Know that the
We were talking about the Fariseos and the Saduseos.
We were talking about the religious group that dominated the people of Israel and specifically
the city of Jerusalem.
I explained specifically what was the role of these people and when they started Fariseos
and the Saduseos that started in the inter-testamentary period, from the testament to the testament.
Something I mentioned, part of the Sanedrin were also teachers of the law, scribes, the
Saduseos were also priests, the Fariseos were in charge of the synagogues.
I also mentioned the scribes, the teachers of the law, the scribes already existed in
the Old Testament, maybe I don't want to confuse them, they did exist.
Those who were born in the inter-testamentary period were the Fariseos and the Saduseos,
I explained.
The Saduseos, the Saduseos, they were already in the history of the people of Israel and
also the scribes.
I'm going to explain a little bit about that.
Let's read chapter 5 verse 33.
They heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill them.
They were also raising their heads, a Fariseo called Gamaliel, doctor of the law, venerated
from the whole town, he ordered them to go out for a moment to the apostles.
And then he said, barons and Israelites, look at what you see and do regarding these men.
And before these days, the Jews were raised saying that there was someone, this man joined
a number of 400 men, but he was dead and all those who obeyed him were dispersed and reduced
to nothing.
After this, the Jews raised their heads in the days of the census and took them to many
people.
It also seemed that those who obeyed him were dispersed.
Now I tell you, apart from these men and leave them, because if this work is of the men,
it will be disbanded, but if it is of God, you cannot destroy it.
No, it is not possible for them to fight against God.
Not all Fariseos were bad, right?
We are talking here about a man called Gamaliel, he says that he was respected, right?
He is raising his head, Fariseo called Gamaliel, doctor of the law and venerated from the
people.
This means respected, this means that they had him in a good esteem, right?
Gamaliel, Fariseo, who was part of the same Sanedrin, that is why he was there with them
in that group while they were trying to debate what to do with the apostles.
So, also, on another occasion, we have a man, also Fariseo, who was also part of the Sanedrin
and he is in the verses of Juan, in chapter 3, his name is Nicodemus, remember that he
came at night to talk to Jesus, he came at night to talk to Jesus, being Fariseo, Nicodemus,
had heard about the things that Jesus was doing, he was being intrigued by what was
happening with him and in a certain way, that is why I tell you that not all Fariseos were
bad, this person who apparently would have to oppose Jesus, was certainly being broken
and suddenly being touched by the work that this man is doing now.
I don't know what would happen with the Fariseos, we will see it later, how a person, a earthly
person, who was presented before Jesus, how would those encounters be, who could support
the look of the Master.
Yes, suddenly we are touched by people, who cause effect on our lives, suddenly there
are people who transmit something positive, something good, someone full of the Holy Spirit,
we have commented here that someone full of the Holy Spirit, the spirituality of a human
cannot be measured, with a measure, cannot be measured how much is full or how less
is full, but what we can feel when someone is full of the Holy Spirit, transmits a certain
type of peace, a certain type of joy.
So here we have Nicodemus, a Fariseo also like Gamaliel, between the group of the San
Edrin, who apparently was not bad.
If you read in chapter 7 of Juan, in verse 51, you will realize that Nicodemus was part
of the San Edrin too, and in a certain way, if you continue reading those verses, in a
certain way, he wanted to defend the Master, but they shut him down.
They said, you are also Galileo, you also come from him, you don't realize that Galileo
has not come out good, so they shut him down, but in a certain way he wanted to defend
Jesus.
Now, if we look further in Juan, when Jesus Christ was crucified, a man called
José de Arimatea, who was a follower of Jesus, hidden with Nicodemus, he says the word,
that they went down from the cross to the Lord Jesus and they took him to the Sepulchre
of José de Arimatea, Nicodemus.
This means that this Fariseo man was impacted by that conversation that he had with the
Lord Jesus, who apparently changed his life, his mentality, maybe he could not, he only
cared more about being part of that regime or of that government or of that, in a certain
way, group of people and he openly declared that he was a follower of Jesus.
