We are going with our second exhibition, which, in my opinion, is far more important than the first. I don' t know those who will endure to the end, but in any case, it is much more important than the first, because it is wisdom in Jesus' teaching First, and this is something I shouldn' t say, but I have to repeat it because there are people who seem to ignore it. The only personage in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, which is normative is Jesus. There are
people who suddenly, to defend anything, resort to any character. Of course, the Bible has countless teachings related to other characters, but the only normative character is Jesus. Not even Paul is a normative character in the Bible only Jesus is, so if you decide that Jacob is suddenly a normative character, surely Jacob has interesting teachings, about everything you don' t have to do, but you should remember that the normative character was polygamous and I guess no
one will consider polygamy to be an acceptable standard of conduct. Today, Abraham is a character whose life contains many teachings and in this case, more positive than negative. But Abraham had a daughter with the maid, a son with the maid, and I suppose no one will think it lawful to have a son with the maid, because Abraham had it and could repeat Davis Solomon and
many other illustrious characters. The only character that is normative to our life is Jesus and is so among other reasons, apart from being the son of God and God incarnated because Jesus is the wisdom of God, what we have seen this morning in the Old Testament, which is obviously applicable and is enormously important to us. However, they are only small flash small advancements of light of
what is going to be the wisdom that is Christ. If you accompany me to the First Letter, to the Corinthians, first, the Corinthians and verses of the eighteenth. From now on Paul' s statements make that theological principle good, which say that when God wants you to enter a truth he leaves
the key at the door. This usually happens in Paul' s letters, in the first verses, already gives you clues to what the Letter is going to be and here it happens the same and says so in the first of Corinthians, chapter one and verse eighteen onwards, because the word of the Cross is madness to those who are lost, but those who are saved. This is to us the power of God, for it is written. I will
destroy the wisdom of the wise and destroy the understanding of the wise. Where is the wise, where is the scribe, where is the disputer of this century. God did not make the wisdom of the world mad, for in
the wisdom of God the world did not know God. Through wisdom it pleased God to save believers by the folly of preaching, for the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified to the Jews, certainly stumbling block and to the Gentiles more folly to those so called Jews. How Christ power of God and wisdom of God, for the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Well, look, brothers, your vocation that you are not many wise according to the flesh, neither many powerful nor many nobles, but God chose the fool of the world to shame the wise and the weak of the world chose
God to shame the strong and the vile of the world. And the despiseable chose God and what is not to undo what is so that no one would boast in his presence more for him are you in Christ Jesus, who has been made us by God wisdom, justification, sanctification and redemption so that, as it is written that glory should glory in the Lord the only thing that is normative, one hundred percent for all of us is Jesus, his life and his teaching. We can learn from Solomon, but it is not normative.
Solomon was led astray at the end of his life by pagan women. We can learn many things from David, but it is not form, it is not normative. David had no problem killing a person to cover a grave sin of adultery. We may have Jesus as our standard, but there will be, even if we learn from him, neither Isaac nor Jacob. The only thing that is normative, the only thing that is the wisdom of God is Jesus. And that is precisely why the revelation of the New Testament is
definitive, as it was not of the Old Testament. And above all, it is not only definitive, but we also have to interpret the old Testament in the light of the new Testament. It is the New Testament that gives us the correct interpretation of the Old Testament. It is not a misinterpretation of the Old Testament that makes us well interpret the New Testament, although, unfortunately, it is very common these days. I will examine five points, seven
points of Jesus' wisdom and how they apply in our lives. Like I told you, it' s seven. As you go through, you are feeling more relieved because we approach the end. Point one. First point, the real meaning of life? And this is essential for living in a wise way to know what the real meaning of life is? Let' s go
to Matthew' s Gospel. The Gospel of Matthew is very well placed as the first book of the New Testament and also as the first of the Gospels, because it is a gospel specifically addressed to Jews so that they understand that
the Messiah and the Son of God is precisely Jesus. Therefore, the Gospel of Matthew, unlike Mark, for example, or other books, is a gospel that begins with reference to the fact that Jesus is Abraham' s son and is David' s son and mentions a genealogy that we Gentiles care about a pepper, but that it was very important to the Jews and in that sense, it is a Jewish gospel not only that. I' ll try. I don' t get too involved in this, because it can be
dangerous. The Gospel of Matthew contains five great discourses of Jesus that are parallel to the five books of Moses and, of course, kill O Gis Made with all intent. Jesus' first speech in Matthew is the sermon on the Mount, chapter verse from five to seven, which is a parallel to Genesis. In Genesis Moses tells us about the origin of the world, the origin of the people of Israel, the origin of salvation, etc. In the sermon on the Mount appears what has to be the origin of Christian life.
