00:00The glory of our Lord.
00:05Well, we pray through the word, that the Holy Spirit may accompany us,
00:10Because if God is not with us, there is nothing to be done.
00:14Without me, says the Lord Jesus Christ, you can do nothing.
00:18Therefore, we must be dependent on God.
00:21and dependence on God is put into practice.
00:25When we intercede and pray, He loves us.
00:27Lord, we thank you for this afternoon, Lord.
00:31Praise be to your Lord.
00:33We thank you for doing so many things for us, Lord.
00:38And most importantly, you rescued us from the mists, Lord.
00:43And you died for us on the cross, you paid the price, Lord.
00:46And here we are this afternoon, Lord.
00:50And we need you, Lord, as always.
00:53We are totally dependent on you, Lord.
00:56And this afternoon, Lord, we want to hear your word, Lord.
01:00Speak the truth, Lord.
01:02Sanctify us and purify us, Lord.
01:04Help the Lord to know you more, Lord.
01:07For this is eternal life, that we may know you, Lord.
01:12We give thanks to you, Lord, and bless your word.
01:14In the name of your Son.
01:16Amen.
01:16Well, let's prepare our hearts to hear the word of God.
01:25Our mind, our understanding, our attention.
01:31Let us value what we can hear because only in the Bible, only here, is the truth heard.
01:40That is, in the people of God.
01:42It is the absolute word of God, it is the absolute truth of God.
01:47We need to value it as such and make it important to us because it can transform and build our lives.
01:54It is food for our soul.
01:56It's really important.
01:57Much more important than anything else there is.
02:00Because it transforms us.
02:03That's what I'm going to talk about.
02:04I'm going to talk about being imitators of Christ.
02:08The title says so.
02:09To be imitators of Christ.
02:12And we have as our base text, First Corinthians 1 to 11.
02:19First Corinthians 11 to 1, pardon.
02:25Chapter 11, verse 1.
02:26He says, to be imitators of me.
02:29Just as I am of Christ.
02:34To imitate me.
02:36Just as I am of Christ.
02:37Pablo says so.
02:38So we see that he invites us to be imitators of Jesus.
02:43But he says something very important, brother.
02:46As I am of Christ.
02:50We are not meant to imitate human beings.
02:55Otherwise, we've already failed.
02:57Paul says, imitate one another.
02:59Imitate me.
03:01Because I am imitating and following Jesus.
03:04That's the reason for me.
03:06Only in this way can you imitate me.
03:08Because I imitate Jesus.
03:11Paul doesn't just tell us.
03:13Admire Jesus.
03:14Look to Jesus.
03:16Love Jesus.
03:17And what should go there?
03:18Yeah.
03:19He says, imitate Jesus.
03:21Imitate me.
03:22Because I invite Jesus.
03:23Then we can imitate Jesus.
03:25Clear.
03:26If we admire and love Jesus.
03:28But we didn't stop there.
03:30Lord, I love you.
03:31That's it.
03:32And I'm staying.
03:32Sir, I like you very much the way you are.
03:34But I never do what you demand of me.
03:37Or I never put into practice what you are.
03:41So here we are called to be imitators of Jesus Christ.
03:45And that is why we call ourselves Christians.
03:47We call ourselves Christians because we are followers of Christ.
03:50Imitators of Jesus.
03:52And that's what we're going to talk about in that state.
03:55To imitate involvement, consistency, practice.
03:58Carry out.
03:59It is following Him.
04:00It's wanting to be like Him.
04:02It is about valuing Him.
04:03It is to esteem Him.
04:04And wanting to be like Him.
04:06And to put that into practice in real-world situations.
04:08Day by day.
04:10I love you Lord with all my being.
04:13I love you above all things.
04:15But I never do what He commands me to do.
04:18So what love do I have?
04:20Towards Him.
04:21Because if I do it.
04:22And for me, he is a master.
04:24It's an example.
04:25If it's an example.
04:26Then I'll give you an example.
04:27And I put it into practice.
04:28To my life.
04:29That is why we are called Lord.
04:31To follow him.
04:32To love him.
04:32To obey him.
04:34To do his will.
04:37As Paul says here.
04:40Pablo presents himself as an example.
04:43Not by itself.
04:44Yes, because it says I invite Jesus.
04:46No?
04:47So.
04:47Christ is the perfect model to be imitated.
04:52The perfect model that exists.
04:55The universe of a being.
04:57It is Jesus Christ.
04:59Only He deserves to be imitated.
05:01Beloved.
05:02Continued.
05:03And to be Lord of our lives.
05:06Because it is.
05:06It is the Lord.
05:08Of those who believe.
05:09They don't believe it.
05:09Because he knows that.
05:10God created all things.
05:12Through Him.
05:13And for Him.
05:15Everything that exists.
05:16In the universe of Jesus Christ.
05:18He is Lord.
05:19Of everything that exists.
05:21From the one who recognizes it.
05:22And those who don't recognize it.
05:24He is the Lord.
05:25Yes or yes.
05:27So it's important.
05:28Let us imitate the Lord.
05:30Christ is the perfect model.
05:31In character.
05:32In obedience.
05:33In love.
05:34In service.
05:35In humility.
05:37There is no one like our Lord Jesus Christ.
05:39In character.
05:41In service.
05:42In humility.
05:43In obedience.
05:44In love.
05:46In serving others.
05:48Nobody.
05:50He's done what he's done.
05:51He left heaven with us.
05:53Brother.
05:53It tells us in John 13.
05:56In John chapter 13.
05:57Verse 13.
05:58The Lord tells us.
05:59Call me Master and Lord.
06:02And you're right.
06:04Because I am.
06:05Well.
06:06If I.
06:06The Lord and the Master.
06:08Teacher.
06:09It has taken him.
06:09He washed it.
06:10Your feet.
06:12You must also wash each other's hair.
06:15Because I've given examples.
06:17So that you may do as I have done for you.
06:18You too.
06:19Also.
06:20Do.
06:21He says.
06:22You call me Master and Lord.
06:25And you're right.
06:27Because I am.
06:28No.
06:29No.
06:29In reality.
06:30I am a teacher.
06:31And I am Lord.
06:33Nobody can beat me.
06:34The Master and the Lord.
06:36Because I am Lord.
06:37I am Lord of Lords.
06:39And King of Kings.
06:41And I am the Master of Masters.
06:43And the Shepherd of Shepherds.
06:45Okay.
06:45Diceis.
06:46I am not.
06:47But let me give you an example now.
06:49Of humility.
06:50Service.
06:50Delivery.
06:51As a real authority should be.
06:54Here's an example.
06:55And now you.
06:56Being I the Lord and the Master.
06:59If I do it as Lord and Master.
07:01You have to do it too.
07:03Because it says so.
07:05For example.
07:06He has given it to you.
07:06I put my life at your service.
07:11And I'm using it as an example.