So here we have a man called Gamaliel, who does not say that he is defending the apostles,
he does not say that, what he is saying is that they say, leave them, if this work is
not of God, it will be disbanded like the one of Judas and the other person, I do not remember
what his name is, Tadeo Teudas.
If somehow, I know that I read it calmly, but I hope you understand the passage that
we read, in a certain way Gamaliel is abusing not for the apostles, he is not abusing because
of this group of people or the movement that is being given, because there they talk about
400 men who got up following Tadeudas and other so many people following Judas.
So here we are talking, we are talking about forgiveness, a mega church with more than
how many, I told you, about 14,000, 16,000 people.
So Gamaliel goes logically in his mind, they are the teachers of the law, studied, so
he says, he does not want to declare that he is being confronted, he is believing in
the Lord Jesus but he says, he is comparing the movement of that moment of 15,000, 16,000
people with 400, if he understands how, so he says, they will not be able to stop him.
So in a certain way he says, if this is not God, he is going to be disbanded, but what
I said, each day more were added to the group of people, it was just the beginning and I
would be witness when the Holy Spirit had come, I would be witness in Jerusalem, they
were barely in Jerusalem and there were more than 16,000, 18,000 people.
So Gamaliel gets up, not defending apparently but simply leaving that if it is God, the
same Spirit of God that they were starting to understand that it was the Holy Spirit
that was still working or if it was not the Holy Spirit that was going to disband, but
what happened?
So we continue, so to talk a little bit about the scribes, I hope that no one gets confused
when I said that this group of people was composed primarily for 71 or 70 people, among
them was the sumo sacerdote, among them were the sacerdotes, among them were the Pharisees,
among them were the Aduseos and among them were also the scribes, so the Aduseos were
in charge of the temple of the Lord and if they were in charge of the temple of the
Lord, they were in charge of the sumo sacerdote and the sacerdotes, the Pharisees were in
charge of the synagogues, remember that I explained them?
The scribes and the teachers, not all were Pharisees but they were the knowers and doctors
of the law, the scribes in the ancient Israel were wise men whose job was to study the law,
transcribe it and write comments of the same, they were sometimes hired when they had to
write a legal script, they were also hired, edras, edras in the ancient testamento, era
escriba, era una escriba deligente de la ley de Moisés, los escribas tomaban seriamente
el trabajo de percebar las escrituras, copiaban meticulosamente cada letra de la ley de los
escritos que estaban ahí, los copiaban, los copiaban meticulosamente, o sea cada letra,
cada espacio entre las letras las copiaban de tal manera que no se perdiera en el tiempo
antiguo lo que Moisés había presentado al pueblo de Israel, los judíos en aquel entonces
eran conocidos como el pueblo de Libro porque seguían la ley de Moisés, en la era del
nuevo testamento los escribas muchas veces se les relacionaba con los Phariseos, aunque
no todos los Phariseos eran escribas, sin embargo los escribas iban más allá de la
interpretación de las escrituras, estoy hablando de los escribas del nuevo testamento
y añadieron muchas tradiciones humanas a lo que Dios había dicho, se fueron perdiendo
la línea de escribir meticulosamente cada letra y cuando llegamos al tiempo del nuevo
testamento los escribas añadieron muchas cosas no de lo que venía allá del pueblo
de Israel sino de ellos mismos, reglas que difusieron para que el pueblo la siguiera,
entonces por eso el Señor Jesús los confrontó tremendamente, Él condenó totalmente a los
escribas por su hipocresía, ellos conocían la ley le enseñaron los demás pero no la
obedecían ellos mismos, en verdad el propósito original de los escribas era conocer y preservar
la ley y alentar con ellos los demás, a los que ellos enseñaban, los escribas cuyo objetivo
