Read: John 6:4-14 |
So, before you think that you don’t have much to offer Jesus, consider this: Edward Kimball, a Sunday school teacher in Boston, decided to visit a young man in his class to be sure he was a Christian. That day he led that man, Dwight L. Moody, to the Lord. Moody, the Billy Graham of the 19th century, had a major impact on Wilbur Chapman. Chapman, a prominent evangelist, recruited Billy Sunday to join in his evangelistic campaigns. In turn, Sunday launched a national ministry that had great results in cities like Charlotte, North Carolina. An organization that started as a result of Sunday’s revival invited evangelist Mordecai Ham to Charlotte. In one of those meetings, Billy Graham received Christ as his Savior and later became the most prominent evangelist of our time. (John
6-Audio-)

There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many? —John 6:9 |
When
you think you don’t have much to offer, remember Sunday school teacher
Edward Kimball, who spent a Saturday afternoon reaching out to someone
in his class. God has a special way of using routine faithfulness in the “small things” to accomplish great things! What
may seem insignificant,
Mundane, routine, or small Is often used by God to show His power over all. —Sper God
uses small things to accomplish great things for His glory.

En el amor no hay temor, sino que el amor perfecto echa fuera el temor. El que teme espera el castigo, así que no ha sido perfeccionado en el amor. (1 Juan 4:17b-18) Amor, una palabra que está en la boca de muchos y en el corazón de pocos. Vivimos en un mundo frío y violento, tanto en los hechos como en las palabras, donde el amor parece haberse enfriado. Este ambiente sombrío genera miedo, depresión y desencanto con la vida. Pero cuando alzamos nuestros ojos para ver el verdadero amor, no ese amor que muestran las películas, sino el amor que vence al miedo y supera a la muerte, toda la opresión de este mundo no es suficiente para abatirnos. El amor derramado por Dios a través de su hijo Jesús es capaz de vencer el miedo y el castigo. Debemos alimentarnos de este amor y esparcirlo. Este amor no puede ser prohibido por la ley y nadie es capaz de arrebatarlo. ¡Debemos perfeccionarnos en este amor! Sí, es necesario, pues este es un amor práctico. De la misma forma en que somos alimentados...
