his life so his followers could join him in glory. Sacrifice is never easy, but despite his disciples' lack of courage, wrong-headedness, and faith failures during his last hours, Jesus truly believed that his sacrifice would bring out the best in them. He was confident that his example of sacrifice would lead them to share his grace and glory through sacrificing themselves to bless others. Jesus wants his example to do the same in us! As we honor Jesus' sacrifice today, we realize that we prove he was correct about his powerful impact on his disciples and others who came after them. Jesus offered himself as a seed put into the ground and died, but his death produced many seeds that continue to extend his grace and open their hearts to eternal hope!
Mi oración
Gracias, Señor Jesús por todo lo que hiciste por redimirme del pecado y la muerte. Gracias por dejar el cielo para vivir entre nosotros. Gracias por ser un ser lleno de compasión y carácter. Gracias por amar a los suyos aun cuando te abandonaron. Gracias por aguantar la cruz entrando en la muerte. Anhelo verte cuando vuelvas en la gloria en compañía de tus ángeles. A ti sea todo el honor, gloria, poder, amor y alabanza. Amén.
My Prayer...
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all you did to ransom me from sin and death. Thank you for leaving heaven and living here among us. Thank you for being compassionate and full of holy character as you offered your time and love to all kinds of people. Thank you for loving your own even though they abandoned you. Thank you for enduring the cross and conquering death for me. I look forward to seeing you when you return with glory in the company of the angels as we all get to see the many seeds that came from you. To you be all honor, glory, power, love, and praise forever. Amen.