07:14You should do the same.
07:15The Bible tells us.
07:16You should do the same.
07:17If I am like the Lord.
07:19I, as a teacher, do it.
07:21You too.
07:22There is no excuse anymore.
07:24You have no excuse.
07:25If I, being the Lord and Master, have done it.
07:28What excuse do you have?
07:29To avoid being humble.
07:32It's useless.
07:33So as not to give one's life for others.
07:35In the service.
07:36Because that's what it's about in that context.
07:40So.
07:41Let us imitate Jesus in that.
07:43Let us imitate him in unity.
07:44In the service.
07:45And he tells us.
07:46Do what I have done.
07:50In the first of Peter.
07:52In the first of Peter.
07:54Two.
07:55Chapter Two.
07:56Verse twenty-one.
07:57He tells us.
07:57That's what you were called to do.
08:00Because Christ also suffered for us.
08:03Leaving us an example.
08:05So that you may follow in their footsteps.
08:09TRUE?
08:09Very light.
08:10For this you were called.
08:12For this you were called out of the world.
08:14Where I lived for you.
08:16In egocentrism.
08:18In pride.
08:19In arrogance.
08:20Apart from God.
08:23Living however you wanted.
08:25No.
08:26You were called.
08:26Because Christ also suffered for us.
08:29Leaving us an example.
08:31Service.
08:31Delivery.
08:33So that you may follow in their footsteps.
08:35So that you may continue.
08:36So that you may follow their example.
08:38Because before.
08:39As it says.
08:39Before.
08:40Before.
08:40It was extreme.
08:41They will save their light in the Lord.
08:42That's why.
08:43This is what you were called to do.
08:45Siblings.
08:45All of us.
08:46We are called.
08:48To follow Jesus.
08:49For example.
08:50Because.
08:53That is why we call ourselves Christians.
08:54As I said before.
08:55That is why we are called children of God.
08:57And Christ is the son of God.
08:59And we are children of God.
09:01So we need to have that example of Jesus.
09:03In our lives.
09:04Like him.
09:05Imagine.
09:06Christ.
09:06The Lord.
09:07The Master.
09:08He ate a towel.
09:10And he washed their feet.
09:11Yours truly.
09:14He bent down.
09:15And the feet first.
09:16They weren't like they are now.
09:17I assure you.
09:19It was different.
09:21And he bent down.
09:22And he washed their feet.
09:23You can imagine.
09:24The Lord of the Universe.
09:25The one who created all things.
09:27The one who speaks to the wind.
09:28He falls silent.
09:29And that's it.
09:31The one who tells the blind man.
09:32Let him see and see.
09:33The one who tells the lame man.
09:34Let it walk and walk.
09:36The one who tells Lazarus.
09:37Let him rise from the grave.
09:38And out it goes.
09:40At his word.
09:41Lazarus.
09:41Salt.
09:42And he left.
09:44The one who saw it.
09:46John in Revelation.
09:47He fell as if dead.
09:49The one who died.
09:50And he rose again.
09:51The one who gave his life.
09:52And he says.
09:53I have power.
09:54To give.
09:54To get my life back.
09:56Nobody can take it away from me.
09:58I'll put it on.
10:00And I bring him back to life.
10:02And that man.
10:03That Master.
10:04He bent down.
10:06And he washed their feet.
10:07From the Masters.
10:08Of the Apostles.
10:10From his followers.
10:11And leaving it as an example.
10:12To ourselves.
10:14Not just anyone has done it.
10:15Not just anyone, brother.
10:17We speak of the Lord.
10:18Of all things.
10:19And that He is the true Lord.
10:21The one who is in control.
10:22And the sovereign.
10:23And the Almighty.
10:26The one no one can beat.
10:29But look at the example with him.
10:31And us.
10:31Now it's our turn.
10:32What excuse do we have?
10:34If we tell him.
10:35To the wind.
10:36For.
10:37And the wind continues.
10:39We tell him.
10:39The dead.
10:40Your strength.
10:41Without Christ.
10:42Dead.
10:43Rise again.
10:44You take home thousands.
10:45And millions of years.
10:46You yell at him.
10:46Dead.
10:47The dead man.
10:47The tomb does not remain.
10:48There's nothing you can do.
10:49Without Jesus.
10:50Neither you.
10:50Neither do I.
10:51And now.
10:52Just in case.
10:53We got angry.
10:54And it fills us with pride.
10:56And I won't speak to him anymore.
10:57And that's all I'll say.
10:58By whom I told you.
10:59Not even that.
10:59And so on.
11:00And we cannot forgive.
11:02Little things.
11:03To little people.
11:04Let it fail us.
11:06Little things.
11:07To little people.
11:08In comparison with Christ.
11:10And now.
11:10Christ forgave.
11:11All his offenses.
11:12You know?
11:13He does not forgive us.
11:14Great things.
11:15Against a great being.
11:19Who is our Lord Jesus Christ.
11:21Who is God?
11:22And now.
11:22He calls us.
11:23And not even that.
11:23Well, for this one.
11:24You were called.
11:25Brother.
11:26Remember that well.
11:27That word.
11:28What is the Lord saying to you today?
11:29For this.
11:30You were called.
11:33Because also.
11:34Christ suffered for us.
11:35Leaving us.
11:36Example.
11:37So that you may continue.
11:38Christ.
11:38So.
11:39Let's continue.
11:39Jesus's passing.
11:41In character.
11:41Obedience.
11:42Love.
11:43Service.
11:44Modesty.
11:47We brothers.
11:48We don't follow trends.
11:50Fashions.
11:51It's in fashion now.
11:52Christianity.
11:53We follow Christianity.
11:55No.
11:55We're still here.
11:56One person.
11:57Who is the Lord Jesus Christ.
11:59Who is God?
12:01Incarnate.
12:01That left heaven.
12:02And he died for us.
12:03On the cross.
12:04And when he rose again.
12:05From the grave.
12:06He stated clearly.
12:08That's who he said he was.
12:10Who is God?
12:11Because he conquered death.
12:12And no one conquered death.
12:14And all the other teachers.
12:16And guru.
12:18And those he taught.
12:19And prophet.
12:20you bring to the grave.
12:21And we did not rise again.
12:23But Christ rose again.
12:25And he will return for us.
12:28And he is with us.
12:29And He will guide us.
12:31And he tells us.
12:32And be with you.
12:34Now and forever.
12:36And He will always be with you.
12:37And the Lord Jesus Christ tells us.
12:39No?
12:40So.
12:40He lives.
12:41That's why he can help us.
12:43A being that is in the tomb.
12:45He can't help us.
12:46But Christ rose again.
12:48And he is God.
12:48And He has the power to help us.
12:50Brother.
12:51So we don't follow a spiritual current.
12:54That's what's being taken away.
12:55It's fashionable.
12:56Which is cool.
12:57We don't follow each other.
12:59To a person.
