اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
براى عيسي، مهربانى + دليرى و عزم راسخ + بخشيدن يا دادن+تحمل سختيها = جلال. اين يكى از آن تناسبات رياضى است كه از نقطه نظر انسانى بيمعناست، اما از ديدگاه ايمان، حكمتى تواناست. عيسى به دنياى ما آمد بخاطر اينكه خدا مهربان است. عيسى "شهامت" داشت كه آسمان را پشت سر بگذارد و با سختيهاى انسانيت روبرو شود، و از خود بگذرد تا ديگران را خدمت كند. عيسى آن قدرت را داشت تا متحمل ترسها و تحقير صليب بشود. از اينرو، خدا جلالش را باعيسى قسمت كرد و او را مافوق همه قرار داد.پولس رسول ميخواهد بما يادآورى كند كه خدا، فداكاريها، أطاعت، و ناملايمات ما را از ياد نميبرد. او آنها را با خشنودى و با جلال حرمت ميدارد، زيرا جانبازى عيسى، ما را تقديس نموده است!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
For Jesus, the formula for saving grace was tough!
graciousness + faithfulness + sacrifice + suffering = True Glory
Yes, salvation's math doesn't make much human sense in our selfish, self-promoting world. However, from the perspective of faith, salvation's math is powerful wisdom. Jesus came to our world because of God's graciousness. Jesus was faithful and left heaven to face the hardships of humanity. The Lord was willing to sacrifice himself to serve all humanity, even though it required his suffering and humiliation on the cross. Because he faithfully lived salvation's math, the Father crowned the Son with all glory and honor, which has been rightfully his since before creation. The apostle Paul reminds us in this passage (Philippians 2:5-11) that God doesn't forget our sacrifices, hardships, persecutions, or service. He honors them with his pleasure and glory because people who choose this way walk the path of their Lord, Jesus, as they live with others.
دعای من
خداوند خدا و اى پدر قدوس، من ايمان دارم كه عيسى پسر تو و منجى و خداوند من است. من قلبم را بتو تسليم ميكنم تا هيچگونه تمايل شريرانه اى نسبت به خداوندى او در من نباشد. سپاسگزارم براى هديه عالى فيض تو در او. در نام عيسى. آمين
My Prayer...
Holy Father and Lord God, I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, my Savior and Lord. I surrender my heart and want to have no rival to the lordship of your Son in my life. I want to serve and bless his disciples as he served and blessed me. I want to live my life passionately, as I seek to reach the lost people of my world. Continue to mold my heart and mind to be more like Jesus. I pray this to honor him in thought, word, and deed. Amen.
