QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“It is better to be hurt by the truth than to be comforted with a lie.”~Khaled Hosseini, Afghan-born novelist and physician “We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except that we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.”~John Calvin (1509-1564), Genevan reformer “Take heart sinner, and do not despair. Hope in him whom you fear, flee to him from whom you have fled…. Dear name…of delight, name of comfort to the sinner, name of blessed hope. For what is Jesus except to say Savior? So, Jesus, for your own sake, be to me Jesus.”~Anselm of Canterbury (1033/4-1109), monk, theologian, and archbishop “We obey God not because we are afraid of what He will do to us…. Rather, we obey Him because we are moved by all that He has done for us in Jesus Christ.”~Anthony J. Carter, pastor and author “To see the law by Christ fulfilled, and hear His pardoning voice,Changes a slave into a child, and duty into choice.”~William Cowper (1730-1800), poet and hymnwriter “I don't believe it is wise or truthful to the power of the gospel to identify oneself by the sins of one's past or the temptations of one's present….”~Jackie Hill Perry, writer and hip-hop artist “Justification by faith alone frees me to love my neighbor…for his or her own sake…. Since we no longer have to carry around the intolerable burden of self-justification, we are free ‘to be Christs unto one another,' as Luther put it, to expend ourselves on behalf of one another, even as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us.”~Timothy George & John Woodbridge in The Mark of Jesus “My grand objection to the religious system still held by many… is, that it tends to render Christianity… a system of prohibitions rather than of privilege and hopes, and thus the injunction to rejoice, so strongly enforced in the New Testament, is practically neglected, and Religion is made to wear a forbidding and gloomy air and not one of peace and hope and joy.”~William Wilberforce (1759-1833), British politician and slavery abolitionistSERMON PASSAGEGalatians 2:11-21 (ESV) 1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. 11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” 15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Hebreos 13:5CUANDO JAMES HUDSON TAYLOR, fundador de la Misión al Interior de China, murió en 1905 dejó establecidos unas doscientas misiones, con más de ochocientos misioneros y millas de conversos. ¿Cómo pudo lograr tanto a pesar de todos los desafíos que tuvo que enfrentar?En 1867, Taylor perdió a su hija, Grace, por una enfermedad del cerebro. En 1870, su esposa María Dyer murió pocos días después de dar a luz un hijo varón, que también murió. En varias ocasiones, su vida y la de otros misioneros corrieron peligro durante las revueltas políticas que azotaban a la China en ese tiempo. Y como si todo eso fuera poco, con frecuencia fue objeto de calumnias, ¡algunas de ellas provenientes de otros misioneros! En un momento, fue tanta la presión, que incluso llegó a considerar «la horrible tentación de quitarse la vida».Entonces sucedió un hecho que cambió para siempre su vida. Taylor se encontró en una estación misionera en Chin-kiang, durante el otoño de 1869, cuando leyó una carta de otro misionero, John McCarthy. En su mensaje, McCarthy le reveló un «secreto»: «Dejar que mi amante Salvador cumpla en mí su voluntad. [...]. Permanecer en él, sin luchas ni afanes, puestos los ojos en Jesús, y confiando solo en él para que nos otorgue poder». *Luego Taylor escribiría del gozo que invadió su corazón: «Mientras leí la carta, me di cuenta de todo. “Si somos infieles, él permanece fiel” (2 Tim. 2: 13). Entonces fijé mis ojos en Jesús, y cuando por fe lo vi [...], recordé lo que él dijo: “No te desampararé ni te dejaré”. En vano luchó para permanecer en él, pero no luchó más. ¿No ha prometido él que estará conmigo, que nunca me desamparará ni me dejará?». **Los desafíos y dificultades no desaparecieron, pero James Hudson Taylor había encontrado una fuente de gozo que nadie le pudo arrebatar: la promesa de Uno que había dicho: «No te desampararé ni te dejaré».Y tú, ¿estás «luchando para permanecer en Cristo? No luches más. ¿Lucha el hombre enamorado para ganar el amor de la mujer que ya lo ama? Por supuesto que no. Asimismo, no luches por tener a tu lado a quien te ha prometido estar contigo «todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo». Solo mantente en comunión con el cada día, conecta tu alabanza, y recibe de su gracia. Y cuando los problemas se presenten, recuerda que Jesús nunca te dejará ni te desamparará.¿Cómo podría él dejarte después de todo cuanto sufrió para salvarte? Padre celestial, hoy quiero recordar que nunca me dejarás, y que nada en este mundo me podrá separar de tu amor. ¡Absolutamente nada!*Robert J. Morgan, Nelson Annual Preacher's Sourccbook, Thomas Nelson, 2005, p. 92. **John Woodbridge, editor. Embajadores de Cristo, Moody Press, 1994, pág. 161.

REFLECTION QUOTES “You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.” ~David Foster Wallace (1962-2008), celebrated author “A life of hospitality begins in worship, with a recognition of God's grace and generosity. Hospitality is not first a duty and responsibility; it is first a response of love and gratitude for God's love and welcome to us.” ~Christine Pohl, author and professor “Justification by faith alone frees me to love my neighbor…for his or her own…, not as the calculated means to my own desired ends. Since we no longer have to carry around the intolerable burden of self-justification, we are free ‘to be Christs unto one another,' as Luther put it, to expend ourselves on behalf of one another, even as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us.” ~Timothy George & John Woodbridge, theologian-scholars “He who loves his dream of a community more than Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial…. Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German theologian-pastor “Africans sensed in their hearts that Jesus did not mock their respect for the sacred or their clamor for an invincible Savior…. Christianity helped Africans to become renewed Africans, not remade Europeans.” ~Lamin Sanneh (1942-2019), Gambian, Muslim-born, scholar at Yale “Christ called the church to a ministry of reconciliation. To reconcile all things back to Creator. In the USA this includes the incredibly difficult task of ‘racial conciliation'. Mediating the dispute in a manufactured division (race) that man created solely to oppress and divide.” ~Mark Charles, speaker and writer; born of Dutch and Navajo ancestry “Those who suppose that the doctrine of God's grace tends to encourage moral laxity are simply showing that, in the most literal sense, they do not know what they are talking about. For love awakens love in return; and love, once awakened, desires to give pleasure.” ~J.I. Packer, British-born theologian SERMON PASSAGE John 17:1-5, 22-26 (NASB) 1 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, 2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. 3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was…. 22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 “O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; 26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

What is a biblical definition “social justice” and how does it relate to the gospel? What bearing does the recent conversation about racial reconciliation—and the resulting controversy—have for missionaries ministering to disparate and people groups and ethnicities? How can the church do a better job of addressing social justice and racial issues without proposing leftist or statist solutions? We dive into all of these challenging questions this week with Collin Hansen of The Gospel Coalition. Collin Hansen serves as editorial director for The Gospel Coalition.
