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 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!

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 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., USA

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

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 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

Testimony 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

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.”
