Se trata de un libro muy doloroso.
No one should have written it. No one should read it. It should not be necessary. But here it is. God’s heart laid bare for all to critique.
We want justice. We want peace. We want love. We want everything He offers. But do we want Him?
This is the question from the beginning of time. This is the question we were born to answer. Do we want Him?
Esta pregunta nos presiona como nos enfrentamos a un mundo carente de soluciones; mundo que clama por una alternativa a todas sus convicciones y creencias anteriores; un mundo aplastado por el clima, población, pobreza, malestar y enfermedades devastadoras; un anhelo mundo para soñar, pero sin una visión; un anhelo mundo cambie, pero sin opciones; un burbujeante mundo con potencial de una gran época en la historia de la humanidad, pero sin tambor venció a seguir.
He is who we are looking for. He is the dream fulfilled, the one who offers us our destiny. But will we allow Him to be Himself? This is an odd question in a generation that is asking that so strongly for themselves. Let us be us! Fair enough, Dios dice:. But first you must let Me be Me.
En este libro nos encontramos ante la justicia política, uno de los deseos de cada corazón, the cry of billions and the demand of many nation’s people. We have only one concern and that is “what does God say?” There is only one book for us to turn to in this study, que es el libro de Dios. In the Bible God does not say what we want Him to say. He does not tell us how to take power and make our nations good and just. He does not tell us how to legislate sin out of our towns and streets. Él no nos da una estrategia.
En lugar, He tells us our story and His purpose. It is an unrelentingly tragic journey through the history of man. We begin with an amazing vision of possibility for God’s human creation. The cosmos is made for our inheritance. We are co-regents with God in dominion. Perfection, regal authority and eternal comradeship with our maker is all ours. It is breathtaking.
El destino de la destrucción
Desde Génesis capítulo tres sin embargo, es una historia muy diferente. We are in freefall from sin and beginning with fratricide by chapter six we are all the way to human genocide. What is that all about? Nearly ten generations of human destruction ending in a violent global catastrophic flood. Why even read this stuff. What is the point? Where is God in all of this? ¿Por qué no acaba de saltar esto y llegar a la justicia en el Nuevo Testamento. Debido a que esta es la historia elegido de Dios y Él quiere que entendamos que. Si queremos que la bendición que tendremos que entender su pensamiento. ¿Lo o tu idea de Él desea? You have to make a choice
Por último, existe un poco de alivio como Dios llama a un hombre al padre de una tribu, una nueva nación a revelarse. But from the first generation of Abraham there is lying and cheating and difficult alternative families. Within four generations we are back to near fratricide of Joseph and genocide of the Shecemites. This is followed by more than 400 years of slavery as God deals with Abraham’s legacy. Where is the joy here?
La Ley
Reprieve comes again in the form of the Law given to Moses to disciple the nearly free nation of Israel. God begins to speak for Himself and gives clear, concise and very specific instruction for how to achieve justice in a community. Five books, 10 commandments and one small nation should be doable. God is with them. They make a covenant with Him. Finally we are moving forward.
We have some good years and some bad years but it all hits the fan again. 2000 years from Joshua to the last Kings of Israel and total destruction of the promised nation. Sure there are highs and lows. Much of what God wanted is achieved even a certain amount of political justice but then it deteriorates into bloody chaos again.
But then there is David. Sí, nuestro mejor líder político, only a murderer and an adulterer. But he had a heart for God? Sí, que hizo. But there is Solomon. Sí, the pinnacle of national history. A man of great wisdom from God in governing but so little wisdom at all in his personal life. The King of Israel’s greatest age and the father of the Kings that will in one generation begin to tear it all apart and take the nation to total destruction. Why read this stuff? Why dwell on this for hundreds of pages? And then we have the Prophets and a few hundred more pages of pain? Surely God wants us to put this awful history behind us and get to Jesus, peace and joy. More than a thousand pages of historic torture for what when we now have the good news of the New Testament.
¿Hay un punto?
No hay punto de Dios! He is telling us who we are, what we were made to be and what we have become. He is telling us what He has had to witness, llorad con, and address in order to bring us back to our destiny. He is telling us the cost, el sufrimiento incesante dolor de Dios y el hombre, de todo lo creado por el mal uso de nuestra autoridad humana, el costo de la ignorancia, el costo de la perdición, the cost of the dream behind giving man authority in the first place. He is telling us everything else has been tried in human history and failed. He is telling us that we want the wrong king, que estamos buscando el reino mal y cada vez que pretende dinamizar la humanidad en la dirección correcta, nosotros lo negamos!
When we reject the Old Testament pain we are rejecting God’s view of humanity and reality. We are saying that we don’t want this God to be God. We don’t want this to be the truth about who we are. We do not what this to be the story. We want Jesus! And Jesus does come.
Queremos Jesús
When Jesus comes his male peer group is slaughtered. When He comes His own people work with a pagan empire to execute Him. He is not the King they want. “But He is resurrected. He ascends!” He does, y el Espíritu viene, the power of God in man to carry out his destiny. "Sí, este es el Uno; this is the King we asked for.” The church explodes and sweeps the known world. “Yup, this is the wave we were waiting for.” But then it begins. Persecution from within, creyentes conjurando a los creyentes; and from without political domination and persecution from Empirical governments with different agendas. The church struggles to be His church and we continue to argue about what kind of King He actually is, todo el camino a través de los tres primeros capítulos de la revelación.
Si Él no ha venido para darnos el control? If He has not come to give us peace and comfort, si Él no ha venido a dejar el pecado y la violencia, entonces ¿cuál es el punto? Why are we still here, en la tierra, sufrimiento?
Esa es una pregunta muy importante y de la respuesta que tendrá que caminar a través de lo que Dios ha caminado a través y ver lo que él ha visto usted entenderá lo que entiende acerca de la justicia, en la tierra y en el cielo.
“Many people have compassion for the lost. I have compassion for God.”
