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 144:4

El hombre es semejante a un soplo; sus días son como una sombra que pasa. — Salmo 144:4

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

El tiempo es precioso: tiempo con nuestras familias, nuestros hijos, nuestros padres, nuestros amigos, como con nuestros hermanos en Cristo. ¿Cómo inviertes tu tiempo? ¿Dónde lo inviertes? Sabes, el tiempo tiene más valor que el dinero que invertimos. Cuando se va, no puede ser recuperado. Al comenzar cada día, pide a Dios que puedas "conocer el tiempo," verlo por lo que es y usarlo para el bien mayor. El tiempo pasa rápidamente, y como las sombras del atardecer, pronto se absorbe en la oscuridad de la noche.

Mi oración

Dios Eterno, dame la sabiduría como para usar el tiempo que me es dado hoy para hacer lo mejor, lo justo, lo bueno y lo provechoso. Quiero invertir mi tiempo en lo que realmente permanece. Ayúdame a usar mi tiempo para influir y bendecir a las personas con quienes me relaciono para que se acerquen a ti. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
