Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Para la mayoría de los que están leyendo este mensaje en internet, esta frase nos puede parecer rara y quizás anticuada. Pero los que estudian de cerca las historias de persecuciones sabrán que los cristianos son quizá los que más han sido perseguidos. Los que vivimos en lugares cómodos, donde el creer es tolerado y donde los cristianos son considerados solo un poco tontos o fuera de honda, debemos dar gracias si recibimos críticas, pues significa que somos reconocidos. A la vez, sin embargo, debemos orar por nuestros hermanos que viven en muchos lados del mundo y que son perseguidos por su fe en Jesús.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
For many of us, the sentiments of this verse feel foreign and upside down to the world we know. However, those who have studied the persecution of Jesus' followers over the centuries remind us that current believers in Christ are enduring perhaps the greatest amount of persecution in the history of Christianity. However, many of us live in places where belief is tolerated. Christians are just considered a bit out of touch with reality and a bit naive, but tolerated. However, with worldliness creeping into God's people from every direction, maybe we should be thankful that Christian living makes us different enough from our cultures to be noticed, even if that notice is a bit unfavorable. At the same time, we need to pray for other believers throughout the world who are undergoing grievous trials, struggles for their faith, suffering, abuse, and martyrdom — these are all happening in many places in our world today. Jesus, however, wants all those who suffer for his sake and the sake of the gospel to know they are noticed, loved, and will be blessed by God when he makes all things right!
Mi oración
Gran Salvador, hay muchos que nombran tu nombre y tienen fe que Jesús que enfrentan persecución todos los días. Oro para que no se desanimen. Oro para que les traigas liberación de su sufrimiento. Oro para que sus sufrimientos sean la fuente de un testimonio poderoso, para que otros vean el valor de Jesús y nuestra lealtad en Él. Esto oro en el nombre precioso y santo de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Great Deliverer, many who have faith in Jesus today face daily persecution, abuse, hardship, trials, and even martyrdom. We pray that they do not lose heart and give up their confident faith. We pray that you will bring deliverance from their times of persecution. We pray that their sufferings will be a powerful witness, so others will come to see the great value of Jesus. We pray this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen.
