اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
اطمينان بسيار در اين آيه كوتاه! خدا بى انصاف نيست—-پسر اين آيه عدالت خدا را دست كم ميگيرد: اگر او براى گناهان ما قربانى و كَفّاره اى در نظر گرفت، اگر ما او را جستجو كنيم، او چه چيزى را از ما دريغ خواهد داشت؟ او خدمت و محبت ما را فراموش نخواهد كرد—كارهاى نيك ما بطور ابدى به ثبت رسيده اند. هنگاميكه ما به خواهران و برادران خود در مسيح كمك ميكنيم، ما او را جلال ميدهيم! ما قوم او هستيم! و اين انگيزه اى راستين است تا ما به بلوغ خود در مسيح ادامه دهيم.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Holy Spirit offers us great assurance in today's verse! God is not unjust. Oh, that is such an understatement: God furnished the atoning sacrifice for our sins by sending Jesus (1 John 2:1-2). When we seek after him, Jesus promised we could find him (Matthew 7:7-8; Acts 17:27). God will not forget the work and love we share with others. God has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:10-12). He chooses to keep an eternal record of the good we have done. We are his people. He claims us. He is gracious and loving, remembering the good we have done to others while forgiving and forgetting our sins. Wow! What great motivation for us to keep maturing into the likeness of Jesus Christ as we become more JESUShaped (2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:28-29).
دعای من
خداوندا تو بسيار مهربان و بخشنده هستى. سپاسگزارم. هنگاميكه چنين جمله ساده و عميقى كه بيانگر فضائل توست ميشنوم، كلمات را ناتوان از بيان شاديم ميبينم. من از اينكه فرزند تو هستم بسيار خوشحالم. بوسيله برادر خود عيسى دعا ميكنم. آمين.
My Prayer...
God, you are so gracious. Thank you. Words cannot express my joy at hearing such a simple and profound statement describing your virtues:
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
I am so glad, dear Father, that I am your child. Through my gracious brother, Jesus, I thank you. Amen.
