Mud glasses: valuable by content and fragile

Brothers all, visitors, friendly…

The Scripture compares several times our bodies to mud glasses. There is a very well-known appointment. In the book of Isaiah it is mentioned:

Perhaps the work will say of its hacedor: “It did not do to me�? It will say the container of it has formed which it: “It does not understand�?  Isaiah 29:16

Beautiful text, among others, that not much more remembers the immense arrogance that sometimes obstructs when trying to us something to us being like we are, from an illustrative point of view and a point of view to scientist who the mud. All the value that we have is what Yahweh, our God can put ours inside. The value of the physical and chemical components of a human being is not far beyond the one of a clay stock market certainly. And we are nevertheless enormously valuable for our God to the point that had an Earth son, like us to redeem to us.

Some events have made recent me meditate nevertheless in humility due not to the material value that we have really is not much, but to the immense fragility that we have like humans: the fragility of the cooked mud that bankruptcy to the smaller blow, broke to pieces or is not diluted with the passage of the water.

A few months ago comenzé with some problems of health of unknown origin that literally modified my life anormalizaron, it broke, it. Dolores in the belly, a sensation of constant indigestión that permitia not to eat to me but that a few mouthfuls, impossibility to sleep normally. in aim. My life changed. My humor changed. It felt to me angry with each person who crossed itself to me I irrationally only believe that because she felt to me annoying. Every day was but difficult to smile.

After several days without sleeping, eating, with pains. it was difficult to smile.

I got myself to anger at some time with my own Creator. I felt that it had left to me. Really my pain was much.

But the difficult thing was about to arrive… those symptoms got worse and my belly began to swell itself even more, and my legs. The first diagnosis that habia received was “possible dispepsia functional�, other doctors thought that he could be “internal irritable�. He did not have idea to have nothing put in risk my life. and even so my life was really lamentable. The second time that I went into, of a little while to the other the doctors they had new elements that clarified the panorama and they gave to the diagnosis this time me clearly identified: cardiac insufficiency.

When they mentioned my heart, when they mentioned that they would do the possible thing to stabilize to me, when the vulnerable and fragile being but of the universe mentioned so many things suddenly… me senti. My existence, in case I creia something, dependia of which a small piece of great meat but that my fist worked, and could stop doing it. It takes brings back to consciousness of the complicated mechanism that was: of perfectly designed that we are. And at the same time of the fragility of my condition.

I cried… I felt distressed. But at the same time that sensation of which every moment could be the last one caused that it made the decision to call to all the beings who I suspected that they wanted of a way or another one to me. In order to see them, to kiss them, to embrace them. Many it doubted that they came, others doubted to find them. But of grace of Yahweh they were in favor ALL there and but that ALL. Relatives who towards much not veia, others with which he did not understand to me and very special people that he had not valued in all their magnitude. All the important one then, at every moment that could be the last era to assure to me that it went to me loved and loving. That text of Corintios that I mentioned in a previous article of which “if master nothing I am not� it returned a concrete reality.

I was committed one week and the annoying symptoms, the pain, the swelling, everything were disappearing. I could eat normally, they could stabilize to me and by the grace of God they gave to the discharge and sali me of the hospital. But I did not leave being the same person. I left feeling, that had one second opportunity for always, but did not have a daily opportunity to show love. to look for God while it can be econtrado. I realized that perhaps of all the questions that to me my judge does, the Mesias in its court, the one whom but I fear is “You loved the sufficient thing? �….  It asked to me… and if I cannot respond IF totally convinced to that question, like I will be able to watch King to the face, to Him exactly that it died by love, that lived by love and revived by love?

This experience has changed to me brother for always. It has focused to me in but the important thing: in the essence of the law and the prophets and the gospel: the love.

