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 Corintios 15:19

Si hemos esperado en Cristo para esta vida solamente, somos, de todos los hombres, los más dignos de lástima. — 1a. de Corintios 15:19

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

¡Qué pensamiento tan poderoso y sobrio! Nuestra fe en la resurrección de Jesús y nuestra fe en ser unidos a El, es tan crucial que todo lo demás carece de importancia. Nuestra esperanza en Cristo no es solo para el presente sino es también una esperanza que trasciende la vida y rompe las cadenas de la muerte. Si no nos ofrece esta esperanza, entonces ya no es esperanza. Hemos sido engañados y dignos de lástima. Pero sí creo. Y esto cambia todo!

Mi oración

Padre Dios, el Alfa y la Omega, el Principio y el Fin, creo que su victoria sobre la muerte en la resurrección de Jesús también significa mi victoria sobre la muerte! Creo que Jesús me resucitará de la muerte para compartir vida eterna con El. No puedo describir cuanto anhelo estar contigo cara a cara, Señor, compartiendo tu gloria y alabando tu nombre para siempre. En el nombre de Jesús, te alabo y agradezco, Amén.