I know that many people think that the sermon on the Mount is for when you have fifty years as a believer. It is not Jesus' teaching, it is not what appears in Matthew. The believer begins right now by living according to the sermon on the Mount, trying to live according to the sermon on the Mount, because that is the genesis. The second book of Moses
is the exodus. It is no coincidence that Jesus' second great discourse in Matthew ten is the apostles' departure, precisely to win the land, preaching in the same way that the exodus is the Book of Israel' s exit, of the slavery of Egypt, to conquer the land. And so I could keep showing them parallels. But if I start with that, I' m going to deviate too far. Matthew' s Gospel is a deeply Jewish gospel. It is the most quoted of the Old Testament and, in addition,
there are continuous parallels with the Old Testament. Unfortunately, people do not usually know the Old Testament and miss all that. Let' s go to the sermon on the Mount. As the sermon on the Mount chapters from five to seven begins what Christian life is. It is very interesting how it begins, for example, by saying that those who follow Jesus are blessed, happy, which is shocking, because it also says why we are. For example, we are because we cry. We are because they talk bad about us.
We are because they slander us and persecute us because of Jesus. But Jesus explains why and says well you really are blessed because you weep. But it is that you are the only ones who will receive consolation in the whole history of humanity. It is true that they slander you and speak evil unjustly of you, but it is because you have me as a teacher and you follow me like this, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, so you have plenty of reasons to be happy, even when you are slandered and even when you
are persecuted. Moreover, when you are peacemakers and you are criticized, you are showing that you are children of God' s character. It' s very important, but I' m not going to stop at this. Jesus then shows that what defines believers is the fact that they are salt and light. If you really want to know if you are following Jesus, you have to ask yourself if you are salt and light. But finally we come to this first point of wisdom, in which Jesus reveals the meaning of life.
And it begins in mateo chapters six and we are going to read the verses from nineteen onwards and thus says mateos six from nineteen onwards. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures in the land, where moth and rust break and where thieves mine and steal. If you don' t make treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust break and where thieves don' t mine nor steal.
For wherever your treasure is, your heart will be there. The lamp of the body is the eye, so if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is evil, your whole body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness? How many won' t be the same darkness? No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will esteem the one and despise the other. You cannot serve
God and riches. Therefore I say unto you, Care not for your life, that ye shall eat, or that ye shall drink, or for your body, that ye shall put on. Life is no more than food and body than clothing. Look at the birds of the sky, who do not sow, blind, or gather in barns, and your heavenly father feeds them. You are not worth much more than them, and who among you will be able to add a cubit and a garment to his stature. Why do
you strive to consider the lilies of the field. How they grow, they neither work nor spin, but I tell you that not one Solomon with all his glory was dressed as one of them. And if the grass of the field that is today and tomorrow is cast into the furnace God so clothe it, it will not do much more to you men of little faith. So do not worry about what we will eat or what we will drink or what we will wear, for the Gentiles seek all these things. But your heavenly
father knows that you need all these things. We' re gonna stay here for now See the picture you start talking to. Jesus verse, nineteen you want to live. Wisely, don' t make yourself treasure in this world. The treasures in this world are not safe. Of course there are people who can steal them from you. Of course, at a certain point, a disaster that happens can wipe out your treasure. Of course your treasure,
at a certain time, can disappear in a wave of immense prosperity. In the twenty- ninth year, this country was the most prosperous in the world. It was finishing a decade that was called the decade of the happy twenty and at a certain time, in what they call the black Friday of nine hundred and twenty- nine, the bag broke and the people who had direct
in the bag were left with nothing. And throughout this country there were people who threw themselves from the windows of the skyscrapers because if they were millionaires, they had become economically miserable beings. There' s no safe value, none, and it doesn' t necessarily have to be stolen from you by a person who comes in to steal from your house or makes a hole in the wall and takes it away. It' s enough that there' s an
economic crisis and it' s over so that. Question one. Do not put if you want to be wise your life in material things, because they are much more insecure than you think. What' s more, you might think about it and you don' t want to think about it because you ' re very nervous, but you' re insecure. If you are really thinking about having a safe capital, the only one there is is one that you go together with obedience to the Lord in heaven. End point. First
question, that is a matter that you must be clear about. Second, keep in mind that, as you look at things, those things are going to influence your life if the way you look at things is a clean way, it' s a wise way, it' s a sensible way. You will act in a clean, wise and sensible manner. But if the way you look at it is darkened by money, greed, material concern, you will not see well. And if what you have to see is blinded, you are not going to see anything at all, so this is a
very important question. First, don' t give importance to what doesn' t, and besides, it' s much more insecure than you think. Second, keep your eyes clean in the face of greed, for if indeed you do not keep it clean, if what has to give you light and brightness is blinded, you are lost, you are rich. Third, do
not think that you can come to an arrangement between God and money. No one can serve two gentlemen in anything, and if you serve two gentlemen you end up serving one more than the other, you cannot maintain double loyalty.
