\u201cDe offers die God brengt, zijn een gebroken geest, een gebroken en berouwvol hart.\u201d
<\/em>Psalm 51:17<\/strong><\/p>

Toen mijn kinderen klein waren, brachten ze me vaak hun kapotte speelgoed. Het meeste speelgoed dat ik niet kon repareren, belandde uiteindelijk in de prullenbak \u2013 want dat doe je nu eenmaal met kapotte spullen. Maar God gooit kapotte dingen niet weg \u2013 Hij gebruikt ze.<\/p>

Denk aan alle keren in de Bijbel dat iets of iemand gebroken werd.\u00a0<\/p>

Pas toen Jacobs natuurlijke kracht gebroken was \u2013 toen zijn heup ontwricht raakte tijdens die worstelwedstrijd \u2013 bereikte hij het punt waarop God hem op een krachtige manier kon zegenen. Pas toen Gideons 300 soldaten de kruiken in hun handen braken, als symbool van de gebrokenheid in hun leven, scheen het verborgen licht van de fakkels door om de vijand te verslaan. Pas nadat de arme weduwe de verzegeling van haar laatste kruik olie had verbroken en die begon uit te schenken, vermenigvuldigde God die op wonderbaarlijke wijze om haar schulden te betalen en in haar behoeften te voorzien.<\/p>

Pas toen Maria haar albasten parfumflesje brak \u2013 waardoor het zijn nut en waarde verloor \u2013 vulde de geur het huis en werd Jezus ge\u00eberd. Sterker nog, pas toen Jezus de vijf broden nam en ze brak, werd het brood vermenigvuldigd om de 5000 mensen te voeden. Juist door het breken van de broden vond het wonder plaats. Er gebeurt iets wonderbaarlijks. in<\/em> De gebrokenheid. Daarom heeft het Brood des Levens, de Heer Jezus, toegestaan dat Zijn lichaam voor ons gebroken werd. Bedenk dat geen enkel bot in Zijn lichaam gebroken werd (Johannes 19:36; Psalm 34:20). Maar toen Hij het Avondmaal instelde, nam Hij brood en zei:, \u201cNeem, eet; dit is Mijn lichaam, dat voor jou gebroken is.\u201d<\/em> (1 Korinti\u00ebrs 11:24).<\/p>

Toen de Heer Jezus over Zijn dood sprak, beschreef Hij Zichzelf als een graankorrel die op de grond moet vallen en sterven. Pas dan ontkiemt hij en brengt hij veel meer zaden voort (Johannes 12:24). De Heer leert vervolgens dat ook wij op dezelfde manier gebroken moeten worden als we ware volgelingen van Christus willen zijn.<\/p>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong>
God gebruikt gebroken dingen. Hij kan ons het beste gebruiken wanneer we buigzaam zijn in Zijn handen, zodat de Meesterpottenbakker het vat kan hervormen en modelleren zoals het Hem goeddunkt (Jeremia 18:4).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
