Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”). Galatians 3:13 (NKJV) En lugar de decir “Hola”, cuando se saludan, la gente de las tribus del Norte de Natal en Sudáfrica dice, “Sawubona” que significa, “Te vi”. Éste es un saludo muy personal que tiene una profundidad única en sí mismo. Ésta es la manera en la que Dios le saluda. Cuando Jesús murió en la cruz, Él murió por el pecado de la humanidad. Pero no fue la crucifixión o los soldados quienes le mataron a Él. Lo que mato a Jesús fue aceptar y hacerse cargo de la naturaleza del pecado de la humanidad. …
Jesús Acudió Voluntariamente
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. Isaiah 53:7 (NKJV) Jesús fue a la cruz en silencio. Leer Isaías 53:7 mientras meditada sobre el mensaje de la cruz, me llegó al corazón. Es interesante que Isaías comparara el sufrimiento de Jesús con una oveja que está siendo trasquilada. La oveja es uno de los pocos animales que se mantiene tranquila mientras es trasquilada. Si usted tratase de voltear un gato sobre su espalda para raparle el pelo, ese gato haría cualquier cosa menos estar tranquilo. Pero usted puede voltear una oveja y ponerla con las …
JESUS WENT WILLINGLY
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. Isaiah 53:7 (NKJV) Jesus went to the cross silent. As I read Isaiah 53:7 while meditating on the message of the cross, it touched me. It’s interesting that Isaiah compared Jesus’ ordeal to a sheep being sheared. Sheep are one of very few animals who stay quiet while being sheared. If you tried flipping a cat over on its back to give it a buzz cut, that cat would be anything but quiet. But you can flip a sheep over with its legs in the air and it …
La Obra de Jesús es Amor
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 (NKJV) Dios es todo amor. La razón del porqué Dios envió a Jesús a la Tierra fue para que restaurarle Su familia. Algunos piensan que Dios está enfocado en todos los errores que usted comete porque Su principal propósito es hacerlo a usted perfecto. Pero ese no es realmente Su propósito. Si usted fue criado en una religión legalista o por unos padres perfeccionistas, esto puede ser una revelación para usted. Usted puede haber crecido pensando que la única manera de estar bien con Dios era tener una vida organizada. O puede ser que su familia se centrara en no permitir que otros vieran sus imperfecciones porque …
JESUS’ WORK IS ABOUT LOVE
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 (NKJV) God is all about love. The entire purpose behind why God sent Jesus to this earth was to restore His family to Him. Some think that God is focused on all your mistakes because His main goal is to make you perfect. That’s actually not His goal. If you were raised in legalistic religion or by perfectionistic parents, this may be a revelation to you. You may have grown up thinking that the only way you could be okay with God was to have your life all together. Or maybe the focus in your family was to never let others see your imperfections because you had …
