When he was raising his family, he was always busy because of his ministry and Like the disciples of Jesus, we should take time to listen other assignments. One day, his daughter, Colleen, to the words of Jesus. In our daily life, we may be very approached him and said, “Daddy, I want to tell you busy with many things.

But we have to find time to listen to Jesus as it is the desire and will of our Swindoll immediately realized that his daughter was Heavenly Father. frustrated because of his busy lifestyle. So he said, “Honey, you can tell me – and you don’t have to tell me In the Gospel, Jesus says, “He who loves me will keep fast. Say it slowly.” Immediately she said to him, “Then my commandments” (John 14:15). Again he says, “ My listen slowly.” sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life” (John 10:27-28). We will Swindoll was always busy. He had no time to listen to listen to Jesus if we truly love him. So the ultimate his daughter. That is why his daughter decided to tell question is, how much do we love Jesus?

Da secretária do Padre José A Transfiguração de Jesus Charles Swindoll é um autor, pregador no rádio e Como os discípulos de Jesus, devemos ter tempo para pastor em Frisco, Texas. Quando formou a sua família, ouvir as palavras de Jesus. Em nossa vida diária, ele estava sempre ocupado por causa do seu ministério podemos estar muito ocupados com muitas coisas. Por e outros trabalhos. Um dia, a sua filha, Colleen, causa disso, talvez não tenhamos tempo para ler a aproximou-se dele e disse: "Papá, eu quero dizer-te Bíblia. Mas temos que encontrar tempo para ouvir Jesus uma coisa, mas vou ser rápida." como é o desejo e a vontade do nosso Pai Celestial. Swindoll percebeu imediatamente que a sua filha No Evangelho, Jesus diz: "Aquele que me ama manterá estava frustrada por causa do seu estilo de vida. Então meus mandamentos" (João 14:15). Mais uma vez ele diz: ele disse-lhe: "Filha, podes me dizer - e não tens que me "As minhas ovelhas ouvem a minha voz, e eu conheço- dizer rápido. Fala devagar." Ela disse-lhe: "Então ouça as, e elas seguem-me. Eu dou-lhes a vida eterna" (João devagar." 10:27-28). Ouviremos Jesus se realmente o amarmos. Então a pergunta final é: quanto é que amamos Jesus? Swindoll estava sempre ocupado. Ele não tinha tempo O nosso amor é forte suficientemente para nos fazer de ouvir a filha. Foi por isso que a filha decidiu dizer- ouvir cada palavra e manter a sua palavra na nossa lhe que iria falar rápido o que ela tinha a dizer. Ele vida? aceitou a mensagem. Percebeu que tinha que ouvir a filha. No Livro do Apocalipse lemos: "Eis que eu estou à tua porta e bato à porta.

O profeta Elias e Moisés apareceram a Jesus e falaram com ele. Histórias Engraçadas Os discípulos de Jesus, ou seja, Pedro, Tiago e João, ficaram surpreendidos ao ver a glória de Jesus. Viram Livros de receitas e livros de dieta: Os dois maiores Jesus em toda a sua glória e majestade. E eles vendedores em qualquer livraria, de acordo com Andy descobriram como era bom compartilhar a glória de Rooney, são os livros de receitas e os livros de dieta. Os Jesus.

Vamos fazer três tendas: uma para livros de dieta dizem como não comer nada disso. (via você, uma para Moisés, e outra para Elias." Padre Tony) No entanto, não iria ser assim ainda. Os discípulos Jantares para quatro: Orson Wells que era um homem tiveram que ouvir Jesus antes de puderem compartilhar bastante gordo, disse uma vez: "O meu médico permanentemente a glória de Jesus.

in groups to the Sinai deserts due to exhaustion after their return flight from Europe over the Mediterranean Sea to their autumn habitats. Manna is the secretion of two species of scale insects on the tamarisk shrub dur- ing the months of May and June. But it was God’s do- ing that the fall of manna occurred daily (except Sab- baths), for the 40 unbroken years of their wandering in the desert. As the secretions drop from the shrub’s leaves to the ground, they cool in the night air and be- come firm. If gathered early before the parching desert sun melts it, the manna provides a tasty, nourishing meal. Bedouins in the northern Sinai call it mann and still use it as a sweetener. The fact that the occasional occurrence of the manna and quail can be explained scientifically does not, in any way, lessen their theologi- cal importance in demonstrating God’s love for His people; indeed, the Israelites rightly ascribed these nourishing, timely gifts from the desert to the loving providence of their God. Second Reading, Ephesians 4:17, 20-24 In the selections from Ephesians which we have read on these past two Sundays, St. Paul showed us how God effected the new unity of God's once separated peoples, the Jews and the Gentiles, by making both him and "believes" in him (v. 35).

Let us Life (John 6:11, 27), but also is the Bread of Life (John nourish our souls with this Heavenly manna and carry 6:35, 48). The giver and the gift are one and the Jesus to our homes and workplaces, radiating his love, same. As the Bread of Life from Heaven, Jesus claims mercy and compassion all around us. It is perhaps the that only he can satisfy man’s spiritual hunger.
