Aquí continúa nuestra conversación con más enseñanzas acerca de la vida fructífera:
—Hijo, hay una tercera cosa que quiero que sepas: Estoy trayendo a otros para que hagan el viaje contigo. Búscalos.
—Pero, Señor, ya tengo suficiente con mis responsabilidades y mis problemas.
—Hijo, tienes que poner a un lado tus asuntos, y ayudar a otros a hacer el viaje.
—No puedo hacer más. Estoy demasiado ocupado.
—Yo elegiré tus prioridades.
—Estoy demasiado cansado.
—Te daré descanso. Ahora, aquí está la cuarta lección: Tienes que someterte a mi plan.
—¿Me explicarás lo que estás haciendo?
—A veces, aunque no siempre.
—Pero ¿y si tu plan no tiene sentido para mí?
—No confíes en tu entendimiento; sigue caminando hacia donde yo te dirija.
—Pero, Padre, ¿y si no quiero ir por ese camino? ¿Qué tal si me resulta demasiado difícil?
—Ah, ahora sí estamos en el meollo del asunto, que es la quinta lección: Una vida fructífera se tiene solamente cuanto está rendida a mí. Esa clase de vida se caracteriza por ser muy semejante a la vida de mi hijo Jesucristo. En otras palabras, la vida fructífera es una vida llena del fruto del Espíritu (Gá 5.22, 23). En esta relación, yo, Dios, soy quien manda. Tu parte es cooperar y someterte a mi plan. Ahora que conoces las instrucciones, ¿todavía quieres seguirme? Piénsalo con cuidado.
—Sí, Padre ¿A quién iría? Creo en ti, y quiero que seas mi guía.
El Rey Venidero

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...
