The Purpose of God Called in Reflection
It is extremely interesting to the transforming power of God with regard to the manifestation of the glory of God fulfilling his purpose on earth, what purpose would that be? In the beginning God created Adam and Eve, humans with the creation of God, his image and likeness, created to worship him and serve him with an ordinance to grow and multiply, thus created a generation after Christ (Genesis 1 :26-31). We all already know what happened, came to Adam and Eve disobeyed God about what we had proposed for them (Gen. 3). Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden and bringing upon themselves some consequences (Genesis 3:14-24). Since then the generation that has been created is a generation according to Adam, a sinful generation, which tends to the things of the flesh, this generation has grown up and you see more in each sinking sin. Christ sacrificed his immense kindness so that we have a choice of life, eternal life, yet many came to reject it and sinful generation continues, but with the sacrifice of Christ, God has his purpose to bring back all who receive him for a restored relationship with God and thus began a new generation recreated according to Christ. Many received Christ the Redeemer, but more have not yet received and based on that I want to talk a little about "The Purpose of God with the so-called Reflection" based on the story of John 4:1-30 / 39-45, which speaks totally on a power transformer through evangelism, missions mobilization through the words of truth of Christ and a provision to fulfill the Father's will or God's call, as preferred. When I first read this passage I realized looking at the map that Christ came from Galilee to Judea way, sometimes going to other regions such as Gadara and Gesara, where Christ performed many miracles there letting people who undertook to preach his gospel, as Gerasene former demoniac, this analysis I realized that Christ was one way to Judea beyond the Jordan, and was the normal way by the passage of Samaria, except that when Christ was in Judea he had to return to Galilee (John 4: 1-3) then from there he returned to Galilee now the normal way in Samaria, there soon arose the doubt. For Christ did not come back the same way you came (besides Jordan)? It was then that I began to notice some very relevant points for the revision of my ideas as a Christian. Answering the question above, Christ had a goal of glorifying God in doing his will. Christ was not focused on their targets. Many believed in Decapolis in the word of Christ because of the testimony of the man who was cast out a legion of demons (Luke 8:26-39), many others believed in Christ because of his miracles, healings and deliverances (Mt.8) provided with an extreme intimacy with God (Matthew 4:2). Christ was aware that the power of God was with him as he passed by where the glory of God would be manifested in him, so Christ began in Jerusalem, continuing in various places of the Decapolis, speaking the truth, judgment and making a great job of healing and restoration, taking the captives to repent and believe in Christ as the only and sufficient savior. So the focus of Christ was not only a specific city, but, everywhere there was an opportunity to proclaim salvation, due to the manifestation of God's glory. Christ is going to Judea by a path, and when he has to return to Galilee, he goes the other, could be away for less or for any other reason, but when Christ took the opportunity to glorify God and that's what he did in its passage through Samaria.
Christ comes to the source of water with hunger and thirst (John 4:7) where the Samaritan women seeking water, and their relationship with Christ begins one of these women, "the famous woman of Samaria" (remember that the Jews did not get along with Samaritans). Christ once asked to drink and just admired woman also questioned Jesus (John 4:9). It is interesting that Christ leaves all the paradigms or customs of the time and continued to talk to his wife in order that a woman not knowing the truth was fully transformed into his conduct, in thought, finally, in his character. Christ did not start losing the opportunity to speak what he has to offer (Mt. 4:10-15), He awakens an interest in the woman talking of God's gift and if she knew him, he would give the living water. Christ did what He really knew how to do and at no time turned its focus to take all the glory to the Lord, making a new person to bow before him and acknowledged that Christ was the savior of the nation of Samaria as well. I remember something very important is happening today in our churches, forgetting that such a rich place where it shows an extreme transformation of a woman and then a society, forgetting transformation of a society and also of forgetting " Glory of God, "Christ came to this world only to fulfill the will of the Father, has shown a supernatural love and redemption to all creation that because sin has moved away from the primary relationship" Adam and Eve. " Christ in this passage (John 4:1-30) clearly shows that his word is transformative and through it will be fulfilled God's purpose (what man turns to God, being rebuilt in a generation the image of Christ), only the Unlike today realize that this purpose has been limited for us Christians who have received this rich love of Christ, who have received life instead of death (recalling the wonderful change of life, "The Sacrifice of Jesus, instead of mine. ") and we have not given a response to God in gratitude, on the contrary, Christians today must be kept in four walls instead of is in the forefront," when I refer to is stored in four walls and is in the forefront I'm not saying that everyone should go to the field, but I mean by this that all can not be limited and much less to settle within the churches. "We see this in the Bible when Christ liberates the possessed Gerasene and tells him to return to his family for their own family to watch the change of man's life, not only the family but the Bible