13:00He is the person of God.
13:01He is the person of God.
13:02That became incarnate.
13:03He embodied our Lord Jesus Christ.
13:07We should imitate him.
13:10Because he deserves to be imitated.
13:12Because, as I told you before.
13:13Nobody is like him.
13:14And we'll continue for a little while.
13:16Here.
13:17For example.
13:19I have a few points noted down.
13:21In humility.
13:22Let's take a look.
13:22In humility.
13:24In love.
13:24In obedience.
13:25And in service.
13:27No?
13:27Let's begin with humility.
13:30Let us imitate the Lord.
13:31In humility.
13:33In Matthew.
13:35Chapter 11.
13:36Verse 28.
13:3828 to 30.
13:39He tells us.
13:40Come to me.
13:40All of you who are here.
13:41Worked and loaded.
13:43And I will give you rest.
13:45To bear my yoke.
13:46About you.
13:47And learn from me.
13:49That I am meek.
13:50And humble of heart.
13:53And now it's time to rest.
13:55For your souls.
13:56Because of my yoke.
13:57It's easy.
13:58And lightweight.
13:58My flesh.
13:59Brother.
14:00What does he say to her?
14:01About him.
14:02Tell me.
14:03Learn from me.
14:04Because?
14:04Learn from me.
14:05That I am meek.
14:07And humble.
14:08From the heart.
14:09And look at something very important.
14:12And you will find rest.
14:13And you will find rest.
14:14For your soul.
14:16Learn from me.
14:17To be meek and humble.
14:18From the heart.
14:19As I am.
14:20And your soul will rest.
14:23But if you are proud.
14:25If you are arrogant.
14:26If you put yourself in God's place.
14:27There will be no rest.
14:28There will be no rest.
14:28For your soul.
14:31That's why, brother.
14:32Many times.
14:33There is no rest.
14:34For our soul.
14:34Because we put on.
14:35And we got into position.
14:36Instead of Gods.
14:38And we want to control everything.
14:39And let everything be done.
14:40As we command.
14:42And there is no rest.
14:43For our soul.
14:44Yes, we have to do things.
14:46As Christ commands.
14:47Not as we thought.
14:48And that here the Lord calls us.
14:50Give him a rest.
14:52To trust him.
14:54Follow him.
14:55To love him.
14:56To have confidence.
14:58And full faith.
14:59In it.
14:59Of his power.
15:01And learn from me.
15:02That I am meek.
15:03And humble of heart.
15:05So.
15:05As I told you, brother.
15:07Imitate humility.
15:08Be humble.
15:09Like Christ.
15:09And he is humble.
15:10There is no excuse.
15:11When we get to heaven.
15:12And tell Jesus.
15:13But I cannot be humble.
15:15Did you see?
15:16Says.
15:16If I am the Lord of all.
15:19And I was able to.
15:21What excuse do you have?
15:25Who are you?
15:26Oh man.
15:27As the scripture says.
15:29Why couldn't you forgive?
15:32Why couldn't you serve?
15:33Why couldn't you turn yourself in?
15:35Why did you have no mercy?
15:37What happened to you?
15:38Yes, I had it.
15:40And to say.
15:40Because look, brother.
15:41There is something very important.
15:42Christ.
15:42He's calling us to do something.
15:44But he did it first.
15:46For example.
15:47It calls us to be humble.
15:49He is humble.
15:50It calls us to serve.
15:51He served.
15:53He calls us to do the Father's will.
15:55He has done the Father's will.
15:57Everything that Christ calls us to.
15:59He's already done it.
16:00Absolutely.
16:01Perfectly.
16:01And there is no excuse.
16:03We don't have any.
16:03We don't have any.
16:05To put it simply.
16:05Because he says so.
16:06He says here.
16:07Because my rain is easy.
16:09And it was my broth.
16:10And I don't call him.
16:12I don't put a penny on it.
16:13I call him to rest in me.
16:15In my character.
16:17In my possession.
16:18In my possession.
16:18To do my will.
16:20Not by your strength.
16:22Then Christ.
16:23That's what it means to be a sledgehammer.
16:24And humble.
16:25From the heart.
16:26Because he's awesome.
16:27And humble.
16:28From the heart.
16:28And his brother used it as an example.
16:32We have it in Philippians.
16:33Philippians 2.
16:35Starting from verse 5.
16:38Up to verse 8.
16:40He tells us.
16:43So, you have that feeling.
16:46That was also in Christ Jesus.
16:49Which.
16:50Being in the form of God.
16:52He did not consider himself equal to God.
16:56As something you will do.
16:57Instead, he uncovered himself.
17:00Taking the form of a whistle.
17:02Made like men.
17:04And being in the condition of man.
17:06He humiliated himself.
17:08Becoming obedient.
17:09Until death.
17:11And death on a cross.
17:13So here we see.
17:14So, you have that feeling.
17:16That was in Christ.
17:17You have that attitude.
17:19That was in Christ.
17:20He being God.
17:22He didn't cling to that.
17:24He didn't cling to that.
17:25Sino se defujó.
17:27In addition.
17:29And wine came to the earth.
17:30He took a human body.
17:32And he humbled himself.
17:34Until death.
17:35And death on a cross.
17:36He humbled himself.
17:37It couldn't be anyone.
17:38Because if he doesn't want to.
17:40Brother.
17:41He is God.
17:43But he humbled himself.
17:44Until death.
17:45As it says.
17:45Which.
17:46Being in the form of God.
17:47He did not consider himself to be the same.
17:48Bye bye.
17:49Like something to hold on to.
17:51Or he says it clearly.
17:52Which feels in the form of God.
17:55He didn't cling to that.
17:56Sino se defujó.
17:58He came here on earth.
17:59And he says that he put himself in the condition of a man.
18:03And already being in the condition of man.
18:05He humiliated himself.
18:06In progress.
18:07Obedient.
18:08Until death.
18:08And death on a cross.
18:09Here we see an example.
18:11About what.
18:11He came to serve.
18:13He is obedient to the Father.
18:16And he is humble of heart.
18:18Leave the sky.
18:19And He comes and dies for our sins.
18:21And it tells us there at the beginning.
18:23Woe to you.
18:24That feeling.
18:25That attitude.
18:26Which Christ had.
18:28With us.
18:29So that's it.
18:30Imitate him.
18:32We brothers.
18:33We don't have any.
18:33He fell from a great height.
18:35From glory.
18:35But we.
18:37Where do we fall from, brothers?
18:39What is our glory without God?
18:41Let's be honest.
18:43Where do we fall from?
18:45If I humiliate myself.
18:46Who am I to not humble myself?
18:48But we're talking in a healthy way.
18:50Biblical.
18:52Because if Christ has done it.
18:54Often, right?
18:55Preaching the Gospel.
18:57He can tell you something.
18:58Someone, any words?
18:59And that's where he has to guide you.
