Pensamento:
Jesus pronunciou esta verdade, reconhecendo que Deus estava chamando-o para dar a sua vida para que seus seguidores pudessem estar com ele na gloria. Um sacrifício nunca e fácil, mas apesar da falta de coragem e fidelidade dos seus discípulos durante suas ultimas horas, Jesus realmente acreditou que seu sacrifício os inspiraria e depois levá-los a compartilhar sua graça e gloria com muitos outros. (Deve ser o mesmo para nos!) O próprio fato que estamos pensando sobre Jesus hoje e prova que ele estava certo sobre seu impacto poderoso sobre eles e outros que vieram depois.
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!
Oração:
Obrigado, Senhor Jesus, por tudo que o Senhor fez para me resgatar do pecado e morte. Obrigado por ser uma pessoa de compaixão e caráter. Obrigado por amar seus seguidores mesmo depois que eles Te abandonaram. Obrigado por ter sofrido na cruz e morrer por mim. Anseio vê-lo quando o Senhor voltar com gloria na companhia dos anjos. A Ti seja toda a honra, gloria, poder, amor e louvor. Amem. || http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_joao12_24.html
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.
