Размышление над стихом дня
Бог неоднократно обещал это. Мужчины, женщины и ангелы долго ожидали этого. А теперь в Иисусе это произошло. С нами Бог. Иисус – Эммануил. Мы живем на планете, испытавшей прикосновение присутствия Бога, Который пребывает среди нас. И это произошло в точности, как в прежние времена предрекали пророки.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God had repeatedly promised his people his presence. During the Wilderness wanderings, he was with them with the cloud during the day, the pillar of fire at night, and in the Holy of Holies above the Ark of the Covenant in the Tabernacle. Men, women, and angels (1 Peter 1:10-12) had long anticipated our receiving God's presence close to us. Then, with Jesus' incarnation, his coming in human flesh, it happened. God came to us in his Son. Jesus is Immanuel — Immanu-El, God with us! We live on the visited planet, touched by the very presence of God the Creator among us, as one of us, who lived, died, and was raised from the dead for us (See John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3; and Colossians 1:15-23 for the declaration of these truths). And it was just as the prophets of old had said.
Моя молитва
ГОСПОДЬ Бог, мой небесный Отец, благодарю Тебя за исполнение Твоих обещаний, особенно когда Тебе это очень дорого обошлось. Я хочу знать Тебя лучше, о, Боже, не просто как объект изучения, но как Личность, с которой я встречаюсь в повседневной жизни. Пожалуйста, открой свое присутствие, когда я ищу Тебя. Во имя Иисуса я молю. Аминь.
My Prayer...
Lord God, my heavenly Father, thank you for keeping your promises, especially when it was so incredibly costly for you to do so in Jesus. You came to us in Jesus, the Son, to reveal yourself to us and show us how to live. I want to know you better, O God, not just as someone I study in Scripture, but as someone I encounter in my daily life. Please make your presence known as I seek you and use the Holy Spirit to transform me and mold me into someone who is truly JESUShaped (2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:28-29)! In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, our Immanuel, we pray. Amen.