era conservar la palabra realmente la anularon por las tradiciones que ellos mismos habían
escrito y transmitidos al pueblo, que le parece, el problema más grande para los escribas
en el fondo era la hipocresía, ellos estaban más interesados en mostrar una buena apariencia
a los hombres y no agradar a Dios, se fueron perturbando en otras palabras ellos mismos
fueron diluyendo la ley para hacerla ver por las nuevas reglas que ellos estaban impus
empuñendo, entonces el título de este mensaje como pueden ver se llama no seas pariseo,
no seas pariseo, escúcheme con atención, no seas pariseo, es algo que hoy se declara,
una persona liberal, un cristiano liberal le declara a otra persona pariseo porque esa
persona intenta guardar los mandamientos del señor como él piensa que es correcto, una
persona que declara a otra persona pariseo se está excusando y han querido abiertamente
meter al mundo a la iglesia y le llaman a una persona pariseo aquellos que quieren de
cierta manera preservar los mandamientos del señor y el temor a Jehová, si me entienden
ahora el otro lado de la moneda de repente cuando alguien que se le dice pariseo lo recibe
lo recibe de mala manera, lo recibe al sentir que él está haciendo todo lo correcto y el
que le está llamando fariseo le está diciendo de cierta manera liberal, si me entienden
como alguien le declara fariseo pero de repente la persona que se le está declarando fariseo
lo toma de una manera soberbia, yo estoy haciendo lo correcto, tú estás haciendo lo incorrecto,
entonces tiene dos maneras de verse las cosas, ahora una persona culta de repente le llama
liberal a una persona sin saber lo que esa persona está recibiendo en su corazón, de
repente unas personas le declaran tú eres un liberal porque estás dejando que el mundo
estás atrapando cosas que viene el mundo cambiando y la estás abrazando sin conocer
en realidad sus corazones, entonces mi respuesta para eso ninguno de los dos está en lo correcto,
ninguno, lo que tenemos que hacer es aprender, amar al Señor con todo nuestro corazón y
dejar que el Espíritu Santo obre nuestras vidas, ni el que declara fariseo ni el que
declara liberal, les voy a decir algo, vivimos en Estados Unidos, todas las iglesias en Estados
Unidos donde se prediquen inglés, todas las iglesias no viven de una manera pentecostalmente,
que quiere decir esto, ellos tienen otra cultura diferente de nosotros, entre usted
a una iglesia anglosajona y usted no le va a gustar porque va a decir que son muy liberales,
ahora quienes somos nosotros para decir eso, fariseo, quiere decir que todas las iglesias
en Estados Unidos donde se prediquen inglés, anglosajona, todos se van a ir al infierno,
ninguna iglesia en Estados Unidos donde se prediquen inglés, ninguna tiene el aspecto
pentecostal que nosotros conocemos, ¿están mal todos?
Ahora, los anglosajones a nosotros, nos ven a los latinos de habla hispana en una iglesia
pentecostal, nos llaman fariseos, nos llaman legalistas y es lo que estamos viviendo ahorita,
entonces ¿qué hacemos?
¿Qué hacemos?
Las generaciones están cambiando, hay una grande preocupación en nosotros como pastores
jóvenes de nuevas generaciones de cómo encontrar un balance, ¿qué hacemos?
Aparentemente muchos lo hemos dicho repetitivamente, muchos de sus hijos a lo mejor no están
aquí porque nos ven ¿cómo?
¿De dónde nacieron ellos?
Estados Unidos, nosotros latinos ¿cómo están pensando ellos?
Son fariseos, mis padres son fariseos y la mayoría no están aquí, entonces ¿qué
hacemos?
¿Qué hacemos?
¿Qué hacemos con eso?
Estamos en un dilema que duele, ¿cómo avanzamos?
¿Cómo tratamos de alcanzar a nuestros jóvenes?
Lo que queremos es que nuestros jóvenes regresen pero lo que más queremos que nuestros niños
no se nos vayan.
¿Qué vamos a hacer iglesia?
Por eso vienen la estrés y las enfermedades, estamos tratando de encontrar un balance, el
único balance que podemos encontrar es el amor de Jesús, yo no puedo impedir la entrada
a alguien, ¿y dónde está mi amor?
Yo tengo que abogar a que el Espíritu Santo haga la obra porque aparentemente nuestras
reglas han aventado a nuestros jóvenes afuera de la iglesia, ¿dónde están mis cuñados?
