Moriendo de Hambre - Starving

"Vayan a consultar al Señor por mí, por el pueblo y por todo Judá con respecto a lo que dice este libro que se ha encontrado. Sin duda que la gran ira del Señor arde contra nosotros, porque nuestros antepasados no obedecieron lo que dice este libro ni actuaron según lo que está prescrito para nosotros." 2 Reyes 22:13 NVI

Porque leamos la biblia? Porque es tan importante? La historia nos ensena que en los tiempos cuando gente toma el tiempo para escuchar la voz de Dios atravez de las escrituras inspirados la tendencia es a desviar. La palabra es la luz de Dios y donde no hay luz reina las tenieblas. Una carecteristica de la edad media tambien conocido como la edad oscura es que pocos pudieron leer la palabra de Dios. Durante este tiempo mucho doctrina falsa entro en el cristinismo. No hay que ser legalista en nuestro tiempo devocional pero cuando realmente estamos escuchar y obedecer la palabra de Dios no hay cosa que nos puede satisfacer ese hambre.

"Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD's anger that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us." 1 Kings 22:13 NIV

Why do we read the bible? Why is it so important? History shows us that during the times when people don't take the time to hear the voice of the Lord in His scriptures the tendency is to deviate from Him. The word is the light of God and where there is no light darkness reigns. One charecteristic of the middle ages, also known as the "dark" ages is that the few had access our could read the bible. During this time many false doctrines entered into christianity. We don't have to be legalists about our devotional time in God's word. But when we are reallylistening and obeying the word of God there is no other thing that satisfies that hunger in us.

El Principe y La Pascua -The Prince and The Passover

El día catorce del mes primero deberás celebrar la fiesta de la Pascua. Durante siete días comerás pan sin levadura. Ese día el príncipe deberá ofrecer un ternero como sacrificio por su pecado y el de todo el pueblo. -Ezequiel 45:21-22 (NVI)

Un titulo del mesias es el principe de paz (Isa 9:6). Jesus es el mesias. Y como principe, Jesus ofrecio asi mismo como sacrificio para el pecado de todo el pueblo durante la pascua. Pero no solo por el pueblo de Israel si no para todo la humanidad. Y difrente a los otros principes de Israel. Jesus no tenia pecado. No solo este sacrificio pero todos del los escrituras judias son culminados en el sacrificio de Jesus el sumo sacerdote, el principe, y el cordero.

Esta celebracion siempre ocurre en una luna nueva. Desde Fort Lauderdale la luna el Domingo se lucio asi.

“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering." Ezekiel 45:21-22 (NKJV)

One title for the mesiah is the prince of peace (Isa 9:6). Jesus is the messiah. And as prince, Jesus offered himself as the sacrifice for the sin of all the people during passover almost 2000 years ago. But not only for the people of Israel but also for all of humanity. And unlike the princes or kings of Israel, Jesus did not sin. Not only this sacrifice but all the sacrifice described in the Law are culminated in the sacrifice of Jesus, the high priest, prince and lamb.

I believe passover always starts on a new moon. Here is what it looked like last Sunday.

Mi abuelo, Jose Lamas - Jose Lamas, My grandfather

Mi abuelo se fallecio el martes. Tenia 100 años. Era entomolago en Peru. Aqui esta con mi mama y mi abuela. Estoy con pena pero con paz a la vez porque recibio el Señor antes de morir y porque tuve la opurtunidad de conocerlo bien los ultimos dos años cuando yo vivia en Peru. Ora por mi hermano y mi mama quienes estan llendo a Peru para el velorio y entierro. Ora para que el Señor usa el testimonio de mi abuelo para que otros pueden conocer a Cristo.

My grandfather died on tuesday. He was 100 years old. He was an entymologist. This is him with my mother and grandmother. I am sad but at peace at the same time because he received the Lord before he died and because I had the opportunity to get to know him better the past two years when I was living in Peru. I suspected the last time I saw him two weeks ago would be the last time I would see him on earth. Pray for my brother Daniel and mother Gertrude who are going to Peru for the funeral. Pray that the Lord would use my grandfather's testimony so that others would come to know Jesus.