I thank to Yahweh publicly, God of Israel to have granted the grace to me to live a day but every day lives that it. And by to have cleared all that one suffering and to allow today the power to take a normal life me, that it will be the time that determines then today I understand my fragility and whatever we depend on Its Will. I give thanks to Jesus, the Mesias, the human son of God to have given the opportunity to me of a new abundant life and with hope. I give thanks to all the people who prayed by my during the internment, to the relatives who took care of to me, to the brothers that wrote to me, that Yahweh blesses to all of them. If some desire that never rose to me that God does not take to him into account and that the salary raised to me has been for glory of God. For signal that it does not abandon to those who adore to him, Thanks Sir!

Jeremías 29:11 - 13 (New Version the International)

The 11 Because I know very well plans that I have for you - affirm the Gentleman, plans of well-being and not of calamity, in order to give to them to a future and one Then esperanza.12 you will invoke to me, and will come to beg to me, and I them escucharé.13 will look for to Me and they will find me, when they look for of everything *corazón to me.

Shalom!

That far we are… of the love

He is beautiful to unearth hidden truths, doctrines during long time. Conserved in the middle of persecutions by small groups there and here.  He is beautiful to discover the gospel like a gem that leaves the depths of the Earth and us it makes free.

And it is IMPORTANT. The knowledge, obvious is IMPORTANT brothers. Very IMPORTANT. I do not believe in that attitude of “does not matter what one creates with so than one does�. But certain recent events in my life I take to examine that so mentioned phrase from another angle: although it is not certain that a moral without KNOWLEDGE us will save to us, because written is “this is the eternal life that KNOW the unique true God YOU and that one to that you have sent, Jesus Christ� (Juan 17:3) I doubt much that a simple intellectual knowledge without a sincere Christian love maintains that it saves to anybody.

Obvious first letter to the Corintios could stick all the here, especially its chapter 13 on the love. Where Pablo clearly defines under inspiration of God that, although one knows all the secrets of the universe IF IT DOES NOT HAVE LOVE… they know what? Pablo does not say

  • if I do not have love he is worth less
  • if I do not have love complica a little
  • if I do not have love he serves less

He is HARDEST what Pablo says. But we are going to remember it:

don't mention it serves to me

To you theologian so, shepherd so, scholar so another one, leader so what, shepherd fulano, or mengano… if by means of its study of the writings the date even arrived that is to say and the exact hour of the hour in which he will return Jesus and DOES NOT HAVE LOVE, reads again:

DON'T MENTION IT SERVES TO HIM

The phrase is read like that hears rain. We are going to imagine it: nothing is nothing. It gives just as you have dedicated his life to serve God or has dedicated his life to sin: NOT HIM SIRVIO DON'T MENTION IT. Pablo does not say that SIRVIO to them OF LITTLE. He says that to NOT SIRVIO Don't mention it HIM.   And the NOTHING, as well as the WHOLE is absolute.

“And if it had prophecy, and it understood all the mysteries and all knowledge, and if it had all the faith, in such a way that it transferred mounts, and I do not have love, nothing I am.� (1 Corintios 13:2)

The worse thing: if it does not have love not only to NOT IT SERVES HIM Don't mention it what it has done but same you ARE NOT NOTHING. Lealo again: Pablo says that although he knew all the mysteries, had all the knowledge and until the faith (requisite indispensable for the salvation) to move a mountain but he would not have love NOTHING I AM.

Similar extremism in the words of the apostle is not strange. After all the “claries an the other� was a direct order of the Mesías that tenth to follow. Both mandates in which Jesus summarized the whole Tanaj were TO LOVE GOD and TO LOVE the FELLOW LIKE SAME A ONE.  The Christian under the new pact does not have long lists of laws, but only those two main orders and some “necessary things�. Obvious that IF WE DID NOT LOVE we can give by failed the fulfillment of our Christian law written in the heart.