¿Dónde están algunos de sus hijos?
No seas fariseo, pero también no seas liberal.
Estamos en un dilema.
Vamos a ver, ¿qué es lo que piensa Jesús de los fariseos?
Vamos a ver qué piensa Jesús de los fariseos, yo creo que ya se imagina a cuál persículo
vamos a ir y a qué capítulo vamos a ir aquí el libro, vaya Mateo 23 por favor.
Hermanos es de preocuparse.
No está bien el que lo declara, no está bien el que lo recibe, ni no está bien el
que declara, lo he dicho otra vez, el que el declara fariseo no está bien, ni el que se
dice ser fariseo está bien, no está bien el que de cuando declaramos eres liberal, como
el que lo recibe tampoco, ninguno está bien, ninguno, ninguno está bien.
Vamos a ver qué piensa Jesús de los fariseos y de los escribas, ¿sí?
Estos son algunos de los pecados que Jesús acusó a los fariseos.
No uno, los fariseos eran hipócritas, la parable hipócritas en el griego se las he
dicho antes, era traducida a actor, como en una obra de triato alguien que está intencionalmente
tratando, perdón, intencionalmente mentiroso acerca de quién es realmente, un actor de
telenovela, como las de Cristal, un actor de cine, eso no es sabid, no es su vida real,
está actuando para aceptar un papel que no le corresponde, verdad, y ese es el error de
mucha gente ahorita, quieren ser igual que los actores que ven la televisión pero no
conocemos sus vidas, pero bueno, hipóquita en ese contexto quería ser actor y Jesús
está llamando, están actuando, ¿sí?
Los fariseos estaban liberadamente montando un pedestal de piedad religiosa para ser
vistos por otros, se estaban presentando siendo justos y religiosos ya amorosos hacia Dios
pero detrás de ellos eran actores y Jesús les dice Mateo 23, uno al cinco, entonces
hablando Jesús a la gente y a sus discípulos diciendo en la catra de Moisés se sientan
los escribas y los fariseos, la catra de Moisés era una silla en las sinagogas de
piedra donde se sentaban los fariseos o los escribas a enseñar la ley, en la catra de
Moisés se sientan los escribas y los fariseos, o sea que ellos se sentaban ahí orgullosamente
sintiéndose dignos de estar enseñando, repréndame, si algún día yo me paro aquí pensando de
esa manera, repréndame, Dios nos libre de entrar en eso y Dios nos sigue ayudando a estar
estudiando y entender su palabra y predicarla como está escrita, en la catra de Moisés
se sientan los escribas y los fariseos, así que todos los que os digan que guardéis, guardarlo
y acepto, miren como les está reconociendo a los escribas y los fariseos cuando estaban
en realmente enseñando la palabra de Dios, lo está viendo ahí, mas no hagáis conforme
a sus obras, enseñaban algo que no hacían, si lo está viendo ahí, mas no hagáis conforme
a sus obras, porque dicen y que, y no hacen, porque ha tantas cargas pesadas y difíciles
de llevar y las ponen sobre los hombros de los hombres, pero ellos ni con un dedo quieren
moverlas, antes hacen todas sus obras para ser vistos por los hombres pedestal, pues
ensanchan sus filacterias, filacterias y extienden sus flecos de sus mantos, las filacterias,
filacterias perdón, eran los saclos como las mochilitas que se ponían de piel, donde
cargaban los pergaminos y los escritos, esto quiere decir lo que está viendo Jesús, no
se dice erionicamente, dice sarcasticamente lo que está diciendo, Jesús ensanchan sus
filacterias, o sea que cargan mochilas más grandotas con muchos pergaminos para hacerse
ver como más santos y más conocedores y cada vez hacen sus flecos, o sea sus mantos más
largos, porque entre más largos más santos se ven y más de lejos nos ven, es lo que
sarcasticamente Jesús está diciendo, cuando usted causa alguno acusa perdón, de ser
un fariseo hipócrita no solo lo está acusando de ser inconsistente, usted lo está acusando
de intencionalmente estar actuando, lo que les voy a enseñar esta mañana que no debemos
hablar a la ligera, después de esta enseñanza usted me dice si va a volver a llamarle a una
