Podcasts about Cana

David Wilkinson is a Christian theologian and Methodist minister who has earned a Ph.D. in astrophysics and another in systematic theology. His expertise as a scientist is in star formation and galaxy evolution. As a theologian he works to build bridges between science and Christianity. He leads the "Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science" project and is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day. His latest book, just released in August is How Does God Work in the World?: Science, Miracle and Mission. To describe the book, I want to quote from his website: “From The Simpsons to a wedding in Cana, from grace to quantum theory, and from the problem of evil to eschatology, David argues that the biblical picture of a God who acts in the world makes sense in the light of modern science, but how God acts cannot be reduced to simple models.” We are honored to have Dr. Wilkinson with us for a conversation about all these things.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast!  In this exploration of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana, we're invited to see beyond the surface-level debate about alcohol and dive into the profound spiritual symbolism at play. The transformation of water into wine isn't just about saving a celebration—it's a vivid picture of Christ's power to fundamentally change us from the inside out. We're challenged to consider: Are we like those stone water pots, filled with our own efforts at righteousness, or have we allowed Jesus to transform the very essence of who we are? This message urges us to examine our hearts and ask if we've truly been born again, reminding us that Christianity isn't about external rituals but about an internal regeneration that only Christ can provide. As we reflect on this, we're called to be living testimonies of God's transformative power in a world desperately in need of hope and change. God bless and have a great week!

Send us a textA quiet yes can reorder a life. We explore how the imitation of Mary moved from early Church whispers to a lived roadmap for modern believers, weaving history, Scripture, and a practical daily rhythm that fits between coffee and carpool. Along the way, we sit with Thomas à Kempis's Marian spirituality, unpack the four-part arc of the Imitation of Mary, and reflect on why the Annunciation, Cana, and the Cross define real discipleship: honest questions, steady trust, generous intercession, and fidelity when everything shakes.We start with the roots—Ambrose, Augustine, and a devotion that grew through monastic practice and lay hunger for something tangible. Then we trace how apparitions, the Rosary, and accessible guides turned admiration into apprenticeship. Thomas's approach keeps Mary close: not a distant ideal, but a companion who teaches humility in ambition, patience in suffering, and focus when prayer is dry. The four-book structure becomes a path: virtues that ground us, sorrows that join us to Christ, intercession that deepens prayer, and a heavenly horizon that strengthens courage for daily faith.You'll also get a simple five-minute routine: choose one short line, talk to Mary honestly, carry a single word into your day, and, when possible, pair it with a decade of the Rosary. It's small, repeatable, and surprisingly steadying. If you're curious about authorship, dates, or how this devotion relates to The Imitation of Christ, we address those questions too, keeping the focus on how to live the insights now.If this conversation helps you take one concrete step toward a more grounded prayer life, share it with a friend who needs hope, subscribe for more thoughtful journeys, and leave a review so others can find it.Click here for rest of this postLink to Imitation of Mary BookOpen by Steve Bailey Support the show

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 12 DE OCTUBREEL CRUCE DEL JORDÁNLos sacerdotes debían ir al frente del pueblo y llevar el arca que contenía la ley de Dios. Y cuando sus pies tocaron los bordes del Jordán, las aguas se separaron comenzando por arriba, y los sacerdotes pasaron llevando el arca que era un símbolo de la presencia divina; y la hueste de los hebreos los siguió. Cuando los sacerdotes llegaron al medio del Jordán, se les ordenó que permanecieran en el lecho del río hasta que pasara toda la hueste de Israel. En esa ocasión la generación de israelitas que vivía en ese momento se convenció de que las aguas del Jordán estaban sometidas al mismo poder que sus padres habían visto manifestarse ante ellos en el Mar Rojo cuarenta años antes. Muchos de ellos habían pasado el Mar Rojo cuando eran niños. Ahora cruzaron el Jordán como hombres de guerra, perfectamente bien equipados para la batalla. Cuando las huestes de Israel cruzaron el Jordán, Josué ordenó a los sacerdotes que salieran del río. Tan pronto como estos, que llevaba el arca del pacto, salieron del río y estuvieron en pie en tierra seca, el Jordán comenzó a avanzar como antes y recuperó todos sus límites previos. Este maravilloso milagro llevado a cabo en favor de los israelitas aumentó grandemente su fe. Para que no fuera olvidado jamás, el Señor intimó a Josué a ordenar a hombres notables, uno de cada tribu, que sacara piedras del lecho del río, en el lugar donde los pies de los sacerdotes habían estado mientras la hueste hebrea lo cru¬zaba, para llevarlos sobre los hombros, y levantar un monumento en Gilgal, a fin de conservar el recuerdo del hecho de que Israel cruzó el Jordán por tierra seca. Después que los sacerdotes hubieron salido del Jordán, Dios retiró su mano poderosa y las aguas se abalanzaron como una tremenda catarata para seguir su curso. Cuando todos los reyes de los amorreos y los cananeos oyeron que el Señor había detenido las aguas del Jordán delante de los hijos de Israel, sus corazones se disolvieron de temor. Los israelitas habían dado muerte a dos de los reyes de Moab, y su cruce milagroso por en medio de las aguas impetuosas y arrolladoras del Jordán los llenaron de tremendo terror. Josué circuncidó entonces a toda la gente que había nacido en el desierto. Después de esta ceremonia celebraron la Pascua en las llanuras de Jericó. "Y Jehová dijo a Josué: Hoy he quitado de vosotros el oprobio de Egipto". Las naciones paganas habían denigrado a Jehová y a su pueblo porque los hebreos no habían poseído la tierra de Canaán que esperaban ocupar inmediatamente después de salir de Egipto. Sus enemigos triunfaron cuando ellos permanecieron peregrinando tanto tiempo en el desierto, y se envalentonaron y ensoberbecieron delante del Señor al declarar que no era capaz de llevarlos a la tierra de Canaán. Pero ahora habían cruzado en seco el Jordán, y ya sus enemigos no podían echarles nada más en cara. El maná había seguido cayendo hasta ese momento; pero ahora que los israelitas estaban a punto de poseer Canaán y comer del fruto de la tierra ya no lo necesitaban más, y dejó de caer (La historia de la redención, pp. 180-182). 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO 12 DE OCTUBREEL CRUCE DEL JORDÁN Lee Josué 3:1-5 y Números 14:41-44. ¿Por qué Dios pidió a los israelitas que se prepararan especialmente para lo que estaba a punto de suceder? Esta es la primera vez que se menciona el arca del pacto en el libro de Josué. Hasta este momento de la narración del Antiguo Testamento, el arca había aparecido en el contexto del Santuario (Éxo. 40:21), en el viaje de Israel desde el Sinaí (Núm. 10:33-36) y en el intento fallido de iniciar la conquista de Canaán (Núm. 14:44). Era el objeto más sagrado del Santuario israelita y contenía tres elementos, cada uno de los cuales expresaba la relación especial de Israel con Dios: (1) Las tablas con los Diez Mandamientos, (2) la vara del sumo sacerdote Aarón y (3) una vasija que contenía maná (Éxo. 16:33; Heb. 9:4). El arca y los preparativos para cruzar el Jordán recordaban a Israel que no iban a entrar en Canaán a su manera y cuando quisieran. La conquista solo tendría éxito si seguían las indicaciones de Dios, y cuando él lo indicara. Dios, a quien se describe entronizado sobre los querubines que cubrían el arca del pacto (Éxo. 25:22; Núm. 7:89), y cuyos movimientos se identifican con los del arca, entra en Canaán delante de los israelitas como Aquel que dirige la conquista. El término traducido como “santificar” (Jos. 3:5) o “consagrar” se refiere a un proceso de purificación similar al que seguían los sacerdotes antes de comenzar su servicio en el Santuario (Éxo. 28:41; 29:1) y como el que realizó el pueblo de Israel antes de la revelación de Dios en el Sinaí (Éxo. 19:10, 14). Esta consagración implicaba el abandono del pecado y la eliminación de todas las impurezas rituales. La misma orden aparece en Números 11:18 en relación con un inminente milagro de Dios. Tal preparación se exigía también antes de librar una batalla (Deut. 23:14). Para que Dios pudiera luchar por Israel, ellos debían mostrarle su lealtad y confiar en él como su Comandante. El milagro de cruzar el Jordán iba a demostrar a los israelitas que se podía confiar en la promesa del Señor de expulsar a los cananeos de la tierra. Aquel que podía asegurar el cruce en seco del Jordán también podía concederles el don de la tierra. Dios no siempre divide el Jordán. Sus intervenciones no siempre son tan evidentes. ¿Cómo crees que podemos desarrollar la preparación espiritual para experimentar y discernir las intervenciones de Dios en nuestro favor? 

