Matthew 17:24-27 : The Temple Tax

Estudio

24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Incorporando lo nuevo

Hay un viejo dicho que dice: "Cuando el alumno esté listo, aparecerá el maestro". La idea es que el estudiante debe incorporar todo lo que ya le han enseñado en su vida antes de que el próximo maestro venga a enseñarle los próximos pasos. Vemos algo similar en la Palabra, donde Jesús abre los ojos de Pedro, Santiago y Juan a una nueva realidad espiritual, pero ahora tienen dificultades para sintetizar lo que les acaban de enseñar con todo lo que siempre han creído. (nota: Todd ofrece sus disculpas por un error; donde erróneamente dice en este audio que "lo espiritual sirve a lo natural" ... quiso decir, "lo natural sirve a lo espiritual").

5560. The communities of spirits to which the cartilages and bones correspond are very many. But they are the kind that have very little spiritual life within them, even as very little life is present in the bones when compared with the softer parts which they encompass, such as the skull and bones belonging to the head when compared with both parts of the brain, the medulla oblongata, and the substances within these that belong to the senses, or, for instance, the vertebrae and ribs when compared with the heart and lungs; and so on.
