The Good Samaritan

Luke 10:25-37
King James Version
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Stephen's Death

  Understanding Matthew 16:25 In the King James Version of the Bible, Matthew 16:25 beautifully encapsulates a powerful spiritual paradox: "For whoever seeks to save their life will lose it; but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." It's a thought-provoking reminder that sometimes, in the quest for self-preservation and comfort, we might actually miss out on the deeper, more profound life that comes from surrendering ourselves for a greater purpose. The Heartwrenching Death of Stephen Now, if we shift gears a bit and dive into Acts 7:58-60, we find ourselves facing one of the most intense moments in the early Christian church – the execution of Stephen. Stephen wasn’t just your average believer; he was one of the very first deacons appointed to help with the needs of the early church. People recognized him for his incredible faith, wisdom, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in his life. Unfortunately, this great calling came at a high price. God's Hol...

Poder de Oración

La oración es un acto tan sincero y poderoso; es básicamente nuestra manera de acercarnos al Ser Supremo, ¿verdad? Piénsalo como una petición profunda y significativa, como una carta de amor a Dios donde le expresamos nuestras esperanzas, deseos e incluso nuestras preocupaciones. Cuando hablamos de una oración basada en la Palabra de Dios, destacamos que esta es realmente la única defensa sólida que tenemos contra los desafíos invisibles que la vida nos presenta. Es como blandir una espada espiritual contra cualquier negatividad que pueda surgir. Para muchos cristianos, la oración no solo se anima; ¡es un salvavidas! Es la fuente de consuelo y fortaleza que nos ayuda a navegar los altibajos de la vida. Y aquí está lo mejor: la oración no es solo parcial. No es como si estuviéramos ahí de pie dando un monólogo esperando una respuesta. ¡Para nada! La oración es una vía de doble sentido, un diálogo donde llevamos nuestras preocupaciones y sentimientos a Dios y escuchamos con sinceridad lo...

cubierta de cabeza

  1 Corintios 11:4-13 RV 1909 4. Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza. 5. Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese. 6. Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase. 7. Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón. 8. Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón. 9. Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón. 10. Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener señal de potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles. 11. Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor. 12. Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios. 13. Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta? Comentario: Cuando un hombre ora o profet...
