Bethany: Paradigm of Glorious Ratification

For the day Flower garden this year, just after April 2nd, and since, as I shared with my wife, I have never before celebrated such a Sunday with such gaiety and joy in my heart, as until now. Why? Because I may not have become aware of the deep message that day carries in the Christian world and for those who believe in Jesus, the son of God.

Like, reading the Word to my little Daniel Isaac11 years, I discovered that our Lord Jesus Christ, as a witness to those who do not believe, before his crucifixion, and apparently after, was confirmed by Heavenly Father God, like a real i the true Son of the living God and that Jesus is God forever and ever.

I decided, at the moment of writing this text, in these days that we remember as Holy Week or Holy Week, title it: The paradigm of ratification. Because?. Let’s see: u The Holy Gospel according to John, in the 12th chapterfrom verse 23 to 28, we read the following: Jesus answered them: The hour has come for the Son of Man to beto be celebrated. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life will lose it; and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, my Father will honor him. Now my soul is troubled; and what will I say? Father, save me from this hour? But that’s why I came to this class. 28 Father, glorify your name. Then came a voice from heaven: I have glorified him and I will glorify him again.” (Emphasis mine).

For the multitude that was present, among them, governors and eminent authorities, the voice that was heard from heaven, there were those who thought that it was thunder, others, who opened their hearts and spirits to the Lord, only they only said that “An angel talked with Jesus.” It is true that it was the voice of God the Father himself, who at the request of Jesus, his beloved son: “Father glorify your name”, he immediately replied: “I have glorified him and I will glorify him again.” six days before Jewish Passover, Jesus was in Bethany, in Martha’s house and dinner was offered forl Lord. At the table was Lazar, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

This miracle affected the population of the whole region and even outside of Israel, so that the knowledge of this transcendental miracle and the knowledge of the presence Jesus in Bethany they also wanted to see own lazarus and confirm with your own eyes that the one who died has also risen and that the Creator of life has brought Lazarus among the dead. The lyrics read:

9 Then a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there and they came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests agreed to kill Lazarus as well, 11 because many of the The Jews turned and believed in Jesus.

Be very careful, it was not the first resurrection the miracle that Jesus did (Jesus resurrects the son of the widow of Nain, Luke Cap-7, verses 7-17), but it was indeed a most impressive miracle, perhaps because of the circumstances in which it occurs, given that when Jesus resurrects Lazarus, who was dead and buried for four (4) days. So much so that she was born the sister of a dead man, Marta tells the Lord that the dead man already stinks: Jesus, again deeply moved, he came to the grave. It was a cave and a stone was placed over it. Jesus said: Roll away the stone. Marta, the sister of the one who died, said to him: Sir, it already stinks, because it is four days old. 40 Jesus said to him: Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God? (John 11:38-44).

So, knowing Lord Jesus what will happen in the days to come, that is, his death, crucifixion, and resurrection, certain and sure, far from all doubt or uncertainty, but not for that with less suffering and excruciating suffering, at all times, founded on the Word of the Father, though he heard The voice of heaven, the voice of Father God, He did not go to his house or because he doubted, but because of those present, those who doubt, those who do not believe or live in uncertainty.. In John, chapter 12, verses 30 In 33 we read: “Jesus answered and said: This voice did not come because of me, but because of you. Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I were lifted up from the earth, will draw all to myself . And he said that, hinting at the kind of death he would die”.

The voice of God is mightier than thunder. Let’s read JobCh.37: “Therefore my heart also trembles. And leaps from its place. Listen carefully to the noise of his voice and the sound that comes from his mouth. Under all the heavens he directs him and his light to the ends of the earth rumbles after her, he thunders with a mighty voice , and although his voice is heard, he does not stop them. God thunders wonderfully with his voice; He does great things that we do not understand.” God sent the only begotten of God, Jesus, to reconcile the world with Him. We have all sinned, we are all sinners, but in Jesus, through Him we have redemption and eternal life.

Through death, death on the cross, his resurrection took place, on the third day, as he had promised. Jesus is real today, just like yesterday, again the scribes and Pharisees say: “You see that you are not getting anything. Look, the world is following him”. No alliances, no agendas, no agendas or plans to conspire against God’s order nothing will prevail, well, you know, the world is following him Christ, resurrected Jesus!

It is current, current, with superiority grace and goodness, Betanian paradigm: ratification: “I have glorified him and I will glorify him again.” God does not lie, he is not a man nor a son of man to lie! The thunder of God continues to reverberate. God bless the country!