Episode 194 - In this episode, Fr Sean Danda and Nathanael Rea reflect on the Wedding Feast of Cana, exploring its significance in the context of faith, intercession, and the new covenant established by Jesus. Through the lens of Mary's role and the miracle of turning water into wine, the discussion emphasizes the importance of trust in Jesus, the transformative power of faith, and the invitation to engage in imaginative prayer. The episode concludes with a call to deepen one's faith and recognize the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.TakeawaysThe Wedding Feast of Cana reveals the importance of faith.Mary's intercession exemplifies trust in Jesus.Jesus' first miracle signifies the new covenant.Faith is essential for experiencing God's miracles.Imaginative prayer can deepen our understanding of scripture.The Holy Spirit represents the new wine of joy.God's generosity is evident in small, everyday matters.Miracles often occur through the hands of faithful servants.The journey of faith is about increasing trust in God.Every covenant seeks a response of faith from humanity.

1 Chronicles 28 speaks of David's charge to Israel and to Solomon. The very important word in both these charges is "IF". Provided they faithfully adhered to the covenant they would be blessed by Yahweh. Ezekiel 37 is one of the greatest prophecies of the resurrection of Israel, from a people subjected to genocide during the Holocaust, to a nation reborn on May 14, 1948. Ezekiel the prophet saw a vision of a valley full of dried human bones, the bones of national Israel. The imagery is graphic and startling. Think as you read it and reflect. Consider the words of verses 13-14(see Romans 11:15-32). They have been revived, but are not yet restored to the people of their Sovereign. This will occur when the Lord Jesus Christ comes and is accepted by them. At that time, they will be reborn and grafted back into fellowship and covenant again. Unfortunately, much suffering will precede that time as chapter 38 tells. Indeed, how near we are to that time. Note the chapter requires a monarchy over them with our Lord as the "King of the Jews". In John 2 we have the first of the signs of the account. When Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt, at the time of the Exodus, their departure was accompanied by miracles, wonders (Hebrew 'Pala' - cp the angel Palmoni - the wonderful numberer) and signs. That Hebrew word is the equivalent of "signs' in the record of John. It took place at Cana, in Galilee. Jesus was there, together with his mother and his disciples of chapter 1. It was perhaps the wedding of a relative. The sign was the turning of water into the highest quality wine. The result was verse 11 - his disciples believing in him and the manifestation of his glory. Between verses 13-22 Jesus cleansed the temple for the first time - doing so again at the end of his ministry. He fulfilled the words of Psalm 69 and gave them the sign of his resurrection after 3 days in the grave. There are many signs in John's record of his visits to Jerusalem which are omitted by the other three accounts. At the end of John 2 we are told Jesus would not commit himself to them (since he knew humans - likely in three ways: 1) what Scripture revealed; 2) experience; 3) the ability to read minds). We need to try to understand the zeal that motivated our Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 3 told of the first encounter between our Lord and Nicodemus, the holder of the second rank in the Sanhedrin ('the teacher'). John records the first of the 3 incidents - ch3; ch7; and ch19. Each is a step in coming to know the Christ (ch3 the man who came by night; ch7 he who first came by night; and ch19 an open disciple, who brought the spices to prepare Jesus' body). The talk centred in the imperative of being born "from above" - firstly by a mind developed by the Word of God 1 Peter 1:22-25 and then by immersion, or burial, in water. The 3rd chapter of John tells us that Jesus is the only man to go to heaven (v13) and salvation comes through belief in a crucified Messiah (v14 cp Numbers 21:4-9). Even John the Baptist acknowledging that Jesus would increase but that he (John) would decrease. B The best-known words of the Bible are found in John 3:16 - but read aloud and ponder verses 16-21. From verses 22 to the chapter's end, we are told of the incomparable greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Daily Dose of Hope October 9, 2025   Scripture - John 4:43-54   Prayer:  Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!  We magnify your precious and powerful name.  How often we forget how mighty you are.  You created all.  You created us.  Thank you, Lord, for who you are.  Most of all, thank you for loving us with all our flaws and brokenness.  In all we do, in who we are, help us to be more like you.  We pray for humility, mercy, and compassion.  Help us see others through your eyes.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up John 4.   Today, we read about one of only three healing miracles in the book of John.  But in this Gospel, Jesus is careful to call them signs, not miracles, and there is an important distinction.  A sign is something that is not only a miracle but it also reveals Jesus' divinity and his mission.  They point to who Jesus is as the Son of God and Messiah.  Jesus himself functions somewhat like a sign in the book of John.  We read in chapter 1 that he was with God in the beginning, he was the Word made flesh, and he makes the invisible God known.   John is really unique from the Synoptic Gospels.  He very intentionally shares seven specific signs that Jesus performs and each one reveals something about Jesus' identity and why he is here.  We already read about Jesus turning the water into wine in Cana, sign #1.  Jesus made a tremendous amount of wine and it was the very best at the wedding, showing the amazing abundance of God in Jesus Christ.  Now, we have Jesus healing the son of an official, demonstrating his willingness and ability to restore health and life.  It's interesting that Jesus ignores the official's first plea and instead kind of talks down to him for his need of signs.   Jesus wasn't crazy about turning the water into wine either.  Each sign so far has been met with what seems like reluctance or ambivalence. Could it be that Jesus is concerned about how these signs will be interpreted?  We know from the other Gospels that signs and miracles often led to Jesus being following by thousands of people.  Might they get caught up in the sign and miss the importance of the one who actually allowed the signs to happen?  Or maybe Jesus doesn't want people to simply come to him for signs of God's favor.  What were God's intentions here?  I do find the wording interesting in John.  I tend to think of all of these signs as miraculous.  Why not call them as such?  I'm wondering if God wants us to see past the miracle here.  God is present in so many other ways in our lives.  Yes, he is present in the miraculous.  But he also gives us many, many other signs.  God gives us signs, nudges, or strong feelings that indicate he is at work in our lives.  He gives us signs about whether or not to take a job, signs about which direction to head in educationally, and signs about how to continue in a relationship.  God is always giving us signs, showing us he is right here, pointing us to him.  It might not seem miraculous, like water into wine, but it's still real and powerful.  Regardless of the sign, God is always trying us to point us toward his love.  Whether he is healing a friend, directing us to a certain job, or giving us the words to say to a friend in need, it's always signs pointing us toward his love.  He loves us and he wants to be involved in our lives.  Is Jesus an everyday presence in your life?  What signs does he give you? Blessings, Pastor Vicki          

