Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes Los hombres siempre están interesados en cosas grandes, aun los discípulos de Jesús Marcos 10: 35-45. Las cosas que realmente son grandes It appears that the mother of James and John (probably Solome, Mark 16: 1 compared to Matthew 27: 56) joined in with her sons regarding their request to be great. Jesus, in reply to Peter’s question “what is our reward?,” had just told them that they would all, “…sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Matt. 19: 28, cp. Mark 10: 28-31). Now James and John desire outstanding recognition and positions over the ten pertaining to the Lord’s Kingdom. Perhaps they thought that their kinship to Jesus would entitled them to such great positions. Regardless, Jesus uses this opportunity to teach about greatness, true greatness (Mark 10: 42-45). There are truly great matters and then by comparison, greatest things. We shall consider some greatest things in this study.

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes Amor – El más grande principio para la salvación I Cor.13:1-8. In dealing with the greatness of love and showing how love is the greatest principle and emotion, there are a number of verses to be used. For instance, I Corinthians 13: 13, Galatians 5: 6, and Colossians 3: 14.

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes La Sangre de Cristo – El más grande remedio para la redención del hombre Mat.26:28. The blood of Jesus provides expiation for who becoming a Christian and for the Christian (Matt. 26: 28, cp. Acts 2: 38; I John 1: 7). Without Jesus’ blood, there can be no redemption (Heb. 9).

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes La Cena del Señor – El más grande memorial espiritual I Cor. 11: 23-26. Mention some memorials and show their importance. Then point out that no memorial compares in significance and scope to the memorial of Jesus’ death. Hence, the Lord’s Supper is the greatest memorial of all.

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes El Cielo – La más grande esperanza que el hombre puede tener Efesios.4:4. The inheritance of the Christian is yet future and is reserved in heaven (Col. 1: 5, I Pet. 1: 4). See Hebrews 11: 13-16.

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes La Iglesia – La más grande institución Mateo.11:11. Jesus built this institution and provided his precious blood so it could become a reality (Matt. 16: 18, Acts 20: 28). God’s wisdom is certainly observed in his church, its work, organization, and nature (I Tim. 3: 15). It is a shame and disgrace when brethren start to resort to establishing their own privately funded organizations in which to pool their resources and through which to preach the gospel, edify saints, and exercise benevolence for needy saint, work God has assigned to his collectivity, the local church, to be overseen by God appointed and qualified elders!

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes La Biblia – La más grande guía para el hombre Salmos.119:104-105. Consider the inspiration and completeness of utility of the scriptures (2 Tim. 3: 16, 17).

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes El Pecado – La más grande maldición puesta sobre el hombre Isaias.59:1-2. Sin is indeed a curse, beginning with the original couple (Gen. 3).

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes El Evangelio – La más grande influencia Rom.1:16. The gospel has the ability to change the sinner and make him worship and serve his Creator and render him a source of good to all men (2 Cor. 5: 17).

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes El Alma – La más grande posesión Mateo.16:26. Jesus showed from his question that there is not anything to be compared to the soul of man.

Una Consideración de Cosas Grandes Los hombres desean grandes cosas, pero, frecuentemente se confunden respecto a lo que es grande. Todo lo que hemos visto es tan grande que no tiene comparación. It is sad that so many expend their time and energies sometimes over a life time in search and pursuit of matters not that great. What we have studied, these matters are truly great, greater, and the greatest!
