00:00Welcome to Márter Ecclesia. I invite you to prepare yourselves at this moment so that the Lord may...
00:22Let's have the ears of a disciple in our sixth discipleship training session. Today we will see
00:28Three of the disciple's six relationships: relationships based on love and freedom. Being
00:36Human beings find fulfillment in their relationships. The way they conduct those relationships defines them.
00:42their level of maturity. It has even been said that a person is defined by their relationships, as their destiny depends on them.
00:48In this world, one is beyond the boundary of their individuality. Each person is what they are.
00:55It is in the extent and manner in which one gives to and receives from others. Human beings are recognized as such.
01:01as a true disciple of Jesus, precisely because of his six relationships. With himself as
01:08person, with God as father, with Jesus as teacher, with the Holy Spirit as guide,
01:16with others as brothers and with things with freedom. It is a system of relationships
01:23Each one is valuable and has its place. None can be eliminated, as that would diminish their value.
01:31of the set. First relationship, with oneself as a person. Often one has a false
01:40The idea of self-love is confused with selfishness, forgetting that love for ourselves
01:47Self-love is the measure of loving our brothers and sisters. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
01:54Leviticus 19:18. Thus, there is a requirement to love, serve, and respect oneself. Just as
02:03A child of God and brother of Jesus Christ deserves; the biggest problem in loving others is not...
02:10It's not them, but ourselves. Because we generally project onto them what we ourselves cannot accept.
02:18within ourselves. We do not love in others what we reject in ourselves. It is about
02:27to have a clear awareness of our value as people with the capacity to love and with dignity
02:33enough to be loved. Personality lies in individuality, not in individualism.
02:39that makes us unique and irreplaceable in history. This value requires awareness
02:46that organizations, governments, economic systems, trade, associations and all types
02:55By law, they are at the service of the person, not the other way around. The teacher established it thus.
03:03when he categorically stated, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for man."
03:10Saturday. Mark 2:27. The person is above the laws, or rather, the laws.
03:20Traditions or customs are only validated with a view to the good of the person and the community.
03:27A disciple of Jesus values himself as a person who has paid the price of the Son's blood.
03:34of God, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
03:41and in your spirit, which are from God. 1 Corinthians 6:20. That is why respect is shown.
03:48And he commands respect, both from others and from institutions. He does not bow down to
03:55The powerful are not intimidated by the wealthy of this world. They do not consider themselves less.
04:02that no one, but neither more than anyone else, since all human beings enjoy the same
04:09dignity. He knows that skin color, height, or economic or social conditions matter.
04:17They are accidental, and each person is valuable in themselves, for they have been made in God's image and likeness.
04:24of God. How much does Jesus value a person? It is clearly stated in the passage from Saint
04:32Luke 6:6, 11. On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue
04:40He was teaching, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered, and the scribes were watching him closely.
04:48And the Pharisees to see if he would heal them on the Sabbath, so that they might find something to accuse him of.
04:56But he knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand,
05:01Get up and stand in the middle. And he got up and stood up. Then Jesus said to them,
05:12I ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil? To save life or to kill it?
05:20And looking at them all around, he said to the man, "Extend your hand." And he did so. And his hand was
05:31restored. And they were filled with fury and spoke among themselves about what they could do against Jesus. The true
05:39A disciple of Jesus does not undervalue himself. He loves himself so much that he is capable of refusing to serve others when
05:47This demands giving up something that is not rightfully theirs. One night there were ten virgins waiting
05:55to the husband. Five of them ran out of oil and the fire in their lamps began to go out.
06:04Then they asked the others to share theirs, but they refused because with that
06:10This means their lamps also go out. When we are asked to do something that involves losing the light,
06:17We have no obligation to give it away; on the contrary. The gospel is lived by refusing to give up the oil.
06:26Second relationship. With God as my father. The Jews related to God in such a way
06:35respectful, bordering on fear. For them, Yahweh was holy, something entirely separate from anything else.
06:44with the sinners of this world. That is why the Jewish region was sealed by purification rites.
06:52to which one constantly had to resort in order to deserve to be clean in the presence of God.
06:57Every day, all day long, they washed and purified themselves for fear of being found impure in the presence of the
07:04The tremendous holiness of God. No one dared to enter the Holy of Holies, the Ecal, where God
07:12He resided there. It was impossible to have any relationship of familiarity and trust with the God of armies.
07:20Even the divine name was so sacred that they didn't even dare to pronounce it. In these
07:29Under these circumstances, Jesus appeared, daring to call God with the expression with which a child addresses
07:37to his father. Abba, father. This sounded like provocation and disrespect. Or was it absolute trust in God?
07:49or the greatest heresy that had ever arisen in the region of Israel. It claimed that God was good to
07:57all, making the sun rise on the righteous and the sinners. If there was favoritism in him, it was not because
08:07not for the righteous, but for sinners, to whom he had sent his only son. This aspect constituted
08:15a complete novelty in the religiosity of those times. Undoubtedly, the characteristic
08:22The most important thing about a disciple of Jesus is that he calls God "Dad" and addresses him with devotion.
08:32The unlimited capacity of a young child who fully trusts in his father's unconditional love cannot exist.
08:39A true disciple of Jesus does not share his sonship. We could even go so far as to say that
08:47The experience of being a beloved child of God is the primary characteristic that shapes a disciple of
08:54Jesus. There can be no disciple who does not live in a filial relationship with God his Father. And naturally,
09:02It's not about knowing that He loves us, but about experiencing it at all times and in all circumstances.
09:11of life. Hence, the disciple lives in abandonment to the providence of his Father. He knows that if
09:20He gives food to the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field; he is worth more than they. Therefore
09:28Therefore, any concern from a child of the most wonderful and powerful Father is pointless.
09:36The disciple trusts in his father's unconditional love, which is manifested in a special way in the
09:42Forgiveness, provided he returns with a repentant heart. It suffices to recall the parable.
09:50The parable of the prodigal son, in which his father joyfully celebrates the return home of his lost son. Saint Luke
09:5815-20. And rising up, he went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and,
10:08Overwhelmed, he ran, threw his arms around her neck, and kissed her passionately. This example perfectly captures the essence of the situation.
10:15of the God revealed by Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly, the most important characteristic of a disciple is the
10:24To be able to call God Dad. Even if all the commandments were followed or overtime was worked.
10:31in the Lord's vineyard, even if one served the most needy or held a title
10:39An ecclesiastic, if he does not live as a beloved child of God, cannot in any way be considered as such.
10:46disciple of Jesus. Now, the underlying reason is that if a disciple is to be like his master...
10:55And if Jesus has the right to call God Abba, his followers can do so as well. Now, the reason
11:05The underlying question is whether a disciple has to be like his master and whether Jesus has the right to call himself God.
11:12Abba, yours can do it too.