19:01And keep quiet.
19:02And knowing how to deliver the message.
19:03So that the soul may be saved.
19:05But if you tell me.
19:06How could I not answer it?
19:07Who is he?
19:08But if Christ would say so.
19:10But look what he's done.
19:11Why die for it?
19:12No?
19:13If we are going to evangelize.
19:15We put our lives at the service.
19:17To those who speak to him.
19:19And we want him to be safe.
19:20For love.
19:21To Christ.
19:22Bye bye.
19:22And to those who get lost.
19:24But he's completely lost.
19:25It's lost.
19:27That's why he's responding like that.
19:28He can answer you.
19:29Offend.
19:30Insult.
19:31No?
19:31He hates you.
19:33But.
19:33That's how we used to be.
19:35When I didn't know Jesus.
19:37And our sins were dead.
19:38In crime.
19:39And if you look at the context of the fall.
19:41Us.
19:42Everything that was in the meat.
19:44He hated God.
19:46Through practice.
19:48In our minds.
19:49They were enemies of God.
19:51I could have a God.
19:52But there wasn't a real one.
19:54And in that state of rebellion.
19:56From strengthening to God.
19:58We have turned our backs on God.
20:00That is when Christ gave his life for us.
20:02In service.
20:03As he tells us here.
20:04And now he says.
20:05This is an example.
20:06Let him follow Jesus.
20:07At your service.
20:10And he gave his life in service.
20:11In humility.
20:12In obedience.
20:13In love.
20:14In sacrifice.
20:15He left heaven.
20:16That is to say.
20:16He left behind his comfort.
20:18He left the glory.
20:19And he gave himself up for us.
20:21Amen.
20:21So we have a clear example.
20:23Our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:24So.
20:25Invite Jesus.
20:26As well as.
20:27He loved us.
20:29Christ fled.
20:30In addition.
20:31We cannot imitate Jesus.
20:34If we exalt ourselves.
20:37If we are arrogant.
20:39With pride.
20:40If we always look at ourselves.
20:42And we always think of ourselves.
20:44And we imagine how great we are.
20:47And any word can hurt us.
20:49And whatever happens to us.
20:51It hurts us.
20:51We suffered days.
20:53And weeks.
20:54We cannot imitate Christ in this way.
20:55We can imitate it if we escape.
20:58If we force ourselves.
21:00If we humiliate ourselves.
21:03If we truly commit to obeying God.
21:06And we are meek and humble of heart.
21:09So.
21:10We cannot imitate Jesus in that way.
21:12In humility.
21:13But.
21:14She doesn't have any.
21:17Communion.
21:18Humility versus pride.
21:20And with arrogance.
21:22And with the pride of man fallen in Adam.
21:25He cannot have it.
21:27A communion with one another.
21:28You know?
21:29Then the man who lives.
21:30That is living in the flesh.
21:31He who lives in the flesh.
21:33He cannot be humble.
21:34And to imitate Christ.
21:35He who lives in the spirit.
21:37And obey God.
21:38Yes, you can.
21:41Imitate Jesus.
21:42Because it says so here.
21:42Christ who obeyed even unto death.
21:46He obeyed.
21:47He obeyed until death.
21:48So are we, brothers.
21:50Obey God.
21:51In fact.
21:51We will continue.
21:52And we're going to get to that.
21:53To obedience.
21:54That's when.
21:55Imitate Christ.
21:55In humility.
21:57After.
21:57Imitate Christ.
21:58In love.
21:59There is no bigger one.
22:00An example of love.
22:02That he.
22:02Our lord.
22:03It is Christ.
22:03Who gave his life for us.
22:05And the Father.
22:06Who gave up his Son.
22:07For us.
22:08In that way.
22:09God the world.
22:10Who gave up his Son.
22:11Goodborn.
22:12That all who believe in Him.
22:13Don't get lost.
22:14The more life I have.
22:15John 3:16.
22:17Example of the Father of love.
22:18Who gave up his Son.
22:20That I loved.
22:20To his Son.
22:21And look.
22:22Listen to me carefully.
22:23God the Father.
22:24He is a true father.
22:26There's nobody here.
22:27As a Father.
22:28Like Him.
22:28He is the example in everything.
22:30He loves his Son.
22:31She truly loves him.
22:33But still.
22:34He gave it up for you.
22:35Do you think he loves you?
22:38Put yourself in God's hands.
22:39If it's not heritage.
22:40He is his own Son.
22:41The student says.
22:42For you and me.
22:43Let's have life.
22:44The Roman says so.
22:45Not even his Son.
22:47He spared no expense.
22:48And he gave it up for you.
22:49Says.
22:49Why wouldn't He give us everything?
22:52Then we see the example.
22:53From the Father.
22:54From the Son.
22:55As it was delivered.
22:56For us.
22:57And we're going to look at it biblically.
22:58In Juan.
22:59Chapter 13.
23:01Verse 34.
23:0235.
23:03He tells us.
23:04A new commandment.
23:06I give to you.
23:07Love each other.
23:07To one another.
23:08Like me.
23:09I mean.
23:10Beloved.
23:11That too.
23:12Love one another.
23:13That's how I'll find out.
23:15He'll know everyone.
23:16You are my disciples.
23:17If I had love.
23:18One with the other.
23:20That's how it's known.
23:21That we are disciples of Jesus.
23:23Because we learn.
23:24And we invited him.
23:24And we invited him.
23:25In love.
23:25A new commandment.
23:26I give to you.
23:27I mean.
23:27It's one to another.
23:29Like me.
23:30It is to love.
23:32Brother.
23:32They don't put them on.
23:33I have it as a clear example.
23:35I love you all.
23:36I have loved you.
23:38And that's how you have to live love.
23:41Loving one another.
23:42And that's how everyone else sees it.
23:45Be my disciples.
23:47Because?
23:48Because you invited me.
23:49And you learn to truly love.
23:52Because I love.
23:53I know how to truly love.
23:55And I teach him to love.
23:56And invite me.
23:57So.
23:58Says.
23:59That's how you'll get to know me.
24:01It's for no other reason, brother.
24:02Says.
24:03That's how you'll get to know me.
24:04You are my disciples.
24:05Because of the love you have for one another.
24:08But he says.
24:09But before that.
24:10I have loved you.
24:12And he used it as an example.
24:13So.
24:14Imitate Jesus.
24:15In love.
24:15As He loved you.
24:17He loved you.
24:19In your condition.
24:20So.
24:20You love others.
24:22In the condition it is in.
24:24If I say so.
24:25How can I love that person?
24:26Because that person is a liar.
24:28Or other things.
24:30But Christ.
24:31He gave his life.
24:32For sinners.
24:33No?
24:35Because otherwise.
24:35It wouldn't make sense.
24:36So.
24:37He was killed by the weak.
24:39For the bad guys.
24:40For sinners.
24:41Because he's a liar.