Join Pastor Derek as he delves into the story of Jesus' first miracle: turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. This video explores the significance of this event as a sign of Jesus' divine power and its meaning for believers. Discover how this miracle symbolises transformation and the abundant life offered through faith in Christ. Pastor Walker explains the spiritual message behind the miracle, encouraging viewers to invite Jesus into their lives for a personal transformation. The first sign-miracle of Jesus in John 2 was turning water into wine, which was a demonstration of what He will do for us if we believe in Him. This is a picture of our New Birth and our ongoing transformation by the Spirit of God. The way this miracle happened shows that we must give Jesus the right to turn our water into wine, by submitting to His Lordship.

Phil Hudson - At a wedding in Cana, Jesus performed his first sign—turning water into an abundance of exquisite wine. In this moment, his glory is revealed: the good Creator has come as the true Bridegroom, gathering a people to share in the joy of his new creation. As we behold this sign and glimpse his goodness, our hearts are drawn to love and trust him more deeply with our lives.

October 5, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   In this episode Phil leads a focused, fast-paced study through the “hidden highlights” of John chapters 4–7. With limited time the teacher intentionally touches key episodes and themes: the woman at the well, Jesus' miracles in Cana, the royal official's distant-healing, the Bethesda pool miracle, the feeding and Bread of Life discourse, the loss of disciples, and Jesus' teaching style and authority. Chapter 4 revisited: after the Samaritan encounter the message moves to Cana and Capernaum. The royal official from Herod's household brings a desperate faith—his son healed from sixteen miles away—illustrating that Jesus' word is sufficient and that faith can overcome distance. Cross-references (Luke 8:3) and the way news of Jesus spread are noted as factors that moved people to seek him. Chapter 5 highlights the pool of Bethesda and a man who had lain there thirty-eight years. The speaker explores the man's faith and fading hope, the curious tradition of the angel-troubled waters, and Jesus' vital question, “Do you want to be made whole?” The three action verbs Jesus uses—rise, take, walk—become a practical motif for spiritual response, while the ensuing Sabbath controversy exposes how law-focused leaders missed the miracle of mercy. Chapter 6 touches on the feeding of the 5,000 and then centers on the Bread of Life discourse. The episode contrasts the crowd's physical expectations (food, a political king) with Jesus' spiritual offer—food that endures to eternal life. The controversial language about eating Christ's flesh and drinking his blood is examined as a turning point that split casual followers from committed disciples; many left when they could not reconcile a spiritual message with physical expectations. Chapter 7 draws attention to the manner and matter of Jesus' teaching: he spoke with unique authority and drew crowds because his teaching came from the Sender, not from rabbinical training. The speaker reflects on internal and external verification of truth, warns preachers against seeking human praise, and emphasizes the responsibility of listeners to work on their faith. Key takeaways and applications: true faith is more than a desire for signs and material benefits; it is rooted in Christ's word and requires wholehearted commitment. Practical themes—faith that trusts a word at a distance, the renewing power of hope, and the call to “rise, take, walk”—invite listeners to examine motives for following Jesus. The episode closes with the classic challenge: when confused or disappointed, will you abandon Christ, or will you echo Peter's question, “To whom shall we go?” Format: the episode blends biblical exposition, practical illustration, and application aimed at encouraging deeper faith and a renewed commitment to following Jesus wherever he leads.   Duration 43:19

