El fundamento de la sabiduría [Eclesiastés 7:15–18] Durante la reunión de oración de esta mañana, medité sobre los temas de una familia bendecida, una iglesia bendecida y una nación bendecida, centrándome en 2 Crónicas 9:7: «¡Bienaventurados tus hombres! ¡Bienaventurados estos siervos tuyos, que están continuamente delante de ti y oyen tu sabiduría!». Al reflexionar sobre este versículo, contemplé la tremenda bendición que supone encontrar a un líder sabio. Esto se debe a que la nación de Israel fue bendecida precisamente porque su rey, Salomón, era sabio. Al defender la justicia y la rectitud, el sabio rey Salomón fortaleció a la nación (versículo 8); así, tal como observó la reina de Sabá, el pueblo de Israel era, en efecto, un pueblo bendecido. Para que nuestras familias sean bendecidas, el cabeza de familia —el esposo o el padre— debe ser sabio. Para que nuestras empresas sean bendecidas, el presidente debe se...
We must convey the correct knowledge of the gospel
of Jesus Christ, even
through testimony.
A
Pharisee who strictly adhered to the law, Saul, also known as Paul,
was
considered blameless according to the law.
However,
he zealously persecuted the church (Philippians 3:5-6).
But
his zeal at that time did not come from true knowledge (Romans 10:2).
Instead,
it was done in ignorance when he did not believe in Jesus Christ (1 Timothy
1:13).
When
Saul, who was like that, met Jesus on the road to Damascus, repented,
and
received a calling to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ,
he
said to the crowd who sought to kill him,
‘I
was as zealous for God as any of you are today.
In
fact, I persecuted the followers of Jesus to their death,
arresting
both men and women and throwing them into prison’ (Acts 22:3-4).
The
apostle Paul recognized that before the crowd believed in Jesus,
his
zeal for God was genuine,
but
it did not come from a true understanding of Jesus Christ (Romans 10:2).
Therefore,
Paul intended to proclaim
the
true knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ
to
those crowds seeking to kill him through his testimony.
His
reason was that if by any means his own people could be saved,
he
was willing to be cursed and cut off from Christ
if
that would save them (Romans 9:3).
Even
if those who zealously act without true knowledge of Jesus Christ
persecute
us as we continue to grow in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,
we
must, through our testimony,
compassionately
share the true knowledge of the gospel.
We
must proclaim Jesus Christ with our lips and our lives (1 Timothy 1:13).
