Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios lo había prometido repetidas veces. Hombres, mujeres y ángeles lo habían esperado por mucho tiempo. Ahora, en Jesús, sucede. Dios está con nosotros. Jesús es Emanuel. Vivimos en un planeta visitado, tocado por la presencia misma de Dios entre nosotros. Y sucedió tal como habían dicho los profetas de la antigüedad.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God had repeatedly promised his people his presence. During the Wilderness wanderings, he was with them with the cloud during the day, the pillar of fire at night, and in the Holy of Holies above the Ark of the Covenant in the Tabernacle. Men, women, and angels (1 Peter 1:10-12) had long anticipated our receiving God's presence close to us. Then, with Jesus' incarnation, his coming in human flesh, it happened. God came to us in his Son. Jesus is Immanuel — Immanu-El, God with us! We live on the visited planet, touched by the very presence of God the Creator among us, as one of us, who lived, died, and was raised from the dead for us (See John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3; and Colossians 1:15-23 for the declaration of these truths). And it was just as the prophets of old had said.
Mi oración
Señor Dios, mi Padre Celestial, gracias por cumplir con tus promesas, especialmente cuando te costó tanto. Quiero conocerte mejor, Oh Dios, no como un tema de estudio, sino como alguien que encuentro en mi vida diaria. Por favor hazme sentir tu presencia mientras te busco. En el nombre de Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Lord God, my heavenly Father, thank you for keeping your promises, especially when it was so incredibly costly for you to do so in Jesus. You came to us in Jesus, the Son, to reveal yourself to us and show us how to live. I want to know you better, O God, not just as someone I study in Scripture, but as someone I encounter in my daily life. Please make your presence known as I seek you and use the Holy Spirit to transform me and mold me into someone who is truly JESUShaped (2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:28-29)! In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, our Immanuel, we pray. Amen.
