Domingo 20 de marzo
Con ellos estaba el libro de la ley de Jehová (2 Cró. 17:9).
Los testigos de Jehová de todo el mundo utilizamos la Biblia al enseñar a la gente. Hacemos todo lo posible por leer directamente de las Escrituras, y así demostramos la importancia que le damos a su mensaje. Una hermana llamada Linda encontró de casa en casa a una señora que estaba ocupada atendiendo a su esposo, quien había sufrido un derrame cerebral. La señora exclamó: “No sé por qué permitió Dios que pasara esto. Algo debo de haber hecho mal”. Entonces, Linda le dijo que quería mostrarle algo y le leyó Santiago 1:13, tras lo cual añadió: “El sufrimiento que padecemos nosotros y nuestros seres queridos no es un castigo de Dios”. Al oír eso, la señora le dio un abrazo muy afectuoso. Linda comenta: “Me alegro mucho de haber podido consolarla con la Biblia. A veces, en la predicación tenemos la oportunidad de leer versículos que la gente no conoce”. A raíz de esa conversación, la señora empezó a estudiar la Biblia.
Sunday, March 20
With them there was the book of Jehovah’s law.—2 Chron. 17:9.
Worldwide we endeavor to teach people from the Bible, since it is the Word of God. We make a special effort to show others the actual words of the Bible, featuring it in our ministry. One householder explained to Linda, a Witness, that her husband had suffered a stroke and needed her attention. The householder lamented: “I don’t know what I have done that God allowed this to happen to me.” Linda responded: “May I assure you of something?” She then read the words of James 1:13 and added: “All the suffering that we and our loved ones experience is not punishment from God.” At that, the householder gave Linda a warm hug. Linda acknowledges: “I was able to give comfort by using the Bible. Sometimes the verses we read from the Bible are ones the householder has never heard before.” That conversation led to a regular home Bible study with the woman.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
