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 2:15-16

No amen al mundo ni las cosas que están en el mundo. Si alguno ama al mundo, el amor del Padre no está en él. Porque todo lo que hay en el mundo, la pasión de la carne, la pasión de los ojos y la arrogancia de la vida, no proviene del Padre, sino del mundo. — 1a. de Juan 2:15-16

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

El amor a las cosas materiales, especialmente las que son temporales nos puede meter en muchas problemas. Aún peor, podemos llegar a pensar que nos pueden traer felicidad o llenar los vacíos en nuestros corazones. Pero si colocamos nuestras esperanzas y sueños en nuestro Padre, tenemos seguridad para la eternidad y lo que más precisamos tendremos siempre lo que más necesitamos.

Mi oración

Dame la sabiduría, Dios Santo, para mi vida en ti y en los asuntos que de veras importan. Confieso que mis ojos y mi corazón son muchas veces distraídos por lo llamativo y pasajero. Por Tu Espíritu, Oh Padre, enciende en mi corazón el deseo de Ti. En el nombre precioso de Jesús oro, Amén.
