Algunos de nosotros parecen haber dejado la resurrección en un lugar muy lejano -quizás para algunos, inexistente- en nuestra predicación. Cuando esto es así, no está en armonía con la proclamación bíblica del Evangelio. Les insto a que se sienten con su Biblia y lean detenidamente y en oración el libro de los Hechos. Allí encontramos una predicación genuina y llena del Espíritu Santo de las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo.
