Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Tomamos el carácter de Jesús por seguir conectados a Él. La distancia entre el cielo y la tierra no es tanto cuando el cielo vive dentro de nosotros. En Juan 14, Jesús nos recuerda que si lo obedecemos, Él vendrá y vivirá en nosotros, revelándose a nosotros. Mientras lo obedecemos, lo llegaremos a conocer más y más. Su vida se vuelve realidad en nuestro interior.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus was emphatic: we take on his character, live his life, and bear genuine fruit only by remaining intimately connected to him. The distance between heaven and earth shrinks when heaven lives within us as we remain connected to Jesus. Jesus gives us roots. From him comes life. So Jesus promised us that if we obey him, he will come and live in us, be with us, and reveal himself to us (John 14:18, 21, 23). So as we remain in Jesus, we trust in him as our root and supply of life. As we obey him and seek to know him better, his life comes alive in us, and we show ourselves to be his disciples by bearing fruit that reflects and demonstrates our connection and character come from God.
Mi oración
Señor Precioso, quiero obedecer tu palabra, tu voluntad y tu ejemplo. Quiero obedecerte para honrarte, amarte y conocerte. Ayúdame a conocerte más para poder caminar en tus huellas. Ayúdame a llegar a entender lo que significa vivir tu vida. Por el nombre poderoso de Jesús oro y agradezco, Amén.
My Prayer...
Precious Lord, I want to obey your word and your will as I seek you and follow your example, set for me by you, Jesus. I want to obey you, honor you, love you, and know you. I also know that to do that, I must remain connected to and dependent upon Jesus for life. So please, help me come to know you better as I walk more closely in your steps. Lead me to experience what it means to live your life fruitfully in my world as I remain joined to, connected with, and dependent upon Jesus. Because of Jesus' mighty name and his supply of grace and love to me, I pray and thank you, God, for making Jesus my Lord. Amen.
