Cuente su propia historia

Leer | JUAN 9.1-7
29 de abril de 2013
El Señor usará el testimonio del cristiano de una manera poderosa. Cuando contamos cómo Dios nos salvó y nos transformó, el Espíritu Santo puede aumentar el interés de las personas por los asuntos espirituales, y usar nuestras palabras para ayudarlas a buscar a Cristo como su Salvador.
En Juan 9, leemos acerca de un ciego a quien el Señor curó. Había sido invidente desde su nacimiento, y muchas personas querían saber cómo se produjo su sanidad milagrosa. A todos los que lo interrogaban, les contaba los hechos tal como los había experimentado: “El hombre al que llaman Jesús hizo lodo, me lo untó en los ojos y me dijo: ‘Ve al estanque de Siloé y lávate’. Entonces fui, me lavé, ¡y ahora puedo ver!” (Jn 9.11, NTV).
Cuando obedecemos los mandamientos del Señor, las personas que nos rodean notarán que hay algo diferente en nosotros. Es posible que tengan curiosidad en cuanto a nuestra manera de afrontar el sufrimiento o de mantenernos tranquilos en tiempos de adversidad. Pueden preguntarnos por qué hemos renunciado a ciertas actividades o evitamos ciertos lugares. Podemos responder de la misma sencilla manera que el ciego: “Yo estaba ciego espiritualmente y separado de Dios por el pecado. Jesús, el Salvador, murió en la cruz para pagar mis pecados. Por la fe en Él, sé que he sido perdonado y adoptado en la familia de Dios. Es por eso que no soy el mismo”.
No tenemos que dar respuesta a todas las preguntas para poder hablar de nuestro Salvador. Solo necesitamos decir lo que nos ha sucedido personalmente. Tómese el tiempo para escribir su testimonio en unas pocas líneas y cuente su historia de manera breve y clara. Después, busque la oportunidad de compartir con alguien más lo que Dios ha hecho en su vida.
Me encantaria poder incluir su historia o testimonio en nuestro blog. Espero por ti. Sera de bendicion para el nuevo lector.
Dios te bendiga!

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.

The Need for Friendship

July 19, 2012 Read | 2 Timothy 4:9-22 Independence is a prized attribute in our culture, but biblically, it isn't a worthy aspiration. Nowhere in Scripture will you find the erroneous quote, "God helps those who help themselves." The very fact that the Lord formed the church--a community of believers--should tell us that He did not create people for self-sufficiency or isolation. When we place faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells us so we can have a fulfilling relationship with the Lord and satisfying friendships with one another. In God's design, a close, committed biblical friendship between two believers serves to build both toward Christlikeness. Look at any of the saints in Scripture, and you will find evidence of reliance upon a close friend or confidante for support. Paul, in particular, spoke freely and often of his dependence upon dear companions and encouraged others to form intimate partnerships as well (2 Tim. 2:22). It's interest...
