Ahora tenemos que darle forma a lo que algun@s han comenzado a llamar; La Iglesia en Casa. Aunque yo me sigo preguntando; ¿qué hacen quienes no tienen un hogar? Por esto a la misma vez, estoy declarando desde hoy en nuestra Iglesia Santa Cruz una jornada de cuaresma de oración, ayuno y leer la Biblia en el Tiempo del Coronavirus.
The Church
Enviado por holyroodchurch el Enero 31, 2020 - 14:07
Good morning, happy Friday and blessings. Today I woke up with this question in my mind: What should I do for love? And I began to reflect on the biblical narrative of John (15: 9-17) which says: My commandment is this: Love one another as I have loved you. The greatest love a person can have is to give
his or her life for his or her friends. You are my friends, if you do what I send you. I have no doubt when I say that feelings are complicated, and we often keep them inside. There is a need to learn to express our feelings to our loved ones to show them daily that we care. But at the same time, I have to look for ways on how to include in my
list of people that I have to love that fall under the category of enemies. The mandate is biblical. Anyway, I remind you that the worst feeling is the feeling of lost time or the feeling that things were not said.
But, it seems important to me that we can identify the model of Friendly Church that Jesus is trying to implement. If as a Church we are clear about this concept of friendship, then we can go out to evaluate ourselves and evaluate our Church.
Let's look at it in this reflective context: A friendly Church is like health; we never realize its true value until we lose it. Cultivating a friendship requires dedication and time. A true friendship is one that enters when all else leaves. A friendly Church is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accompanies you in your achievements and your failures, celebrates your joys, shares your pain and never judges you for your mistakes. A friendly Church is not one that dries your tears when you cry, but the one that does everything possible so that you do not shed any. I have a question for you: Is our Church a friendly Church? Remember what Jesus told us: I was a stranger, and you gave me accommodation ... Matthew 25:35.
Jesus in his friendly Church model tells us that the friend gives his or her life for her or his friend, just as he did. Now I ask you; As a church, what would we do for love? Jesus' answer is: The greatest love a person can have is to give his or her life for her or his friends.
Blessings