If really the situation you come to is that you serve money, you will not be able to serve God. It is absolutely incompatible, because you cannot serve two masters and at that moment Jesus enters into another tremendous situation, because surely he was seeing the face that was put on people and effectively continues in another way. People suddenly hear that what they have is not safe. It ' s not saying besides, as you' re looking through the money.
You' re not going to see well and besides, you can' t serve God and money a paper bag that I' m starting to hyperventilate and Jesus is saying something tremendous at the time. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life. Literally this should be translated. So, I tell you, don' t get caught up in anxiety. I know that, after listening to all this, you' re on edge, because what I' m supposed to give me is not giving it to me.
It' s not safe. They' re cheating on me. I remember on one occasion, as soon as I came to live here, almost twelve years ago I was quoted by an employee from one of the banks where I had an account and had a lot of interest in advising me, offering me some products and all I was offering was to get into debt and I was
telling her not everything. And there came a moment like the poor woman had been talking to me for half an hour I was sorry she wasted the time with me that I told her to look Don' t offer me any more things. I' m really not interested. When I want to buy something, if I just save and buy it but I never get into it and
then the woman stands up for a moment and says you. Imagine how much wisdom and in what you say and how much pain people would be spared if they did like you and suddenly stopped again and said clearly that I would then have no work. It must be acknowledged that the woman was completely sincere. Well, this isn' t good, but it' s good for that woman to have a job and for the bank to fool those who aren'
t very wise. You cannot serve God and money, do not blind yourselves, because if you blind yourselves, you go through life blind And Jesus says, therefore, because he realizes what is there, do not let yourselves be caught up by anxiety, how are we going to be caught up by anxiety?
Jesus, if you' re telling us that what we' re accumulating at any moment there' s a stock exchange break, you don' t like the powers of the world, the President in the United States, I know anything and we' re left with nothing, how are we going to get caught by anxiety? If the way we' ve always seen things now you say it' s that we' re blind to life, but how
are we not going to get caught up in anxiety? If you see it ' s nice to be told that if you follow Mr You' re going to fill the bank account and Tora says no, you can' t serve it. And money and goodbye at the same time, for how I won ' t be anxious. And Jesus says do not be carried away by anxiety about what you are to eat, what you are to drink, because your life is more than food and body, more than clothing. And that as you know, Jesus. And Jesus says in verse 26 look at the birds
of the sky. This is more important than it seems. Some people think this is something agricultural, Pastor, and anyway, what they say is an extreme look into this life. They' re pushing you all over the place. You put it on, the TV and they' re selling you a whole hemorrhoid remedy. How to spend the holidays, a whole insurance, a
cheaper connection to the Internet. They' re pushing you from waking up in the morning until you get into bed at night, and it' s possible that when you get into bed you still feel like you' re being pushed. Don' t listen to them, stop for a moment and let' s look at the birds. Hey, jesus, it' s not about anything, but I have more important things to do than this bird- watching nonsense. Don' t stop and look at the birds. Don' t let them keep pushing you, you don' t have time to think,
because they' re pushing you everywhere. Don' t stop. Now look at them birds to you those birds seem to be more important than you or you think they' re neo. If any of those birds is less important than you, then if you see, even if the bird is very nice and such or, I think it goes more than just a right bird. If God sees and feeds those birds that are worth what they are worth, what makes you think he' s not going to feed you and he'
s not going to dress you. I know you' re gonna get nervous, but stop another time to look at what' s around, don' t go running stop look at the plants are pretty, you think you' re worth more than that massive delusions or that rosebush or you think you' re worth less in God' s eyes, I think it' s worth more. Indeed, you' ve ever seen a bare plant. You' ve ever seen a lily that wasn' t dressed in a beautiful way. You' ve seen a rosebush where the roses don' t have anything to
cover them with, but it' s very well- dressed. If God saw a plant that does not speak, that does not sing, that surely does not think, what makes you think that it will not clothe You, for what Jesus says seems to make quite sense. Well, if it makes enough sense, then why is there the circumstance that you get carried away by anxiety, that you trust things that aren' t safe, that you try to build a stability that the human being can' t build, that that
happens. It is logical that it should happen with the pagans arsicle thirty- two. The Gentiles are looking for all these things, that your neighbor Antonio, that all he cares about is the sauce and fill his gut with rice and pork and see who he sleeps with every weekend. This one is logical.