  • The love is not amiability…
  • The love is not courtesy…
  • The love is not a smile and a light tap in the shoulder when we see which this bad one…

“And if a brother or a sister is naked and has necessity of the maintenance of every day, and some of you says to them: “You go peacefully, calentaos and saciaos�, but you do not give the things them that are necessary for the body, what it is useful? (Santiago 2:15 - 17)

When a brother this passing tribulation of any nature, we are authentic HYPOCRITES if we think that love is and to say to them “brother I hope that estes well, I am going to be praying� like simplel red tape to get out of trouble. This is only a mercy appearance: useless before the view of God.

I am totally conscious that due to the egoism of these last times, one doubt constantly about a that to do the good to him and to who no. One as Christian one always distrusts that they are taking advantage one. This situation predicted Jesus to it:

and by to have multiplied the badness, the love of many will cool off. (Mateo 24:12)

He is lamentable to verify that this is a sad reality in the churches nowadays. One can enter a church of any denomination. I have tested: one can enter, watch, observe… is rare that somebody approaches to give the hand him, to ask to him as it is. Ironically in the two or three churches in which they were rushed to him to greet it and to embrace it they are those same churches that acquire the obligatory tithe and campaign great of collection. That is: they see it like a client, does not trust, do not see it like somebody loved.

It is different the true Christianity? It Would have to be. The true Christianity is not a world-wide organization, but the Spiritual Church of true believers that has been always a minority persecuted between the great churches and religions.  There are signals that the faith is in the Earth, because there are movements towards the truth. Certain doctrinal errors begin to dissipate. the true Christians, little by little begin to influence and what before they were subjects taboo today are debated in the churches and many change their ways.

But what it really worries it is that but the difficult thing to find turns out to be not it HEALTHY DOCTRINE but the HEALTHY PRACTICE. It is difficult to find something at least near the first Christians who “had all the things common�, “they remained in houses of others�, and traveled months on foot to visit which was under tribulation.

Today everything is pragmatic: gentile, amiable, formal. A clean form. A scheme without feelings. And it worries to me much. Because I feel that all those treasures that were discovered DON'T MENTION IT then SERVE.

We again remember Pablo:

DON'T MENTION IT THEY SERVE

The church seguira being a rite of weekend for the majority and not a body of which all we comprised and in which when one suffers he is like sufrieramos we. I am writing this so that each one of that affirms to be Christian and especially those that by grace of God have arrived at an exact knowledge but from the writings raise…

  • Master fellow like same?
  • I am doing to my brothers what I would like that they did to me?
  • If I were in the place of so brother, that I would like that they did to me?

Perhaps we can give theology lessons. Perhaps we can give lessons of the Bible. Perhaps we can give good lessons of courtesy and modal.  But we are not able to give LOVE LESSONS, WE ARE NOT NOTHING and DON'T MENTION IT SERVES the REST THAN WE DO.

He would be almost FABULOUS to find somebody today that, having TWO LAYERS it gave one to its fellow as the Baptist recommended Juan. Somebody would be incredible almost would give its life since our Teacher did, by others… but he would be pretty to see that somebody sometimes made a simple call of telephone, walked streets, it spent a simple night in candle, or left of side a small part of its material life by love to a brother. But that pretty would be essential.

He would be VITAL that entendieramos that the love by the brothers is neither the gentility, nor the amiability, nor the hospitality, nor the good ways, nor good the modal ones, nor the formality. All this is important: but it is not love. All this is “eneldo and the mint�, you write which them decimated scrupulously. But already we know that lres was reprimanded to neglect the roots to watch the leaves.

We are very different? We are like Christians very different from a simple good person and well mannered without religion some or from some other religion? We are the light of the world? Llama the attention the love that we have ourselves? It astonishes to people?

I fear to those answers. Because if the answer is NO, to know to this or the other, knowledge that the Bible teaches this instead of that one in fact, to know the secrets the universe, IT DOES NOT SERVE to US Don't mention it nor IT TURNS to US INTO ANYTHING. Not even in Christians.

Shalom

Apolos
