Description
Durante las décadas que lleva como maestro y Apóstol del Señor Jesucristo, el élder Jeffrey R. Holland a menudo ha compartido extraordinarias perspectivas que ha obtenido al estudiar el Nuevo Testamento. Nuestra Estrella de la Mañana está saliendo compila esas perspectivas: tanto sobre la historia y el contexto que rodean el Nuevo Testamento, como a partir de las enseñanzas que se encuentran en el Nuevo Testamento mismo, mostrando así la manera en que él se vale de sus versículos para brindar una nueva dimensión a diversos temas doctrinales.
Entre los muchos nombres de Cristo, se encuentra la Estrella de la Mañana —el sol— “que alumbra en lugar oscuro […] en vuestros corazones” (2 Pedro 1:19). En la vida tenemos períodos de dificultad que podrían durar varios días, varios meses o hasta varios años: un problema doloroso que no se resuelve; una relación conflictiva que no parece sanar; o épocas prolongadas de mala salud, de mala situación económica o de malas decisiones. Sin embargo, en medio de todo y de alguna manera, no solo cuando Él venga de nuevo, sino también durante la espera de Su llegada, podemos tener la tranquilidad de que Su luz nos guiará de manera infalible: una estrella por la noche y el resplandeciente sol de gloria durante el día. Este libro nos recuerda la promesa de que, si la esperamos, si estamos pendientes de ella y si la anhelamos lo suficiente, nuestra Estrella de la Mañana con certeza saldrá en nuestros corazones.
- Our Day Star Rising (Spanish)
In his decades as a teacher and an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has often shared remarkable insights gleaned from his study of the New Testament. Our Day Star Rising compiles these insights: those about the history and context of the New Testament as well as teachings from the New Testament, wherein he uses its verses to cast new light on various doctrinal themes.
Among the many names of Christ is the Day Star—the sun—that "shineth in a dark place until the day dawn...in your hearts" (2 Peter 1:19). Our lives will have difficult periods, which may go on for days, months, or even years. But in all of it, somehow, not only when He comes again but also during the anticipation of His coming, we can rest assured that His light will guide us unfailingly through. This book reminds us of the promise that, if we wait for it and watch for it and want it badly enough, our Day Star will most certainly arise in our hearts.