En este contexto, el nombre de Sitim crea una tensión extraordinaria en cuanto al desenlace de toda la historia. ¿Será otro fracaso en la frontera de la Tierra Prometida? ¿O conducirá al tan esperado cumplimiento de la antigua promesa? Lee Juan 18:16-18, 25-27; 21:15-19. ¿Qué paralelismos descubres entre la segunda oportunidad dada a Israel como nación y la que recibió Pedro? El Señor es un Dios de segundas (¡y muchas otras más!) oportunidades. La Biblia llama “gracia” a las oportunidades adicionales. Gracia es simplemente algo que no merecemos. La Biblia está repleta del concepto de gracia (comparar con Rom. 5:2; 11:6; Efe. 2:8). Dios ofrece misericordiosamente a todos la posibilidad de un nuevo comienzo (Tito 2:11-14). Pedro mismo experimentó esa gracia e instó a la iglesia a crecer en ella (2 Ped. 3:18). Y las noticias son aún mejores: tenemos mucho más que una segunda oportunidad. ¿Qué sería de nosotros si así no fuera? Piensa en la segunda oportunidad que Dios concedió a los israelitas de entrar en Canaán, y en la gracia concedida a Pedro después de que negó a su Señor. ¿Qué nos enseñan estos incidentes acerca de la gracia que debemos ofrecer a quienes la necesitan? 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO 04 DE OCTUBRESORPRENDIDOS POR LA GRACIA LEE PARA EL ESTUDIO DE ESTA SEMANA: Josué 2:1-21; Números 14:1-12; Hebreos 11:31; Éxodo 12:13; Josué 9; Nehemías 7:25. PARA MEMORIZAR:“Por la fe no pereció la prostituta Rajab junto con los incrédulos, porque recibió en paz a los espías” (Heb. 11:31, RVA-2015). “¿Por qué lo hice otra vez?”. Quizá todos hayamos dicho eso en más de una ocasión, ya que la historia no es lo único que se repite. Los humanos también volvemos a cometer los mismos errores. Israel tenía ante sí una segunda oportunidad de entrar en la Tierra Prometida, y Josué tomó en serio su misión. El primer paso era tener una idea clara de aquello a lo que se enfrentaban. Para ello, envió a dos espías para que le trajeran información valiosa acerca del territorio a conquistar: su sistema de defensa, su preparación militar, sus reservas de agua y la actitud de la población ante una fuerza invasora. Podría pensarse que la promesa de Dios de entregar la tierra a los israelitas no requería ningún esfuerzo por su parte. Sin embargo, la seguridad del apoyo divino no anulaba la responsabilidad humana. Israel estaba por segunda vez en la frontera de Canaán. Las expectativas eran elevadas. La última vez que Israel había estado en la frontera, con la misma tarea, el resultado había sido un fracaso abismal. Esta semana exploraremos dos de los relatos más fascinantes del libro de Josué y descubriremos su relevancia para nuestra fe hoy. La gracia de Dios tiene infinitas posibilidades de sorprendernos. 

In John 4, Jesus "had to" travel through Samaria. There, He has a conversation with a Samaritan woman at a well, offering her living water that gives eternal life. He also reveals to her that He is the Messiah. She shares her testimony with the whole town, and many believe and are saved. Jesus returns to Cana, and an official from Capernaum travels to ask Jesus to heal his son. Jesus tells him to return home and that his son will live. The man believes Jesus, trusts His word, and returns home to find his son recovering. The fever left him at the exact hour Jesus said that his son was well. Both stories remind us that Jesus is true and trustworthy; He is the promised Messiah who satisfies for eternity, providing for us what we cannot provide for ourselves.For more information on this study, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/JohnFor recommended resources, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/ResourcesFor booking inquiries, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking

Las murallas de las ciudades cananeas parecían inexpugnables y la población de la tierra estaba entrenada para la guerra. A diferencia de ello, los israelitas, simples nómades, no poseían siquiera las máquinas de guerra más primitivas para enfrentarse a las murallas fortificadas. Según los registros históricos, ni siquiera Egipto, la superpotencia de aquellos tiempos, fue capaz de afianzarse en Canaán. No obstante, el llamado a esforzarse y ser valiente no se relaciona aquí solo con la moral para la batalla o con las estrategias bélicas. El valor y la fortaleza eran necesarios para permanecer fieles a la Torá y a sus requisitos específicos, que definían el pacto de Israel con Dios. Lee Efesios 6:10-18. Aunque hoy no se requiere de nosotros que participemos en acciones bélicas, ¿cómo podemos aplicar las palabras de aliento dadas a Josué en nuestras luchas espirituales cotidianas? Los cristianos se enfrentan hoy a desafíos similares a los de Josué en el cumplimiento de la misión que Cristo les ha encomendado; es decir, se les exige que libren una guerra contra sus propias tendencias pecaminosas, contra los principados, potestades y gobernantes de las tinieblas de este mundo y contra las fuerzas de la maldad. Como Josué, también cuentan con la promesa tranquilizadora de la presencia de Cristo: “Yo estoy con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo” (Mat. 28:20). Así como la presencia sustentadora del Señor fue suficiente para contrarrestar los temores de Josué, también debería serlo para desterrar nuestras dudas y ansiedades. Nuestro desafío es conocer al Señor lo suficiente como para confiar en él y en las promesas que nos ha hecho. De allí que lo que más necesitamos es esa relación personal con él. La pregunta crucial para nosotros hoy no es diferente de la que se planteó Josué. ¿Cómo podemos permanecer fieles a lo que dice la Palabra de Dios, incluso cuando eso no sea popular o conveniente?

