Devocionales de Alfonso Gomez Plaza: CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL- TALKING TO TRANSLATOR

TALKING TO TRANSLATOR

There are people who cannot communicate with others in any way, neither verbally, nor in writing.

I have been living in England for more than five years and no matter how hard I try, with many local people, I just cannot understand myself. When you try to learn a language, there is an error that is never taught in academies and that is culture. And it is that culture directly influences our way of speaking, thinking, and acting personally and collectively. Our culture makes us understand many important issues easily. Culture opens the door for us or closes it for us to understand other cultures. In the kingdom of heaven, it is spoken from the culture of the kingdom of God. Within our natural minds we intend to take the Bible and give it our context and meaning which, in most cases, has nothing to do with the thoughts of the kingdom of heaven. Let us remember that the Bible is written by people from the East. Let us remember that the Bible or the oral transmission of the deeds of the Jewish people with God, are more than 3,500 years old. This and many other things condition us, and it seems that we need a translator to read the Bible.

"And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead."

Mark 9. 9

There are certain biblical passages that make me put my hands to my head: Jesus Christ begins this teaching by saying that many before dying will see the kingdom of heaven acting with power. He takes James, Peter, and John and before them is transfigured and becomes God, so that Moses and Elijah appear to them. In the end he tells the apostles that they cannot talk about this great miracle until he rises from the dead. Hey, sorry Master, what is this you ask of us? If today I am dying to preach the gospel of Christ, even with my intermediate level English, how will God ask me to keep a miracle of yours for me until a specified date?

"And they kept the word among themselves, discussing what it would be like to rise from the dead."

Mark 9. 10

In truth, on certain occasions, due to the lack of revelation, what God tells us, we need him to tell us by talking to a translator to understand, analyse and assimilate what he said. But to be honest, this lack of understanding also goes through our lack of intimacy with God. Perhaps, if we were to spend more time cultivating our relationship with him, we would easily understand what God asks of us and thus, the level of understanding to obey his commands and statutes would be quite high. Let us not waste any more time and look for God in full intimacy to be those little Christs that we should be.

God bless you.