24:42Because of adultery.
24:43Because of adultery.
24:44For fornicators.
24:45Because of what he stole.
24:46Because of what he stole.
24:48Therefore, he obeyed his parents.
24:50For those he cursed God.
24:54For all those people.
24:55Christ died.
24:57And he gave his life.
24:58And he showed his love.
25:00And now he tells us.
25:01But imitate me in love.
25:03With your brothers.
25:03And to all human beings.
25:06So, brothers.
25:07Let us be.
25:08Let us imitate Jesus.
25:09Because it is the ultimate example.
25:10In love.
25:12Prime example.
25:13In love.
25:13And it also tells us.
25:14In Etetius 5.
25:15Verse 2.
25:16Says.
25:17And walk in love.
25:18As Christ also loved us.
25:21And he gave himself up.
25:22For us.
25:23Offering and sacrifice to God.
25:26In smell.
25:27Fragán.
25:27That text says so.
25:29Very good, brother.
25:31And walk in love.
25:32It says how.
25:33Imitating Jesus.
25:34No.
25:34As Christ also loved us.
25:36And how he showed that he loved us.
25:38And he gave himself up.
25:39For us.
25:40That's how he showed us that he loved us.
25:44That he gave himself up.
25:46For us.
25:47And it says there, "Life in Romans."
25:48He says so.
25:49Because of Christ.
25:51He died for us.
25:52That's how he showed his love.
25:53When we were in debt.
25:54Says.
25:54When we were sinners.
25:56He didn't die for us.
25:58He was very good.
25:59If he didn't deserve it.
26:00That sacrifice.
26:02He died for sinners.
26:03For the weak.
26:04As I said before.
26:05For those.
26:06It offended God.
26:07For every kind of sin that exists.
26:09He gave his life in that condition.
26:12This is how love was shown to us.
26:14And to this love.
26:15Jesus calls us too.
26:17To invite him.
26:18To forgive him.
26:19To live in love.
26:19In sacrifice.
26:21In humility.
26:21In obedience to God.
26:23Then we see the ultimate example.
26:25Well.
26:25There is no one like Jesus.
26:26I assure you.
26:28I loved you as Jesus loved.
26:29Nobody can want it.
26:31Falling from a higher height.
26:32Like Christ fell.
26:33That is to say.
26:34From God's position.
26:36And humble yourself because you are God.
26:37There are no more gods.
26:39I am God.
26:40So.
26:41No one can be more humble than Jesus.
26:43And no one can love more than Jesus.
26:46We imitate Him.
26:48And we grow in that every day.
26:50But I want to do it.
26:53It's very important, brother.
26:55If you wish.
26:57You can come to love.
26:59Imitate Jesus.
27:00But what if you don't want any of that?
27:02You don't want to follow him.
27:04Love him.
27:05Imitate him.
27:06You and I can both arrive.
27:08Because otherwise I'm not interested in being like Jesus.
27:11I can one day become like Him.
27:13It's about desiring Jesus.
27:16Love Jesus.
27:17Wanting to be like Jesus.
27:19Wanting to love like Jesus.
27:20Wanting to be humble like Jesus.
27:23So.
27:24Yes, we can achieve it.
27:26If we sincerely desire it.
27:28That genuinely make us feel like brothers.
27:30If we are the same.
27:32If we're being honest.
27:33And we want to be like Jesus.
27:34So.
27:35Many times.
27:36Let's see that we are not.
27:38So what do we do?
27:38When we realize that we are not.
27:40We get on our knees.
27:41And we plotted, God.
27:43That he helps us.
27:44Because we want to be like Him.
27:46That's when the power of God comes into our lives.
27:49And it transforms us every day.
27:52By the grace of God.
27:53And the power of God that works in us.
27:55But I never acclaim.
27:57And I never tell him.
27:58How can you do anything?
27:59How can any change happen to me?
28:01If I don't want anything.
28:04In that spiritual matter, brother.
28:06If I do not want to be like Jesus.
28:08When I see that I cannot love.
28:10Not even my children.
28:11Not even my wife.
28:12Not even my family.
28:13Like Jesus.
28:13I have to want it.
28:16And suffer it.
28:17And pray.
28:18And search.
28:19And to desire to be like Him.
28:20Mister.
28:21I want to love as you love, Lord.
28:23Because look how you proved it to me.
28:25That you left heaven for me.
28:27And I didn't deserve to be loved like that.
28:29Because you have the Holy Spirit.
28:32That dwells within you.
28:33I assure you that you know I didn't deserve it.
28:36The love of Christ.
28:37And may He give His life for you.
28:39But he did it because he loves you.
28:41And it says elsewhere in Scripture.
28:43He loved you with an eternal love.
28:45He truly loves you.
28:47Because he proved it.
28:48That way we can show others that we love him.
28:52In practice.
28:54An example of this is when we sacrifice.
28:58With sacrifice, brother.
29:00There is no love without sacrifice.
29:02When I have to forgive an offense.
29:05I suffer from it.
29:06There's the old man who's hurting.
29:09May God leave his throne.
29:11He doesn't want to fall.
29:12That's when I suffer and it hurts.
29:15But there is a sacrifice to be made.
29:17To reach oneself.
29:18To get down to brass tacks.
29:19And obey God.
29:21And to forgive.
29:22Because it is a decision to forgive.
29:25And forgiveness is not a feeling or emotion of the moment.
29:29Because that's what it is.
29:30If I don't feel like forgiving, I don't forgive.
29:32It's a decision of the spirit.
29:35I forgive as Christ forgave.
29:37I forgive as God forgave.
29:39And if I struggle with that.
29:41There is a sacrifice to be made.
29:43We must cry out to God.
29:44May God help you.
29:45That I forgive.
29:46So.
29:47That's why.
29:48In all spiritual matters.
29:49A sacrifice must be made.
29:51One must deny oneself.
29:54Christian brotherly love.
29:56It is further demonstrated.
29:58With the facts.
29:59That with the word.
30:02The word.
30:03It is the word of God.
30:04To preach it.
30:05But if I say so.
30:06I love you.
30:06I love you.
30:07And I will never forgive you.
30:08I have no mercy.
30:10With you.
30:10I despise you, my heart.
30:12I hate you, my heart.
30:13And it shows in practice.
30:14In attitude.
30:15In the word.
30:16I don't want to spend time with you.
30:18I discard you.
30:18I see you a little less.
30:20So.
30:20Is there love there?
30:22There is no love.
30:23Love is seen in practice.
30:25And appreciation for everything else.
30:26With respect.
30:29When I'm serving it.
30:30What you need.
30:31There you have it.
30:32The word is meant to be preached.
30:35And then put into practice, brother.
30:38So.
30:39That we send Christ out in love.
30:40Because it's worth it.
30:43It's worth it.
30:45It is the ultimate example of love.
30:47So.
30:47Another example from Jesus.
30:49To imitate them.
