Pensamento:
A verdade muitas vezes é simples e doce — se Jesus é a nossa vida, então nossas vidas não têm fim. A morte não nos tira a vida, mas leva outros à vida na presença de Jesus.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The truth is often as simple as it is sweet — if Jesus is our life, then our lives have no end. In faith, we shared with Jesus in his saving death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-7) through our baptism as we called on the name of the Lord to save us (Colossians 2:12; Acts 22:15-16). Our lives — our eternal essence and identity — are hidden with Christ and will be fully revealed when we share with Jesus in his eternal glory (Colossians 3:3-4). Death does not strip life from us, but ushers us into life in Jesus' very presence, where no power or event, not even death, can steal us from his grasp (Romans 8:38-39).
Oração:
Eterno Deus, obrigado por enviar Jesus para me mostrar Seu amor e obrigado por enviá-Lo de novo logo para me levar para casa. Ele é minha âncora nas tempestades da vida e minha luz nas noites escuras, lembrando-me que o Senhor me ama com um amor que não morre. No nome de Jesus, a Ressurreição e a Vida, eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_filipenses1_21.html || A próxima conferência nacional do Instituto de Liderança Internacional (ILI) para 2018 será realizado em Recife, Brasil!

My Prayer...
O Eternal God, thank you for sending Jesus to show us your love, and thank you for sending him again in the future. Jesus is our anchor in the storms of life and our light in our darkest nights, reminding us that you love us with an undying love. In the name of Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, and the one in whom we find life that never ends,* we pray. Amen.
* This is based on John 10:25-26 when Jesus said to Martha about her brother Lazarus:
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
