El nacimiento virginal, ¿Tiene importancia?

20 de diciembre de 2012
Encuentro interesante que las personas eligen algunas partes de la Biblia que aceptan como verdaderas. Por ejemplo, el nacimiento virginal es, a menudo, un milagro que rechazan. El argumento que escucho es: “Siempre y cuando yo crea en Jesús, el resto no importa”. Pero ese razonamiento no es lógico. Sin su nacimiento virginal, Jesús habría sido apenas otro hombre, y por tanto indigno de nuestra fe.
Considere las implicaciones si María no hubiera sido virgen. En ese caso, lo siguiente sería cierto: 1) Fue una mentirosa que dijo haber recibido la visita de un ángel, quien le dijo que daría a luz al Hijo de Dios; 2) Fue infiel al esposo que tendría y 3) Jesús era un hijo ilegítimo sin ninguna naturaleza divina. Además, si su nacimiento virginal fuera mentira, entonces Jesús hubiera sido un loco que decía ser el Hijo de Dios, y que murió como un mártir tratando de demostrarlo.
En realidad, para que la muerte de Jesús fuera expiatoria, su nacimiento virginal tenía que ser cierto. Un niño nacido de un hombre y una mujer viene al mundo con una naturaleza de “carne” pecaminosa (Ro 5.12), pero Dios exigía un sacrificio perfecto que pagara por el pecado. Ese mensaje está en todo el Antiguo Testamento (Dt 17.1). Solo Jesús, que nació del Espíritu Santo (Mt 1.18), podía pagar el castigo en lugar nuestro.
No podemos escoger creer la Palabra de Dios a medias. Cada hecho, cada promesa y cada principio están incluidos por una razón. El Padre celestial puso a su hijo en el vientre de una virgen, para que nadie pudiera dudar de que Él era el Cordero de Dios, el Salvador del mundo.
Feliz Navidad!
Dios te bendiga!
Amen

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

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, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
