Размышление над стихом дня
Для Иоанна Крестителя, эта основная формула успеха не заняла много слов. Какая твоя формула? Павел написал галатам, что им нужна подобная формула (Галатам 4:19). Он написал колоссянам, что он использует все усилия, чтобы « представить всякого человека совершенным во Христе Иисусе» (Колоссянам 1:28-29). Павел написал также коринфянам, что это то, что Дух Святой делает в их жизни (2 Коринфянам 3:18). Поэтому, не кажется ли тебе, что это может быть настоящая формула для твоей жизни?
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!
Моя молитва
Дорогой Отец Небесный, пускай в моем сердце и моей жизни Иисус будет расти, а я буду умаляться. Во имя Иисуса Христа прошу это. Аминь.
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.
