Genesis 1:14 SOL Y LUNA
'Y Dios dijo: Que haya lumbreras en la expansión de los cielos para separar el día de la noche; y sean por señales, para las estaciones, para los días y los años.
Génesis 1:14
Hay pocas palabras en nuestra boca con más frecuencia que esa palabra corta pero más importante, "Tiempo". Es la medida larga de nuestro trabajo, expectativa y dolor; es la escasa medida de nuestro descanso y alegría. Y, sin embargo, con toda esta
Genesis 11:1
‘OF ONE LANGUAGE’
‘And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.’
Genesis 11:1
The New Testament is always converting into blessings the curses of the Old Testament. The burdens and severities of the Law are not only the types but the very substances of Gospel liberty and truth; the confusion of Babel leads to a greater harmony,
Genesis 2:1
THE COMPLETED WORK
‘Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.’
Genesis 2:1
The heavens and the earth were finished when God created man in His own image. Then the universe was what He designed it to be; then He could look, not upon a portion of it, but upon the whole of it, and say, ‘It is very good.’
I. We are told: (1)
1 Kings 15:25-28
TWO BAD KINGS
‘And Nadab reigned over Israel two years.’ ‘Baasha reigned in his stead.’
1 Kings 15:25-28
I. No doubt the reforms which Asa instituted in the south served to make Jeroboam more determined than ever to establish the calf-worship which he had introduced; and after his death his son Nadab perpetuated the same form of idolatry.
Ezra 1:1
TURNING AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION
‘The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.’
Ezra 1:1
Of this chapter little is necessary to be said in the way of homiletic analysis. The theme may be more easily handled, possibly, in a series of observations or topics.
I. For example, we see how the kingdom of God’s providence works into the kingdom
Psalms 112:1
WHO IS BLESSED?
‘Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord.’
Psalms 112:1
I. The fear and the love of God are inseparably united, and have an internal connection, in the truly pious.—The reward of this blessed and holy union is great. Its blessing extends to their descendants, and is powerfully displayed in themselves.
Psalms 113:1-9 ¡EL NOMBRE DEL SEÑOR SEA ALABADO!
'Alabado sea el nombre del Señor'.
Salmo 113:1
I.Así como Dios se ha dado a sí mismo un nombre que está por encima de todo nombre, y en él ha revelado su naturaleza para todos los tiempos y el mundo entero, así será invocado siempre y en todas partes por sus siervos con este nombre, e invitará
Psalms 130:1-8 REDENCIÓN PLENOSA
'En él hay abundante redención'.
Salmo 130:7
La palabra redención se usa con mucha frecuencia en dos sentidos. En el lenguaje común de los buenos libros a veces significa lo mismo que expiación, como en el Catecismo: "Creo en Dios Hijo, que me redimió a mí ya toda la humanidad". En el Antiguo
Psalms 76:1-12 es irresistible cuando se levanta para juzgar la liberación de Sus sufrientes .
III. A esto, después de presentar la veracidad de Dios en apoyo de esta declaración, el salmista agrega una exhortación a un curso de conducta acorde con ella ( Salmo 76:11 ) .— El sentimiento entusiasta, el tono valiente, que caracterizan las profecías y también los salmos del período asirio también nos encuentran aquí.
Ilustraciones
(1) 'Dios solo necesita levantarse para juzgar y todo el poder del mundo rebelde retrocede
Psalms 79:1-13 mismo hecho de la canción es una revelación de la confianza subyacente en Dios. En la angustia, el corazón busca su camino de regreso a algún escondite y lo encuentra en el Nombre de ese Dios que con el sufrimiento los está tratando.
Ilustraciones
(1) '¡Qué conmovedor! Piense en los prisioneros del mundo. ¡Los amantes de la libertad en las cárceles rusas abarrotadas, los pobres nativos del Estado Libre del Congo en sus pesados grilletes, los hombres y mujeres que están siendo condenados a cadena
Psalms 79:8 their God?’ Finally, the very fact of the song is a revelation of the underlying confidence in God. In distress the heart seeks its way back to some hiding place and finds it in the Name of that God Who by suffering is dealing with them.
Illustrations
(1) ‘How touching! Think of the prisoners of the world. The lovers of freedom in crowded Russian prisons, the poor natives of the Congo Free State in their heavy irons, the men and women that are undergoing life-sentences, the inmates of infirmaries, workhouses,
Numbers 20:12
THE SIN OF MOSES
‘And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.’
Numbers 20:12
I. The Lord here acts with great severity towards two of His servants, and it may be well to recount the circumstances. Water failed the congregation, they murmured as their fathers had done; Moses brought their case before the Lord, Who commanded
Matthew 22:12
THE WEDDING GARMENT
‘Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?’
Matthew 22:12
What does this wedding garment mean? Every student of the Word of God knows that it is another term for the Lord Jesus Christ. St. Paul says, ‘Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,’ that is the wedding garment, and without it there is no sitting down at
Matthew 22:12 LA PRENDA DE BODA
"Amigo, ¿cómo llegaste aquí sin un traje de boda?"
Mateo 22:12
¿Qué significa este vestido de boda? Todo estudiante de la Palabra de Dios sabe que es otro término para el Señor Jesucristo. San Pablo dice: "Vestíos del Señor Jesucristo", que es el vestido de bodas, y sin él no hay lugar para sentarse en la fiesta
Deuteronomy 32:39 32:39
The text declares with a magnificent fulness the personality and the power of God.
I. God as healing is made visible to us in Jesus.—The miracles of Jesus were mainly connected with the bodies of men. There were two great reasons for this. (1) One reason is to show the close connection of sickness with sin. One indication of this we have in a great fact of our Saviour’s life. He was incarnate that He might have sympathy with us. Yet He was never sick. He had no particular sickness because
Acts 12:5
THE CHURCH AT PRAYER
‘Prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him.’
Acts 12:5
‘More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,’ or that the Church dreams of either, for that matter. When this prayer was answered, the Church could not believe it true, and as for St. Peter, he thought it was a dream. After all,
1 Corinthians 10:10
AGAINST MURMURING
‘Neither murmur ye.’
1 Corinthians 10:10
Peevishness and discontent are not Christ-like. His wish for us, ‘Do all things without murmurings.’ ‘Take no anxious thought.’ ‘Fret not thyself.’ Selfishness the root of discontent.
I. Insignificant provocations.—Petty worries,
Titus 1:1
SERVANTS OF GOD
‘Paul, a servant of God.’
Titus 1:1
‘Servant of God,’ ‘servant of Jesus Christ’—this is the title by which each one of the writers of the epistles of the New Testament describes himself in one place or another. The title indicates their work in life, the place they hold in the world,
Titus 1:1-16 SIERVOS DE DIOS
'Pablo, un siervo de Dios'.
Tito 1:1
'Siervo de Dios', 'siervo de Jesucristo', este es el título con el que cada uno de los escritores de las epístolas del Nuevo Testamento se describe a sí mismo en un lugar u otro. El título indica su trabajo en la vida, el lugar que ocupan en el mundo
3 John 1:1 RELIGIÓN Y PROSPERIDAD
"El mayor al amado Gayo, a quien amo en la verdad".
3 Juan 1:1
Aquí nos hemos esbozado el carácter de un hombre extraordinario.
