\nG\u00e9nesis 13-15 | Mateo 5:1-26
\n\u201cEl Hijo es el resplandor de la gloria de Dios, la fiel imagen de lo que \u00e9l es, y el que sostiene todas las cosas con su palabra poderosa.\u201d Hebreos 1:3<\/p>\n
Cuando Jes\u00fas dice: \u201cYo soy la verdad\u201d, eso nos plantea una pregunta: \u00bfLa verdad acerca de qu\u00e9? Jes\u00fas es la verdad acerca de Dios, y la declaraci\u00f3n \u201cyo soy la verdad\u201d es una revelaci\u00f3n de la verdad en cuanto a nuestra uni\u00f3n con Dios.<\/p>\n En la \u00daltima Cena, Jes\u00fas dijo a Sus disc\u00edpulos: \u201cSi ustedes realmente me conocieran, conocer\u00edan tambi\u00e9n a mi Padre. Y ya desde este momento lo conocen y lo han visto. \u2014Se\u00f1or \u2014dijo Felipe\u2014, mu\u00e9stranos al Padre y con eso nos basta. \u2014 \u00a1Pero, Felipe! \u00bfTanto tiempo llevo ya entre ustedes, y todav\u00eda no me conoces? El que me ha visto a m\u00ed, ha visto al Padre. \u00bfC\u00f3mo puedes decirme: \u201cMu\u00e9stranos al Padre?\u201d (Juan 14:7-9).<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 fue lo que los disc\u00edpulos exactamente vieron en Jes\u00fas? Vieron al hombre perfecto, el hombre exactamente como Dios lo cre\u00f3 originalmente. G\u00e9nesis 1:26-27 dice \u201cy Dios dijo: Hagamos al ser humano a nuestra imagen y semejanza…Y Dios cre\u00f3 al ser humano a su imagen; lo cre\u00f3 a imagen de Dios.\u201d Cuatro veces en estos dos versos se enfatiza que Dios nos cre\u00f3 para ser a Su imagen, ya que el prop\u00f3sito del ser humano antes de la ca\u00edda era demostrar c\u00f3mo es Dios, a trav\u00e9s de nuestra manera de vivir, de actuar y de comportarnos. No es una semejanza f\u00edsica de Dios, ya que Dios no es un ser f\u00edsico, sino es una semejanza moral, Su car\u00e1cter.<\/p>\n Jes\u00fas le pregunta a Felipe: \u201c\u00bfAcaso no crees que yo estoy en el Padre, y que el Padre est\u00e1 en m\u00ed? Las palabras que yo les comunico, no las hablo como cosa m\u00eda, sino que es el Padre, que est\u00e1 en m\u00ed, el que realiza sus obras. Cr\u00e9anme cuando les digo que yo estoy en el Padre y que el Padre est\u00e1 en m\u00ed…\u201d (Juan 14:10-11). Jes\u00fas vivi\u00f3 en completa uni\u00f3n con su Padre, en completa obediencia a \u00c9l, en completa dependencia de \u00c9l y en completo amor por \u00c9l. Cuando los disc\u00edpulos vieron a Jes\u00fas, vieron a Dios mismo en acci\u00f3n. Todos los milagros y ense\u00f1anzas de Jes\u00fas era Su Padre obrando a trav\u00e9s de \u00c9l.<\/p>\n La relaci\u00f3n que Jes\u00fas demostr\u00f3 con su Padre cuando estuvo como hombre en la tierra, es la misma relaci\u00f3n que nosotros estamos destinados a tener con \u00c9l. Jes\u00fas vino a la tierra, no s\u00f3lo para salvar a su pueblo de sus pecados, sino para revelar la naturaleza de la verdadera humanidad como Dios espera que sea. Al haber sido reconciliados con el Padre, Cristo, por su Esp\u00edritu, vive Su vida en nosotros y a trav\u00e9s de nosotros, y \u00c9l mismo es el medio para que nuestra vida refleje el car\u00e1cter moral de Dios. \u201cYo soy la verdad\u201d, dijo Jes\u00fas. En otras palabras, \u201cYo soy la demostraci\u00f3n de c\u00f3mo ustedes est\u00e1n destinados a vivir en uni\u00f3n con el Padre.\u201d En Cristo, tenemos la vida en su m\u00e1ximo esplendor y plenitud, con el poder y la fortaleza de Cristo mismo.<\/p>\n ORACI\u00d3N: Se\u00f1or Jes\u00fas, te pido por una uni\u00f3n cada vez m\u00e1s \u00edntima contigo, de manera que tu Esp\u00edritu en m\u00ed refleje cada vez m\u00e1s la verdad de Dios en mi vida y a trav\u00e9s de mi vida. THE TRUTH When Jesus says: \u00abI am the truth\u00bb, that raises a question: The truth about what? Jesus is the truth about God, and the statement \u00abI am the truth\u00bb is a revelation of the truth about our union with God.<\/p>\n At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples: \u00abIf you really knew me, you would know my Father. And from now on you they know and have seen. Sir Philip said, show us the Father and that will be enough. – But, Felipe! So much time I have been among you, and still do not know me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father? \u00ab(John 14: 7-9).<\/p>\n Which was exactly what the disciples saw Jesus? They saw the perfect man, the man just as God originally created. Genesis 1: 26-27 says, \u00abAnd God said, Let us make man in our image and likeness to be … And God created man in his image being; He created the image of God. \u00abFour times in these two verses emphasizes that God created us in His image, as the purpose of man before the fall was to show what God is, through the way we live , to act and behave. It is not a physical likeness of God, for God is not a physical being, but is a moral likeness, His character.<\/p>\n Felipe Jesus asks: \u00abDo you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I inform you, not just my own, but it is the Father who is in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me … \u00ab(John 14: 10-11). Jesus lived in complete union with the Father, in complete obedience to Him in complete dependence on Him and complete love for Him. When the disciples saw Jesus, they saw God himself in action. All the miracles and teachings of Jesus was His Father working through Him.<\/p>\n The relationship Jesus demonstrated his Father when he was as a man on earth, is the same relationship that we’re meant to be with Him. Jesus came to earth not only to save his people from their sins, but to reveal the the true nature of humanity as God wants it. Having been reconciled with the Father, Christ, by His Spirit, live His life in us and through us, and he himself is the means by which our lives reflect the moral character of God. \u00abI am the truth,\u00bb Jesus said. In other words, \u00abI am demonstrating how you are destined to live in union with the Father.\u00bb In Christ we have life in its fullness and splendor, with the power and strength of Christ himself.<\/p>\n PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I pray for an increasingly intimate with you, so that your union Spirit in me increasingly reflect the truth of God in my life and through my life.
