Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Este pasaje acompaña lo que encontramos en I Juan 2:17, "El mundo y sus malos deseos se van acabando, pero el que hace la voluntad de Dios vive para siempre." Nuestro destino y futuro no están limitados a las fronteras de nuestro pequeño planeta azul. Nuestro futuro y esperanza rompen las fronteras de la mortalidad y están atados a nuestra fe en un Salvador resucitado y victorioso quien volverá a llevarnos a su hogar eterno. Esta fe se demuestra en hacer la voluntad de Dios aun cuando la mayoría en nuestra cultura contemporánea elige correr tras lo temporal e intrascendente.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our verse today is the companion passage to 1 John 2:17:
The world and its desires are passing away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
Our destinies and futures are not limited to the boundaries of our temporary existence as mortal passengers on our "tiny blue planet" in the vast enormity of the universe. Our future and our hope burst the boundaries of mortality and are tied to our faith in our resurrected and victorious Savior, who is coming back to bring us to his eternal home. This faith is displayed by doing God's will even when most people in our contemporary culture choose to chase what is fleeting and transient. Why? Because we await a better world, a new heaven and earth where life is free of earthbound limitations and human frailties and sin (Philippians 3:20-21; Hebrews 11:14-16; 2 Peter 3:13). Yet we still yearn for that future world to burst forth in our mortal world and change people to await the Savior with us. We seek to partner with God in doing just that!
