LOS SIETE "YO SOY" #4
Blog #37 - 1/30/2020
«Yo soy el buen pastor; el buen pastor su vida da por las ovejas.»
¿Quién eres? ¿Qué clase de persona eres? ¿Estás viviendo una vida que otros pueden seguir de forma segura? En la Biblia, ¿qué significa ser un buen pastor? Un buen pastor es moralmente bueno. Debido a su amor por ellos, un buen pastor cuida de su rebaño. Un buen pastor ya está a lo abajo de su vida por sus ovejas.
El pastor que no es dueño de las ovejas es más propenso a huir cuando se enfrenta al peligro. Porque no es dueño de las ovejas que no le importan tanto. Está trabajando para ganar dinero.
Jesús dice que es el buen pastor. En la Biblia, las ovejas representan a Sus seguidores que son la iglesia. Jesús nos dice que ningún hombre puede tener más amor que dar su vida por sus amigos. Jesús hizo esa misma cosa para nosotros. Jesús nos ama tanto que dio Su vida en la Cruz del Calvario por nuestros pecados. Tres días después se levantó de entre los muertos para que pudiéramos tener la vida eterna. No sólo una vida sin fin, pero una calidad de vida que el mundo no puede darnos.
«Yo soy el buen pastor; el buen pastor su vida da por las ovejas.» (Juan 10:11, KJV)

THE SEVEN "I AMs" #7
Blog #40 - 1/30/2020
Have you heard the story of the man who bought a piece of land in order to grow an orange grove? He was shocked when he discovered the orange trees that he planted produced bitter-tasting oranges. He found out the soil could only support bitter-tasting orange trees.What was he going to do? He found a way he could accomplish what he wanted. When the stocks of the bitter-tasting orange trees grew to a certain size, he engrafted the stock of the sweet-tasting orange trees. Little by little, he pruned the branches that produced bitter-tasting oranges. With time,the trees took on the characteristics of the trees that produced sweet-tasting oranges.
For a moment, let's imagine that out lives are like the branches of a tree. When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He engrafted His life in us.When Jesus Christ forgives us of our sins, He prunes away the branches that belonged to our old way of life. As we spiritually grow in Christ, He prunes away more of the branches that belonged to our old way of life. The result is little by little we become more like Him.
Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5, NIV).

BLOG #36 - 1/21/2020
Jesús dijo: "Yo soy la puerta de (para) las ovejas."(Juan 10:7, KJV)
El mensaje de este versículo es acerca de nuestra relación espiritual con Dios. Jesús vino a la tierra para mostrarnos quién es Dios. Es la puerta o el camino a Dios. Por medio de El nosotros, representados por las ovejas, somos correctos con Dios.
Jesús es "la puerta"a través de la cual podemos "entrar y salir y encontrar pastos." (Juan 10:9, KJV)
Los que entremos en la "puerta" que Jesús ha abierto seremos salvos. Heredaremos la vida eterna.
Seremos liberados de la culpa del pecado. Podemos "entrar y salir" porque sabemos que tenemos acceso a un lugar seguro y una vida que es segura.Si realmente ponemos nuestras vidas en manos de Dios, todas nuestras preocupaciónes y temores deben desaparecer. Debemos tener todas cosas que necesitamos para estar espiritualmente sanos.

THE SEVEN "I AMs" #6
Blog #39 - 1/23/2020
Jesus says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
no one comes to the father but through me" (John 14:6, NASB).
On our trip from Jackson, Tennessee to Indianola, Iowa my wife and I decided to take a shortcut through the bootheel of Missouri. What happened? We ended up driving in and out of two counties multiple times. We feared we were lost. We didn't know which way to go.
On multiple occasions, Jesus told His disciples where He was going. Simon Peter didn't understand what the Lord meant. He asked Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:68, NASB)."Jesus is the leader on the highway which leads to God. Only through Him, do we have access to the Heavenly Father.
Jesus is the truth. He is the embodiment of truth. He is the source of truth. The Apostle Paul says, "For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes..." (2 Corinthians 1:20, NASB). That is, we can be confident His words are true.
Jesus is the life. He said to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life..." (John 11:25, NASB). In reference to Jesus the Apostle John says, "In Him was life, and that life was the Light of men"
(John 1:4, NASB). It is a life He gives us which makes alive the joy of eternal life.

