Arrepentimiento

Es importante saber que el diablo no puede hacer que hagamos el mal, que no puede controlar nuestra mente a menos que le entreguemos nuestra voluntad, es decir, abandonar nuestra fe en Alá. Pero cada deseo pecaminoso que apreciamos le proporciona un punto de apoyo. Cada punto en el que no cumplamos con los estándares divinos es una puerta abierta por la que puede entrar para tentarnos y destruirnos. Y cada fracaso o derrota de nuestra parte le da la oportunidad de reprochar a Isa Al Masih (ver el Capítulo 13, El Deseado de todas las gentes)

Mark 14:38, Jesus bids us to “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.” If we do fail, we can find rest in Allah because His Spirit (Roh Allah) has been leading us and that same spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. When Allah presents us with a trial, He has a purpose to accomplish for our own good.

Isa Al Masih’s famous words found in Matthew 6 tell us to find rest in Him. But what does that really mean? The closer we lean into Isa Al Masih, the more we try to emulate His character, the lighter our burdens will be because nothing is too heavy for Allah, nothing that we are faced with is bigger than what Isa Al Masih faced during His time on earth. Then Jesus said,”Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Isa Al Masih here is speaking to all of us. We are all weighed down with burdens that He tells us He can remove. The heaviest burden we bear is the burden of sin. Without Isa Al Masih, our sin and its weight would crush us. In Isaiah 53:6, a book found in the Torah, it says, “The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
Jesus invites us to cast our cares on Him because He is the one who carries us upon His heart. Jesus knows our weaknesses, our wants, and where the strength for our temptations can be found, for he was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. What Jesus is essentially inviting us to do is confine us to His will, which is immeasurable and outranks every other being in this universe. He desires that like Him, we will have a will which is high, noble, and elevating.
