God’sFlannelgraph |
In
this age of new video technology, it might be hard to believe that some
teachers still feel the best way to depict Bible stories is the
low-tech flannelgraph board. I recall that Sunday school
teachers used those flat boards covered with flannel, which enabled
them to display cutouts of David, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and all the
other characters. The flannelgraphs helped my teachers capture the essence of the Bible story in an artistic way.

Those old-school flannelgraphs aren’t the oldest graphic teaching devices, however. God has long had a kind of “flannelgraph” of His own, and it is called creation. God uses the marvel of creation to instruct us and to display His power. In Psalm 19:1, David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” In creation, God has revealed Himself so clearly that Paul declared, “His invisible attributes are clearly seen.” Those who have the witness of creation are “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Why? On the flannelgraph of God’s creation, we see God’s order and design. We see His power and glory. This should lead us to worship. “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1). (Psalm
19 -Audio-)

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. — Psalm 19:1 |
With
words of great power God formed the world—
By the strength of His voice heaven’s hosts were unfurled; Now in His honor we worship His name And in heartfelt devotion His glory proclaim. —Branon Creation
is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

Para entenderlo con claridad y bajo una sana doctrina evangélica, debemos mirar el asunto desde dos perspectivas: la perspectiva teológica (lo que ocurre espiritualmente) y la perspectiva de las ordenanzas prácticas (lo que la iglesia ejecuta). La respuesta corta y bíblica que une todo es lo que dice el apóstol Pablo en Efesios 4:5: "un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo". Sin embargo, cuando escudriñamos el Nuevo Testamento, vemos que ese "único bautismo" y la experiencia cristiana se manifiestan en tres dimensiones o momentos distintos. Para explicárselo de una forma muy didáctica, podemos dividirlo en Tres Bautismos Espirituales y Una Ordenanza Externa. Los 3 Bautismos del Nuevo Testamento (La Dimensión Espiritual) Para que los hermanos lo entiendan de forma sencilla, la clave está en identificar quién es el que bautiza (el agente) y en qué elemento nos sumerge. La palabra bautismo viene del griego baptizo, que significa literalmente "sumergir" ...
