Hosea 2:15 — EL VALLE DE ACHOR Le daré ... el valle de Acor por puerta de esperanza. Oseas 2:15 El profeta Oseas es notable por el uso frecuente que hace de los acontecimientos de la historia anterior de su pueblo. Por eso, predice que la vieja historia del desierto se repetirá una vez más. En ese desierto, Dios hablará al corazón de Israel.
Matthew 2:1 — THE GOODNESS OF CHRIST ‘Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.’ Matthew 2:1 Let us try to see what the Story of the Magi is meant to teach us. I. Christ’s condescension.—In the largeness of the plan of His salvation, Christ not only breaks over all the narrow notions of national, family, and social prejudice, but He permits
Matthew 2:1 — LA BONDAD DE CRISTO "He aquí, vinieron magos del este a Jerusalén". Mateo 2:1 Tratemos de ver qué se pretende que nos enseñe la Historia de los Magos. I. La condescendencia de Cristo . — En la amplitud del plan de Su salvación, Cristo no solo rompe con todas las estrechas nociones de prejuicio nacional, familiar y social, sino
Matthew 4:5-7 — camino'. Pero si es 'tu camino', desciende por él, cualquiera que sea, sin miedo; sintiéndote seguro y cantando sobre la marcha: «El Señor es mi guardián; Confiaré y no temeré. Él es mi defensa a mi diestra. —El reverendo James Vaughan. Ilustraciones (1) 'Jesús se encuentra en el alto pináculo de la torre, o del pórtico del templo, presumiblemente aquel en el que todos los días un sacerdote estaba estacionado para observar, mientras la pálida luz de la mañana pasaba sobre las colinas de Judea, lejos
Matthew 5:21-22 — yo os digo, que cualquiera que se enoje con su hermano sin causa, correrá peligro de juicio; y cualquiera que diga a su hermano Raca, correrá peligro. del concilio; pero cualquiera que diga: Necio, correrá el peligro del infierno de fuego. Mateo 5:21 ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el juicio y el concilio? ¿Por qué es peor decir tonto que decir Raca? ¿Cuál es el significado de las palabras "en peligro de"? Cuando se dice que un hombre está 'en peligro' del juicio, o del concilio, o del incendio del
Luke 12:18-20 — THE RICH FOOL ‘And he said, This will I do … But God said unto him, Thou fool.’ Luke 12:18-20 How busy are the streets of a great city! How anxious and eager are some of the faces we meet! Look at this man—poor a few years ago, well off now. He has been successful in his business. This is what all these business people are striving to
Luke 13:6-9 — SPIRITUAL GROWTH OF LIFE ‘A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.… And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also … then after that thou shalt cut it down.’ Luke 13:6-9 Let us take as the basis of our thoughts the parable of the barren fig tree. Planted in a corner of the vineyard, protected by its walls, nourished by its properly prepared soil, there stands a fig tree. For two years the lord of the vineyard
Luke 2:7 — the Life, and the Way that leadeth unto the Father; still in such hearts, as in the hearts of the little children who delight to think of that first Christmas morning, there is a welcome and there is room. Rev. Canon H. D. Rawnsley. Illustrations (1) ‘When caravans of traders and of pilgrims became more common, khans were built for their reception, and it was doubtless the sense of the duty of providing for the traveller that prompted their erection, as an act of public benevolence. These khans
Luke 2:7 — Verdad, la Vida y el Camino que conduce al Padre; todavía en esos corazones, como en los corazones de los niños pequeños que se deleitan al pensar en esa primera mañana de Navidad, hay una bienvenida y hay lugar. Rev. Canon HD Rawnsley. Ilustraciones (1) “Cuando las caravanas de comerciantes y de peregrinos se hicieron más comunes, se construyeron khans para su recepción, y sin duda fue el sentido del deber de proveer al viajero lo que motivó su erección, como un acto de benevolencia pública. Estos
