Running away Huyendo

The police came through my neighborhood this morning. The power had gone out, so many of us were outside. The police man said to go inside because there was a man who had run away from a crime and they were looking for him in the neighborhood. As I listen to the helicopter flying by searching for him, I am reminded of a verse. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. Christ died for us when we were in the midst of our sin. We were guilty and perhaps running away from Him. And still, He laid down His life for us.

La policia vino por entre mi barrio esta manana. No era electricidad, conque habia muchos vecinos estaban afuera. La policia dijo ir dentro porque habia un hombre que ha escapado de un crimen y ellos estaban buscando por el en el barrio. Mientras escuchando al helicoptero en busca de el, estoy recordando un verso. "Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en que cuando todavia eramos pecadores, Cristo murio por nosotros." Romanos 5:8. Cristo murio por nosotros cuando eramos pecadores. Estabamos culpable y quizas huyendo de El. Y todavia, El dio su vida por nosotros.
