Pensamento:
Uma coisa que os Evangelhos (Mateus, Marcos, Lucas e João) deixam claro, é que a morte de Jesus na cruz não foi um acidente. Jesus sabia que esse desafio O esperava em Jerusalém, e Ele foi para Jerusalém para nos resgatar do mesmo destino. Que possamos encarar nossos desafios com a fé que Deus nos guiará para a vitória, superando a nossa dor!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One thing the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) make clear: Jesus' death on the cross was no accident — it was no tragedy outside the will of God. Jesus knew the challenge that awaited him in Jerusalem, and he walked into his horrific challenge to deliver us from the same fate he suffered. His trust in the Father's "third day solution" opened the doorway for God to secure victory for Jesus and all of us who build our futures through our faith in him (Colossians 2:12-15, 3:1-4).
The question for us is straightforward: Will we face our challenges with a faith that the Father's "third day solution" assures us of our triumph in the face of our mortality?
Oração:
Santo Deus e Pai Amoroso, obrigado por seu plano de cobrir meus pecados com a Sua graça, através da morte do Seu Filho. Que eu possa viver hoje, ciente do sacrifício dEle e confiante da vitória dEle sobre o pecado e a morte, para que a minha vida possa refletir a sua vitória. No nome do meu precioso Salvador, Jesus. Amém. || http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_mateus20_17-19.html Veja outra reflexão sobre esta passagem em www.hermeneutica.com/jd/1/1228.html
My Prayer...
Holy God and Loving Father, thank you for your plan to cover my sin with your grace by the death of your Son. Thank you, Jesus, for assuring me of my victory over sin, death, hell, and the evil one through your "third day" solution! May I live today aware of Jesus' sacrifice and confident of his "third day" victory for me. May my life reflect that coming victory in the way I live each day. In the name of Jesus, my sacrificial and conquering Savior, I pray. Amen.
