Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
“Jesús es el Señor” Eso no significa solamente que debemos inclinarnos ante Él y su voluntad, y confiar en su gracia. “Jesús es el Señor” significa que todo lo creado es suyo. Todos los ángeles, demonios y espíritus están por debajo de Él y su propósito es servirle. Aunque los demonios han escogido no honrarlo y servirle, eso no cambia lo que debería se propósito o que Jesús está por arriba de ellos, demostrado con su muerte y resurrección. Significa que el universo, con su inmensidad y gloria, fue hecho por Él para declarar su gloria. Como Dios nos dio su imagen y semejanza para saber y ver, Él es nuestro rey, señor y salvador. Si su nuestras vidas están en sus manos, y nuestros corazones inclinados a su voluntad, entonces nada ni nadie puede detener su victoria en nosotros y para nosotros.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Jesus is Lord!" This means everything in all creation ranks below Jesus in authority and power. Every angel, demon, and spirit is subservient to Jesus. Their purpose, and the purpose of all creation, is to honor and serve Jesus. Even though demons have chosen not to honor and serve Jesus as Lord now, their rebellion does not change their purpose or alter the truth of Jesus' triumph over them. He showed his superiority over them through his crucifixion and resurrection (Colossians 2:12-15). With its vast expanse and magnificence, the universe was made by Jesus to declare his supremacy. When Jesus returns in glory, "every knee [will] bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11).
Saying "Jesus is Lord!" doesn't necessarily mean that we have yielded our lives to his will and trusted in his grace, but it does mean we should recognize this truth and yield our lives in obedience before he returns in glory (Matthew 7:21-23). As God's image in human flesh, Jesus is Immanuel, God's presence among us as our King, Lord, and Savior (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3). When our lives and hearts are yielded to his will, then no one and nothing can prevent his ultimate victory for us from becoming God's ultimate reality for us!