The weird thing would be that your neighbor Antonio didn' t have that anxiety, that your neighbor Luisa, who spends herself on taking her hair off her body and putting it on another part of her body and is thinking nothing but how she gets fat or takes off fat or stuff like that is with that anxiety. It' s logical. But you know that God is your father, and since God is your father, he knows better than you what your needs are, as verse thirty- two says, because the gentines seek
all these things for him. But your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. The pagans are distressed, it' s just normal. The strange thing would be that a particularly enlightened Gandy person was not distressed. Yes, but it is normal for pagans to be in terrible distress, but you
have God as your father and God knows your needs better than you. And that makes your life have a meaning that is not the meaning reached by those who have not known God, who have not known me and who, therefore, do not have God as a father. And what is that verse thirty - three more seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. So do not worry about the morning, for the morning will be anxious and your own evil will suffice every day.
First, Jesus’ wisdom says that there is a way to have a full life. But it is not trusting in that which is not stable, it is not blinding itself in such a way that you do not see, it is not trying to serve God and riches, it is understanding that God takes care of us in an absolutely logical way, because we are more important than any bird, We are more important than any plant and, moreover, we have a way of living a full life seeking the kingdom of God and
his justice and the rest God will add it. The wisdom of God, the wisdom of Jesus, is manifested in the first place by pointing out the meaning of life, and the meaning of life is in seeking the kingdom. About twelve years ago, I finally moved to Miami. I was thinking of going on vacation until they called me the same day I arrived in Miami and they informed me that I had been saved, that they would put a bomb on me practically for hours, so I decided to stay here wisely, which
was what I was recommended by those who called me from Spain. But I think starting from scratch in a country that isn' t yours isn' t easy when, besides, you find that your friends have the secret of the invisible man and disappear and that people you' ve done favors to over a decade suddenly swallow the earth and even discover that some friend you' ve got closer steals from you. Well, man, this gives you joy, doesn
' t give you joy. And I remember one day I left my house, where I still live here, in Miami, and I must have been worried about why I was looking down instead of looking at the front where I was going, risking hitting someone who came in the other direction. I was looking down on the ground and suddenly, about a hundred and fifty meters from my house, I found a little bird lying on the grass, the poor
dead boy who would have given a heat blow whatever it was. And there was the poor little bird and I, who was looking down on the ground, probably not very cheerful. Suddenly I saw the bird and at that moment I told myself not even this little bird is here without the lord allowing it. If I' m in this situation, it' s because the Lord wants me to be in this situation and if he wants it, it' s because it' s the least. And I remember at that moment I
stopped looking at the grass. I looked up in the awful heat here in Miami. I got as far as I was going. But the idea is clear. The first thing that Jesus shows and notice that he already shows in his first discourse in the Sermon on the Mounts that there is a meaning in this life and that meaning is not material and that it cannot be made compatible
with God' s service. That material vision and the meaning is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, because God is our father, because he knows our needs better than we do, why he replaces it and because everything we need he will add. Second sample of the wisdom of Jesus, which appears in the Bible and which is very important life has a meaning that is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, but that sense of
life is a sense of service. If you accompany me to Mark' s gospel, Mark chapter eight, Mark chapter eight and we were going to read from verse twenty- seven and it is a tremendously important text. It says so that Jesus and his disciples went out through the villages of Cesarea of Philippi and on the way asked his disciples telling them who the men say I am and they answered some, John the Baptist, others Elijah and others, one of the prophets. Then he told them and you who say I am answering.
