Tengo que declarar las buenas nuevas del reino de Dios (Luc. 4:43).
¿Por qué eligió Jesús el Reino como tema central de su ministerio? Porque sabía que él sería el Rey de dicho gobierno y que, con la colaboración de los ungidos resucitados, eliminaría a los causantes del sufrimiento de la humanidad: Satanás y el pecado (Rom. 5:12; Rev. 20:10). Por eso mandó a sus discípulos a proclamar el Reino hasta que llegara el fin (Mat. 24:14). Los miembros de la cristiandad no llevan a cabo esta labor ni pueden hacerlo. ¿Por qué? Al menos por tres razones. La primera, porque no pueden hablar de lo que no entienden. La segunda, porque carecen en su mayoría de la humildad y el valor necesarios para afrontar la hostilidad y las burlas que suscita el mensaje (Mat. 24:9; 1 Ped. 2:23). Y la tercera, porque no cuentan con el espíritu de Jehová (Juan 14:16, 17).
Sunday, September 4
I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God.—Luke 4:43.
Why did Jesus make God’s Kingdom the main theme of his ministry? He knew that he himself as King of that Kingdom, along with his resurrected spirit-begotten brothers, would deal with the root causes of mankind’s woes—sin and the Devil. (Rom. 5:12; Rev. 20:10) Hence, he commanded his followers to proclaim that Kingdom until the end of the present system of things. (Matt. 24:14) People who merely profess to be followers of Christ do not engage in this work—in fact, they cannot. Why? For at least three reasons: First, they cannot preach what they do not understand. Second, most of them lack the humility and courage needed to face the ridicule and opposition that may result from sharing the Kingdom message with their neighbors. (Matt. 24:9; 1 Pet. 2:23) And third, false Christians do not have God’s spirit.—John 14:16, 17.
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.”
