Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
La oscuridad domina nuestro mundo. Contrariamente a las apariencias, la oscuridad controla mucho de lo que se ve y de lo que se piensa en el mundo. Tanto que cuando alguien vive para Cristo, el resto lo nota. Su lealtad a Jesús y su justicia no se puede ignorar. Entonces ¿qué vamos a hacer con esta luz? ¿La verán los demás? ¿Serán atraídos a nuestro Padre en el cielo quien mandó a su Hijo como nuestro Salvador? O ¿van a rechazar el camino de Cristo porque nuestro andar es solo hablar sin servir? ¡Qué vean la gracia de Dios por medio de nuestras vidas para que lleguen a conocer al Salvador!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Darkness dominates our world, controls much of what is said, and how most people view their reality. So, in a world dominated by darkness, light should stand out. When someone lives for Jesus, people notice. The world cannot ignore the faithfulness of Jesus' disciples or forget their righteousness and gracious influence. The world might hate that influence, try to minimize it, or even directly oppose it. Dear friend, the evil one will try to prevent Jesus' light from being reflected into the world by his disciples! He will try to oppose that light, dim that light, and snuff out that light. Jesus, however, is the Light that cannot be snuffed out (John 1:5).
Will we be Jesus' agents of light in the world of darkness?
How will the world categorize that light?
How are we going to behave toward the hostile world around us that wants to snuff out our light?
Are others going to see our light and be drawn to our Father in Heaven, who sent his Son, Jesus, as the Light of the world?
Or will the world reject the way of Christ because our walk is more talk and less service to the lost world that needs to see obedience to the lifestyle and character of our Savior?
Let's ensure the light we share helps others see God's grace through our lives and then be drawn to our Savior. Let's be Jesus' lights on the hill, seen by all!
Mi oración
Santo y Justo Padre, gracias por salvarme a través de tu gracia. Ayúdame a reflejar tu carácter y gracia en todo lo que hago para que los demás vean en mí la lealtad a Cristo y para que te glorifiquen por el servicio que han visto. En el nombre de Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, thank you for your grace that saved us. Please help us reflect your character and grace in all that we do, so that when people notice us and are aware of our Christian commitment, they will glorify you because of the service they have seen and the light I bring. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
