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 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

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!

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

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.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.
