¿Cómo escucha usted la Palabra de Dios?

Leer | MATEO 13.1-9
18 de enero de 2013
La Biblia contiene información importantísima para todos los seres humanos, pero las personas la interpretan de maneras muy diferentes. El pasaje de hoy identifica a cuatro tipos de personas: Los que tienen…
  • Una mente cerrada. Esto no se refiere exclusivamente a los incrédulos. Los cristianos, también, pueden escuchar de manera pasiva, sin la intención de poner en práctica lo que oyen. La semilla no puede germinar porque el terreno es muy duro. Esos creyentes son superficiales, hasta que deciden prestar atención a Dios y obedecer.
  • Una mente nublada. Están representados por el suelo rocoso; escuchan la Palabra y se emocionan. Pero después no dedican tiempo para estudiarla, echar raíces y permitir que la verdad de Dios penetre en sus corazones. Por tener poco fundamento espiritual o conocimiento de Dios, tienen dificultades para sobrellevar los rigores de la vida.
  • Una mente afanada. Los afanes de la vida son para el cristiano lo que son los espinos y la maleza para un jardín. Una mente intranquila tiene poco o ningún espacio para que la Palabra de Dios brote y florezca.
  • Una mente dedicada. Dios puede hacer grandes cosas por medio de alguien cuya mente sea como el suelo fértil. Solamente una persona dispuesta a escuchar y aprender puede ser transformada.
A todos nos gustaría tener la bendición mencionada en la lectura de hoy —una gran cosecha de lo sembrado. Pero, para que eso sea cierto en nuestra vida, necesitamos evaluar sinceramente si tenemos una actitud dispuesta a aprender. Como dijo Jesús: “El que tenga oídos para oír, oiga”.
Dios te bendiga!
Amen

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...

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...
