CHURCH4U2: Verso del Día - 1a. de Juan 4:17

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 - 1a. de Juan 4:17

Ese amor se manifiesta plenamente entre nosotros para que en el día del juicio comparezcamos con toda confianza, porque en este mundo hemos vivido como vivió Jesús. En el amor no hay temor. — 1a. de Juan 4:17

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

Cuando vivimos con amor como hizo Jesus, podemos tener la misma confianza en la cara de la muerte y ante Dios en el juicio. Nuestra confianza descansa no en nuestros esfuerzos sino en nuestro Salvador. Su amor no solamente nos ha redimido, sino tambien nos ha cambiado. Su amor tampoco es solo un regalo a nosotros sino tambien un regalo por medio de nosotros. Podemos estar confiados porque sabemos que la vida de Jesús esta presente en nosotros hasta que podamos pararnos al lado suyo en la presencia de nuestro Padre.

Mi oración

Santo Padre, gracias por poder amar a los demas. Gracias por la confianza que tu amor me da. Has hecho tanto para salvarme. Gracias por tu gracia llena de amor. En el nombre de Jesús. Amen.
