Pensamento:
Para João Batista, esta fórmula para grandeza não precisou de muitas palavras. Qual é sua fórmula? Paulo disse aos gálatas que uma fórmula semelhante era necessária para eles (Gálatas 4:19). Ele disse aos colossenses que ele gastou toda a sua energia para que isso acontecesse nas vidas dos cristãos (Colossenses 1:28-29). Paulo disse aos coríntios que o Espírito estava fazendo isso nas suas vidas (2 Coríntios 3:18). Então, não acha que talvez essa seja a fórmula verdadeira para a sua vida?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This ultimate formula for greatness did not take many words for John the Baptist to articulate. What's your formula? Paul told the Galatians that they needed a similar approach to greatness: Christ must be formed in them (Galatians 4:19). He told the Colossians that he expended every ounce of energy God supplied to have them become mature in their complete and perfect in their conformity to Jesus (Colossians 1:28-29). Paul told the Corinthians the Spirit was transforming them to become like Jesus with ever-increasing likeness as they pursued Jesus as Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). Most importantly, Jesus the goal of any of his faithful followers, his disciples, should be to become like him, their Teacher and Lord (Luke 6:40). So, don't you think that maybe this is the essential formula for your life? Jesus must become greater in us as what we selfishly want becomes less!
Oração:
Querido Pai no céu, que Jesus cresça e eu diminua no meu coração e na minha vida. No nome de Jesus eu peço. Amém. || Veja a imagem de hoje! http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_joao3_30.html
My Prayer...
Dear Father in heaven, in my heart, and in my life, may Jesus become more significant and I become less because I know less of me, and more of Jesus living through me will be far more than I could ever be without him! In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
