No justice?

 It is often easier, then, it seems to me, to forgive what is done to us personally than what is done to those we love. But it is still very hard to forgive those who have hurt us directly, especially when they do not feel the slightest twinge of conscience. If our offender would put on sackcloth and ashes as a show of repentance, it would be much easier to forgive them. 

But remember, at the foot of Jesus’s cross no one seemed very sorry. There was no justice at His “trial”—if you could even call it that. A perverse glee filled the faces of the people who demanded His death: “‘Crucify him!’ they shouted” (Mark 15:13). Furthermore, “those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, ‘So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!’” (Mark 15:29–30). They shouted, “Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe” (Mark 15:32). What was Jesus’s response? “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). This must be our response as well. Jesus could have said, “I forgive you.”

 But such words might have been misinterpreted and wasted, like casting His pearls before swine. (See Matthew 7:6.) Instead Jesus asked the Father to forgive them, a far more grand gesture. Asking the Father to forgive them showed that not only had He forgiven them and released them from their guilt, but also that He had asked His Father not to punish or take revenge on them

. It was not a perfunctory prayer; Jesus meant it. And it was gloriously answered! These offenders were among the very ones Peter addressed on the Day of Pentecost and who were converted. (Read Acts 2:14–41.)

Pablo Advierte A Timoteo

Pablo advierte a Timoteo de esta inclinación de la humanidad hacia un desprecio por la verdad bíblica.  En 2 Timoteo 4: 3, escribe: “Porque vendrá el tiempo cuando no soportarán la sana doctrina;  pero queriendo que les hagan cosquillas en los oídos, acumularán para sí maestros de acuerdo a sus propios deseos ”.  Pastor, ese momento ha llegado;  ese momento es ahora.

Paul Warns Timothy

Paul warns Timothy of this bent in humanity toward a disregard for biblical truth. In 2 Timothy 4:3, he writes, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.” Pastor, that time has come; that time is now.

Pablo advierte a Timoteo

Pablo advierte a Timoteo de esta inclinación de la humanidad hacia un desprecio por la verdad bíblica.  En 2 Timoteo 4: 3, escribe: “Porque vendrá el tiempo cuando no soportarán la sana doctrina;  pero queriendo que les hagan cosquillas en los oídos, acumularán para sí maestros de acuerdo a sus propios deseos ”.  Pastor, ese momento ha llegado;  ese momento es ahora.


 Las personas gravitan hacia la enseñanza que les rascará el picor en lugar de fortalecer sus almas.  Pero cuando surgen dificultades en la vida, un "oído con comezón" no proporcionará ninguna ayuda en absoluto.  Como predicador, su papel implica más que motivación e inspiración, aunque son fundamentales.


 Tiene la oportunidad y la responsabilidad de enseñar a su congregación cómo estudiar y obtener sabiduría de las Escrituras.  Lo hace a través de la predicación expositiva, que obliga a los alumnos a leer las Escrituras.  Anima a los oyentes a comprender cómo llegaste a una determinada conclusión, lo que luego les ayuda a usar su propia Biblia como fuente para descubrir verdades por sí mismos.


 Otra razón importante por la que la exposición bíblica es fundamental es que el Espíritu Santo habla a través de la Palabra.  El Espíritu Santo se llama "el Espíritu de verdad" (Juan 16:13).  De hecho, si la Palabra no es fuerte y clara cuando la predicas, es porque no le has dado nada al Espíritu Santo para usar.  A menudo, los sermones caen en oídos sordos simplemente porque el Espíritu de Dios no fue parte del proceso ni en la preparación ni en la proclamación.


 Puede predicar palabras de la Biblia sin tener sermones espiritualmente empoderados.  Esto es posible, desafortunadamente, cuando el Espíritu Santo no se ha hecho parte integral del proceso (ver 1 Cor. 2: 4).  Pastor, recuerde hacer del Espíritu Santo su única fuente verdadera de los mensajes dados al pueblo de Dios.  Si el mensaje no llega, no tuvo una conversación cruzada con el Espíritu Santo.

Paul warns Timothy

 Paul warns Timothy of this bent in humanity toward a disregard for biblical truth. In 2 Timothy 4:3, he writes, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.” Pastor, that time has come; that time is now. 


People gravitate toward teaching that will scratch their itch rather than strengthen their souls. But when difficulties arise in life, an “itched ear” won’t provide any help at all. As a preacher, your role involves more than motivation and inspiration—though those are critical. 


You have the opportunity and responsibility to teach your congregation how to study and glean wisdom from Scripture. You do this through expository preaching, which forces learners to the Scripture. It encouragers hearers to understand how you got to a certain conclusion, which then helps them to use their own Bible as a source for uncovering truths on their own. 


Another important reason why biblical exposition is critical is that the Holy Spirit speaks through the Word. The Holy Spirit is called “the Spirit of truth” (John 16:13). In fact, if the Word is not strong and clear when you preach it, then it is because you have not given the Holy Spirit anything to use. Often, sermons fall on deaf ears simply because the Spirit of God was not part of the process in either preparation or proclamation. 


You can preach words from the Bible without having spiritually empowered sermons. This is possible, unfortunately, when the Holy Spirit has not been made an integral part of the process (see 1 Cor. 2:4). Pastor’s, please remember to make the Holy Spirit your only true source to the messages given to God’s people. If the message does not come across you did not have a cross conversation with the Holy Spirit.

Be faithful to the Word of God

 Ezra 7:10

 Reina-Valera 1960

 10 For Ezra had prepared her heart to inquire about the law of Jehovah and to fulfill it, and to teach in Israel her statutes and decrees.

 I love this biblical verse because it directs us ministers and pastors.  That we read the scriptures for our own understanding and fulfill the living word in us before preaching to others.

 Never prepare a message to preach to others before the message makes you minister to yourself.

 Let's go back to the true word of God.  Without introducing our own words, ideas, and feelings. Let's be loyal to the accuracy of God's word.

Seamos leal a la palabra De Dios

 Esdras 7:10

Reina-Valera 1960

10 Porque Esdras había preparado su corazón para inquirir la ley de Jehová y para cumplirla, y para enseñar en Israel sus estatutos y decretos.

Este verso bíblico me encanta porque nos directa a nosotros los ministros y pastores. Que nosotros leemos la escrituras para nuestro propio entendimiento y cumplir la palabra viva en nosotros antes de predicarle a otros.

Nunca prepares un mensaje para predicar a otros antes que el mensaje te haga ministrado a ti mismo.

Volvamos a la verdadera palabra De Dios. Sin introducir nuestras propias palabras , ideas, y sentimientos. Seamos leal a la exactitud de la palabra De Dios.

The cost of Following Christ

Today, I want to reflect on a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 8:20, where He says, “Foxes have holes, and birds ...