Peter told him you are the Christ, but he commanded them not to tell any of these things about him and began to teach them that he was necessary for the son of man to suffer much and to be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes and to be killed and resurrected after three days. This I was telling you clearly. Then Peter took him aside
and began to reconvert him. But he, turning and looking at the disciples, rebuked Peter by saying," Get out of my sight satan because you do not look at the things of God, but at those of men, and calling the people and his disciples, said to them if anyone wants to come after me, deny himself and take up his cross" And follow me, for whoever wants to save his life will lose it and whoever loses his life for my sake of the Gospel will save it, for what will profit
man. If I win everyone and lose their soul. Let' s read another text below. But look at this story, Jesus comes with his disciples to Caesarea of Philippo. Caesarea of Philippi was just the boundary between the Gentile world and the Jewish world. You were jumping here that you were in the Jewish world. You jumped in here and you were in the gentle world. And it is no coincidence that Jesus chooses that place and then asks the disciples.
Well and people who say that I am and you are a disciple look there is everything, there are those who think that you are a prophet and who think that you are Elijah, etcetera. And he says good and what
do you think and Peter says you are the Messiah? And as they say I kill that you have not deduced it by your pre- clear intelligence, but it is my father who has revealed it to you and at that moment Jesus begins to teach how the messiah is going to be, which is a messiah, a servant as it appears, for example, in isaiah fifty- three, an eye that you want a messiah, as a netanian, a man who crushes all that is around him, who destroys the Romans, who
cleans the temple and then enslaves all the Gentile nations around it. Anyone who moves around. He crushes it, for it will be that not because the son of man is going down to Jerusalem, but not to implant the kingdom that you think, let alone what you think, the son of man is going down, he is going to be reviled, he is going to be insulted, he is going to be tortured and he is going to be crucified. And at that time I pedro that evidently had more nationalist ideas than according
to what Jesus taught. He takes part in Jesus and tells him, sir, that can' t be. Come on, it can' t just be,' cause I don' t want it to happen to you. A disgrace is that we' re not here for that. We' re here to see the Romans. We' re not leaving one. We will fully implant the kingdom of the Jews. The temple is going to be cleaned. There' s going to be peace here, because all the Gentiles are going to be subject to us what' s this about you coming down and
they' re going to kill you, but what do you say? And Jesus' answer is clear Peter, whether you know it or not, find out, your plan is diabolical. What you are saying is not God' s purpose, your messiah, is not God' s messiah. It is an antimessiah in any case, and that is as if satan spoke for you. I' ll tell you something else, but it' s not just that messiah' s gonna happen. This is because of the servants of the
Messiah they are expected to follow the program of the Messiah. Those who follow me will have to follow me every day and deny themselves and if the case comes, I will end up on a cross like me. And I' m going to tell you something else, Peter, this may suffer you that it' s a loss, but it' s the only way you can save this life. And unfortunately, there are people who think that saving their lives in a way doesn' t realize that they' re losing it.
But this is the way of the messiah and it is a way of service, not a way of imposition or a way of destruction, not a way of not letting anyone take us the opposite and anyone will say it is questionable what you say. Yes, go with Enmarcos to chapter ten, because again, Jesus, to these calves that he had as disciples, had to explain it to him once again, Jesus, evidently had a patience that greatly stimulates me. Of course, Mark ten verses from thirty- five onwards says so.
Then James and John, the sons of Cebedee, approached him, saying, Master, we would like you to do to us whatever we ask, and he told them that you want me to do to you and they told him to grant us that in your glory we sit one on your right hand and the other on your left. Then Jesus told them you don' t know what you' re asking for. You can drink from the cup that I drink being baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized, and they
said we can. Jesus told them to the truth of the cup that I drink, you will drink and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized. But to sit on my right and left is not mine to give it, but those for whom it is prepared. When they heard it, the ten began to be angry with James and John more.