30:50It is in obedience.
30:52In obedience to the Father.
30:53It is the ultimate example.
30:55As he obeyed the Father.
30:56Until death.
30:57And death on a cross.
30:59He discovered himself.
31:01The Father's will.
31:03It was that He should die for our sins.
31:05And Christ.
31:06He came out of love for us.
31:08And out of obedience.
31:09And love for the Father.
31:10He gave himself up for us.
31:11And it's like an example of obedience.
31:13The ultimate example of obedience.
31:15That may exist in the universe.
31:17To the Father.
31:18It is our Lord Jesus Christ.
31:20Vomit Him Out.
31:21And you'll never lose.
31:24In obedience.
31:25And off we go.
31:25I have a couple of verses.
31:27To read it.
31:28On obedience.
31:29Juan.
31:31Chapter 6.
31:32Verse 38.
31:34He tells us.
31:34Because I have come down from heaven.
31:38Not to do my will.
31:41But the will.
31:42From the one who sent me.
31:45Because I have come down from heaven.
31:47Not to do what I like.
31:48It is not my will.
31:49And I came down to do his will.
31:51That he sent me.
31:52My Father sent me.
31:53And I do his will.
31:56Example.
31:56Then in John 15:10.
32:00John 15:10
32:01He tells us.
32:02If you will keep my commandments.
32:05You will remain in my love.
32:07Just as I have kept.
32:09My Father's commandments.
32:12And I remain in His love.
32:14I have saved it.
32:16I have done the Father's will.
32:19If you will keep my commandments.
32:21You will remain in love.
32:22The Father is mine.
32:23If you will keep my commandments.
32:28You will remain in my love.
32:29Just as I have kept.
32:30My Father's commandments.
32:31And I remain in his love.
32:33If you want to imitate me.
32:34You must keep the commandments.
32:36You know what?
32:37I've saved it.
32:39Because I love my Father.
32:41I remain in the Father's love.
32:43I have kept my Father's commandments.
32:46And if you want to be an imitator.
32:47And you want to follow and obey me.
32:50And you acknowledge me as Lord of your life.
32:52You must keep the commandments as well.
32:56If you save it.
32:58It says here.
32:58If you keep that commandment.
33:01You follow me.
33:03That's not brother, to be saved by the commandments.
33:06So Christ says.
33:07Clear.
33:07If you keep my commandment.
33:08Stay with me, my love.
33:11And you imitate me.
33:12You follow me.
33:13You know me.
33:14And you follow me.
33:15But if not.
33:17If you don't follow.
33:18You do not keep my Father's commandments.
33:20Neither did mine.
33:22So who do you follow?
33:24You cannot ask the Lord.
33:26Then in John 8:29.
33:27He tells us.
33:29Because the one who sent me.
33:31He's with me.
33:33He has not left me alone.
33:34The Father.
33:36Because I always do.
33:38What pleases him.
33:39Because the one who sent me.
33:41He's with me.
33:43The Father has not left me alone.
33:46Because I always do.
33:47What pleases him.
33:48Brother.
33:49It's because.
33:50The Lord does not say.
33:51I always do it.
33:52Not ever.
33:54Always.
33:55All.
33:55Everything I do.
33:57All.
33:58My Father is pleased with it.
33:59And my Father.
34:00He's always with me.
34:03My Father.
34:04He's always with me.
34:06Brother.
34:07God sent us.
34:08To preach the Gospel.
34:09God.
34:10He's in that world.
34:11And he sent us.
34:12And He is always with us.
34:14But we.
34:16Many times.
34:19We don't.
34:20Always what pleases Him.
34:23Christ.
34:23Yes, it always has.
34:24What pleases him.
34:25So.
34:25We charged for that example.
34:27Christ.
34:27God sent us.
34:28To preach the Gospel.
34:29He sent us.
34:30To forgive.
34:31To love.
34:32Have mercy.
34:34So many things.
34:35May the Lord.
34:36Demand from us.
34:37And that's how we please him.
34:38Him.
34:39And that's how we imitate.
34:41To Jesus.
34:42So.
34:42He's always there.
34:43The Father with Him.
34:45Because He always will.
34:46Does.
34:47What pleases.
34:48The Father.
34:50Let that be your wish.
34:51In our hearts.
34:53To please God.
34:55Always.
34:56I want to please the Lord.
34:58But.
34:59If not.
34:59We can say.
35:00But I'm not perfect.
35:01Those meanings.
35:02I am a sin.
35:04But I wish.
35:06That's the problem, brother.
35:08I can.
35:08Choose that.
35:10I'm not perfect.
35:11As justification.
35:12To do.
35:12Anything I want.
35:14And not to be liked.
35:15Never to God.
35:16Could be.
35:17But I wish.
35:18To please God.
35:19Mister.
35:20I want to please you.
35:21I want to imitate Jesus Christ.
35:23I want to follow Him.
35:25I want to please you.
35:26I always want to please you.
35:27And if I fail.
35:29Gold.
35:29And I continue.
35:30But I want to please you.
35:31Always in my heart.
35:32It's about pleasing yourself.
35:33And do your will.
35:35And to honor you.
35:36And to glorify you.
35:38I wish that.
35:39With all my heart.
35:40Siblings.
35:41If we don't want that.
35:42To please God.
35:43Always.
35:44How can we please him?
35:45Because.
35:46I tell him.
35:46That word.
35:47That often.
35:48It is said.
35:49We are not perfect.
35:50It can be used.
35:51In a bad context.
35:52To justify.
35:53To live forever.
35:54As we please.
35:55Forks.
35:58This is not how we can imitate Jesus.
36:00Because we see that Jesus.
36:01It's going to fly out of the sky.
36:02Not to do whatever he wants.
36:04If to do the will of the bread.
36:06No?
36:06And so do we.
36:07In John 4:34.
36:12He tells us.
36:13I say to Jesus.
36:13My food is that you do what I will.
36:15From the one who gave it to me.
36:16And I have plenty of that here.
36:18What is our food?
36:19What is our delight?
36:20What are you eating, brother?
36:21What is our food?
36:23What is it that makes our hearts tick?
36:26Is it doing the will of the father?
36:29That is Jesus' food.
36:31If I invite Jesus.
36:32What does Jesus eat?
36:34What is my food in this world?
36:36Doing the will.
36:37What satisfies my heart?
36:39And it satisfies my inner man.
36:41That?
36:42What food?
36:43It is doing the will.
36:45Because when I want to do his will.
36:48I want to imitate the Lord Jesus Christ.
36:50In John 5.5.30 it tells us.
36:54I can't do anything for myself.
36:57I judge according to what I hear.
36:59And my judgment is fair.
37:01Because I do not seek my own will.
37:03But the will of him who sent me is the will of the Father.
37:07As?
37:08It tells us here.
37:09I can't do anything for myself.
37:11I judge according to what I hear.
