El primer día de la semana, muy temprano, se dirigieron a la tumba llevando consigo especias preciosas para ungir el cuerpo del Salvador. No pensaban acerca de su resurrección de los muertos. El sol de su esperanza se había puesto y había anochecido en sus corazones. Mientras caminaban, relataban las obras de misericordia de Cristo y sus palabras de consuelo. Pero no recordaban sus palabras: ‘Os volveré a ver' (Juan 16:22)” (DTG 732). Lee Marcos 16:1 al 8. ¿Qué sucedió y cómo respondió la mujer al principio? Desde el comienzo del Evangelio, el lector sabe que Jesús es el Mesías. Pero en el texto mismo, la primera persona no endemoniada que lo reconoce como tal es Pedro, en Marcos 8:29. ¡Y esta declaración ocurre recién en la segunda mitad del libro! A lo largo del Evangelio de Marcos, Jesús pide a las personas que mantengan en reserva quién es él o sus curaciones milagrosas. En Marcos 1:44, dice a un leproso que no cuente su sanación a nadie. En Marcos 5:43, pide a Jairo y a su esposa lo mismo acerca de la resurrección de su hija. En Marcos 7:36, dice a un grupo que no digan a la gente acerca de su curación de un sordomudo. Y luego ordena a sus discípulos no decir a la gente que él es el Mesías (Mar. 8:30; ver también Mar. 9:9). No cabe duda de que la principal razón por la que Jesús les pedía que guardaran silencio era para disponer del tiempo necesario para terminar su ministerio de acuerdo con el tiempo profético anunciado en Daniel 9:24 al 27. Ahora, en esta escena, aun después de que se les ha dicho que Jesús ha resucitado, las mujeres, temerosas y asombradas, huyen del sepulcro y, al menos en un primer momento, tampoco ellas hablan acerca de lo que ha sucedido. No obstante, el silencio no dura mucho. Al llegar al final del libro de Marcos, leemos lo siguiente: “Y ellos salieron y predicaron en todas partes. Y el Señor los ayudaba, y confirmaba la palabra con las señales que seguían” (Mar. 16:20). De esa manera, el secreto acerca de quién es Jesús y de lo que ha hecho es finalmente dado a conocer ampliamente. El libro concluye diciendo que ellos “predicaron en todas partes”. ¿Por qué no deberíamos guardar silencio acerca de Jesús y de lo que ha hecho? ¿Aquién podrías hablar hoy acerca de Jesús y del Plan de Salvación?

Pero vio que no podría hacerlo y conservar su puesto y sus honores. Antes que perder su poder mundanal prefirió sacrificar una vida inocente. ¡Cuántos, para escapar de la pérdida o del sufrimiento, sacrifican igualmente los buenos principios! La conciencia y el deber señalan un camino, y el interés propio señala otro. La corriente arrastra fuertemente en la mala dirección, y el que transige con el mal es precipitado a las densas tinieblas de la culpabilidad” (DTG 687). “Sobre Cristo como Sustituto y Garante de nosotros fue puesta la iniquidad de todos nosotros. Fue contado por transgresor, para que pudiese redimirnos de la condenación de la Ley. La culpabilidad de cada descendiente de Adán abrumó su corazón. La ira de Dios contra el pecado, la terrible manifestación de su desagrado por causa de la iniquidad, llenó de consternación el alma de su Hijo. Toda su vida Cristo había estado proclamando a un mundo caído las buenas nuevas de la misericordia y el amor perdonador del Padre. Su tema era la salvación aun del principal de los pecadores. Pero en esos momentos, sintiendo el terrible peso de la culpabilidad que carga sobre sí, no puede ver el rostro reconciliador del Padre. Al sentir el Salvador que de él se retraía el semblante divino en esta hora de suprema angustia, atravesó su corazón un pesar que nunca podrá comprender plenamente el hombre. Tan grande fue esa agonía que apenas le dejaba sentir el dolor físico” (DTG 701). PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR:Observa cuán central era la teología de la sustitución para Elena de White (y para la Biblia; ver, por ejemplo, Isa. 53). ¿Por qué es falsa cualquier teología que resta importancia al papel central de la sustitución y de la muerte de Cristo en nuestro lugar, pagando en sí mismo la penalidad por nuestros pecados? 1. ¿Quién o qué es el “Barrabás” solicitado en lugar de Jesús en nuestro mundo hoy? 2. ¿Qué debería enseñarnos la historia de José de Arimatea acerca de no juzgar las apariencias? 3. Repasa Daniel 9:24 al 27. ¿Por qué deberías ser capaz de dar un estudio bíblico acerca de ese pasaje a cualquiera que lo requiriera? ¿Estás en condiciones de hacerlo?

