Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Notre message n'est pas nous-mêmes. Jésus est Seigneur. Un jour, toute la création le reconnaîtra et le louera. Mais pour que les gens autour de nous louent Jésus aujourd'hui, ils ont besoin de le voir vivant en nous. Nous servons les autres au nom de Jésus. Nous sommes son corps — ses mains de compassion, son cœur de miséricorde et sa voix de tendresse. Alors élevons Jésus - pas seulement en parlant de lui aux autres, mais en servant les autres comme sa présence dans le monde.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our message is not about ourselves or to exalt ourselves. Jesus is Lord. One day, all of creation will acknowledge and praise him. For the people around us to praise Jesus today, they must see him alive in us. This means serving others in Jesus' name with Jesus' righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful lovingkindness. We, his people and his church, are his bodily presence today. We must be his hands of compassion, his heart of mercy, and his voice of tenderness as we live in holiness and honor. So, let's exalt Jesus — not just by telling others about him but also serving others as his presence in their world.
Ma Prière...
Dieu de grâce, merci pour le privilège de partager ton amour avec les autres. Merci de m'avoir sauvé de mon péché. Merci de m'avoir sauvé POUR le service afin de bénir les autres pour l'amour de Jésus. Au nom de Jésus, mon Sauveur, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
God of grace, thank you for the privilege of sharing your love with others by living for Jesus and as Jesus' presence in our world. Thank you for saving us FROM our sins and the consequences of living without your guidance in our lives. We know you also saved us FOR service that blesses others as Jesus. We pray we can do this with gentleness and respect in the name of Jesus, our Savior, example, and Lord. Amen.
