Rejetons donc, nous aussi, tout ce qui nous emp\u00eache d’avancer, rejetons le p\u00e9ch\u00e9 qui nous enveloppe si facilement! Courons jusqu’au bout la course qu’on nous propose. Regardons toujours J\u00e9sus. C’est lui qui fait na\u00eetre la foi et qui la rend parfaite. Il a accept\u00e9 de mourir sur une croix sans avoir honte. En effet, il voyait d’avance la joie qu’il allait recevoir, et maintenant, il est assis \u00e0 la droite de Dieu. Oui, pensez \u00e0 J\u00e9sus. Les p\u00e9cheurs \u00e9taient contre lui, mais il a tout support\u00e9. Alors ne vous laissez pas vaincre par le d\u00e9couragement!\u00bb <\/em>H\u00e9breux 12.1-3<\/p>\n

La lettre aux H\u00e9breux, dans la Bible, est anonyme, de sorte que nous ne savons pas qui remercier de ce pr\u00e9cieux texte. Peu importe l\u2019auteur, ce dernier s\u2019adressait \u00e0 une communaut\u00e9 de chr\u00e9tiens du premier si\u00e8cle, situ\u00e9e peut-\u00eatre \u00e0 Rome. La r\u00e9alit\u00e9 v\u00e9cue par ces gens n\u2019\u00e9tant pas facile, l\u2019auteur voulait les encourager dans leur foi, parmi leurs difficult\u00e9s. <\/p>\n

L\u2019essentiel de son encouragement consistait \u00e0 leur demander (et \u00e0 nous aussi) de garder les yeux fix\u00e9s sur J\u00e9sus. Il leur disait (ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 nous) que c\u2019est en voyant d’avance la joie qu’il allait recevoir que J\u00e9sus a pu supporter la souffrance et un immense chagrin. La joie du P\u00e8re. La joie de savoir que Dieu restaurerait toute chose: que les jours du mal, de la douleur et de la perte \u00e9taient compt\u00e9s\u2009! La joie d\u2019\u00eatre pleinement aim\u00e9, vu et connu. La joie de voir la bont\u00e9 et la gentillesse de Dieu se r\u00e9v\u00e9ler. La joie d\u2019\u00eatre un fils (une fille) ch\u00e9ri du Roi. C\u2019est la joie qui a soutenu J\u00e9sus en pleine lutte. <\/p>\n

Paul nous explique bien cela en Romains 8.22-23, comparant notre r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 celle d\u2019une femme qui donne naissance. Accoucher est souffrant, souvent tr\u00e8s souffrant, mais la douleur ne peut se comparer \u00e0 la joie qui suit; voil\u00e0 pourquoi une m\u00e8re endure la souffrance. C\u2019est peut-\u00eatre, en partie, pourquoi J\u00e9sus s\u2019est ins\u00e9r\u00e9 dans l\u2019humanit\u00e9 en tant que b\u00e9b\u00e9: pour nous montrer que m\u00eame en pleine douleur, il y a une grande joie \u00e0 venir. Alors, cette ann\u00e9e \u00e0 No\u00ebl, souvenez-vous que J\u00e9sus est venu non seulement nous sauver de nos p\u00e9ch\u00e9s, vous et moi, mais aussi pour d\u00e9clarer que la joie s\u2019en venait. Voil\u00e0 qui nous apporte de la joie \u00e0 vous et moi, aujourd\u2019hui. <\/p>\n

L\u2019attente devient \u00e9galement une \u00e9preuve d\u2019ob\u00e9issance. Alors que nous tentons souvent de tout comprendre avant d\u2019agir, Dieu nous appelle \u00e0 lui faire confiance et \u00e0 lui ob\u00e9ir en l\u2019absence d\u2019une compr\u00e9hension compl\u00e8te. L\u2019ob\u00e9issance d\u2019Abraham, pour ce qui est de se rendre dans une terre inconnue sans tout comprendre, en t\u00e9moigne.<\/p>\n

L\u2019attente met aussi l\u2019amour \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve: le commandement d\u2019aimer le Seigneur de tout notre c\u0153ur, de toute notre \u00e2me et de toutes nos forces. La vie \u00e9ternelle suppose que nous connaissions Dieu intimement, en passant du temps avec lui et en \u00e9tant \u00e0 son \u00e9coute. L\u2019attente devient une fa\u00e7on dont Dieu nous incite \u00e0 nous rapprocher de lui.<\/p>\n

Alors que nous amor\u00e7ons la p\u00e9riode de No\u00ebl, le chapitre un de l\u2019\u00e9vangile de Luc illustre le contraste entre deux exemples d\u2019attente: Zacharie et Marie. Zacharie remet en question le message de l\u2019ange, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant un manque de foi en d\u00e9pit d\u2019une rencontre frappante. Marie, elle, pose \u00e0 l\u2019ange des questions diff\u00e9rentes, cherchant plut\u00f4t \u00e0 comprendre tout en conservant, dans son c\u0153ur, une attitude d\u2019acceptation. Sa r\u00e9ponse: \u00abVoici la servante du Seigneur; qu’il me soit fait selon ta parole\u00bb, d\u00e9montre la posture id\u00e9ale du c\u0153ur durant l\u2019attente.<\/p>\n

Pour conclure, disons que l\u2019attente fait partie du v\u00e9cu universel, son essence consistant non seulement en ce que nous attendons, mais \u00e9galement en la fa\u00e7on dont nous attendons et en la posture du c\u0153ur que nous maintenons durant tout ce processus.<\/p>\n

Merci \u00e0 vous tous, et que Dieu vous b\u00e9nisse!<\/p>\n

Hello everyone, Happy Advent!<\/p>\n

Waiting is an inevitable part of the human experience, whether it’s waiting in line at the grocery store or waiting for a future spouse. I recently went through an extended period of waiting in my own life, and the lessons I learned during that time were profound.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 11 speaks of faith as the confidence of what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see. This means knowing the outcome before we experience it – a challenging task in moments of waiting. Waiting can be a test of our faith, questioning whether we really believe in the unseen outcome with confidence and assurance. <\/p>\n

It requires faith in a future that remains hidden, a powerful lesson in imagining the outcome before it materializes. Waiting is also a test of our perception of our heavenly Father. Do we trust that He is good and wants the best for His children? The Bible emphasizes that God, as a good Father, knows how to give good gifts to His children. <\/p>\n
