A parábola da Rede/ The parable of the Net



O que eu preciso dizer é o seguinte, que foi outra leitura que eu fiz no dia ontem que está em Mateus 13: 47 - 50.
Mas antes de chegar nessa passagem é bom lembrar de uma coisa que aconteceu antes dessa passagem. Quando Jesus estava chamando seus discípulos, Ele disse algo para eles que é muito importante para essa próxima passagem. "E disse Jesus: "Sigam-me, e eu os farei pescadores de homens".Marcos 1:17; com isso em mente, a nossa próxima passagem a de Mateus ""O Reino dos céus é ainda como uma rede que é lançada ao mar e apanha toda sorte de peixes.
Quando está cheia, os pescadores a puxam para a praia. Então se assentam e juntam os peixes bons em cestos, mas jogam fora os ruins. Assim acontecerá no fim desta era. Os anjos virão, separarão os perversos dos justos e lançarão aqueles na fornalha ardente, onde haverá choro e ranger de dentes". Mateus 13:47-50
 Então pense comigo, nós sabemos que cada um de nós temos uma função aqui na terra para ser desenvolvida, certo? Antes de Jesus subir aos céus Ele disse para ir, pregar o evangelho a TODA criatura.
Enquanto pescadores de homens, não temos que estar escolhendo que tipo de peixe ou pessoa nós vamos falar do amor de Jesus. Não podemos separar quem merece ou quem não merece com o nosso julgamento. Primeiro porque não somos nós que vamos fazer o julgamento final. Segundo, porque a partir do momento que começamos a julgar, já começamos a pecar, nada nos faz melhor ou diferente do próximo. Só o amor de Jesus é que nos ajuda a vencer diariamente; é com a misericórdia Dele que não somos consumidos, que ainda estamos vivos. Deus nos ama igualmente, porque todos nós somos pecadores. E não existe categoria de tamanho de pecado. Existe pecado. E todos nós pecamos.
Terceiro, Jesus durante todo o seu ministério, ele mostrou de diversas formas que todos mereciam ser tratados com amor, respeito, cuidado. Nem quando ele podia acusar, Ele não acusou. E por que você ou eu pensamos que podemos acusar? Ou se achar melhor que a outra pessoa?

No fim dos tempos não é o que você acha que é certo ou errado, justo ou injusto, bom ou mal que vai prevalecer, mas a vontade de Deus. O julgamento será DEle.

What I need to say is this, which was another reading I did the day before that is in Matthew 13: 47-50.

But before arriving at this passage it is good to remember something that happened before that passage. When Jesus was calling His disciples, He said something to them that is very important for this next passage. "And Jesus said," Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. "Mark 1:17, with this in mind, our next passage to Matthew." 47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. "Matthew 13: 47-50

 So think with me, we do know that each one of us has a function here on earth to be developed, right? Before Jesus went up into heaven He said to go, preach the gospel to ALL creatures.

As fishers of men, we do not have to be choosing what kind of fish or person we are going to talk about Jesus' love. We can not separate who deserves or who does not deserve with our judgment. Firstly because it is not we who will make the final judgment. Second, because from the moment we begin to judge or decide, we begin to sin, nothing makes us better or different from our neighbor. It is only the love of Jesus that helps us to win daily; it is with His mercy that we are not consumed, that we are still alive. God loves us equally because we are all sinners. And there is no size category of sin. There is sin. And we all sin.

Third, Jesus throughout his ministry, he showed in various ways that everyone deserved to be treated with love, respect, care. Even when he could accuse, he didn't. And why do you or I think we can blame? Or if you think you're better than the other person?

At the end of the age, it won't be what you think that is right or wrong, just or unjust, good or evil that will determine who is going to hell or heaven. But the judgment is God's.

Pointing finger // Apontar o dedo

Recently I was studying the Sermon on the mount in a bible study at the church. It was wonderful to meditate and go deep in these Jesus’ words. So many details we sometimes don’t realize. We are very quick to see the flaws and failures of others. But interestingly the things we see faster in others are probably the things we don’t see or won’t see in ourselves. It is easy to point a finger when someone is, for example, throwing trash on the streets, when one doesn’t even bother to do the same at home. In Brazil, we have this saying “blacksmith’s house, woodpecker.” Who are you to point a finger to anyone when you yourself cannot do better? Your sin is no smaller than his. Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ( Matthew 7 :3). Look, sawdust is something small, and plank or log is something much bigger than sawdust. Sometimes we are able to see something very insignificant in othe...

Are you lost? // Você está perdido?

Você está perdido? There is always this time in life when we are certain about what to do with our lives. We have a goal, and an objective to reach. However, it is often that life turns the other way around and our plans are made nothing. Frequently I hear people say, “I am lost, I don’t know what to do!” That happens when we put our goals into something that changes. Everything in this world change. You and I are changing by the minute. My thoughts right now are running like crazy, and if I don’t set a goal in something that doesn’t change, I can’t do anything. What is it?   Jesus. The word of God. You might think I am crazy, and lunatic or even a fanatic. But who really knows me, know that I am none of those things. I am a very sensible person who has lived and experienced many things. And I don’t lie. So, if you are experiencing a sense of loss and despair, how about putting your hope in the One who cannot change whatsoever. If you lost...

Come and See + Judge correctly // Venha e Veja + Julgue corretamente

Venha e Veja   Two verses stood out for me this morning. John 7:17-18 and 7:24.   “ Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.   18  Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.” John 7:24 “ Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”   That was Jesus talking.  I lately heard that some people with vast knowledge of the Bible (we all want to believe) are being led astray through the vain doctrines of this world. Meaning, that some church leaders or people have earned the people's trust by telling them lies about the teachings of the Bible. People seek their own popularity by agreeing with the lies the world has offered them.  I have seen churches with flags and teaching doctrines that the Bible condemns. They have twisted the ...