Jesus, calling them, told them that those who are counted rulers of the nations exercise authority over them and their great eyes exercise authority over them, but it will not be so among you, but that whoever wishes to become great among you will be your servant and whoever wishes to be your first servant will be a servant to all, for the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life a ransom. By many they went down, down to Jerusalem, and on their way to Jerusalem
the two little brothers. We know from another of the gospels that there was an attempt by Mom to put the children right. They approach Jesus Jerusalem. When we get there, you' re going to end everything, you' re going to implant the Kingdom of Israel by crushing those miserable people who have come from Rome. There' s going to be a government here. We would like to be with two important ministerial portfolios if possible that of the left
and the right. And Jesus says that you have no idea what you are saying. You' re going to swallow the drink I' m going to swallow. You' re going to let them dive into you, which is what it means to baptize, as I' m going to be immersed in myself. Yeah, we can, well, that' s gonna happen, but who' s gonna be with me. It' s a father' s thing of course. Immediately, the other ten feel upset, these two mom children who do telling Jesus they want the two most important positions. And
Jesus answers in a very clear way. You continue to have the mentality of the world, you believe that politicians say that they are going to serve their country, when in reality, what they want is to send for the best. There is someone so foolish that we have realized that, but it would be good for him to understand, because Jesus himself says so. They present
themselves as benefactors. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for us, although if they find us on the street, they would not invite us to a coffee and once they are up, of course, they rule and have all the power and do what they want. And Jesus says it' s normal. But that is not my way and it cannot be my way to come to serve me, but to serve and to give my life. That' s your change. If what you expire is really something great, you have to
serve, not because, but because it is what I have done. Jesus is normative and it is what Jesus does that we should copy. And not what the two little brothers do trying to see how they put themselves better than, of course, into this life. The meaning of life is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness to that life is lived in service.
That life also excludes the idea of violence. If you accompany me to John Chapter eighteen, I sometimes hear believers talking about international issues and talking about how people should be killed and then wondering where they bury the dead, because it is truly tremendous. But in any case, it is something separate from Jesus
’ message. We could read a lot of texts. Let' s read one John Chapter eighteen and let' s read from verse thirty- three and then say Pilate went back into the praetorium and called Jesus and said you are the King of the Jews, and Jesus answered him, you say, this for yourself or others have told you of me. Pilate answered him," I am a Jew of your birth, and the chief priests have given you what you have done to me" Jesus answered. My kingdom is not of
this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight that I would not be delivered up to the Jews. But my kingdom isn ' t from here It seems pretty clear. I don' t think there can be a more just cause to draw the sword than to defend Jesus, but as Jesus says, it is that my kingdom does not act as the kingdoms of this world. If my kingdom were a kingdom like this world, my people would be fighting so they wouldn' t have given you up.
But my kingdom is not from here. Not only that. Look at another important aspect. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jesus is characterized by something that is not exactly one of the things by which we can say that it is always clear that it is characterized. If one, at a certain time, asked why one thinks that a church is going well, because it is growing spiritually, why there is supposed to be a presence of the Lord the answers would
be diverse, but curiously, Jesus gives a very clear mark. John chapter thirteen and verse thirty- four and thirty- five says a new commandment. I give you that you love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another and by this all will know that you are my disciples? If you had love with one another, will you not know that you are my disciples? Because there are miracles. Because there are supposedly miracles in
the Catholic Church. There are in Islam. There are people who go to the tombs of Muslim saints and are supposed to heal, their hair grows. Which one of these things. There are in India, there are in Buddhism. That' s not a mark. Nor speak in tongues. I regret the gestures cause you a deep pain, but speaking in tongues do. Mormons appear in India, Buddhism occasionally appears also in Islam at all. Nor fill great temples. That any religion that is worth modestly fills you with great temples.
That which they will know that you are my disciples is if you love one another. This makes one feel restless, because it does not seem to be what will characterize some lives, but it is the teaching of Jesus. I give you a new commandment, which is going to allow you to see whether you are indeed my disciples or not with Jesus. I had some remarkable wisdom ideas, but this is normative. Not only that still something more Jesus.
And I am not going to read the passages, because we would be very long and I want to finish the exposition Jesus as the wisdom of proverbs. I did not believe in religion when one goes to the sermon on the mountain, and one can say I am very holy, because there is one Jesus. So he tells her not to notice you, or to wash your face, or to put on perfume and not to be noticed, for the purpose of fasting is not that they see how holy you are and how bad
your face has been. But I pray and when you go to pray, lock yourself in your room, that is, do not organize these books out of the street so that everyone will see how hours and how holy you are not your father will see you in secret. I have seen presidents meeting with clerics and such have already received their reward to all. As Jesus says, you lock yourself in your room, talk to your father and your father who
listens in secret, he will reward you. Okay. I already make offerings, okay, but if you' re going to make an offering and have something against a brother, let go of the offering. Get ready with your brother first and then come back and introduce her. The wisdom of Jesus is
like what we have seen in proverbs. Let us not pretend to substitute the relationship of wisdom and fear of God with religiosity, for it is true that perhaps we can deceive people how pious it is that always, whenever they are
not praying, they are on an impressive fast. It is possible that we feel very happy, because people see the saints they are, they think they see, but there is nothing in that that looks like two more points and I conclude sixth, Jesus had a vision of eschatology, which is almost nothing like what is preached in many places. I know people, I became soon.