persona fariseo o liberal, miren que feo Jesús nos va a confrontar, el problema de algunos
cristianos encajen que en esta descripción, pero este sello no encaja con alguien que está
tratando sinceramente de vivir una vida cristiana y seguir los mandamientos de Dios, a mí llámeme
fariseos y yo estoy siguiendo los mandamientos del Señor al pie de la letra, pero no como
Jesús está declarando aquí, segundo pecado de los fariseos, los fariseos mantuvieron
a las personas fuera del reino, versículo 13 al 15, más hay de vosotros escribas y
fariseos hipócritas, actores, porque cerráis el reino de los cielos delante de los hombres,
ni entrar a vosotros ni dejar entrar a los que están entrando, hay de vosotros escribas
y fariseos hipócritas, porque devoráis las casas de las viudas y como pretexto a seis
largas oraciones, por esto recibiréis mayor condenación, hay de vosotros escribas y fariseos
hipócritas, porque recorreéis mar y tierra para hacer un prosélito y una vez hecho lo
hacéis dos veces más hijo del infierno que vosotros, los fariseos controlaban y manipulaban
a la gente a través de la intimidación, a través de la intimidación, ellos amenazaban
a sus hermanos judíos que si seguían a Jesús serían sacados de las sinagogas, los fariseos
amenazaron a los seguidores de Jesús que si seguían siguiendo a ese hombre los iban a
correr de las sinagogas, ven lo que nos enseña la Bible en Juan 1242, dice con todo eso uno
de los gobernantes, aún de los gobernantes muchos creyeron en él, Nicodemo, Camaliel
tal vez, dice con todo eso aún de los gobernantes Juan 1242, muchos creyeron en él, pero a
causa de los fariseos no lo confesaban para no ser expulsados de la sinagoga, tenía
un comentario cuando tocamos el mensaje de la resurrección cuando el Señor Jesús escondidas
mandó a Juan y a Pedro a preparar la cena del Señor, recuerdan que ninguno otro de
los discípulos se dieron cuenta porque Judas ya había pactado entregar al Señor y cuando
el Señor manda preparar la cena, recuerdan que entran en la ciudad van a encontrar a
un hombre llevando un cántaro que era inusual porque solamente los cántaros no cargaban
las mujeres, síganlo y donde se meta diganle al Señor, diganle al dueño de la casa donde
vamos a preparar la cena del Señor, recuerdan perfectamente y los llevó a un aposento alto
donde prepararon, leí un comentario que la razón que todo se hizo escondidas por esta
razón había seguidores de Jesús pero que no lo declaraban porque iban a ser expulsados
de las sinagogas, ellos no conocían, estaban conociendo al maestro, estaban dudando en
desier el mesías, honor el mesías y ellos tal vez el Señor Jesús iba a ir y ellos
se iban a quedar en su ciudad, con su sinagoga y no querían ser expulsados como seguidores
como judíos, es como si aquí de repente corremos a alguien de la iglesia, ya no puede
regresar, entonces de cierta manera no querían declarar que eran seguidores de Jesús para
no ser expulsados por las sinagogas, si me entienden, cuando usted acusa a alguien de
ser un fariseo está insinuando que intenta controlar y manipular a otros para su propio
beneficio.
Que tremendo, tercer pecado de los fariseos crearon brechas legales, que es esto, mire
de la ley, a los aserdotes, a los que de cierta manera eran presentados como los obispo
the city of Jerusalem.
Another thing that I might not mention is that each city had its own Sanedrin.
There was a supreme Sanedrin, but each city, like every step, had its own mayor.
Its own governors, each city, and then there was a governor in the state of Texas.
That's how it was in each city, so that at least that's what the lie is about.
Look at what it says.
There are guides of blinds.
They say that if someone swears through the temple, it's nothing,
but if someone swears through the gold of the temple, it's a debtor,
and they're not aware of the fact that they're blind, and they're not aware of the fact that they're blind.
