Según la Biblia, Jesus is the Head of the Church. The Church is His Body and should represent Jesus Christ and establish His Kingdom on earth. The Church should yield to Jesus Christ; the Word and listen to Jesus and obey Jesus. But is Jesus still the Head of the Church? Do Christians submit to Jesus and do they hear and obey His words or do the words of Jesus make them uncomfortable and offend them and is Jesus thrown out of the church? Como en el Antiguo Pacto, Jesus was thrown out of the synagogue by the people, que pertenecían a la casa de Israel, because the words of Jesus offended them and they couldn’t bear Jesus’ palabras?
Jesus preached in the synagogue
Y all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust Jesus out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong. But He passing through the midst of them went His way (Luke 4:28-30)
Jesus was raised in Nazareth. The people knew Jesus as the son of Joseph, the carpenter. When Jesus went on the sabbath day to the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus stood up to read. The minister gave Jesus the book (the scroll) of the prophet Isaiah, and Jesus read:
El Espíritu del Señor está sobre Mí, porque Él me ha ungido para predicar el evangelio a los pobres; Él me ha enviado para sanar a los quebrantados de corazón, para predicar la liberación a los cautivos, y la recuperación de la vista a los ciegos, para poner en libertad a los quebrantados están magullados, Para predicar el año agradable del Señor (lucas 4:18-19)
Después de que Jesús pronunció estas palabras, Jesus closed the book and gave it back to the minister. While all eyes were fastened upon Jesus, Jesús les dijo, “This day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.”
The people honored Jesus as long as Jesus spoke gracious words
All the people, who were in the synagogue bore Jesus witness and wondered at His gracious words. They were todo impressed and amazed by Jesus, as long as Jesus spoke gracious words.
Because when Jesus began to speak about His crucifixion and the Kingdom of God that would come unto the Gentiles, because the people of Israel wouldn’t listen to God, and when Jesus confronted them with their behavior, their admiration and amazement changed completely. De repente, they were not so amazed anymore and didn’t agree with Jesus.
You will surely say unto Me this proverb, Physician, heal Thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Thy country. And He said, De cierto os digo, No prophet is accepted in His own country” (lucas 4:23-24)
Jesus spoke hard words
Jesús continuó y dijo, “But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian (lucas 4:25:28)
Jesús les dijo, how God sent Elijah to the widow in Sarepta, a city of Sidon (in Lebanon), and to the Syrian Naaman (Syria).
God looked after these two people, while His own people; the people of Israel, had the right to the provision of food and healing. But God didn’t send Elijah to any one of them.
Por qué? Because God’s people were driven away from Him and had turned their back on Him.
King Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the sins of Jeroboam. Acab tomó a Jezabel, the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, as his wife. He served Baal and worshipped Baal (Leer también: What is the doctrine and spirit of Jezebel).
King Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
God’s people did what was evil in His sight. They wouldn’t listen to God and His prophets. They didn’t want arrepentirse de sus pecados, but they kept walking in rebellion against God.
Jesus thrown out of the synagogue
When Jesus confronted God’s people in the synagogue, they all became filled with wrath. They couldn’t endure Jesus; the living Word anymore.
They admired and loved His gracious words and the wonderful promises of prosperity. But when Jesus confronted them with these hard words, they couldn’t endure the words of Jesus any longer.
The people had itching ears and couldn’t hear sound doctrine of Jesus. They couldn’t handle the truth of God. Por lo tanto, they were not amused when Jesus confronted them with their evil walk and their sins.
The people became so angry and filled with wrath that they stood up and threw Jesus out of the synagogue and out of their city. They were furious, filled with hatred, and brought Jesus to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, and wanted to cast Jesus down headlong.
They wanted to get rid of this Man, who interfered with their lives and exposed their sins.
Their hearts were filled with such hatred, that these feelings of hate turned into murderous feelings.
These so-called holy people were able to murder Jesus Christ, el hijo de Dios.
The God, Who they all supposedly knew. But if they really had known their God and served God wholeheartedly, they had never wanted to murder His Son, Who was the reflection of God (Oh. Hebreos 1:3).
Pero la verdad es, that they didn’t know God, but they served an imaginary God, like so many Christians today have created an imaginary God and serve an imaginary Jesus (Leer también: Un Jesús falso produce cristianos falsos).
They only kept the law of Moses (leyes, Rituales, Sacrificios, Fiestas, etc.) before the eyes of the people. They spoke pious words in front of others, but their hearts were far away from God (Leer también: The similarities between the leaders of God’s people then and now).
Their outward appearance was far more important than their inward appearance. They didn’t have a relationship with God and therefore they didn’t know Him. Por lo tanto, the true voluntad de Dios was hidden from them.
¿Jesús es expulsado de la iglesia??
But what about this age? Isn’t this still the case and isn’t Jesus thrown out of the church? Hasn’t Jesus, la palabra, been thrown out of many churches, just like Jesus was thrown out of the synagogue? And you know what the worse thing is? That the people are not aware of the fact, that they have thrown Jesus out of the church. Just like the people in the synagogue didn’t know.
When a preacher speaks positive motivational words, words of prosperity, riqueza, and grace, the preacher is worshiped and honored by the people.
This also applies to prophets. Because as long as a prophet speaks positive encouraging words to the people and gives wonderful prophecies to the people about their lives, futuro, ministerio, La Iglesia, areas, países, etc.. the prophet is adored and worshiped and is welcome in the churches.
But as soon as a preacher, pastor or prophet comes with the truth, which often goes together with correction and exhortation, the people become offended.
Instead of submitting to the words of God, which are spoken by God’s messenger, the people become offended, enojado, rebelde, and oppose these admonishing words and reject them.
Desafortunadamente, many Christians can’t endure the sound doctrine of God’s Word anymore. That’s mainly because their flesh has been nourished all these years. Therefore their flesh reigns in their lives and they are controlled by the will, deseos, y deseos de su carne
They rather listen to the words of man than the words of God. Por lo tanto, they reject the true words of God. But by rejecting the words of God, they reject Jesus the Living Word.
Many churches have appointed preachers, pastores, profesores, and prophets, who are carnal and preach motivational sermons that will feed the flesh of the people. They will preach deceptive and compelling words after the people’s own personal cravings (deseos), that will approve of their carnal lusts and desires and accept and promote sinorte en la iglesia.
Porque llegará el tiempo en que no soportarán la sana doctrina.; pero según sus propias concupiscencias se amontonarán maestros, tener picazón en los oídos; Y apartarán de la verdad el oído, y se convertirá en fábulas (2 Timoteo 4:3-4)
Repent and return to the Word
But as long as Jesus has not returned for His Church, there is time for repentance. Permítanos, por lo tanto, humble ourselves and ask forgiveness, for the fact that we have thrown the Word; Jesus out of the church and have replaced the Word with our own human words.
Permítanos arrepentirse and turn back to the Truth; the Word and adjust our lives Para la palabra, instead of adjusting the Word to our own personal carnal cravings, voluntad, deseos, y deseos. Let there be verdadero arrepentimiento in the hearts of the believers. Let’s focus on Jesus Christ instead of focusing on ourselves.
If you really want to follow and serve Jesus, then it means a complete dying in the flesh (to all your desires, deseos, voluntad, opiniones, emociones, sentimientos, etc.). It means to dejar de lado al viejo y para ponte el hombre nuevo, who is born of water and Spirit and created after the image of God.
“Se la sal de la tierra”
