¿Dignos herederos de la Reforma Protestante?
Cada 31 de octubre se recuerda el acto que marcó un antes y un después en el mundo cristiano. Martín Lutero, el teólogo y fraile católico, que intentó reformar su iglesia y terminó provocando un cisma que jamás se habría imaginado.

Wednesday: Our Excuses: Uncomfortable Confrontations
Daily Lesson for Wednesday 1st of November 2023
“Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm” (Jonah 4:1-11:2, NKJV). What a beautiful prayer on the part of Jonah. Or was it?
Jonah had such a deep hatred for the people God sent him to that he felt it was better that he die than to lose face when the failure of his doomsday preaching against Nineveh was revealed. Jonah wanted Nineveh to be the next Sodom and Gomorrah. He was hoping for God’s judgment on these hated people. When it didn’t happen, his worldview was being shaken to the core, and Jonah would rather die than allow his world to be turned upside down.
For the second time in the story of Jonah, God confronts him, not with a sermon or a saying but with an experience. Worldviews are not formed on demand. Nor do they change because we hear something new or different. Worldviews are often formed and changed based on life experiences and how they are interpreted or explained.
The new experience God gave was to help Jonah recognize his own distorted worldview. God made a plant miraculously grow large enough in one day to offer sufficient shade to protect Jonah from the blazing sun. Jonah was grateful, not for God, who performed the miracle, but for the plant. Rather than seeing this as an unmerited miracle, he saw it as an appropriate and well-deserved blessing that followed his good works. When the plant died, it was a misfortune that caused Jonah to grow angry and insecure in his self-worth, and his thoughts grew suicidal.
The experience is followed by God’s voice of gentle correction, helping Jonah see how foolish it was for him to value a plant more than the many thousands of men, women, and children in Nineveh, as well as their animals.

Lesson 5 Excuses to Avoid Mission – 5.3 Our Excuses: Inconvenience
The significance of Jonah’s experience in the belly of the fish and his mission in Nineveh in overcoming inconveniences and prejudices in the service of proclamation: here are some thoughts on the key points:
-
Change despite inconveniences: Jonah’s example shows that even after a dramatic experience with God and His mercy, inconveniences and personal preferences do not disappear immediately. This reminds us that change and growth often require time and effort, even if we already have a relationship with God.
-
The effect of proclamation: In Jonah 3, we see how the people of Nineveh responded to Jonah’s message, even though Jonah may have had reservations. This underscores the power of God’s word and how God can work through our obedience, even when we are aware of our own weaknesses.
-
Humility and overcoming prejudices: Just as Jonah had prejudices against the people of Nineveh, we sometimes hold biases or reservations against certain individuals or groups. It requires humility to confront these prejudices and be willing to meet people with an open mind and God’s love.
-
Sacrifice in mission: Mission work often requires sacrifices in terms of time, emotional energy, and financial resources. It serves as a reminder that mission work is not always comfortable, but it is still of great significance. When we engage in mission, we give a part of ourselves to convey God’s love and hope to others.
-
Trusting in God’s promises: Finally, the commentary encourages us to trust in God’s promises. When we are willing to make sacrifices and engage in mission, we can trust that God will enrich our lives. His blessings are often more abundant than we can imagine.
In conclusion, this commentary invites self-reflection and consideration of the sacrifices God requires from us to share His love with others. It encourages us to overcome our shortcomings and trust in God’s guidance and promises as we engage in mission.