"A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y a su simiente". Gálatas 3:16. Abraham mismo debía participar de la herencia. Puede parecer que el cumplimiento de la promesa de Dios tarda mucho; pues "un día delante del Señor es como mil años y mil años como un día;" puede parecer que se demora, pero al tiempo determinado "sin duda vendrá; no tardará". 2 Pedro 3:8; Habacuc 2:3. La dádiva prometida a Abraham y a su simiente incluía no solo la tierra de Canaán, sino toda la tierra. Así dice el apóstol: "No por la ley fue dada la promesa a Abraham o a su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe". Romanos 4:13. Y la Sagrada Escritura enseña expresamente que las promesas hechas a Abraham han de ser cumplidas mediante Cristo. Todos los que pertenecen a Cristo, "ciertamente la simiente de Abraham" son, "y confirme a la promesa los herederos", herederos de la "herencia incorruptible, y que no puede contaminarse, ni marchitarse", herederos de la tierra libre de la maldición del pecado. Porque "el reino, y el señorío, y la majestad de los reinos debajo de todo el cielo", será "dado al pueblo de los santos del Altísimo;" y "los mansos heredarán la tierra, y se recrearán con abundancia de paz". Gálatas 3:29; 1 Pedro 1:4; Daniel 7:27; Salmo 37:11. Dios dio a Abraham una vislumbre de esta herencia inmortal, y con esta esperanza, él se conformó. "Por fe habitó en la tierra prometida como en tierra ajena, morando en cabañas con Isaac y Jacob, herederos juntamente de la misma promesa: porque esperaba ciudad con fundamentos, el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios". Hebreos 11:9, 10. De la descendencia de Abraham dice la Escritura: "Conforme a la fe murieron todos estos sin haber recibido las promesas, sino mirándolas de lejos, y creyéndolas, y saludándolas, y confesando que eran peregrinos y advenedizos sobre la tierra". Tenemos que vivir aquí como "peregrinos y advenedizos", si deseamos la patria "mejor, es a saber, la celestial". Los que son hijos de Abraham desearán la ciudad que él buscaba, "el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios". Vers. 13, 16 (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 166, 167). [O]yó la voz de Dios diciéndole que no esperase la inmediata posesión de la tierra prometida, y anunciándole los sufrimientos que su posteridad tendría que soportar antes de tomar posesión de Canaán. Le fue revelado el plan de redención, en la muerte de Cristo, el gran sacrificio, y su venida en gloria. También vio Abraham la tierra restaurada a su belleza edénica, que se le daría a él para siempre, como pleno y final cumplimiento de la promesa (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 131, 132). 

In this episode of The Follow Up, four pastors sit down together for a deeper conversation on John 2:1–12 — the wedding at Cana and Jesus' first miracle. They explore the cultural setting of first-century Jewish weddings, the theological depth of Jesus turning water into wine, His surprising interaction with Mary, and what this miracle reveals about His identity and mission.Key Topics CoveredCultural differences between ancient weddings and modern onesWhy wine carried both practical and spiritual significanceThe symbolism of Jesus as the true BridegroomMary's model of faith and obedienceJesus' timing and the meaning of “My hour has not yet come”The disciples' growing faith and the revelation of Jesus in John's GospelPractical takeaways: trust, surrender, and beholding ChristTimestamps00:00 – Welcome & introductions00:37 – Jewish weddings explained02:16 – Why Jesus' first miracle matters03:35 – The symbolism of wine05:02 – Mary's faith: “Do whatever He tells you”07:19 – Why wine was central in Jewish culture08:14 – “My hour has not yet come”11:24 – Jesus redefining family & faith13:22 – What John reveals about Jesus so far19:19 – One-sentence takeaways22:19 – Closing reflections

Send us a textThe morning the DEA walked into a small Charleston clinic, a life split in two. One moment a respected physician, the next a number, a cell, and a label that would follow forever. What unfolded after the raid wasn't a neat comeback—it was cold floors, no visitors, and a verse on loop: “Be anxious for nothing.” And from that stripped place, a different kind of story took root.We sit with a raw account of shock, shame, and the slow work of grace. You'll hear about the Christian group that showed up with toiletries, the radio sermon that landed like a lifeline, and the hard decision to keep living when despair felt easier. We talk plainly about what a felony changes—travel bans, lost rights, doors that stay closed—and what it doesn't: the capacity to love, to learn, to serve without applause. Along the way, we widen the lens to the “but God” pattern pulsing through Scripture—the wine gone at Cana, the empty baskets before thousands, the Red Sea at their backs, the tomb sealed shut—moments where human effort ends and mercy begins.From there, we turn to love as first principle. Not sentiment, but a way of moving through the world when fear and rejection press in. We unpack how love makes the other virtues possible, why obedience isn't wasted even when it's refused, and how joy and humor are not escapes from pain but signs that healing is taking hold. The conversation is honest, warm, and unscripted—part testimony, part teaching, part family table. If you've ever felt defined by your worst day, or wondered where God is when the bottom falls out, this one is for you.Subscribe, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with your own “but God” moment—we'd love to hear it.Support the show

Pathway to a Miracle | Pastor Isaac Sastry This week we were blessed to hear from guest speaker Pastor Isaac Sastry from South India, who brought a powerful message titled Pathway to a Miracle from John 2:1–11. In this message, Pastor Isaac unpacks the story of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana and shows us the steps that lead to breakthrough: 1️⃣ Seek the Problem (Spiritual Awareness) — Recognizing the real issue beneath the surface. 2️⃣ Seek the Power (Turn to Jesus) — Bringing our burdens to the only One who can transform them. 3️⃣ Walk in Obedience — Doing whatever He tells us, even when it doesn't make sense. 4️⃣ Walk by Faith — Trusting God's process when the outcome is still unseen. With biblical insight and practical application, Pastor Isaac reminds us that miracles aren't just about divine intervention—they're about aligning our awareness, obedience, and faith with Jesus, the One who sees the big picture. Tune in and discover your own pathway to a miracle.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         III TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES 29 DE SEPTIEMBRE¡PASA! ¡POSEE! ¡REPARTE! ¡SIRVE! Lee Josué 1. ¿Qué podemos aprender acerca de la estructura del libro a partir de este capítulo inicial? El primer capítulo de Josué sirve de introducción a todo el libro y comprende cuatro discursos que corresponden a las secciones principales del documento: la travesía (Jos. 1:2-9), la conquista (Jos. 1:10, 11), la distribución de la tierra (Jos. 1:12-15) y el servicio mediante la obediencia a la ley (Jos. 1:16-18). El libro de Josué puede interpretarse como una serie de iniciativas divinas en las que Dios le encomienda a Josué una tarea específica relacionada con la conquista de Canaán. Todas ellas se reconocen más adelante en el libro tras su conclusión exitosa. Finalmente habrían de cumplirse las promesas de Dios relacionadas con la ocupación de la tierra. A partir de entonces, la responsabilidad de conservarla estaría en manos de los israelitas, y ello solo sería posible mediante la fe verdadera y la obediencia resultante de esa fe. Las iniciativas divinas que se expresan en los verbos “pasar”, “poseer” y “repartir” son adecuadamente respondidas por la obediencia del pueblo, que deriva de la iniciativa final de Dios: el servicio. El libro de Josué consta de cuatro secciones principales, cada una caracterizada por un concepto específico que se expresa a través de la presencia dominante de una palabra hebrea: 1. Pasar (Jos. 1:1-5:12)2. Poseer (Jos. 5:13-12:24)3. Repartir (Jos. 13:1-21:45)4. Servir (Jos. 22:1-24:33) De esta manera, la estructura misma del libro transmite su mensaje principal: Las iniciativas de Dios no se realizan automáticamente, sino que requieren la respuesta fiel de su pueblo. Es decir, en vista de todo lo que Dios ha hecho por nosotros, incluyendo lo que nosotros no podemos hacer, somos llamados a realizar lo que sí podemos: obedecer a Dios poniendo por obra lo que nos ordena. Esto ha sido siempre así a lo largo de la historia sagrada, y también en el presente. Por ejemplo, la representación del pueblo de Dios de los últimos tiempos en Apocalipsis 14:12 transmite la misma idea: la fe en lo que Dios ha hecho por nosotros conduce a la obediencia. Piensa en algunas de las promesas de la Palabra de Dios que más aprecias. ¿Qué tipo de respuesta requieren de tu parte para que se hagan realidad?