Luke 24:49 — in the spirit of the words, “Now I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” ’ (THIRD OUTLINE) SPIRITUAL INVESTITURE This word ‘endued’ signifies an investiture. You have it used in Daniel 5:27. You have it used in Isaiah 22:21. You have it used in Leviticus 8:7. We too may be sure that this being endued with power from on high will give to us the investiture of priests, so that we too may have access into the very holiest, and we too may worship the Father in spirit and in
John 6:12 — ALL NEED SUPPLIED ‘Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.’ John 6:12 ‘Five barley loaves and two small fishes’ in Christ’s hands can do more than two hundred pennyworth of bread, even if that amount could have been purchased. When will the Church fully entrust her Lord with all the resources she possesses, and cease
1 Corinthians 9:25 — THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN ‘Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.’ 1 Corinthians 9:25 The few ivy leaves soon fade away. The glory is ephemeral, and the hero is soon forgotten in the presence of newer and younger bloods. And the time soon comes when the natural force of even these well-trained athletes abates, and their
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 — for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.’ 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 The key to this passage, with its triumphant confidence, lies in the words ‘while we look.’ It was the Apostle’s gaze upward and onward which put the things present into their true focus. For all magnitudes are best measured by comparison. While
1 Timothy 4:8 — EL PRESENTE BENEFICIO DE UNA VIDA PÍA "Pero la piedad es útil para todas las cosas, porque tiene promesa de la vida que ahora es y de la venidera". 1 Timoteo 4:8 La religión no está destinada únicamente a prepararnos para el cielo. No es menos para este estado actual. Y si tan sólo permitiéramos que la religión ocupe el lugar que le corresponde, y la ponemos en todo, tendríamos pocas razones para
Hebrews 12:1-2 — compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith.’ Hebrews 12:1-2 ‘Seeing that we are compassed about’—whether we see it or not it is a truth. There are so many people who seem to live quite unconscious of environment. And what is true of ordinary things is also true of the Kingdom of God. Some Christians are
James 1:5 — THE GIFT OF WISDOM ‘If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.’ James 1:5 This is one of the many beautifully practical thoughts which fill and characterise St. James. I. What is wisdom?—‘Wisdom’ is not knowledge, though it involves knowledge, for the most learned persons are often the least wise. ‘Wisdom’ is the right
1 Peter 4:19 — SUFRIMIENTO SEGÚN LA VOLUNTAD DE DIOS "Por tanto, los que padecen conforme a la voluntad de Dios, encomienden sus almas a Él, haciendo el bien, como a un Creador fiel". 1 Pedro 4:19 Hay ocasiones en que fallan los lugares comunes del consuelo; cuando nuestros corazones, consternados por la magnitud del mal y el sufrimiento que vemos a nuestro alrededor, o abrumados por nuestro propio dolor personal, están dispuestos
1 Peter 4:7 — PREPARACIÓN PARA EL FIN 'El fin de todas las cosas está cerca; sed, pues, sobrios y velad en oración. 1 Pedro 4:7 A medida que los hombres avanzan en el camino de la vida, descubren que una cosa tras otra llega a su fin. Pero este mensaje apostólico nos advierte que el fin no solo de esto y aquello, sino el fin de todas las cosas, está cerca. I. Consideremos
1 John 4:9 — LOVE MANIFESTED ‘In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.’ 1 John 4:9 Of the reality of God’s love St. John had no doubt; neither need we have any, though some do doubt it, thinking that God’s justice and hatred of sin interfere with His love. But justice does not interfere with love in God. Justice and love
Jude 1:3 — CONTENDIENDO POR LA FE 'Deberíais contender fervientemente por la fe que una vez fue entregada a los santos'. Judas 1:3 El Apóstol San Judas, con una brusquedad sólo igualada por la sencillez e impresionante de sus palabras, tan pronto como recuerda a aquellos a quienes escribió sus privilegios espirituales, implica e insta al cumplimiento de una responsabilidad espiritual.
