اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
عيسى كه آسمان را ترك كرد و همانند يك غلام شد به اين خاطر بود كه به آخرين ها توانايى بدهد كه اولين ها باشند، خادمين بزرگترين ها باشند، و كمترين ها بهترين ها باشند. در طى دوره هاى متمادى، افراد مغرور، بدرفتار، و زورگو بسيار راحت، دعوت عيسى را رد كرده اند— حتى اگر چه عيسى جان بأخت و آنها خود را "مهم" ميدانند و نيازى در خود براى داشتن يك نجات دهنده نميبينند. اما آنانيكه خود را فروتن ميسازند، نه تنها او را بعنوان يك منجى، بلكه او را پادشاهى پيروزمند و رفيق خود مي يابند.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus left heaven and made himself a servant. No wonder God could say to him, "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:22). God expressed his delight tp his Son as he lived as an example of a servant (Mark 10:45). He did so to enable the last of this world to be counted as first in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 20:16). Jesus declared that the servant of others is greater than those who are served (Luke 22:25-27). Jesus demonstrated that those often considered the least important in our world are the most important to him (Matthew 25:40, 45). The arrogant, the abusive, and the parading powerful have found it easy to reject the call of Christ for centuries — after all, Jesus died for the sinful and the weak. They consider themselves "important" and feel that they do not need a Savior. However, those who are humble find Jesus to be Savior, Conqueror, King, and Deliverer. The Lord delights in such people and is glad to share his salvation with them. "You are my children," he says to the servants, "you bring me delight!"
دعای من
خادم والا، پادشاه توانمند، تو را ميستايم كه به اين جهان آمدى و به بهايى سنگين خادم ما شدى و بما نشان دادى كه ميتوانيم با تو سلطنت كنيم. من مشتاقانه منتظر آن روزى هستم كه زانوان ديگران به زانوهاى من ملحق شده و در برابر تو، خداوندم زانو زنيم. تا آنروز دعا ميكنم كه مرا براى رساندن بركت به آنانيكه در اين دنياى پر زرق و برق بكار گيرى.حمد و جلال بر خداوند براى فرستادن تو ، خداوندم عيسى. مناجات خود را در نام قدوس عيسى تقديم ميكنم. آمين.
My Prayer...
Precious Servant and Almighty King, Jesus, thank you for serving us at great cost and showing us that the humble will one day reign with you. I look forward to the day every other knee will join mine as I bow before you as my Lord because you were first a servant of all.* Until that day, I pray that you will use me to bless those so often forgotten by our busy and glamour-intoxicated world. In the holy name of Jesus, I offer you my praise and thanks. Amen.
* Philippians 2:6-11.