Al mismo tiempo, los ojos de Pedro fueron atraídos hacia su Maestro. En aquel amable semblante leyó profunda compasión y pesar, pero no había ira. “La visión de ese rostro pálido y doliente, esos labios temblorosos, esa mirada de compasión y perdón, atravesó su corazón como una flecha. Su conciencia se despertó. La memoria se activó. Pedro rememoró su promesa de unas pocas horas antes, de que iría con su Señor hasta la cárcel y hasta la muerte. Recordó su pesar cuando el Salvador le dijo en el Aposento Alto que negaría a su Señor tres veces esa misma noche. Pedro acababa de declarar que no conocía a Jesús, pero ahora se dio cuenta, con amargo pesar, de cuán bien lo conocía su Señor y de cuán exactamente había leído su corazón, cuya falsedad desconocía él mismo” (DTG 659). PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR:A la luz de Marcos 14:9, ¿cómo vemos que se está cumpliendo otra de las predicciones de Jesús, algo aparentemente muy improbable dadas las circunstancias en que fue predicho? 1. Compara y contrasta a Judas y Pedro. ¿En qué se parecían y en qué se diferenciaban a la luz de la manera en que actuaron, según el relato de la Pasión? 2. Analiza el significado de la Cena del Señor. ¿Cómo podemos hacerla más significativa en nuestra iglesia y lograr que aumente el número de quienes participan en ella? 3. Reflexiona acerca del hecho de que Dios dijo “no” a la oración de Jesús en Getsemaní. ¿Qué significa el hecho de que Dios nos diga “no”? 4. Aunque Pedro defraudó grandemente a Jesús al negarlo, Jesús no lo desechó. ¿Qué esperanza puedes extraer de este hecho para ti mismo? 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         III TRIMESTRE DEL 2024Narrado por: Gustavo PérezDesde: Málaga, EspañaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 11 DE SEPTIEMBREDEJANDO TODO PARA HUIR DE JESÚS Lee Marcos 14:43 al 52. ¿Qué ocurre aquí que es tan crucial para el Plan de Salvación? Es sorprendente que uno de los colaboradores más cercanos de Jesús lo entregara a sus enemigos. Los evangelios no entran en grandes detalles acerca de la motivación de Judas. Pero Elena de White escribe lo siguiente: “Judas tenía, naturalmente, un fuerte amor por el dinero; pero no siempre había sido lo bastante corrupto para realizar una acción como esta. Había fomentado el mal espíritu de la avaricia hasta que este había llegado a ser el motivo predominante de su vida. El amor al dinero superaba a su amor por Cristo. Al llegar a ser esclavo de un vicio, se entregó a Satanás para ser arrastrado a cualquier bajeza de pecado” (DTG 663). La traición es en sí misma algo que resulta lamentable para todos, incluso para quienes se valen de los traidores (ver Mat. 27:3-7). Pero la acción de Judas es particularmente repugnante porque él procura ocultar su traición bajo el disfraz de la amistad. Él da instrucciones a la muchedumbre para que arresten al hombre a quien bese. Parece que Judas quería que su perfidia quedara oculta de Jesús y de los otros discípulos. El caos se desata cuando la turba arresta a Jesús. Alguien saca una espada (Juan 18:10 y 11 dice que fue Pedro) y corta una oreja al siervo del sumosacerdote. Jesús se dirige a la horda y los reprende por hacer en secreto lo que no se habían atrevido a hacer abiertamente mientras enseñaba en el Templo, pero concluye haciendo referencia al cumplimiento de las Escrituras. Es otra señal de la trama que recorre todo el relato de la Pasión: la voluntad de Dios está llegando a su cumplimiento aunque la voluntad del hombre esté operando para destruir al Mesías. Todos los discípulos huyen, incluso Pedro, quien, sin embargo, reaparecerá siguiendo a Jesús de lejos y metiéndose finalmente en problemas. Marcos 14:51 y 52 registra el hecho de que un joven seguía a Jesús, un dato que no aparece en ningún otro lugar de los evangelios canónicos. Algunos piensan que era Marcos mismo, pero es improbable. Lo destacable es que huyó desnudo. En lugar de dejar todo para “seguir” a Jesús, dejó todo para “huir” de él. Piensa en la temible idea de que la esclavitud a un solo vicio condujo a Judas a hacer lo que hizo. ¿Qué debería decirnos esto acerca del odio al pecado y, por la gracia de Dios, de la victoria sobre él?

