Surgió un disturbio no pequeño acerca del Camino (Hech. 19:23).
De los primeros discípulos de Cristo se decía que pertenecían al “Camino” (Hech. 9:2). Y esta era una expresión muy atinada, pues habían emprendido un nuevo modo de vida que exigía demostrar fe en Jesucristo e imitar su ejemplo (1 Ped. 2:21). En este tiempo del fin, la obra de hacer discípulos se ha extendido hasta alcanzar más de doscientos treinta países y territorios. Tan solo en los últimos diez años, 2.700.000 personas —5.000 por semana— han decidido bautizarse en símbolo de su dedicación a Jehová. Han dado este paso porque lo aman y desean servirle, y porque conocen las Escrituras y aceptan sus enseñanzas. Ciertamente, el bautismo es un suceso único en la vida, pues marca el inicio de nuestra amistad con Jehová. Además, muestra que confiamos en que él nos ayudará a andar fielmente en sus caminos (Isa. 30:21).
Sunday, December 11
There arose no little disturbance concerning The Way.—Acts 19:23.
The early disciples of Christ belonged to “The Way.” (Acts 9:2) This expression was fitting because those who became followers of Christ adhered to a manner of life that centered on faith in Jesus Christ and on imitating his example. (1 Pet. 2:21) The disciple-making work has sped up in these last days and is now being done in over 230 lands. During the past ten years, more than 2,700,000 people have made the decision to serve Jehovah and be baptized in symbol of their dedication to him. That is an average of over 5,000 individuals every week! The decision to be baptized is based on love for God, knowledge of the Scriptures, and faith in what they teach. Baptism is a milestone in our life, for it marks the beginning of an intimate relationship with Jehovah. It is also a demonstration of confidence that he will help us to serve him faithfully.—Isa. 30:21.
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.”