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 27 DE SEPTIEMBRELA FÓRMULA DEL ÉXITODespués de la muerte de Moisés, Josué había de ser el dirigente de Israel que tendría que conducirlos a la tierra prometida. Había sido su primer ministro durante la mayor parte del tiempo que los israelitas dedicaron a peregrinar por el desierto. Había visto las maravillosas obras realizadas por Dios por medio de Moisés, y comprendía bien la disposición del pueblo. Era uno de los dos espías que fueron enviados a explorar la tierra prometida, y uno de los dos que dio un fiel informe de su riqueza y que los animó a poseer la tierra con el poder de Dios. Estaba bien calificado para llevar a cabo esa importante tarea. El Señor prometió a Josué que estaría con él como había estado con Moisés, y que obraría para que Canaán le resultara fácil de conquistar, con la condición de que fuera fiel y guardara todos sus mandamientos. Él estaba preocupado por saber cómo cumpliría su comisión de conducir al pueblo a la tierra de Canaán, pero estas palabras de ánimo disiparon sus temores. Josué mandó a los hijos de Israel que se prepararan para un viaje de tres días, y ordenó a todos los hombres de guerra que estuvieran listos para la batalla. "Entonces respondieron a Josué, diciendo: Nosotros haremos todas las cosas que nos has mandado, e iremos adondequiera que nos mandes. De la manera que obedecimos a Moisés en todas las cosas, así te obedeceremos a ti; solamente que Jehová tu Dios esté contigo, como estuvo con Moisés. Cualquiera que fuere rebelde a tu mandamiento, y no obedeciere tus palabras en todas las cosas que le mandes, que muera; solamente que te esfuerces y seas valiente". El cruce del Jordán por parte de los israelitas debía ser milagros. "Y Josué dijo al pueblo: Santificaos, porque Jehová hará mañana maravillas entre vosotros. Y habló Josué a los sacerdotes, diciendo: Tomad el arca del pacto, y pasad delante del pueblo. Y ellos tomaron el arca del pacto y fueron delante del pueblo. Entonces Jehová dijo a Josué: Desde este día comenzaré a engrandecerte delante de los ojos de todo Israel, para que entiendan que como estuve con Moisés, así estaré contigo" (La historia de la redención, pp. 179, 180). El poderoso Dios de Israel es nuestro Dios. En él podemos confiar, y si obedecemos sus requerimientos, obrará por nosotros tan señaladamente como lo hizo por su antiguo pueblo. Todo el que procure seguir el camino del deber se verá a veces asaltado por la duda e incredulidad. El camino estará a veces tan obstruido por obstáculos aparentemente insuperables, que ello podrá descorazonar a los que cedan al desaliento; pero Dios les dice: Seguid adelante. Cumplid vuestro deber cueste lo que costare. Las dificultades de aspecto tan formidable, que llenan vuestra alma de espanto, se desvanecerán a medida que, confiando humildemente en Dios, avancéis por el sendero de la obediencia (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 466).

We begin John 2 by discussing Jesus' first miracle at the wedding at Cana; including how Jesus works and how those around Him responded.

September 21, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode walks through John 2 and the opening of John 3, unpacking the wedding at Cana and the first recorded sign of Jesus, plus the immediate aftermath in Jerusalem and the first encounter with Nicodemus. The speaker draws on historical detail and scripture to give listeners cultural context for first-century weddings, the process of grape harvesting and winemaking, and the Jewish purification vessels mentioned in the text. Phil examines the Miracle at Cana in detail: Jesus turning water into wine, the six stone jars, and the master of the feast's reaction. The episode highlights the theological and practical questions raised by the passage—especially whether the wine was intoxicating—bringing in commentary from Clark and David Jones and interaction with audience members who weigh in on whether the sign emphasizes taste, quality, or moral concerns about alcohol. The teaching then moves to Jesus' cleansing of the temple: the presence of animals for sacrifice, money changers, and the economic abuses associated with temple commerce. The speaker explains why John records a temple-cleansing early in Jesus' ministry (noting John's chronological approach) and emphasizes the symbolic and authoritative nature of Jesus' actions. The episode closes by introducing John 3 and the nighttime visit of Nicodemus. The lecturer explains the distinction Jesus makes between physical birth and spiritual rebirth—"born of water and the Spirit"—and stresses that Nicodemus's confusion reveals a common misunderstanding of spiritual realities. Key takeaways include Jesus' knowledge of hearts, the purpose of signs, and the centrality of spiritual rebirth for entering God's kingdom. Throughout the episode the presenter references scriptural cross-references, historical sources, and audience Q&A, and previews the next session on John 3:16. Listeners can expect thoughtful historical background, theological reflection, and practical applications for interpreting these foundational accounts. Duration 45:51