This means that the Pharisees interpreted the law so that they could do what they wanted.
What they wanted to do was to restrict and behave against the others.
They seemed to give more honor to the temple itself than what was dedicated to the temple.
They gave more importance to the gold that the temple was dedicated to.
Let me say it again.
In a temple, in the temple of the Lord, there was gold, marble.
Why did that happen?
Why did the temple get so much?
To give a blessing to God.
They gave more importance to the building and the rules.
How can I say it?
I'm going to get the wave.
They gave more importance to the purpose of the temple being built.
Remember how Jehovádeo taught us how to build the temple for Him.
What does this mean today in our days?
In an incorrect way.
We give more importance to this pulpit, to this building, with the rules we implemented
before giving honor to the Lord, for which this temple was built.
This is not the most important thing.
This is the most important thing.
This, this, this, this is not important.
It is for the reason that we play it to praise God.
If you are understanding me, church, who does that?
We give more importance to this.
This is what was built.
If you understand me, this is what Jesus is saying.
Of course, of course, obviously, this place deserves respect.
It was built for honor and glory of the Lord.
Obviously, this has respect.
We all have to adopt through the Holy Spirit.
We can't make it a pazzarella, we can't make it something that is seen in the world.
But the most important thing about all this is what is dedicated here.
The presence that is felt in this place and more than anything the presence that we feel in our homes.
If you understand me, church, you have to understand what Jesus is saying.
This is what Jesus is saying.
He is declaring them to the Pharisees because they gave more importance to the temple
and to their rules.
Jesus is the temple.
Jesus is the word.
Jesus is the law.
The law is not more than Jesus.
The temple is not more than Jesus.
The temple is not more than God.
God is the temple.
God is the presence.
Jesus is the law.
Jesus is the word.
That is what we have to understand.
We have to find a balance to understand what we have to do right now.
It's not 20 years ago, it's not 10 years ago, it's not the last year, it's not before the pandemic.
What do you think will happen if suddenly another pandemic comes?
What do you think will happen if suddenly a new pandemic comes?
What was the result of each of the apostles and how they died?
How tremendous, right?
Here it says Jesus, He is already speaking prophetically.
If you see it there, He is speaking of what would happen in deeds.
Although we understand that it is not all written chronologically, right?
I just explained that too.
First of all, what Jesus is saying is that He is speaking of those times,
of the times of deeds, of persecution.
Therefore, here I send prophets and sabers and scribes of them.
In a way, each person, see here, each person, Mateo, Juan Marcos, Lucas, Doctor, Juan el Apostol,
Pablo el Apostol, those who wrote a book in the New Testament are scribes.
Because they wrote, right?
That is why he is saying that.
I send prophets and sabers and scribes and of them, you will kill and crucify each other.
And you will kill others.
What did the apostles do right now in chapter 5?
They killed them in your synagogues.
Do you see how everything is related?
And you pursue city by city, so that you may come to the land of the blood of Abel,
the blood of Zacarias, the son of Berequias, who you killed,
between the temple and altar.
I tell you that all this will come about this generation.
The worst part of the Pharisees was that, unfortunately, some of their ancestors had killed the prophets of antiquity.
They themselves would kill the Messiah.
The Messiah, the Messiah, the ones they taught.
Jesus was placed in front of them and they did not recognize him.
Jesus made all kinds of miracles, prophets, teachings, things that he did not see, things that they could not imagine.
He was placed in front of the Messiah and they did not recognize him.
They taught, I am talking about the Pharisees and the teachers.
Remember that the Aduseus did not believe, more than in the five books, right?
All the others did, in the prophets.
They taught about the Messiah and did not recognize him.
Because they were more focused on the rules that they added to the Scriptures.
Little by little, the rules they put were eroding what was the true law.
They were spiritually dead, they were watching the miracles of Jesus.
They were affirming that they were demons.
When Jesus made a miracle, they said, it was done by Belzebub.
Remember, these men were so blind and spiritually dead that they demanded the Son of God.
They demanded that the Son of God be crucified.
