El sacrificio infinito de Cristo

El sacrificio infinito de Cristo

Esta más allá de la comprensión humana describir el sacrificio infinito de Cristo en la salvación de la humanidad. Esta más allá de la mente humana comprender la pérdida, y condescendencia.

Jesucristo es Dios, preexistente, con vida originada en Él mismo, no prestada por nadie ni derivada de su Padre. Él era uno con Dios desde la eternidad:

En el principio ya existía el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios Él estaba con Dios en el principio. (Juan 1:1,2)

Jesús, Dios el hijo es la agencia de la Deidad a través de quien todas las cosas fueron hechas:

porque por medio de él fueron creadas todas las cosas en el cielo y en la tierra, visibles e invisibles, sean tronos, poderes, principados o autoridades: Todo ha sido creado por medio de él y para él. Él es anterior a todas las cosas, y todas las cosas por Él subsisten..  (Colosenses 1:16-18)

Y Dios, como el creador de espacio y tiempo, como sostenedor del Universo, es un ser infinito que existe por afuera y más allá de nuestras limitaciones de tiempo y espacio.

Al único y bendito Soberano, Rey de reyes y Señor de señores, al único inmortal, que vive en luz inaccesible, (1 Timoteo 6:15,16 enfasis mio)

Dios, el Creador infinito, vive en una realidad de luz que es inaccesible para seres finitos. Nosotros no podemos acercarnos, no porque Dios puso alguna regla en observancia que prohibe nuestro asceso o algunas barras de seguridad que nos impiden seguir el camino, pero porque es la realidad: Seres finitos simplemente no pueden asimilar y procesar realidades infinitas – es más allá de nosotros.

Por lo tanto, Dios, quien es amor, y deseando la relación más íntima con su creación, sale de su infinidad e interactua con nosotros en nuestra realidad lineal, en nuestro espacio-tiempo. Jesús es el miembro de la Divinidad que, a través de toda la eternidad, ha estado de intermediario, el enlace entre Dios y sus criaturas inteligentes. Jesús es el mediador – el embajador de Dios – Los pensamientos de Dios hechos audibles y visibles a las mentes infinitas.

 Toda la plenitud de la divinidad habita en forma corporal en Cristo; (Colosenses 2:9)

Antes de que Adan pecara, Jesús se manifestaba o aparecía en la forma de sus criaturas creadas, pero Él no habia tomado la naturaleza de sus criaturas. Antes de su encarnación, Jesús retenía todas las prerrogativas y habilidades de la divinidad – se mantenía omnipresente, omnisciente y omnipotente. Jesús tenía en si mismo la habilidad de estar en todos los lugares al mismo tiempo, pero también de estar en todos los tiempos a la vez – significa que Él experimentó la eternidad del pasado y el futuro simultaneamente.

Pero con su encarnación, Jesús no solo apareció como un humano; Él se volvio un humano, fusionando su divinidad con nuestra humanidad.

Porque nos ha nacido un niño, se nos ha concedido un hijo; la soberanía reposará sobre sus hombros, y se le darán estos nombres: Consejero admirable, Dios fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz. (Isaias 9:6)

Esto fue una unión permanente. “Porqué de tal manera amó Dios al mundo que dió a su hijo unigénito”(Juan 3:16) Jesús no fue prestado a la raza humana. Jesús fue dado a la raza humana por siempre para ser uno con nosotros – para ser humano por siempre.

La actictud de ustedes debería ser como la de Cristo Jesús:

Quien, siendo por naturaleza Dios, no consideró el ser igual a Dios como algo a qué aferrarse. Por el contrario, se rebajó voluntariamente, tomando la naturaleza de siervo y haciéndose semejante a los seres humanos. Y, al manifestarse como hombre, se humilló a sí mismo y se hizo obediente hasta la muerte, ¡y muerte de cruz!

Por eso Dios lo exaltó hasta lo sumo y le otorgó el nombre que está sobre todo nombre, para que ante el nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla en el cielo y en la tierra y debajo de la tierra, y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es el Señor, para gloria de Dios Padre.(Filipenses 2:5-12)

Jesús nació en Belén, Él no solamente dejó la infinidad por un poco de tiempo – Él salió de la infinidad por toda la eternidad futura. Jesús en el cielo hoy retiene su humanidad – sin pecado y perfecta – pero todavía restringida por la carne del cuerpo humano. Ahora Jesús envía su representante, el Espíritu Santo, para que haga por Él lo que el solía hacer por Él mismo: Existir en todos los lugares y todos los tiempos.

Pero les digo la verdad: Les conviene que me vaya porque, si no lo hago, el Consolador no vendrá a ustedes; en cambio, si me voy, se lo enviaré a ustedes…..Pero, cuando venga el Espíritu de la verdad, él los guiará a toda la verdad, porque no hablará por su propia cuenta, sino que dirá solo lo que oiga y les anunciará las cosas por venir. Él me glorificará porque tomará de lo mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes. Todo cuanto tiene el Padre es mío. Por eso les dije que el Espíritu tomará de lo mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes. (Juan 16:7, 13-15 enfasis mio)

Está más allá de las palabras humanas describir el infinito sacrificio de Cristo para la salvación de la humanidad. Está más allá de la mente humana comprender la pérdida, y la condecendencia. Está más allá de nosotros porque somos finitos e incapaces de enterderlo, procesarlo, o apreciar la infinidad totalmente.  Podemos escuchar las palabras. Podemos entender el concepto, pero no podemos realmente apreciar la profundidad de este sacrificio.

Solo podemos comtemplar, estudiar, y estrechar nuestro entendimiento, y al hacerlo, creceremos en la apreciación a Dios. Pero este crecimiento, este avance en nuestro conocimiento de lo que Cristo ha hecho, no es ni será completo. Será una experiencia eterna, porque no importa que tanto nos imaginemos, no importa cuanto lo asimilemos, no importa cuanto lo aceptemos, siempre habra más – un almacén infinito de verdad que estará más allá de nuestro actual conocimiento.

A Dios sea la gloria, grandes cosas a hecho Él!

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia
