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 - Romanos 2:6-7

El cual pagara a cada uno conforme a sus obras. A los que por la perseverancia en hacer el bien buscan gloria, honor e inmortalidad: vida eterna — Romanos 2:6-7

Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

Dios no solo nos busca, Él quiere una relación con nosotros. Él espera que lo busquemos y que nos interesen los asuntos importantes en torno a Él. Cuando buscamos su gloria y honor haciendo el bien, cuando buscamos lo eterno en vez de buscar cosas temporales Él se regocija y busca darnos lo que siempre ha diseñado para nosotros: Vida eterna con Él. En otras palabras, Dios siempre está buscando a quienes lo buscan.

Mi oración

Abba Padre, te doy gracias por amarme cuando estaba perdido en el pecado. Te doy gracias por no solo amarme, también por buscarme al enviar a Jesús. Gracias por tu justicia. Confieso que a veces me distraigo o me pongo de mal humor con cosas que no tienen mucha importancia. Por favor ayúdame a ser más disciplinado y saber poner mi corazón y atención en las cosas eternas. Mientras busco tu gloria y honor con mi forma de vivir, es bueno saber que quieres recompensarme con vida eterna. En el nombre precioso de Jesús, oro. Amen.