says that all who heard him were astonished by the testimony of this man, this same man who formerly possessed approaches Jesus and asks him to go with his disciples also, but instead asks for him to be Christ, or God's purpose will be served to those who go and those who remain, since each one takes his share in this way, if you do not act to achieve that Incidentally, you are missing the opportunity that God has placed your hand, says in Isaiah 46:8-10 that He is God and He will make his will, then God's purpose will not fail to be realized, but you lose a great chance to be a helper of the expansion of the Kingdom of God on earth. While the Samaritan woman spoke of a natural water, assuming the stance of Christ evangelist spoke of living water that saciaria the soul and not the body, the woman is replaced by an interest and curiosity for the water and asks only that the thought the woman was still under materials quench your thirst in order that she not walk further to fetch water from the well, Christ then begins another phase of their evangelism (Matt. 4:16-18), the conviction of sin. Christ casts the bait "and will call your husband and come here ...", the woman has had five husbands and that she was was not it, Christ confronts the woman, only to realize that deviates from the subject dealt with Christ (Matt. . 4:20) and goes on to talk about worship on the Mount and Christ responds to it explaining the purpose of God "Worship God" (Matt. 4:21-24). Christ tells her that the time has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth and this is what the Father seeks to be His worshipers. It is felt that God's purpose was not simply take a cure or a multiplication of food, or free a captive, but also the conviction of sin, causing the person to turn to God and worship him. I find it so beautiful, when I look at the Bible and see in Genesis. 1:26-31 and 2:1-25 the formation of man and woman, made to serve the Lord in all his creation, and now seeing a generation that can not see to their shame, their sin I am brutally disturbed to see Christians stopped seeing churches only as a social club and not assuming their posture of a servant and start serving the Lord leading rich and fine delicacies of Worship, plates increasingly filled with repentant sinners extracting the essence of the deepest and intimate heart delivering a sincere devotion and gratitude. Then the woman to believe in a Messiah and Christ is revealed as the Redeemer, the woman believes and is convinced of their sins (Mt.4 :25-28). "Come with me and see a man who told me everything I ever did. Is he the Christ? Then they went out of town and came to him. Matthew 4:29,30 "I want to show that the end of this passage the vision of this woman. "I love to see the before and after the life of a person without Christ and with Christ, so I can see the visible manifestation of the Transforming Power of God." In the beginning I noticed that the woman lived in a practice of prostitution, always having an excuse not to serve the Lord, I also realize that she has had in his generation who know Christ, but lived in their practices, but what marks this end when she is convinced of their errors is missionary vision which is generated when she goes and call many others to know Christ and continuing in Mt 4:29-42 says that many Samaritans believed in Christ because of the testimony of this woman, for her sake Christ was invited to stay there for two days and many others believed the his word and I'm sure the God of heaven and earth was glorified, he was honored and worshiped in that city of Samaria. In the interval at which the woman will draw others to listen to Christ, the Bible says that the disciples came and offered food and Christ and responds "My meat is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish his work. Jo. 4:34 "That was the sole purpose of Christ, to glorify God himself. In this interval when Christ says: "Lift up your eyes and see the fields, they are white already to harvest. Jo. 4:35 "Imagine Christ with a stare at the horizon reflecting on the great need for more laborers. The fields are ready, where are the reapers? Some are working in distant fields or nearby, others are still within the church is available to act pro realm. Instead of saying that all Christians have a calling, I prefer to say that everyone is born of the Spirit, "The wind blows wherever it pleases, you hear its voice, but knowest not whence it comes or whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. "And if somo born of the Spirit we must comply with which Paul refers in Rom. 8:4-5 "... who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For those who live to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit. "And one things that is obedience to Christ in his ordinances, such as" Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded. And surely I am with you until the end of the world. Matthew 28:18-20 "
Conclusion
Our society today has lived a totally different reality than perhaps Christ craved. Today the inversion of values are clearly visible, God's principles being discarded around, forming more dysfunctional families dysfunctional families, finally, a generation growing totally sunk in sin, while the church live in listless search for certain "programinhas festivals or hot dog "to promote the construction of a larger temple, or perhaps a softer cushion to be able to accommodate increasingly within four walls and not on the front line. With all the love I desire that there be a great awakening of God in all Christians to assume that each of their Christian responsibility to do something to continue expanding the Kingdom of God and his glory. I am grateful to the Lord for many Christians who have already spent their days doing the IDE, even in countries that do not accept the Christian evangelization, lamenting the growth of religions of deception, but this is my prayer "May the kingdom of God come on earth and we Christians are involved deeply in this way! The Glory of God!
