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-)

is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

Muchas veces, en nuestro caminar con Dios, podemos sentir que todavía estamos lejos de ser perfectos. Nos enfrentamos a luchas, fracasos y momentos en los que pensamos que no estamos progresando como nos gustaría. Pero el apóstol Pablo nos recuerda en Filipenses 3:12-14 que no importa cuán imperfectos seamos o cuántos errores hayamos cometido en el pasado, Dios nos llama a seguir adelante. No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús. (Filipenses 3:12-14) No necesitamos quedarnos estancados en el pasado. En Cristo, tenemos una nueva oportunidad cada día. Lo más importante es seguir avanzando, manteniendo siempre la mirada fija en el objetivo, que es n...
