TRADITIONS, SEARCH AND ANSWER

 

Spain, a nation so filled with beauty, remarkable landscape, and rich in history and traditions. No matter where you look and travel, there is something special about this land and its people.

Family oriented by tradition, is beginning to show a "new trend" in younger generations that makes us to pause, and cautiously wonder about the future. No nation can survive without the institution of the family. No nation can transmit to other generations what defines her, and what believes, except through the institution of the family. However, there is an answer.

When we look at this world and the beauty of nature, three things become obvious: First, that there is a plan, that there was always a plan. Second, that there is design and that always there was a design. Third, that amazingly we are a part of the plan and of the design.

The intelligence of design we see in nature, takes us back to a portion in the book of Psalms: "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God" (Psalms 90:1-2).

The declaration in the Psalm points to the following truth: There is that element in every human person, that desires something more than what we have, and something more than what we are. We desire to reach out, and to achieve -with God's help- our full potential. That's God's plan for all of us.

We are in Spain, with the sole intention to be a blessing to ancestral people, marked with their own national and spiritual history. In a real sense, their spiritual history and journey have brought us here.

There is an abundance of religious beliefs, practices, and customs. Yet, in everyday life, the soul of many people it is literally empty. A look at these religious customs helps us to find clues, to understand the root cause.

  • The Savior, is usually presented dead.
  • The almost -real statues- depict the suffering.  Wonderful art pieces, which do not do justice to what they represent.
  • The life that Jesus promised is not taught as He spoke it, or His joy or the promised inner peace.
  • The path that should lead to God, seems to lead to many uncertain believes and to a marked emotional and spiritual co-dependency on a religious institution, instead toward God himself.

However, there is a plan birthed in God's very heart. That plan is outlined in His Word. The plan is like none other: God, through Jesus, coming to speak to all of us of a purpose much higher than anything we know or heard.

That is quite a contrast of the present religious traditions, which the younger generations no longer pays attention.  God's truths and answers, outlined in His Word are timely, concise, and reliable. They speak and lead to the Savior who said: "...whoever comes to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37 - NIV), and "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12 - NIV).

There is a positive remarkable life in Jesus. It is available to everyone for the asking. The search for meaning and purpose, ends with the Savior. Life makes sense, because Jesus explained its purpose, its meaning in this life, and throughout eternity.

Today, is the day free from any bondage, negative lifestyle, or inner emptiness. This is made possible, when you believe and receive Jesus in your heart as your Savior.  Experience a journey like no other, with the assurance that you will never be alone. You will join, not a religion but the greatest reality of all!
