Bom dia! Pessoal

Parábola do Grão de Mostarda.

"O Reino de Deus é como um grão de mostarda que, quando se semeia na terra, é a mais pequena de todas as sementes que há na Terra. Mas, tendo sido semeado cresce, e faz-se a maior de todas as hortaliças e cria grandes ramos, de tal maneira que as aves do céu podem aninhar-se debaixo de sua sombra" (Mt. 13:31-32).

No Oriente, a planta da mostarda atinge enormes dimensões (mais de doze pés), entretanto, sua semente é extremamente diminuta, portanto, os judeus da época de Cristo costumavam ter um ditado: "Pequeno, como um grão de mostarda." Esta comparação do Reino de Deus com o grão de mostarda confirmou-se plenamente com a rápida propagação da Igreja nos países do mundo pagão. A Igreja, sendo inicialmente uma sociedade religiosa reduzida, insignificante para o resto do mundo, representada por um pequeno grupo de pescadores iletrados da Galiléia, propagou-se por todo o mundo antigo num período de dois séculos, partindo das terras selvagens dos citas, até a tórrida África, a longínqua Bretanha, e a misteriosa Índia. Pessoas das mais variadas raças, línguas e culturas encontraram na Igreja a salvação e a paz espiritual, da mesma maneira que as aves buscam abrigo nos ramos de um suntuoso carvalho durante as tempestades.

No que tange a bem-aventurada transformação do homem, mencionada na parábola da semente, fala-se também na pequena parábola a seguir.

Excelente Domingo
Abraços       8-)

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

Todas as recompensas das suas boas obras virão do alto, do Pai das luzes, é Dele de onde correm os rios das águas da vida, e de onde vêm as palavras que curam e os conselhos para a transformação e redenção da alma humana.

"E dizia também ao que o tinha convidado: Quando deres um jantar, ou uma ceia, não chames os teus amigos, nem os teus irmãos, nem os teus parentes, nem vizinhos ricos, para que não suceda que também eles te tornem a convidar, e te seja isso recompensado. Mas, quando fizeres convite, chama os pobres, aleijados, mancos e cegos, e serás bem-aventurado; porque eles não têm com que to recompensar; mas recompensado te será na ressurreição dos justos. (Lucas 14:12-14)"
