Ezequiel 37-39 | | 2 Pedro 2<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cEl fin de todo el discurso o\u00eddo es este: Teme a Dios, y guarda sus mandamientos; porque esto es el todo del hombre.\u00bb \u2013 Eclesiast\u00e9s 12:13<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Salom\u00f3n, ya como hombre viejo, deprimido y cansado, contempl\u00f3 y reflexion\u00f3 profundamente acerca de sus esfuerzos y logros, as\u00ed como del grado de contentamiento que hab\u00eda alcanzado en su vejez. Salom\u00f3n concluye que todo, absolutamente todo, es vanidad, y es como correr tras el viento; sin embargo, a trav\u00e9s de las penas y grietas de una vida vivida bajo el sol, una vez m\u00e1s la sabidur\u00eda divina resurge en Salom\u00f3n. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Salom\u00f3n a\u00f1ade otro punto interesante: \u00abAcu\u00e9rdate de tu Creador antes que se rompa el cord\u00f3n de plata y se quiebre la vasija de oro, y se estrelle el c\u00e1ntaro contra la fuente y se haga pedazos la polea del pozo. Volver\u00e1 entonces el polvo a la tierra, como antes fue, y el esp\u00edritu volver\u00e1 a Dios, que es quien lo dio.\u201d (Eclesiast\u00e9s 12:6-7). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cinco de estas seis im\u00e1genes son acerca de descomposici\u00f3n; <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 el cord\u00f3n de plata roto, <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 la vasija de oro quebrada, <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 el c\u00e1ntaro estrellado contra la fuente, <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 la polea del pozo destrozada, <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 el retorno del polvo a la tierra. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Salom\u00f3n est\u00e1 hablando acerca de morir. Todo lo que es material perecer\u00e1 excepto nuestro esp\u00edritu, el cual regresar\u00e1 a Dios, quien lo dio.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
El escritor de Hebreos dice: \u201cY as\u00ed como est\u00e1 establecido que los seres humanos mueran una sola vez, y despu\u00e9s venga el juicio,\u2026\u201d (Hebreos 9:27). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
En ese d\u00eda, la mayor preocupaci\u00f3n ser\u00e1 la condici\u00f3n en la que nuestro esp\u00edritu retorne a Dios. No tendremos nada de nuestra propiedad para aportar; lo \u00fanico que tendremos ser\u00e1 la justicia de Cristo que fue atribuida a nosotros por el Esp\u00edritu Santo.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Salom\u00f3n, un hombre bendecido con el don de la sabidur\u00eda, busc\u00f3 intensamente el significado de la vida, primero con Dios y luego separado de Dios. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Al final, Salom\u00f3n llega a una irrefutable conclusi\u00f3n: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAcu\u00e9rdate de tu Creador\u2026 porque esto es el todo el hombre\u00bb.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
La raz\u00f3n por la que creemos en un creador es porque Dios se ha revelado a s\u00ed mismo en la creaci\u00f3n, en la Escritura, en nuestra conciencia y en Jesucristo.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Abraham Lincoln escribi\u00f3: \u00abYo nunca contemplo las estrellas sin sentir que estoy viendo el rostro de Dios. Puedo entender que un hombre mire la maldad en la tierra y sea ateo, pero no puedo concebir que un hombre mire al cielo y diga: \u201cNo hay Dios\u201d. La realidad es que Dios nos cre\u00f3; \u00c9l nos conoce y nos ama, y Eclesiast\u00e9s 3:11 dice que \u00c9l ha puesto eternidad en nuestros corazones. Lo anterior, nos est\u00e1 diciendo que la verdadera vida va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esta existencia terrenal; algo mucho m\u00e1s grande, fuera de nosotros; una verdadera vida con la que necesitamos conectarnos. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abAcu\u00e9rdate de t\u00fa Creador\u00bb concluye Salom\u00f3n, y no hay nada m\u00e1s que debamos buscar, porque es Dios quien es eterno, y es \u00fanicamente Dios quien llena ese doloroso abismo en nuestra vida, y quien provee el camino que conecta esta existencia terrenal con la verdadera vida.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ORACI\u00d3N: Amado Padre Celestial, gracias por haberme creado y por proveerme el \u00fanico camino a la vida eterna, quien es Jesucristo.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PARA REFLEXIONAR: \u00bfSoy consciente que la verdadera vida va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esta existencia terrenal?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Ezekiel 37-39 | | 2 Peter 2<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abThe end of all has been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. \u00ab- Ecclesiastes 12:13<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Solomon, and as old, depressed and tired man looked deeply reflected on their efforts and achievements, and the degree of contentment that had reached in their old age. Solomon concludes that everything, absolutely everything, is vanity, and it is like chasing the wind; however, through penalties and crannies of a life lived in the sun, once again resurfaces in divine wisdom Solomon.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Solomon adds another interesting point. \u00abRemember your Creator before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher crashing into the source and pieces done pulley Well then The dust returns to the land was like before, and the spirit returns to God, who gave it \u00ab(Ecclesiastes 12: 6-7)..<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Five of these six images are about decomposition;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 the silver cord broken,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 vessel broken gold,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 pitcher crashed into the fountain,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 torn pulley shaft,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022 return the dust to the ground.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Solomon is talking about dying. All that is material perish but our spirit, which returns to God who gave it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The writer of Hebrews says, \u00abAnd as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment …\u00bb (Hebrews 9:27).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On that day, the biggest concern is the condition in which our spirit returns to God. We have nothing to bring our property; all we have is the righteousness of Christ was imputed to us by the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Solomon, a man blessed with the gift of wisdom, intensely sought the meaning of life, first with God and then separated from God.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In the end, Solomon comes to an irrefutable conclusion:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abRemember your Creator … because this is the whole man.\u00bb<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The reason I believe in a creator is because God has revealed Himself in creation, in Scripture, in our consciousness and in Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Abraham Lincoln wrote: \u00abI never contemplate the stars without feeling that I am seeing the face of God I can understand a man to look evil on earth and be an atheist, but I can not conceive that a man to look up to heaven and say.\u00bb No no God \u00abThe reality is that God created us;.. He knows us and loves us, and Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that He has put eternity in our hearts the above, it is telling us that real life goes far beyond this earthly existence, something much larger, outside of us, a real life that we need to connect.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abRemember your Creator\u00bb concludes Solomon, and there is nothing else for us to find, because it is God who is eternal, and it is only God who fills this painful gap in our lives, and who provides the road connecting with this earthly existence real life.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for having created me and for providing me the only way to eternal life, who is Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For reflection: Am I aware that real life goes far beyond this earthly existence?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