September 14, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   In this episode we begin a focused study on the Gospel of John. The host opens with an apology for a classroom mix-up and then lays out why John's account is unique: its emphasis on the deity of Christ, its faith-building purpose, and its role as a spiritual, testimonial gospel written to a broad audience as the church spread through the Roman world. This introduction explains John's key verses (John 20:30–31 and John 21), his use of Passover to establish timeline, and how John complements the other gospels—Matthew (kingship), Mark (service), Luke (humanity), and John (heavenly insight). Topics covered include the characteristics of John's Gospel (personal encounters and multitudes, simple yet profound Greek, and the fatherhood of God), the Logos concept in chapter 1, and five great truths distilled from John 1:1. The episode highlights Jesus' unique miraculous insight—examples include Nathanael under the fig tree, the woman at the well, the healed blind man, and Lazarus raised after four days—showing how these signs validate Christ as the Son of God. The host outlines John's record of eight key signs and many exclusive teachings: Nicodemus and the new birth, the woman of Samaria, the Good Shepherd, the Farewell Discourses (chs. 14–16), and the intercessory prayer (ch. 17). Episode guests Barrett and Jeremy are introduced as fellow teachers who will handle other sections of John's 21 chapters. Practical application threads the talk: faith comes by hearing the Word, miracles are written so people might believe, and Christians are urged to respond to persecution and evil with prayer, compassion, and steadfast witness. The host also previews the next session on miracles, especially the wedding at Cana, and closes with pastoral encouragement to live out the truths of John in difficult times.   Duration 42:42

En esta semana, nos adentramos en la conquista del norte de Canaán por Josué y el ejército de Israel. Este capítulo nos muestra cómo Dios continúa cumpliendo sus promesas a Israel, a pesar de enfrentar enemigos aparentemente más fuertes y numerosos.

The miracles of Jesus are some of the most powerful and profound moments in his earthly ministry. But these weren't simple party tricks: they were an announcement that the Kingdom of God has arrived. Each one is a sign - a mini-version of something ultimate - which revealed the wonder of who Jesus is and all that he has done, is doing, and will do for all of creation. This week, Rich kicks off the series by looking at what signs are and why they matter, and by exploring the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana.

"E Isaque chamou a Jacó, e abençoou-o, e ordenou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Não tomes mulher de entre as filhas de Canaã;Levanta-te, vai a Padã-Arã, à casa de Betuel, pai de tua mãe, e toma de lá uma mulher das filhas de Labão, irmão de tua mãe;E Deus Todo-Poderoso te abençoe, e te faça frutificar, e te multiplique, para que sejas uma multidão de povos;E te dê a Bênção de Abraão, a ti e à tua descendência contigo, para que em herança possuas a terra de tuas peregrinações, que Deus deu a Abraão." Gênesis 28:1-4

Sunday August 31, 2025: A key in your hand doesn't open a door by itself. It's not just the truth you know, but the truth you are intimate with in union with Jesus. When we partner with the Holy Spirit in expectation, doors open and oil flows.We looked at the boy's lunch in John 6, the widow's jars in 2 Kings 4, and the empty vessels filled in Cana. In every story, God's abundance was only limited by human preparation. The oil never ran out — it only stopped when there were no more jars to fill.Union is not passive. It's participation. It's bringing our little, setting the table, and watching the Father multiply it beyond measure.This teaching is a call to live with hearts full of expectation, to prepare space for what the Father wants to pour out, and to partner with the Spirit in the joy of union.

John 2 marks the beginning of the first section of the gospel where he shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish hopes, using four fixtures in the Jewish faith. Jesus begins his public ministry at a wedding in Cana where He turns water into wine, using the jars intended for the Jewish rites of purification. John then tells the story of Jesus cleansing the temple, but pairs it with a conversation with Jewish religious leaders about the destruction of the temple. All of this reminds us that He is faithful, and we now live under the New Covenant.For more information on this study, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/JohnFor recommended resources, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/ResourcesFor booking inquiries, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking 

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 10th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Exodus 4:3: And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” That was the rod that Moses was holding. The Lord said, “Cast it on the ground” and it became a serpent. That, my dear friend, is a miracle. Then we go right to the New Testament to the Gospel of John 2:11:”This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.” Jesus turned the water into wine at the marriage feast of Cana. The Bible says, “and His disciples believed in Him.”We have a saying at Shalom, it goes like this: “One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons.” Isn't that true? The Lord said to Moses, “Cast the stick onto the ground” and it turned into a snake, then the Lord said, “Put your hand in your breast under your clothes, and then pull it out,” and it was leprous, white with leprosy. Then the Lord said, “Put your hand back into your clothes, to your breast, and pull it out a second time”, and it was clean and clear. Then the third thing He said, “Take some water, pour it on the ground and it turned into blood.”Folks, I want to say today that I believe in miracles. There are three miracles that the Lord gave Moses to prove to Pharaoh that God had sent him. What about you today? Do you believe in miracles? I want to pray today for an alcoholic who is listening to this message. I want to pray for a drug addict caught in substance abuse, and I want to pray for a miracle in your life today, and I want you to write to me and tell me what has happened. There is an old song that I heard the other day, an old Country and Western song, the type that I really love and this old man was singing a beautiful song from his heart and he said that God turned the wine back into water for him. Isn't that beautiful?Father, I want to pray today for that man, that woman, who is suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, substance abuse. In Jesus' name, I am believing for a miracle in their lives. Lord, turn it around, set them free, give them a new life.Until next time, Jesus bless you and goodbye.

MARTES 9 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA “Después de la muerte de Aod, los hijos de Israel volvieron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová. Y Jehová los vendió en mano de Jabín rey de Canaán, el cual reinó en Hazor; y el capitán de su ejército se llamaba Sísara, el cual habitaba en Haroset-goim. Entonces los hijos de Israel clamaron a Jehová, porque aquel tenía novecientos carros herrados, y había oprimido con crueldad a los hijos de Israel por veinte años.” (Jueces 4:1-3) Débora reunía todas las condiciones que Dios necesitaba para devolverle al pueblo la fe y la fidelidad que había perdido; y supo hacerlo. Solo que era la consecuencia de “hacer lo malo” delante de Dios. Causa tristeza el hecho de que, para que se volvieran a Dios, Él tuviera que permitir que sus enemigos tomaran ventaja sobre ellos. Pero causa asombro que los buenos tiempos que Dios nos proporciona son los que nos hacen alejarnos de Él. Sentirnos cómodos y seguros, pero no en Dios, nos lleva a alejarnos de Él, del culto, y abandonar el tiempo que debemos darle a Dios. Que el Espíritu Santo, el mismo que guiaba a Débora, sea quien nos convenza de cuánto necesitamos ser fieles a Dios. (Gina Sánchez) -- Te damos la bienvenida a nuestras reflexiones diarias.

