Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
¡Debemos estar listos para decirle a la gente de la esperanza que Jesús nos ha traído! Cuando compartamos esta esperanza, sin embargo, dos cosas son importantes: nuestra credibilidad (¿es Jesús realmente el Señor de nuestros corazones?) y nuestro respeto hacia los demás. ¡La meta no es ganarle a otro sino ganar corazones para Dios!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Peter, the great apostle, is calling us to be ready and able to tell folks about the hope that Jesus has brought into our lives. This must be an "always readiness" because we don't know when the opportunity to share our hope may come our way. Two things are incredibly important as we share this hope:
- Our Credibility: Is Jesus really Lord of our hearts or not? The reality of our passion, or lack of passion, for Jesus' lordship in our lives will shine through in our daily lives, as well — the way we treat people, the language we use, our hope for the future, and our kindness to those who need grace.
- Our Character: Do we show gentleness and respect in the way we approach and treat others, especially those who question us? The goal is not to win arguments but to win hearts to the grace and goodness of God through our daily lives.
Mi oración
Padre Santo y Amoroso, gracias por hablarnos de tu gracia en Jesús. No estoy seguro si hubiera escuchado cualquier otro mensaje. Dame la convicción que necesito para compartir mi esperanza en Jesús pero de una manera que refleje tu gracias. Por mi Esperanza Viva, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and Loving Father, thank you for speaking your grace into my heart through the gift of Jesus. I'm not sure I would have heard any other message. Please give me the conviction to share my hope in Jesus passionately, yet in ways that reflect your grace, patience, and kindness. Through Jesus, my Living Hope, I pray. Amen.
