During
a recent college football season, University of Texas quarterback Colt
McCoy began every post-game interview by thanking God for the
opportunity to play. When he was injured early in the national
championship game, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his
team lost. |
| Read: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 |
After the game, he told a television reporter, "I'd have given everything I have to be out there with my team.... I always give God the glory, I never question why things happen the way they do. God is in control of my life and I know that if nothing else, I'm standing on the Rock." |
| I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. — 2 Timothy 4:7 |
The apostle Paul experienced God’s deliverance many times, but he didn’t insist on things going his way. From prison in Rome he wrote to Timothy: “I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Tim. 4:6). Some might say that Paul had failed to accomplish his goals and that his life was ending in defeat. But he saw it differently: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (v.7). He looked forward to an eternal crown (v.8). As we walk with God, we can praise Him for His faithfulness—win or lose. I
can always count on God, my heavenly Father,
For He changes not; He always is the same. Yesterday, today, forever, He is faithful, And I know He loves me, praise His holy name! —Felten In
every change He faithful will remain. —Katharina von Schlegel

Si Jesús es el único camino al Padre, ¿qué implica esto para nuestra vida diaria? 1. El Peligro del Corazón Dividido En la Biblia, la falta de prioridad se describe a menudo como tener un "doble ánimo" (Santiago 1:8). Si Jesús es el único camino, intentar caminar por dos senderos a la vez produce inestabilidad. Mateo 6:24: Jesús es radical al decir que "nadie puede servir a dos señores". No dice que es "difícil", sino que es imposible. La implicación diaria: La exclusividad significa que cuando mis deseos personales chocan con las enseñanzas de Cristo, Su voluntad tiene la última palabra. 2. Cristo como el Filtro de Prioridades Imagina que tu vida es un recipiente. Si Jesús es el único camino, Él no es simplemente un ingrediente más dentro del recipiente; Él es el recipiente mismo que contiene todo lo demás. Identidad vs. Actividad: Muchas veces ponemos nuestra carrera, nuestra familia o nuestro estatus al mismo nivel que nuestra fe. La exclusividad impl...
