Acts 4:5-12 “The stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone” (verse 11). As is often the case, the context of this passage is set in the portion of the text that is not included in the reading. Here, the situation is that Peter and John were preaching and rejoicing…
Hechos 3:12-19 Lo primero que pensé acerca de este pasaje problemático es: “Dios mío, Pedro pasa de llamar la atención sobre el hombre que acaba de sanar a culpar a esta audiencia judía por la muerte de Jesús”. Viviendo ahora en una era posterior al Holocausto, sabemos a dónde puede conducir el mal del antisemitismo….
Acts 4:32-35 In my front yard, I have a plaque that states simply, “You are standing on Sacred Ground.” I put it there as a reminder to myself that, by virtue of God’s speaking into creation, all ground is sacred. But this week’s reading in Acts demonstrates what truly sacred ground might look like. It’s…
Acts 3:12-19 My first thought in this problematic passage is, “Oh dear, Peter goes from calling attention to the healed man to blaming this Jewish audience for Jesus’ death.” Living in a post-Holocaust era, we know where the evil of anti-Semitism can lead. We ask, why does Peter make that inappropriate—even offensive—leap when he says,…
Hechos 4:32-35 En frente de mi casa, tengo una placa que dice simplemente: “Te encuentras en Tierra Sagrada”. La puse allí para que me recuerde que, en virtud de la palabra de Dios en la creación, toda tierra es sagrada. Sin embargo, la lectura de esta semana de los Hechos de los Apóstoles demuestra lo…
Hechos 10:34-43 Pedro visita la casa de Cornelio en respuesta a una visión que lo convence de la generosidad del mensaje de Dios, un mensaje que ahora entiende que está destinado por igual a judíos y gentiles. Cornelio es un centurión y un gentil, y, por lo tanto, no es alguien con quien un judío…
Acts 10:34-43 Peter visits Cornelius’ home in response to a vision that convinces him of the expansiveness of God’s message, a message that he now understands to be intended for Jew and Gentile alike. Cornelius is a centurion and a Gentile, and thus not someone with whom a pious Jew would ordinarily interact. But Peter…
Isaías 50:4-9a Al comenzar la Semana Santa, este pasaje de Isaías nos recuerda la ayuda de Dios en tiempos de angustia. Este pasaje probablemente fue escrito durante el tiempo del exilio babilónico en el siglo VI a. C., un tiempo de gran sufrimiento y desorientación para los israelitas. El arresto, juicio y crucifixión de Jesús…
Isaiah 50:4-9a As we begin Holy Week, this passage in Isaiah reminds us of God’s help in times of distress. This passage was likely written during the time of Babylonian exile in the 6th Century BC—a time of great suffering and disorientation for the Israelites. Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion would have been similarly devastating…
Jeremías 31: 31-34 El profeta Jeremías estuvo activo en los últimos años del reino de Judá, lo cual condujo a la destrucción de la ciudad de Jerusalén y del Templo en 586 a. C. y al exilio del pueblo judío en Babilonia. Sin embargo, ante esta destrucción inminente Jeremías previó una vida restaurada para el…
