Lives that reflect Christ
Omar Soto(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The speaker discusses how to live a life that reflects Christ, focusing on five points. First, the life of a believer is a life of faith, walking by faith and not by sight. Second, it is a life of light and peace, reflecting the peace of God in all interactions with others. Third, it is a life of love, sacrificing personal desires to serve others and promote unity. Fourth, it is a life of forgiveness, letting go of grudges and reconciling with others. Fifth, it is a life of obedience, following the example of Christ and obeying his commands. The speaker emphasizes the importance of these qualities in reflecting the light of Christ in the world.
This sermon discusses the importance of walking as Jesus walked, which involves living a life that reflects light and peace, being defined and stable in one's vocation, feeding one's spirit and not satisfying the desires of the flesh, being diligent, and seeking to understand God's will in everything. The speaker emphasizes the need to be intentional in living a life that reflects Christ and encourages listeners to examine themselves and work on areas that need improvement. The sermon ends with a prayer for God's grace and guidance in this process.
The speaker praises Jesus and his teachings, asking for his grace to help them work on their weaknesses. They pray to be able to reflect Jesus' love, unity, and spiritual life in their interactions with others. They ask for safety and peace on their way home. The speaker blesses their audience and ends the prayer.I would like you to go with me to the first letter of John, in chapter 2, I am going to read only one verse for now, verse 6. It says this verse, which is short but very impressive: "... He who says that he remains in him must walk how he walked…”
Let me repeat it again, “…He who says he abides in him must walk as he walked…”
