Aportacion de: Ben Ayala  Ver Poster Esta es la historia de un Alma a la que finalmente le llegó el turno de entrar al planeta, con la esperanza de que ésta fuera la última vez que tuviera que estar por estos lados. El Alma se presentó entonces ante el consejo kármico, quienes le ayudarían a planificar su destino.  El consejo se la quedó mirando y le dijo: “Te tenemos una buena vida. En ella conocerás a alguien que te podrá llevar de regreso a Dios y tendrás la oportunidad de superar este mundo y retornar a tu verdadero hogar en el Espíritu.” El Alma exclamó: “¡Fantástico!” El consejo kármico le preguntó entonces: “¿Qué valor tiene eso para ti?” Y el Alma contestó: “¿Dejar el planeta? ¿Volver a Dios? Eso valdría todo lo que tengo. Lo daría todo.” El consejo kármico observó al Alma y dijo: “No es necesario que lo des todo; sólo el 10%.” El Alma dijo: “¿El diez por ciento? Esa era la comisión que le pagaba a mi agente la última vez que estuve en la Tierra. ¡Eso no es ...

Advertencia al que peca deliberadamente. El evangelio, es poder de Dios para salvación de todo aquel que cree, del judío primeramenten y también del griego, pues en el evangelio, la justicia de Dios se revela por fe y para fe: «Mas el justo por la fe vivirá». La ira de Dios se revela desde el cielo contra toda impiedad e injusticia de los hombres que detienen con injusticia la verdad,   porque lo que de Dios se conoce les es manifiesto, pues Dios se lo manifestó: Lo invisible de él, su eterno poder y su deidad, se hace claramente visible desde la creación del mundo y se puede discernir por medio de las cosas hechas. La culpabilidad de la humanidad.  Por lo tanto, no tienen excusa, ya que, habiendo conocido a Dios, no lo glorificaron como a Dios, ni le dieron gracias.   Al contrario, se envanecieron en sus razonamientos y su necio corazón fue entenebrecido.  Pretendiendo ser sabios, se hicieron necios, y cambiaron la gloria del Dios incorruptible por im...

Posted by: Ben Ayala Christ’s physical resurrection Understanding of the meaning of Easter is still developing.  We know that Jesus died once for all ( Rom. 6:10; Heb. 10:12 ) and, of course, rose from the dead once.  Three days after paying the penalty of our sins on the cross, the sinless Jesus conquered death by rising from the grave and breaking the power of sin.  It was this final sacrifice of blood that opened the only way for us to have a relationship with God now and a home with Him forevermore. “Christ died for our sins, . . . He was buried, and . . . He rose again the third day” ( 1 Cor. 15:3-4 ). He has promised that He is preparing a place for us ( John 14:1-4 ), and He will someday return.  One day we will be with our risen Savior. That’s why every year at Eastertime— in fact, every day of the year —we have reason to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth...

Posted by: Ben Ayala Jesus' body lay in the tomb where it was guarded by Roman soldiers throughout the day on Saturday, which was the Sabbath. When the Sabbath ended at 6 p.m., Christ's body was ceremonially treated for burial with spices purchased by Nicodemus: "He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus' body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth." (John 19: 39-40, NLT) Nicodemus, like Joseph of Arimathea, was a member of the Sanhedrin, the court which had condemned Jesus Christ to death. For a time, both men had lived as secret followers of Jesus, afraid to make a public profession of faith because of their prominent positions in the Jewish community. Similarly, both were deeply affected by Christ's death. They boldly came out of hiding, risking their reputations and their lives because they now realized Jesus was, indeed, the long-awaited Messiah. To...

Posted by: Ben Ayala Today we'll trace Jesus' steps on Good Friday, the most difficult day of Passion Week. Christ's journey turned treacherous and acutely painful in these final hours leading to his death. According to Scripture, Judas Iscariot, the disciple who had betrayed Jesus, was overcome with remorse and hanged himself early Friday morning. Meanwhile, before the third hour (9 a.m.), Jesus endured the shame of false accusations, condemnation, mockery, beatings, and abandonment. After multiple unlawful trials, he was sentenced to death by crucifixion, one of the most horrible and disgraceful methods of capital punishment. Before Christ was led away, soldiers spit on him, tormented and mocked him, and pierced him with a crown of thorns. Then Jesus carried his own cross to Calvary where, again, he was mocked and insulted as Roman soldiers nailed him to the wooden cross. Jesus spoke seven final statements from the cross. His first words were, "Father, forgive t...

Our Walk through Holy Week takes a somber turn on Thursday. From Bethany Jesus sent Peter and John ahead to the Upper Room in Jerusalem to make the preparations for the Passover Feast. That evening after sunset, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples as they prepared to share in the Passover. By performing this humble act of service, Jesus demonstrated by example how they were to love one another. Today, many churches practice foot-washing ceremonies as a part of their Maundy Thursday services. Then Jesus shared the feast of Passover with his disciples saying, "I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. For I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." (Luke 22:15-16, NLT) As the Lamb of God, Jesus was about to fulfill the meaning of the Passover by giving his body to be broken and his blood to be shed in sacrifice, freeing us from sin and death. During ...

Posted By: Ben Ayala Today, we continue tracing the footsteps of Jesus, as Monday morning he returned with his disciples to Jerusalem. Along the way, Jesus cursed a fig tree because it had failed to bear fruit. Some scholars believe this cursing of the fig tree represented God's judgment on the spiritually dead religious leaders of Israel. Others believe the symbolism extended to all believers, demonstrating that genuine, living faith is more than just outward religiosity. True faith must bear spiritual fruit in a person's life. When Jesus arrived at the Temple he found the courts full of corrupt money changers. He began overturning their tables and clearing the Temple, saying, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves." (Luke 19:46) On Monday evening Jesus stayed in Bethany again, probably in the home of his friends, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Read More: Monday's e...

Posted by: Ben Ayala On the Sunday before his death, Jesus began his trip to Jerusalem, knowing that soon he would lay down his life for the sins of the world. Nearing the village of Bethphage, he sent two of his disciples ahead to look for a donkey with its unbroken colt. Jesus instructed the disciples to untie the animals and bring them to him. Then Jesus sat on the young donkey and slowly, humbly, made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling the ancient prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. The crowds welcomed him by waving palm branches in the air and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" On Palm Sunday, Jesus and his disciples spent the night in Bethany, a town about two miles east of Jerusalem. In all likelihood, Jesus stayed in the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Read More: Jesus' Triumphal Entry is recorded in Matthew 21:1...

    NUMEROS: LA VIDA CRISTIANA INCOMPLETA  El Pentateuco, los primeros cinco libros de la Biblia, siguen el curso del recorrido espiritual de una persona desde el pecado a la fe y a la glorificación en Cristo. Todo el Antiguo Testamento fue escrito a fin de que pudiésemos ver de una manera gráfica lo que afirma el Nuevo Testamento que es cierto y que confirma.  El Nuevo Testamento nos dice que todos los acontecimientos en los que se vio Israel involucrado sucedieron como un ejemplo para nosotros y que fueron escritos para nuestra enseñanza puesto que son imágenes de lo que tendremos que pasar, al seguir adelante en Jesucristo. (1ª Cor. 10:11) Ahora bien, el libro de Génesis es una imagen de la humanidad con toda su profunda y apremiante necesidad. Es un retrato del aspecto que tenemos como resultado de la caída del hombre y la consiguiente necesidad que tenemos de Dios en nuestra vida. Del Exodo al Deuteronomio, nos encontramos con el camino recorrido entre Egipto y ...
