¿Los adventistas somos los únicos que debemos explicar por qué se demora la segunda venida de Jesús?
*Nota del editor: En Latinoamerica están surgiendo nuevas especulaciones que intentan explicar el retraso de la segunda venida de Jesús. La Teología de la Última Generación sostiene sin fundamento bíblico que “la falta” de perfección (impecabilidad) entre el pueblo de Dios impide la parusía. Algunas teorías especulativas intentan avivar la inminencia como la Agenda 2030 […] Source: https://atoday.org/los-adventistas-somos-los-unicos-que-debemos-explicar-por-que-se-demora-la-segunda-venida-de-jesus/

Tuesday: A God Who is Close
The God of Creation, who brought the sun, moon, and stars into existence, whose awesome power created this planet and filled it with living things, is also a God who is interested in each one of us. He is the God who delivered His people from Egyptian bondage, who guided them in their wilderness wanderings, who rained manna out of heaven, who caused the walls of Jericho to collapse, and who defeated Israel’s enemies. The same God who unleashed His infinite power to create the universe unleashes that infinite power to defeat the forces of evil that wage the battles for our souls.
Read 2 Corinthians 5:17, Psalm 139:15-18, Acts 17:27, and Colossians 1:17. What do these verses teach us about the closeness of God?

Theologians talk about the transcendence of God. This is the idea that God exists above and over all of the Creation. But they also talk about the immanence of God. This is the idea that God also, somehow, exists within our world and, as biblical history shows, is also intricately and intimately involved in it. Though the Lord dwells in a “high and holy place,” He is also “with him who has a contrite and humble spirit” (Isaiah 57:15, NKJV). As Jesus Himself said, talking about His faithful followers: “I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:23, NKJV). It doesn’t get more intimate and closer than that.
The great news about our God is that His greatness and power are so vast that it reaches across the cosmos and into each of our lives. He promises to remake us, mold us, transform us into the likeness of His image. Think about what that means. The God who created and who sustains billions of galaxies is the same God not only in whom “we live, and move, and have our being“ (Acts 17:28), but also works in our hearts, to give us new hearts, to purge us of sin, and make us into new creatures in Christ. What a powerfully comforting thought to realize our God, a God of such power, loves and cares for us.
| How can we learn to draw hope and comfort from understanding the immanence of God? Or does it scare you, because God knows your darkest secrets? How should the gospel give you peace in that context? |
Amen!

The Thief on the Cross: A Story of Redemption and Grace
In this video, Clifford Goldstein shares a closer look at the story of the thief on the cross and how it can deliver a powerful gospel message we can all learn from. This video dives deep into the story of two thieves crucified alongside Jesus and how their attitudes differed toward Him. While one thief mocked and reviled Jesus, the other changed his heart and confessed his guilt. Despite his past sins and faults, he was the only human being outside Jesus who truly understood what was happening on the cross. He cries helplessly, asking Jesus to remember him when He enters His kingdom. Jesus responds with grace and mercy, saying he will be with Him in paradise. This topic reminds us that we are justified by faith, and there is no sin too great for the grace of God. So if you're feeling weighed down by your past or present sins, know that hope and forgiveness are available through Jesus Christ. Watch the full video now and be inspired to strengthen your faith and trust in God. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.
