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 - Filipenses 2:14-16

Hagan todas las cosas sin murmuraciones ni discusiones, para que sean irreprensibles y sencillos, hijos de Dios sin tacha en medio de una generación torcida y perversa, en medio de la cual brillen como estrellas en el mundo, sosteniendo firmemente la palabra de vida. — Filipenses 2:14-16

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

Estrellas. Siempre han sido un símbolo de esperanza constante del pueblo de Dios. "Tus descendientes serán más numerosos que las estrellas," dijo Dios a Abraham. "Cuando miro las estrellas, pienso ¿quién es el hombre?" pregunta el Salmista. Los magos del Oriente siguieron una estrella para encontrar a Jesús. Lucas nos recuerda que Jesús es la estrella que nos vino desde el cielo para alumbrar a los que vivían en la oscuridad. Y ahora, nosotros mismos somos estrellas. Las luces de Dios en la oscuridad del universo. Así, hoy debemos de hacer todo lo posible para que nuestra luz refleje la gloria de Dios en un mundo oscuro que nos rodea.

Mi oración

Dios Todopoderoso, la inmensidad de tu universo está más allá de mi entendimiento. Pero te doy gracias por llamarme a un lugar de luz en un mundo oscuro. Prometo reflejar tu luz hoy en las vidas que me rodean. Por el nombre de la brillante estrella oro, Amen.
