Discernment
"I saw with my own eyes and heard with my ears." Nobody can go against so strong an argument. This very convinced that he was a witness and not for less, or maybe yes?
The truth is that our natural senses are not foolproof, so I think it is a great virtue on adding to them the ability to "see" even beyond them. That what we reveal our natural senses is not the ultimate truth in many cases is true, it is very important and having the ability to discern.
The particularity of that book he stands out among others. Despite having been written long before his birth ... "The expectation of the Messiah in Isaiah is so strong that Jerome, ad Paulinum, calls his book is not prophecy, but Gospel of Isaiah and says:" There is both a prophet and an evangelist "Comments Jamieson Faussett Brown
The book of Isaiah is known for its abundant references to Christ, and one reads of him: Isa 11:3-4 RV1960 (T) ... Do not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears, (4) but with righteousness shall judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth ...
In the verses of this chapter Christ is presented as a judge, but as one who can understand things beyond their natural senses, allowing you to judge with justice and defending the right of the needy. This discernment, I believe, which is very useful to man in his whole life and so these words.
Discernment can be defined as the ability to distinguish one thing from another, and adding the above concept, even beyond what it seems.
Jesus showed this quality in his life: Jua TLA 2:23-24 While Jesus was in the city of Jerusalem during the Passover feast, many believed in him because they saw the miracles he did. (24) But Jesus did not trust them, nor need to be told anything from anyone, because everyone knew them and knew what they were thinking.
The natural way Jesus spoke of popularity but had the ability to separate things. In this case separated the fleeting emotions of sincere faith.
At another time it happened that ... Mat 22:15-22 TLA One day, the Pharisees got together and decided to put a trap for Jesus to say something bad. (16) sent some of his followers, along with some supporters of Herod, so they said to Jesus, "Teacher, we know you always tell the truth. You will teach people that they must obey God in everything. You do not care what anyone says about your teaching, because you do not speak to get along with them. (17) now tell us what you think: Is it OK to pay taxes to the emperor of Rome, or not? (18) But Jesus knew that they had bad intentions, he said: - hypocrites! Why do you put a trap? (19) Show me a coin used to pay the tax. Then they brought her a silver coin (20) and Jesus asked: - Who is the image that is on the coin? Who is the name that is written? (21) They replied: 'Of the Roman emperor. Jesus said, "Then give him the emperor is the emperor, and to God what is God's. (22) The Pharisees were astonished to hear the answer, and left.
The words were sweet but the intentions were bitter, and that Jesus knew discern.
The Bible presents Jesus not only as having this ability to "unbundle" things even beyond appearances, so the believer is encouraged to exercise it. Some examples are:
-in ourselves: 1Co 11:31 DHHe (D) If we were to examine it ourselves, the Lord would not have to punish us,
Some are so drunk on their natural senses by the success or the pride that they are unable to separate what really are before God, of what they think before Him careful, we use discernment but first and foremost in ourselves to judge with justice firstly, our own heart.
-in preaching or teaching that we hear: 1Co 14:29 BNP case of prophets speak two or three, and others must judge.
Some fill our eyes with their looks and gestures, others our ears with his oratory, yet what we hear is not always good. Discerning education beyond what they perceive our natural senses deliver us from being deceived by the many who today speak without knowing what they say.
-in the Will of God: Eph 5:17 Therefore BNP are not reckless, but rather seek to understand what the will of the Lord.
The dictionary defines Tuggy Greek words "understand" how to discern, perceive, realize (G4920). Paul is calling the church at Ephesus to achieve discern, separate, what really is the Will of God than not. For this lot would have to say because most twisted things have been justified by arguing that it was the Divine Will. Suffice it here only a warning: not everything that is said to be God's will really is. Be careful lest our own passions are blurring our perception and if we can not separate what is human will which is Divine.
It is at this point ask the question: how can I get the ability to discern?.
The answer is simple: God.
God appears to King Solomon and says "ask me anything you want. This was what he asked: 1 Kings 3:9-12 BNP Teach me to listen to govern your people know and discern between good and evil, if not, who can govern this thy so great people? (10) the Lord that Solomon was fine with that request, (11) and said ... (12) will give you what you asked for: a mind wise and prudent, as there was none before or will come after you.
He asked for discernment and God granted it.
As a fair judge, Christ will separate truth from falsehood, the just and the unjust, the unclean clean, and that beyond appearances.
So we, through discernment to separate things succeed in ourselves and in others. Is there words we heard that enclose different reasons, one eye appears to self-sufficiency that is a cry for help, in some cases tears are not sincere.
Great virtue for anyone who aspires to grow in his humanity is to not be caught in the deception and to "see" beyond what your eyes see and ears hear. On one side will escape the trap hidden and the other will be more effective in understanding and helping those in their need, crosses his path.