37:12And my judgment is fair.
37:14And it asks, "Why?"
37:15Because I do not seek my own will.
37:17But the will of the one who sent me is the will of the Father.
37:20Every time, brother, we make a biblical judgment.
37:23Is it according to the Father's will?
37:25Or is it to condemn him?
37:26Or is it to look for other things?
37:28Or is it to justify ourselves?
37:29Brothers, how do we make judgments?
37:35Because the Bible says, judge with righteous judgment.
37:39We can never judge with righteous judgment if we do not desire and seek God's will.
37:44Because we can let ourselves be carried away by the flesh.
37:48Because of subjectivism.
37:49Because that's within us.
37:52Then, in order to search with righteous judgment, as Christ judged here.
37:56And He says so because I do not seek my own will.
37:58If you seek your will, you seek your flesh, your self-interest.
38:01He is subjective in what he does.
38:05So, judge.
38:06If you can misinterpret Scripture and twist it to suit your purposes.
38:13But if you seek God's will, then it will be good.
38:18It will be a fair trial.
38:20In Luke 22:42, he tells us,
38:24Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.
38:31Brothers, that is what I left in the context of the will.
38:35Latest.
38:36Christ was in this husband and there he suffered because he knew what was coming for him.
38:41He says, Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.
38:46How often do we do it like this, imitating Jesus?
38:50Lord, I don't want to suffer in that context.
38:52But if it is your will, if it is your will to suffer, then your will be done, Father.
38:58Because your will is good, pleasing, and perfect.
39:01Let it be above my desires, my suffering, what might happen to me.
39:06I am suffering.
39:07Christ suffered, the Scripture says, and wept with great tears, like drops of blood, the Bible says.
39:14And there he suffered and erased.
39:16But he says, Father, take that away from me, but let your will be done.
39:20And so we have to remove Jesus, may your will be done, Lord.
39:25I don't want to go through that, I don't want to do that, I don't want that to happen to me.
39:29Why has this trial come upon me, Lord?
39:31But your will be done.
39:33Because I know, Lord, because in the end, with you, I am more than a conqueror.
39:38My life is in your hands.
39:40And just as the Lord has said.
39:41And look, brother, the Father's will was clear.
39:44He had to go to the cross and die for our sins.
39:48He cried, and imagine the pain with which he cried.
39:52And he cried out to the Father, to a good Father, but Father, you have to pay.
39:58Because there was no salvation without Jesus Christ.
40:01And he died for our sins.
40:03And I start to think, how much did God love us?
40:05Who gave his Son for us.
40:09The Son cried out, but Christ had to pay the price so that you and I could be here needing you and hearing his word.
40:17Therefore, imitate God in the word.
40:20Jesus told him, even when it hurt him.
40:24Obedience is a clear proof of imitating Jesus Christ.
40:30If we obey the Father, if we obey Jesus Christ, that shows that we love him and follow him.
40:36We'll continue later, brother, because it's getting late.
40:38In service, Christ served.
40:41He came to serve.
40:42Mark 10:45
40:44For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
40:52It's clear, brother.
40:54Imitate Jesus in that.
40:55For the Son of Man did not come to be served.
40:57From within a land, imagine now, he is born in a great palace, he is the King of Kings.
41:03It starts there, everything is clean, the child is very well cared for, warmth, everything, so that he is like a man in paradise.
41:09And then he grows up in a grand palace, eats everything, everything is served to him.
41:13From the beginning.
41:16From the beginning, brother, a Tesebre was born.
41:18From the beginning He came to be, He did not come to be served, He came to sacrifice Himself, to serve, to set an example so that we would not be egocentric.
41:30And he served to the point that he gave his own life.
41:35He was the ultimate example, he served us, he gave his own life for us.
41:41So, that's how we have to imitate Jesus.
41:45In Matthew 20:25 it tells us.
41:48Then Jesus, calling him, said.
41:52Do you know that the rulers of nations were taught to be of it, and those who are great, to exercise power over it, protest?
42:00But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant.
42:07And whoever wants to be first among you must be your servant.
42:11Like the Son of Man, he did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
42:20For example, he says.
42:21I see how those in power live, the kings, the presidents, they live well, they have everything, they have authority, they burden the people with taxes, they command them, they do it, they manipulate them, and they always live well.
42:34But let it not be so among yourselves.
42:36And I set myself as an example, that I came down from heaven as king of kings, lord of lords, the owner of all things, I come to earth, I serve you, I wash your feet, and I am already giving my life for you.
42:51And that's the example I'm giving you.
42:53So it cannot be among you as it is in the world, where the great one among you rules over the people and takes possession of them.
43:01So if he has authority, it is to serve the people.
43:06Because that's how I set myself up as an example, the lord of lords.
43:10Lord, remember at the beginning, I am master and lord.
43:15And you say it well, because I am, because he is, brother, he is, he is master and lord.
43:21And look how I set it as an example for us.
43:23That's why I said it, you have another one in this world, another being who wanted me to be like him.
43:31No, brother.
43:33Jesus is perfect.
43:34You will find no being like Jesus Christ.
43:39To imitate Christ is to serve, not to seek to be served.
43:43It is about serving others.
43:45Well, we're almost done.
43:47So how can we imitate Jesus, brother?
43:50Because when we read here, we are sinners, brother.
43:54Sinners not by practice.
43:58That we are saved, restored, born again.
44:01We are sinners insofar as we practice sin.
44:05But sin still dwells within us.
44:08And we have a living struggle with sin.
44:11And that means, I have a living struggle with pride.
44:14I have a constant struggle with egocentrism.
44:17I have a constant struggle with pride.
44:19And so on.
44:20I have a living struggle with the idea that I like to be served.
44:24And that he gets in front of me.
44:26I have a real struggle with that.
44:28But I no longer live in that kind of sin.
44:31I no longer live in that kind of sin.
44:34But how do we win?
44:35As?
44:36Galatians 2:20.
44:38Galatians 2:20.
44:40I have been crucified with Christ.
44:43And I am no longer alive,
44:44but Christ lives in me.
44:46And what I now experience in the flesh,
44:48I live it through faith in the Son of God,
44:50who loved me and gave himself up to me in his own form.
44:54Brother, it is Christ in us,
44:55It is the Holy Spirit within us that gives us the victory.
44:58It's not because of our strength.
44:59It is not a human force,
45:01of a human power,
45:02a personal decision of yours without God.
45:05Without me, you can do nothing.
45:07Jesus Christ says so.
45:09But look how I am crucified with Christ.
45:12The living man is crucified with Christ.
45:15I no longer live, but Christ lives.
45:17And what I now experience in the flesh,
45:20I live it for the love of Christ,
45:23who loved me and gave himself up for me.
45:25He makes it clear.
45:26I know Christ loves me,
45:29He loved me so much that he gave himself up for me.
