Acts 4:32-35 Marxism! Communism! Socialism! This passage could be seen to propose community sharing of possessions and wealth, and, in fact, that is what it says. But Luke is not writing about a political system here – he’s writing about a specific faith community doing its best to practice koinonia as they understood it from…
Isaías 25:6-9 Isaías trata aquí de la visión escatológica del banquete eterno. Este banquete que se celebrará en el mundo es lo que dará lugar a una celebración que no puede ser sofocada por la muerte. Es aquí donde debemos escuchar las palabras de Jesús a los discípulos de Juan sobre el ayuno: “¿Acaso pueden…
Isaiah 25:6-9 Here Isaiah breaks into the eschatological vision of the eternal banquet. This banquet that will come upon the world is that which will give rise to a celebration that will not be squelched by death. It is here that we should hear Jesus’ words to the disciples of John on fasting: “The wedding…
I have noticed that Palm Sunday in our Episcopal tradition is often a fairly joyous occasion. We break out the palms, we march into church, we sing many of our favorite hymns, and we leave with a cross-shaped palm to hang from our rear-view mirror or a handful of palms to show everyone just how…
Jeremías 31:31-34 Jeremías ofrece esta visión de esperanza para el futuro después de que el templo de Jerusalén fuera destruido, el rey de Judá fuera deportado, y muchos de los israelitas estén en el exilio en Babilonia. ¿Es este juicio el fin del pueblo desobediente de Dios? ¿Cuál es su futuro? Los cristianos a menudo…
Jeremiah 31:31-34 Jeremiah offers this vision of hope for future after the temple in Jerusalem has been destroyed, the King of Judah has been taken away, and many of the Israelites are in exile in Babylon. Is this judgment of God’s disobedient people the end? What is the future? Christians often interpret this as a…
Números 21:4-9 Para Moisés y su comunidad, las serpientes representaban tanto una amenaza para la vida física de la gente que tenía la mala suerte de ser mordida y, si aceptamos su forma de pensar que Dios enviaba a las serpientes venenosas, como una retribución divina por su falta de fe que Dios proveería como…
Numbers 21:4-9 For Moses and his community, serpents represented both a threat to physical life for those unfortunate enough to be bitten and, if we follow their thinking that God sent the poisonous snakes, divine retribution for their lapse in faith that God would provide as God had promised. Yet they also were the sign…
Éxodo 20:1-17 Este es uno de los dos pasajes del Antiguo Testamento que contiene los Diez Mandamientos, el otro es Deuteronomio 5:6-21. El texto en sí no aclara cómo se han de dividir los versículos en diez, por lo que se han enumerado de forma ligeramente diferente entre las diferentes confesiones cristianas y los judíos….
Exodus 20:1-17 This is one of the two Old Testament passages containing the Ten Commandments, the other being Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The text itself does not make clear how the verses are to be divided into ten, and so they have been numbered slightly differently among different Christian denominations and Jews. But however they are divided,…
