Exodus 17:1-7 The Israelites are weary and thirsty in the wilderness, and in their desperation, they demand divine providence in the form of water. Moses is, perhaps, a bit frustrated by their rancorousness, but God rushes forth to nourish the people with a stream from the rock at Horeb. What do we make of these…
Génesis 12:1-4a La historia del llamado de Abram es una narrativa arquetípica que se repite una y otra vez a lo largo del relato bíblico. Artístico en su presentación, este texto también presenta verdades espirituales profundas. Nótese, por ejemplo, el uso de la autora en el versículo 1 de un recurso literario llamado endíadis: “Su…
Genesis 12:1-4a The Lord is pushing Abram. “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house.” He is challenging Abram to leave everything that he knows behind, and to form a new nation. It is a tremendous promise from God, but it is also meant to stretch Abram. Now, Abram really has to…
Isaiah 50:4-9a This part of Isaiah is interesting. If we look closely, it has a careful balance of human responses to God and each other. First, we find the value of listening and speaking. As God gives the prophet the gift of words, it is to use them to sustain the weary. And as God…
Génesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7 El Miércoles de Ceniza, se exhorta al pueblo de Dios a comenzar la observancia de una Santa Cuaresma. La disciplina de la Cuaresma ha de ser más que meramente renunciar a un postre favorito o tratar de hacer más ejercicio. Más bien, se pide a la Iglesia que observe una temporada de…
Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7 On Ash Wednesday, God’s people were exhorted to begin the observance of a Holy Lent. The discipline of Lent is to be more than merely giving up a favorite dessert or trying to exercise more. Rather, the church is called to a self-reflective season of contrition and confession, of turning again to…
Exodus 24:12-18 Exodus 24:12-18 provides an account of Moses’s ascent of Mt. Sinai for purposes of receiving the law and commandments. The reading begins with God’s two-part instruction to Moses to “come up to me on the mountain, and wait there.” Moses complies with these instructions, and sets out with Joshua toward the mountain. (Before…
Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 Leviticus: not the most popular book of scripture among many Christians. How does one read text that does not contain a discernible story with engaging characters, but only seemingly arcane rituals and laws that have no apparent relevance in twenty-first century Western Christian culture? We do not practice them or even believe…
Deuteronomio 30: 15-20 Moisés está llegando al final de su último sermón. Ha presentado ante Israel toda la ley, incluyendo las bendiciones del pacto y maldiciones (28: 1-68). Ha recordado a la gente que, si pierden el camino, el arrepentido será siempre bien recibido de nuevo gracias a las misericordias de Dios (30: 1-10). Y,…
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Moses is coming to the end of his final sermon. He has laid out before Israel the whole of the law, including its covenantal blessings and curses (28:1-68). He has reminded the people that, if they lose their way, the repentant will be ever-welcomed back into God’s mercies (30:1-10). And, by way of…
Isaías 58: 1-9a, [9b-12] Dios le ha dicho al profeta Isaías: “¡Grita, no te detengas!”, e Isaías habla en consecuencia, destacando la hipocresía del pueblo de Dios en sus prácticas devocionales. Esto continúa la petición de una renovación de corazón y comportamiento que vimos en Miqueas la semana pasada. Isaías dice que el pueblo de…
Isaiah 58:1-9a, [9b-12] God has told the prophet Isaiah to “Shout out, do not hold back!”, and Isaiah speaks accordingly, drawing out the hypocrisy of God’s people in their devotional practices. This continues the call for a renewal of heart and behavior that we heard in Micah last week. Isaiah says that the people of…