45:31And now what I experience in the flesh,
45:33I live it for Him,
45:34I live by faith in Him,
45:35I live it by serving Him
45:37And I want to be like Him.
45:38It is the power of God that acts in us,
45:41as it also says in Corinthians.
45:42But we, seeing the face as in a mirror,
45:48the glory of the Lord,
45:50We are transformed from glory to glory
45:51by the power of the Spirit.
45:52In his image, brother, huh?
45:54It is an imitator.
45:55It says so in Corinthians, doesn't it?
45:57Then in 2 Corinthians 12:9,
46:00He tells us,
46:02He already told me,
46:03Enough of my grace,
46:04because my power is made perfect in weakness.
46:07Therefore,
46:08I will gladly boast,
46:10rather in my weakness,
46:12so that I may place it upon myself
46:13the power of Christ.
46:15In other words, brother,
46:16come on,
46:17God's grace alone is enough to overcome.
46:20Because of the power of God
46:21It is in weakness that they are formed.
46:24When we recognize,
46:25When we are humble,
46:26that we are weak,
46:27when we recognize
46:28the need for God in our lives,
46:31we who have a real need for Christ,
46:34of God's power in our lives,
46:36if we truly want to be,
46:38as they read to him,
46:39humble,
46:40that we serve,
46:41that we love,
46:41such as obeying the Father,
46:43like a He,
46:44and we really see the lack in ourselves,
46:47that we don't do it the way He does.
46:49That is when we go to be a blessing to God,
46:52And we cry out to God,
46:53so that God may help us,
46:55to do his will,
46:56because we want to be like Jesus.
46:58I'm almost there,
46:59And that's it.
46:59After,
47:03in Luke 9,
47:0323,
47:04The Lord tells us,
47:05And he said to everyone,
47:06If anyone wants to come after me,
47:08deny yourself,
47:10Take up your cross daily,
47:11and continue.
47:12If you want to follow Christ,
47:13If you want to invite Jesus,
47:15There is no other way out,
47:16brother,
47:17sister,
47:17There is no other way out.
47:18The only one is,
47:20denying yourself,
47:22denying your flesh.
47:24Only in this way can one imitate Jesus.
47:26deny yourself.
47:27If anyone,
47:28He wants to follow me,
47:29If anyone wants to follow me,
47:31If anyone wants to imitate me,
47:32denying your flesh,
47:33denying yourself.
47:34And I'm going to end up at Colosense,
47:39Chapter 3.
47:41So,
47:42As I said before,
47:42We want to invite Jesus,
47:44We have to deny it to ourselves.
47:47And then,
47:47That's the last verse,
47:48verses that we are going to read,
47:50in Colossian 3,
47:515,
47:51says,
47:52Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you.
47:57Fornication,
47:58impurities,
48:00disordered passions,
48:02ill wishes,
48:03and greed is idolatry,
48:06thing for which
48:07the wrath of God
48:08It comes upon the children
48:09of his disobedience,
48:10in which you also
48:12you walked in former times
48:14when you live in it.
48:17But now,
48:18leave too
48:19all those things,
48:21gonna,
48:21anger,
48:22malice,
48:23blasphemy,
48:24dishonest words
48:26from your mouth.
48:28You don't paint
48:29one another,
48:31having plucked
48:32of the old man
48:33through his actions,
48:34and the new man's dress,
48:36which according
48:37to the image
48:37from the one who created it,
48:39It is being renewed
48:40until full knowledge,
48:41where there is no Greek,
48:42not even a river,
48:43circumcision,
48:44nor exposure,
48:45barbarian,
48:46nor does it excite,
48:47I serve,
48:47nor free,
48:48but Christ
48:49is everything
48:50and in everything.
48:51Brother,
48:52That's what it's all about.
48:53that Christ
48:53take shape to us,
48:55if we want to imitate it.
48:56To be imitators of Christ
48:57It's not perfection,
48:59It is daily sanctification,
49:01to look like it every day
49:02more to Him
49:03and to its essence,
49:05and to its substance.
49:08Spiritually,
49:09talking,
49:10so,
49:10because?
49:10Because, brother,
49:14when we are awake
49:15to a new life,
49:17to a new creation,
49:18That's what it says here
49:19which is a guttering,
49:20fornication,
49:21impurity,
49:21disordered passion,
49:23We can already see it.
49:23which are bad,
49:24We have eyes
49:25spiritually open,
49:27It's no longer relevant to us.
49:28we see that it is something bad,
49:30we began to hate
49:32things of the flesh,
49:33because it doesn't suit us,
49:35we have nature
49:37changed by God,
49:38Well, that's what life says,
49:39He is born of God
49:40through the word of God
49:41who lives and remains
49:42forever,
49:43We are born of God
49:44and stuff like that
49:46We already hate him,
49:48We already want it,
49:49Let that die in you,
49:51the tendered,
49:52everything that is
49:52concentration,
49:53mercy,
49:54preaching,
49:55disordered desire,
49:57more, brother,
49:58Because if I practice that,
50:00Can I invite Jesus?
50:02Jesus wasn't like that,
50:04Jesus came to serve,
50:05Jesus had something very unique,
50:07Jesus was in control,
50:08Jesus obeyed the Father,
50:09That is what God calls us to.
50:11Because remember, brother
50:12what Jesus says,
50:13learn from me,
50:15And that's gentle.
50:15and humble of heart,
50:17But it says something
50:18very important there,
50:20and I will find rest
50:22for your soul,
50:25Learn from me,
50:26Follow me,
50:27Include me,
50:28because your soul will find rest,
50:30because I came
50:31to give you life,
50:32and life in abundance,
50:34The Lord says so,
50:35I don't know what we understand
50:36what the Lord wants
50:37of us,
50:37But I'm telling you honestly,
50:40You can imitate it,
50:41So, to sum it all up,
50:43You can imitate it,
50:45If you love him,
50:46If you know him,
50:49And you truly love him,
50:51You're going to imitate him,
50:53If you know him,
50:54And you truly love him,
50:56You're going to imitate him,
50:57in that,
50:58Christ says,
50:59in whom he loves me,
51:01guard,
51:01the one who loves me,
51:03guard,
51:03the one who loves me,

51:12Mister,
51:13forgive as you forgive,
51:15But Lord,
51:16whatever word
51:17identification,
51:18I ask you, Lord,
51:19please,
51:19to every heart
51:20who heard it,
51:21Mister,
51:24Upon understanding, Lord,
51:25the need that has
51:26to get to know you
51:28and follow you,
51:29and to love and value you,
51:30Mister,
51:31There's no one like you,
51:32Mister,
51:34that we too may say,
51:35For me, to live is Christ.
51:37and to die is gain,
51:39and I consider everything else to be garbage
51:41to gain Christ,
51:42Help me, Lord.
51:43to wish it,
51:44not be a word
51:46except that it sounds
51:47to our head,
51:48Let it be a wish
51:49real in us,