It will be fifty years that I became when you are almost fifty years of believing, for you have seen many good and bad things and, for example, you have seen the people who like to announce the proximity of the second avenue. In this almost half a century I have not seen anyone who was right. I' ve seen everyone who gave a date, a closeness, etcetera make a fool of themselves. All of them continue to make a
fool of themselves decades later and in a truly prodigious way. There are people who listen to them after they have not been successful in more than half a century. I have an acquaintance for whom I appreciate that this practically every year announces the rapture for the fall. It is clear that he has not been right so far, and there are people who listen to him sometimes because there are moons of blood and for a reason we ignore, because the moons of
blood are a sign that the rapture is there. It reaches the blood moons. There' s no rapture. Years go by and no one remembers that he said something stupid and that he made a fool of himself and that you have to be very careful when it comes to listening to him. No. Not quite the opposite. The ball keeps going around sometimes instead of the blood moons. There is a war in Syria that has nothing to do with the
Second Avenue of Christ, but people are man. The war in Syria is over and no one remembers the amount of crap that was said in connection with that I am not going to go into Gog and Magog and Russia, because you have to be too ignorant to believe that Gog and Magog Russians is having no idea what is stable. The examples are a lot. The waste of time is immense and what this shows of lack of wisdom is tremendous, but above all it is a sign of disobedience. I will ask you to accompany
me to Acts chapter one, where Jesus is very clear about it. It says so. In Acts chapter one, verse four and being together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the father, which he told them you heard of me, because John Er baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy spirit in not many days. Then those who had gathered asked him saying Lord you will restore the Kingdom to Israel at this time and Jesus said yes. Besides, I'
ll give you the map you' ll see. First it turns out that the Church is leaving. I' ll take it. Then comes the Antichrist, a seven- year covenant, but in the middle of the covenant he decides not to. And then there are some Jews who become ends, according to some, even well in aliens. Don' t look at Jesus' answer verse seven. It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father placed in his sole power. But even though that' s not your turn, don' t waste your time. That' s all
Father Gnos knows. How will you know if only the father and the son know not the day and the hour. How will you know what you' re going to do in September that you' re smoking lately to reach those conclusions. Verse eight, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria and to the ends of the earth. What is, what is supposed to be done by someone who wants the wisdom of Jesus.
In eschatological terms, don' t waste time calculating that' s not your thing, no, but what I like. It' s very entertaining. Suddenly the Chinese move through the Taiwan Strait and perhaps this is that Christ is near that you don' t waste your time with pavadas, that' s not a thing. You know that only the father and father are not going to tell you and not even the two of you are going to take care of what you have to take care of and what I have to take care
of being a witness to Jesus until the last of the aunt. And it is tremendous how, instead of being witnesses of Jesus to the ends of the earth, people are dedicated to making maps of the future that are never fulfilled. Never. The proof is that we' re all here. The pastor who baptized me almost fifty years ago was an English missionary and one day he told me that when he was a young man apart from the church he was going to, in a church of free brothers, as they are called in
Argentina. Apart from the church I was going to, he went to another church of his own denomination, because he preached much of eschatology. One of the pastors of that church preached a lot of eschatology. This was a young man and he was interested in seeing what was going to happen in the future.