They were so dead spiritually that the Messiah was placed in front of them.
They were so dead spiritually that instead of washing them, they were screaming, crucify them.
They were screaming, crucify them.
Declare that a Christian today is Pharisee, he wants to say all these things that Jesus declared.
Can we call him Pharisee or someone?
In a positive way? Never.
Jesus said, Jesus, excuse me, did not say that they were going to know us by our doctrine.
Jesus said that they were going to know us by our fruits.
We are not going to be recognized by our doctrines, Pentecostal, Bautista, other denominations.
God is free to judge those denominations.
It is not my place or my responsibility.
There is God, someday we will be in front of Him, to see who, certainly without competing, will only follow the Lord.
They will not know us by our doctrine, they will know us by our fruits.
How can we identify a Pharisee by his fruits?
How can we identify a man by his fruits? You will know him.
Not by what he says, by his fruits.
If today, please turn around.
For a miraculous work, that God can do whatever He wants, because we are the owner of everything, the creation of the world, of you, me, the stones, oceans, the world, the earth, the universe, the stars, everything.
God is the owner of everything. If somehow, God will announce, listen to this, please, because His life will change forever.
Listen to this, please, and take it from God with an open mind and an open heart.
If God, somehow, says, I will send my son once more, so that I can only preach once.
Choose the biggest stadium, build a stadium for 300,000 people.
Listen to this, please. Who could enter to see Jesus?
Who would accept Jesus who will enter that place?
You would not, look how you are dressed, you would not bring your hair, you would not have your hair, you would not have tattoos.
Who could, what would Jesus do? He would run them.
Think about your children, think about your children, those who are not here, would you take them?
Would you take them to listen to Jesus and to be saved? Would you take them? How would you take them?
How would you take them? How would you take them?
Think about this, that your life will change forever.
That is the generation that we live in today. How would you take your children? How would you take them?
If Jesus would do that, who are we to put rules? Who can enter and who cannot enter? Who are we?
Do not be a Pharisee.
Jesus is more important, the love of Jesus is more important than everything, I am going to change it a little.
How did you come to the feet of Jesus? Who told you not to be drunk, drug addicts,
evil intentioned, with women in the genes, love for pornography, love for this,
with the people painted, with wigs, with tattoos, how did we get to the feet of Jesus? Who told us not to?
Who told us not to?
So why now we want to see rules, to our children, to the people who want to come?
Why now we can see rules? Because we are saints, because we are Pharisees, of those or of which?
This is the time we live in the church. That is how I came. I have two ears in my ears.
That is how I came. And even though I have not failed, I have failed.
But when there is a repentance of the heart, God forgives us. Who are we?
He is going to put rules to say who comes in and who does not enter the house of the Lord.
Open your minds, open our minds to the love of Jesus.
We cannot be preaching like this.
We have to find a balance, brothers, a balance.
I do not want my children to leave. I do not want.
There is a danger of the children of ten, eleven years, that as long as they are 13 or 12, they will catch the mountain.
In that season many of their children ran away.
In that season, thank God many of them are here.
And those who are not here are fighting, we are praying so that if they come back, we want those who are not leaving.
How did you come to the feet of Jesus? Who put the rules? Who put the rules? Who said you cannot enter?
And why do we do that today? I am not talking about being liberal, I am not talking about being Saint Ron and I am talking about the love of Jesus.
So who is fine? None.
What is fine is the word of God and the Holy Spirit that speaks the work.
That is the Holy Spirit that changes people, that is the Holy Spirit that brings remorse, that is the Holy Spirit that gives refuge to the person,
how we see ourselves, how we dress, how we speak, how we see ourselves.
That is the Holy Spirit that does not rule us.
We have to change the way of being.
We should not be a Pharisee but we should not be liberal.
We should be followers of Jesus. Why do we get on foot with us?
You can stay there in your seat, you can come to the altar, 5 minutes.
There is no rule, you do what you feel in your heart to do.
But what I do want you to do is to speak with God.
Speak with God.
More clearly I cannot predict, more clearly I cannot say, explain what we have to do today.
Listen.
