Daily Sermon ILLustration-Can’t Get Rid of the Holes

Can’t Get Rid of the Holes Someone tells the story of a boy who was rebelling against his dad constantly. This boy was destroying his own life by his rebellion, but he refuse to heed his father’s words. One day, the dad said to the boy, "I want to show you what you’re doing to your life. I’m going to put a wooden post in our front yard. Every time you rebel, I will put a nail in this post. Every time you obey, I will pull out one nail." The first thought from the boy was, "I’m going to do everything I can to fill that post with nails." And he did. In two months’ time, he filled that post with nails. But he also began to feel the damage he was doing to his own life and to his parents’ lives. With true remorse, the boy began to obey his father. One by one, the nails came out. When the last nail came out of the post, the boy both broke down in tears. The dad asked, "Son, why are you crying?" And the boy replied, "I got rid of the nails, but I can’t get rid of the holes." God the Father saw the nails and the posts of our lives, and He saw our helplessness against sin. So He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to gather the nails and the posts from those who would let Him. And because of His love for us, Christ allowed Himself to be nailed on the posts, where He willingly paid the consequence of our sin. Romans 6:23 tells us, "For the [consequences] of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." And this gift comes with God’s Spirit to train us to live holy lives. =(Church Iglesia) Added a new video to Church4u2TV "The Father's Song" http://WorldTV.com/Church4u2TV/?vid=3

Verso del Día - Salmo 100:4

Entren por sus puertas con acción de gracias; vengan a sus atrios con himnos de alabanza; denle gracias, alaben sus nombre. — Salmo 100:4

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

Obviamente, esta exhortación nos viene desde los dias cuando existía el templo físico de Dios en Jerusalén. Recordemos que para nosotros, el pueblo de Dios del nuevo convenio, el templo de Dios es la iglesia (I Corintios 3:16) y nuestros propios cuerpos (I Corintios 6:19). Debemos de valorar y celebrar con gozo nuestra familia que es la iglesia. ¡Glorifiquemos a Dios con nuestros cuerpos! Ofrezcamos gracias y alabanza al nombre de Dios en público, en privado y en la comunidad.

Mi oración

Padre, entro en el lugar santísimo, acercándome a Tí por el sacrificio de Jesús. Me conmueve el saber que me escuchas. Me llena de gozo el saber que me das entrada. Me hace feliz estar contigo y hacerte saber cuanto aprecio todo lo que has hecho por mi. Gracias por encontrarme en este lugar de oración hasta que pueda irme a estar en tu presencia y encontrarme cara a cara. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