And he tells me he says and I learned not to dedicate myself to doing calculations and dedicating myself to other wiser things, because there was a pastor saying that he gave not one, neither two, neither ten nor fifteen, gave more than thirty reasons that made clear who the antichrist was I and who says Benito Mussolini, Well, Benito Mussolini, killed him in the year forty
- five. So look at what was right and biblical about this pastor who, perhaps, had a very healthy doctrine on other issues, but I have seen as the antichrist, Sadán Hussey, who has been raising mauves for decades, as they say in Spain. I' ve seen King Juan Carlos. I remember once I arrived in Miami and the brother who picked me up tells me very happy that the antichrist was going to be King Juan Carlos. Like
a fool, he never wants to get rid of foolishness. I said, " Look, don' t take this the wrong way" But I know King Juan Carlos. He' s pretty dumb. I don' t think it can be, I don' t think, I don' t think it can be the antichrist and it' s with elvait. He' s pretty dumb and I don' t see him as the antichrist and this person, instead of listening to me says that there, there' s the devil ' s trap in which he seems silly, but because he' s the
antichrist. Well, obviously, when you want to blind yourself, there' s no way you' ll stop being blind. Let us not take care of the times and seasons that the Father has put in his sole power and be witnesses of Jesus to the very end of the earth. And what would happen? What would happen? And with this I conclude, What would happen if we suddenly decided not to live life according to the wisdom of Jesus? What if, for example, we do not put God’ s Kingdom and
righteousness first and expect the Father to add? What would happen if, for example, we decided that, apart from not placing God’ s Kingdom and its righteousness ahead of us, our life would be a life of greatness rather than a life of service. What if, for example, instead of being characterized by love and rejecting violence, we really thought that nothing to prove that I am a good Christian, there are other things. Let' s get
out of this. What if, for example, my life was totally injected with religiosity so that people could see how much I donate to you, how much fasting or how much I do, any of these things, what would happen without my life. In addition, he spends hours wasting time to calculate the moment the rapture is going to take place, because I don' t know, because the planet Neptune is coming. I don' t know what planet or any of these things, what would happen, because my life would
be a life subject to the possibility of being a completely ruined life. If you accompany me to Matthew chapter seven and it is the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, what you say is truly tremendous. It is the key to making our life a life according to what God desires and a full life or disaster. It says so in Matthew seven verses from twenty- four onwards.
Whoever hears these words and does them, I will compare to him a wise man who built his house on the rock, rain came down and rivers came and blew winds and struck that house and did not fall because it was founded on the rock. But whoever hears these words to me and does not do them, I will liken him to a foolish man who built his house on the sand and rain came down and rivers came and blew winds and gave impetus to that house and fell and its ruin was great. And when Jesus
finished these words, people admired his doctrine. The word of Jesus is tremendous in this life. We are going to have difficulties if someone is telling them that because they are Christians they are not going to have problems, or they are very ignorant, or they are very foolish, or they are very scoundrel, because it is not true. The Bible precisely says that all who want
to follow Christ Jesus godly will suffer persecution. It does not say twenty percent if you touch eighty, well, no, but it says that all those who want to follow Christ Jesus godly will suffer persecution and Jesus says so. Your life is like a house and it' s gonna come down and it ' s gonna rain and sometimes there' s flooding. But if your house is based on my teachings, as if its foundation were a rock or rock, you will endure, you will endure as much as it rains as it
is gripped. You are sustained in Christ and you endure in the century In the 19th century, apart from inventing football in some places, the English invented a sport that was stealing from the shipwreckers. When suddenly a ship arrived on the English coast and there was no lighthouse in the area and perhaps a very common tempest arose. The inhabitants of the village facing the beach waited for the shipwreck and then threw themselves on the castaways, killed him and, of course,
took away all they could. By the time the king' s sailors arrived, they' d find the bones and corpses and hypogmas. In one of these shipwrecks, one of the people, as the English sport knew, swam as he could not get near the coast. He came to a stumbling block and climbed into the scotch. He grabbed the wall, the water fell to the seas, but of course he was not willing to move from the
rock. The next morning, after the friendly Englishmen of the coast had plundered everything, a ship from the king' s navy began to look for someone on the high seas and found this poor man on top of the good rock, threw out a blanket was already protected by the king' s navy and told him you must have spent all night shaking and shivering, and the man answered yes, I spent the whole night shaking, but the rock on which
he was not trembling. And that' s our life. If we lean on Sta, we can tremble, we can meet the floods, the floods. But if we are sustained in the wisdom of Christ, on that rock, the house will remain. And what if it is not based on the wisdom of Christ and is based on religiosity, in dedicating itself to thinking that it will happen in the future, in keeping money or values, is in
or, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. For if it comes and any of those situations, the house will fall apart because it is not sitting on the rock, but in sand, and the ruin of that life will be thirty I hope that in these two hours approximately in which I have been talking about wisdom, you could have received even a few strokes of that wisdom in the Bible and you could see how our life has to settle in it and in the fear of God to be a full life, to be a meaningful life
and a life that does not come down and is ruined when suddenly the floods come. Thank you so much for your attention and patience.