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         III TRIMESTRE DEL 2024Narrado por: Gustavo PérezDesde: Málaga, EspañaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES 02 DE SEPTIEMBRENI UNA PIEDRA SOBRE OTRA Lee Marcos 13:1 al 13. ¿Qué dijeron los discípulos en respuesta a la declaración de Jesús acerca del Templo y cuál es la relevancia de su contestación? Como hemos notado, el complejo del Templo era una estructura asombrosamente bella. El historiador judío Flavio Josefo destaca que el Pórtico Real, del lado sur del complejo, tenía 162 pilares de un diámetro tal que hacían falta tres hombres con los brazos extendidos y tomándose de las manos para abarcar uno de ellos (Antigüedades, 15.11.5). Jesús dice que todo será destruido. Una profecía tal, concerniente a esta asombrosa estructura, habrá sin duda sonado al oyente como el fin del mundo. “Al ser atraída la atención de Cristo a la magnificencia del Templo, ¡cuáles debieron de haber sido los pensamientos que guardó para sí el Rechazado! El espectáculo que se le ofrecía era bello en verdad, pero dijo con tristeza: ‘Lo veo todo. Los edificios son de veras admirables. Ustedes me muestran esas murallas como aparentemente indestructibles; pero escuchen mis palabras: Llegará el día en que no será dejada aquí piedra sobre piedra que no sea destruida' ” (DTG 581). Los discípulos quieren saber entonces cuándo se cumplirá la predicción que Jesús ha hecho. Por lo tanto, en Marcos 13:4, un pequeño grupo integrado por Pedro, Santiago, Juan y Andrés le pregunta acerca del momento exacto. Quieren saber cuándo sucederán todas estas cosas y cuál será la señal que indique que están a punto de ocurrir. Lo que resulta llamativo en Marcos 13:5 al 13 es que Jesús dedica la mayor parte del tiempo, no a describir la caída de Jerusalén, sino a advertir a sus discípulos acerca de lo que pueden esperar mientras cumplen su ministerio de establecer la iglesia cristiana temprana. No habría de ser sencillo. En verdad, serán perseguidos, encarcelados y, algunos de ellos, ejecutados. Pero, a lo largo de todo ello, Jesús indica que aún no sería el tiempo. No deben dejarse engañar por los eventos tumultuosos. Además, el Espíritu Santo les dará las palabras para hablar en el momento oportuno, aun cuando la familia y los amigos los abandonen. Lo que podemos aprender de estas palabras introductorias en la profecía de Jesús es que el pueblo de Dios no debe temer el tumulto y la prueba. Debe ser vigilante, pues el Espíritu de Dios lo conducirá a través de la tribulación. ¿Cuál ha sido tu propia experiencia con las pruebas que sobrevienen como consecuencia de seguir a Jesús? Si no has tenido ninguna, podrías tal vez necesitar preguntarte si estás en verdad siguiéndolo?

Ever wondered what it takes to keep a podcast thriving for four years? Join us in this special anniversary episode of the Print On Demand Cast as we look back on our journey since launching on August 31st, 2020. We'll kick things off by sharing some behind-the-scenes stories about the evolution of our logo and branding—from a humble printer ink splatter to a vibrant 80s synth-wave aesthetic that truly captures our spirit. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a slew of rapid-fire dad jokes to keep things light and fun.Think you know everything about print-on-demand? Put your knowledge to the test with our trivia challenge! Discover when Merch by Amazon first opened its doors to eager creatives, and learn about the staggering milestone of Redbubble surpassing $1 billion in payouts to artists. We'll also explore the nitty-gritty of dye sublimation printing and discuss why direct-to-film (DTF) is giving direct-to-garment (DTG) a run for its money. Insights, laughs, and a few surprises are guaranteed as we challenge our expertise and reflect on what we've learned along the way.Finally, we dive into the ever-evolving landscape of the print-on-demand industry and how it's intersected with our personal lives. From battling initial technical hurdles like DTG printhead clogs to adapting to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, we've navigated a dynamic and often unpredictable market. We'll discuss how social media influencers have reshaped the industry, the competitive pressures from platforms like Printify and Printful, and how the COVID-19 pandemic spurred a new wave of home-based entrepreneurs. Plus, hear about our personal transitions, relocations, and even how our hair lengths have changed over these transformative years.

Join Matt and Chris for a trademark 'short' episode as they continue to navigate the complex, occasionally controversial world of Dr. K in this second multi-dimensional episode. This time they take a look at some more recent content and reflect on whether they were wrong to identify Dr. K as such a strong advocate of Ayurvedic medicine. In their investigations, they explore the science of visualisation and manifestation, updated genomic information about the Doshas, and the power of mantras to bend the universe.But primarily they focus on the recent lively discussion between Dr. K and another famous YouTube Doctor, Dr. Mike. Their discussion touched on various topics including the mechanisms of science, the power of consciousness, personalized treatments, and the placebo effect. All good fodder for the DTG grinder even if it ends up, as it so often does, with Chris and Matt gently discussing their points of view about the nature of mind and the (alleged) mystery of subjective experience (we are sorry!).So join us for a thought-provoking ride through scientific criticism, holistic practices, and age-old East vs. West / Alternative vs Science-based medicine debates as we attempt to decipher whether Dr. K is a modern-era internet sage or a charismatic storyteller and alternative medicine advocate.LinksDoctor Mike: Debating The Value Of Eastern Medicine (Ayurveda) | Healthy Gamer Dr. KHeatlhyGamerGG: The Truth About Visualization & ManifestationHealthyGamerGG: Optimize Performance and Develop Self-Understanding with AyurvedaScience is Dope: Should we adopt Ayurveda | An Indian's response | Dr. Mike vs Dr. K