Step into the story of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana, where water was transformed into wine and an ordinary moment became something extraordinary. In this episode, Pastor Alex invites us to see the deeper meaning of this familiar story from the Gospel of John. Together we'll reflect on joy, God's overflowing generosity, and the call to bring our everyday needs—big or small—to Jesus. No matter if life feels full of celebration or heavy with challenge, we'll be reminded that God's presence meets us right where we are with grace, hope, and the promise of new beginnings. Come and discover again that in Christ the old has gone, the new has come, and there is always more than enough.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 08 DE SEPTIEMBRELA IDOLATRÍA Y EL MALDurante este período de espera, tuvieron tiempo para meditar acerca de la ley de Dios que habían oído, y preparar sus corazones para recibir las futuras revelaciones que Moisés pudiera hacerles. Pero no dedicaron mucho tiempo a esta obra. Si se hubieran consagrado a buscar un entendimiento más claro de los requerimientos de Dios, y hubieran humillado sus corazones ante él, habrían sido escudados contra la tentación. Pero no obraron así y pronto se volvieron descuidados, desatentos y licenciosos. Esto ocurrió especialmente entre la "multitud mixta" (V.M.) Sentían impaciencia por seguir hacia la tierra prometida, que fluía leche y miel. Les había sido prometida a condición de que obedecieran; pero habían perdido de vista ese requisito. Algunos sugirieron el regreso a Egipto; pero ya fuera para seguir hacia Canaán o para volver a Egipto, la masa del pueblo resolvió no esperar más a Moisés. Sintiéndose desamparados debido a la ausencia de su jefe, volvieron a sus antiguas supersticiones. La "multitud mixta" fue la primera en entregarse a la murmuración y la impaciencia, y de su seno salieron los cabecillas de la apostasía que siguió. Entre los objetos considerados por los egipcios corno símbolos de la divinidad estaba el buey, o becerro; y por indicación de los que habían practicado esta forma de idolatría en Egipto, hicieron un becerro y lo adoraron. El pueblo deseaba alguna imagen que representara a Dios, y que ocupara ante ellos el lugar de Moisés. Dios no había revelado ninguna semejanza de sí mismo, y había prohibido toda representación material que se propusiera hacerlo. Los extraordinarios milagros hechos en Egipto y en el mar Rojo tenían por fin establecer la fe en Jehová como el invisible y todopoderoso Ayudador de Israel, como el único Dios verdadero. Y el deseo de alguna manifestación visible de su presencia había sido atendido con la columna de nube y fuego que había guiado al pueblo, y con la revelación de su gloria sobre el monte Sinaí. Pero estando la nube de la presencia divina todavía ante ellos, volvieron sus corazones hacia la idolatría de Egipto, y representaron la gloria del Dios invisible por "la imagen de un buey" (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 325, 326). Tan solo unos días antes, la presencia del Señor se había manifestado con tal poder que estaban terriblemente asustados y pedían que Moisés escuchara las palabras de Dios y luego les hablara de lo mismo. Pero ahora querían algo visible en lo que pudieran confiar. Podrían haber aprovechado ese momento para aprender lecciones preciosas que el Señor estaba dispuesto a darles si hubieran confiado plenamente en él. Pero el resultado de sus murmuraciones e incredulidad fue que Aarón les hizo un becerro de oro para representar a Dios. Proclamó que este ídolo era Dios, y se creó un gran entusiasmo por este falso dios. Si en vez de hacer esto, les hubiera recordado la maravillosa liberación que Dios había obrado en su favor, y todas las mentes se hubieran sentido impulsadas a expresar gratitud a Dios por todas sus ricas misericordias al liberar a su pueblo de la esclavitud egipcia, se habrían colocado en terreno ventajoso para glorificar al Señor Dios que había obrado tan maravillosa liberación de la degradación y la esclavitud (The Review and Herald, 6 de septiembre, 1906, párr 12, 13).

Full Text of ReadingsTwenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 123The Saint of the day is Saint BartholomewSaint Bartholomew’s Story In the New Testament, Bartholomew is mentioned only in the lists of the apostles. Some scholars identify him with Nathanael, a man of Cana in Galilee who was summoned to Jesus by Philip. Jesus paid him a great compliment: “Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him” (John 1:47b). When Nathanael asked how Jesus knew him, Jesus said, “I saw you under the fig tree” (John 1:48b). Whatever amazing revelation this involved, it brought Nathanael to exclaim, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel” (John 1:49b). But Jesus countered with, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this” (John 1:50b). Nathanael did see greater things. He was one of those to whom Jesus appeared on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection (see John 21:1-14). They had been fishing all night without success. In the morning, they saw someone standing on the shore though no one knew it was Jesus. He told them to cast their net again, and they made so great a catch that they could not haul the net in. Then John cried out to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When they brought the boat to shore, they found a fire burning, with some fish laid on it and some bread. Jesus asked them to bring some of the fish they had caught, and invited them to come and eat their meal. John relates that although they knew it was Jesus, none of the apostles presumed to inquire who he was. This, John notes, was the third time Jesus appeared to the apostles. Reflection Bartholomew or Nathanael? We are confronted again with the fact that we know almost nothing about most of the apostles. Yet the unknown ones were also foundation stones, the 12 pillars of the new Israel whose 12 tribes now encompass the whole earth. Their personalities were secondary—without thereby being demeaned—to their great office of bearing tradition from their firsthand experience, speaking in the name of Jesus, putting the Word Made Flesh into human words for the enlightenment of the world. Their holiness was not an introverted contemplation of their status before God. It was a gift that they had to share with others. The Good News was that all are called to the holiness of being Christ's members, by the gracious gift of God. The simple fact is that humanity is totally meaningless unless God is its total concern. Then humanity, made holy with God's own holiness, becomes the most precious creation of God. Saint Bartholomew is the Patron Saint of: Plasterers Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