LOS SIETE «YO SOY» - 2
Blog 35 - 1/16/2020
En una noche de invierno, cuando estaba cerca del final de mi ruta papel, vi una corona púrpura colgando en la puerta principal de un cliente. La corona púrpura significaba que alguien en esa casa había muerto. Entonces vi el ataúd al pasar delante de mí. Estaba oscureciendo, y tenía miedo de la oscuridad. El atajo fue a través del cementerio. No quería tomar el atajo por mi miedo a la muerte. En cambio, tomé la ruta más larga. Corrí tan rápido como pude de la farola a la farola. En cada farola me detuve a recuperar el aliento, luego miré a mi alrededor para ver si alguien estaba fuera a buscarme. Hice lo mismo en cada farola hasta que entré en mi casa.
"Jesús dijo: Yo soy la luz del mundo. El que me sigue no caminará en tinieblas,
pero tendrá la luz de la vida" (Juan 8:12, NKJV).
El mensaje en Juan 8:12 se refiere a nuestra naturaleza espiritual. Jesús es la «luz del mundo». Su «luz» brilla a través de la oscuridad espiritual. Cuando nos sentimos perdidios y no somos la forma en que Su «luz» espiritual nos ayudará a encontrar el camino. Podemos depender de El porque es un Guia confiable. Es el camino hacia una vida abundante y significativa. Con Su «luz» brillando en nuestras vidas nunca tenemos que sentirnos solos.
Hay algo más que necesitamos saber. Jesús dijo: «El que me «sigue.» ¿Qué significa eso? Si Su «luz» es para brillar sobre nosotros, debemos confiar en El. Debemos comprometer plenamente nuestra vida con El.

THE SEVEN I AMs #5
Blog #38 1/16/2020
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies...everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die" (John 11:11:25-26, NASB).
Jesus says, "He who lives and believes in Me will never die." Does that make sense to you? William Barclay says, "It is not true that a man who believes in Jesus will never die. The man who believes in Jesus faces and experiences physical death in the same way as any other man does."
However, the Bible tells us there are three stages and two transitions of life. The three stages of life are life in the womb, life on earth, and life beyond the grave. The two transitions of life are birth and death. It may seem impossible, but Jesus communicates "physical death is not the end of the road."
God created us with two natures: We have a physical nature and we have a spiritual nature. When we confess our sins to God, invite Him by way of His Holy Spirit to come into our lives, and accept Him as our Lord and Savior He gives us eternal life. It is an eternal life that is spiritual in nature. Have you made that commitment? I assure you that it is worth the commitment!

LOS SIETE "I AMs" #1
Blog #34 - 1/9/2020
"Jesús les dijo: Yo soy el pan de vida..." (Juan 6:35, NVI)
Cuando era niño, mi padre no podía creer cuánta comida podía comer. Incluso después de comer suficiente comida para llenar mi estómago, estaba satisfecho sólo temporalmente.
¿Qué quiso decir Jesús cuando dijo: "Yo soy el pan de vida?"Se refería a algo que es eterno. Un "pan" de naturaleza espiritual. Si tenemos fe y confianza en El, experimentaremos una vida abundante y plena.
Jesús también dijo: "...el que en mí cree, no tendrá sed jamas."{Juan 6:35, NVI) Se ha dicho que "el agua es un símbolo de la satisfacción de nuestra mayor necesidad." Jesús es la fuente de las aguas vivas. Es el único que puede saciar la sed de nuestras almas.
¿Cuál es la clave para vivir una vida abundante y satisfactoria? Es una relación de vida personal diaria con Jesucristo.

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." (John 10:11, KJV)
Who are you? What kind of person are you? Are you living a life that others can follow safely?
In the Bible, what does it mean to be a good shepherd? A good shepherd is morally good. Because of his love for them a good shepherd takes care of his flock. A good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
The shepherd who doesn't own the sheep is more likely to run away when he faces danger. Because he doesn't own the sheep he doesn't care as much. He is working to make money.
Jesus says He is the good shepherd. In the Bible, the sheep represent His followers who are the church. Jesus tells us no man can have greater love than to give his life for his friends. Jesus did that very thing for us. Jesus loves us so much He gave His life on the Cross of Calvary for our sins. Three days later He arose from the dead so we can have eternal life. Not just a life unending, but a quality of life that the world cannot give us.
