The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who has been born from the spirit.—John 3:8.
Those who have been invited in such a manner may wonder: ‘Why have I been selected? Why me and not someone else?’ They may even question their own worthiness. But they do not question the fact that they have been invited. Their hearts are bursting with joy and appreciation. They feel much as did Peter when he said under inspiration: “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for you.” (1 Pet. 1:3, 4) When anointed ones read those words, they know without any doubt that their heavenly Father is speaking to them personally. w16.01 3:11, 12

Thanks be to God for his indescribable free gift.—2 Cor. 9:15.
When Jehovah sent his only-begotten Son to this earth, He gave what would become the greatest possible gift of love! (John 3:16; 1 John 4:9, 10) The apostle Paul called it God’s “indescribable free gift.” Paul knew that all the magnificent promises of God were guaranteed through the perfect sacrifice of Christ. (2 Cor. 1:20) Thus, that “indescribable free gift” would include all the goodness and loyal love that Jehovah would extend to us through Jesus. Indeed, that gift is so awe-inspiring that it cannot be fully described in human terms. How should receiving such an extraordinary gift affect us? And in what practical ways should this gift motivate us? Does it compel you to reconsider your actions and even change the way you have been living your life? Are you moved to be more generous and loving toward others and to forgive any who have wronged you? Remember, what Jehovah has given us through Christ is by far the greatest gift ever given.—1 Pet. 3:18. w16.01 2:1, 2, 4, 5

THE WORDS OF JESUS
At John 14:23,24....." In answer, Jesus said to him, if anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Verse 24....Whoever does not love me does not observe my words. The word you are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me."
The words of Jesus, his commands, include the command to preach the Kingdom Good News in all the earth. Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20. We observe that command by doing all within our power---expending our time, energy, and material resources---to promote the Kingdom-preaching work. We thereby show our love for the Messianic King, Jesus Christ.
(An important point from our Bible Study this week)
So there is a question we all must answer for ourselves...."Do I really love Christ Jesus, and demonstrate that my by actions.....or.....are my words claiming to love him merely just empty words with no real meaning?"
( by Roger B. Elder )

Lucas el médico amado les envÃa sus saludos (Col. 4:14).
Es probable que Lucas haya atendido las necesidades médicas de Pablo y el resto de sus compañeros durante los viajes misionales que realizaron. ¿Cómo lo sabemos? Porque la Biblia dice que hubo ocasiones en las que Pablo enfermó mientras estaba de viaje (Gál. 4:13). Jesús dijo: “Los que están sanos no necesitan médico, pero los que se hallan mal sÔ (Luc. 5:31). Y quién mejor que Lucas para ayudar cuando surgÃa la necesidad. Lucas no era un médico improvisado; estudió medicina. Aunque la Biblia no dice dónde lo hizo, se cree que fue en Laodicea, donde habÃa una escuela de medicina. ¿Por qué? Porque Pablo mandó los saludos de Lucas a los cristianos de Colosas, que estaba cerca de Laodicea. Si Lucas estudió en Laodicea, es probable que conociera a los hermanos de Colosas. Otra prueba de que estudió medicina es que incluyó en su evangelio muchas de las curaciones de Jesús y usó términos médicos en ese relato y en el de Hechos. w15 15/12 4:11, 12

¡Con cuán pequeño fuego se incendia tan grande bosque! (Sant. 3:5).
Santiago aclara esta ilustración en el versÃculo 6: “La lengua [también] es un fuego”. Tal como el fuego es peligroso, la lengua —es decir, nuestra capacidad de hablar— puede causar mucho daño. De hecho, la Biblia dice: “Muerte y vida están en el poder de la lengua” (Prov. 18:21). Desde luego, no dejamos de usar el fuego tan solo porque podrÃa quemarnos. De igual manera, no vamos a dejar de hablar tan solo porque podrÃamos herir a alguien con nuestras palabras. Lo importante es mantener el control. Si controlamos el fuego, nos sirve para cocinar, calentarnos o ver en la oscuridad. Si controlamos la lengua, nos servirá para alabar a Jehová y servir al prójimo (Sal. 19:14). Sea que nos comuniquemos con la lengua o haciendo señas con las manos, la capacidad de transmitir nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos es un regalo de Dios. Sin embargo, deberÃamos usar este regalo para hacer el bien a quienes nos rodean, y no el mal (Sant. 3:9, 10). w15 15/12 3:1-3

Todas las cosas que fueron escritas en tiempo pasado fueron escritas para nuestra instrucción (Rom. 15:4).
Dios no se limitó a hablar en hebreo con los humanos. Cuando las circunstancias cambiaron después del exilio de Babilonia, el arameo se convirtió en el lenguaje cotidiano de algunos de sus siervos. Quizás por eso inspiró a los profetas Daniel y JeremÃas, y al sacerdote Esdras para que escribieran parte de sus libros en arameo. Cuando Alejandro Magno conquistó gran parte del mundo antiguo, el griego común (o koiné) se convirtió en un idioma internacional. Muchos judÃos comenzaron a hablar griego, lo que hizo necesario que se tradujeran las Escrituras Hebreas. La primera traducción, y una de las más importantes que se hicieron, fue la Septuaginta. Se cree que 72 traductores trabajaron en ella, lo que explica la variedad de estilos que contiene. Algunos tradujeron palabra por palabra, mientras que otros fueron más liberales. Fuera como fuera, los judÃos de habla griega y más adelante los cristianos veÃan esta traducción como la Palabra de Dios. w15 15/12 1:4-6

She is living in the US. - I'm living in Germany, weird situation. I always proofread my postings, not want making any mistakes
 but we're all not perfect. Maybe she posted really TOO much...  then mistakes are preprogrammed. Thats my personal opinion.  I love posting since ca. 7 years and I learned alot !  For me it were awkward, making regular such of mistakes ;-(   But we're all so different....

Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings.—Col. 4:14.
It is reasonable to believe that Luke gave Paul medical advice and rendered medical services to him and to others in his missionary group. Why would Luke need to do that? Because even Paul got sick while traveling. (Gal. 4:13) Luke could provide medical help that was in line with what Jesus had said: “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.” (Luke 5:31) The Bible does not indicate where or when Luke received his medical training. It has been suggested that Paul mentioned to Christians in Colossae the role of Luke as a physician because they knew him. Interestingly, there was a medical school in nearby Laodicea. In any event, Luke was not some untrained layman spouting health recommendations; he was a physician. That is evident both from the specific medical language that Luke used in his Gospel and in the book of Acts and from the way he focused on Jesus’ healings of others. w15 12/15 4:11, 12

See how small a fire it takes to set a great forest ablaze!—Jas. 3:5.
The point of James’ illustration is made clear in verse 6. “The tongue is also a fire.” The tongue represents our ability to speak. Like fire, our speech has the potential for causing great harm. The Bible even says that “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Prov. 18:21) Of course, we do not stop talking just out of concern that we might say something harmful, any more than we refuse to use fire because we fear the damage it might cause. The key is control. If we control fire, we can use it to cook our food, warm our bodies, and light up a dark night. If we tame our tongue, we can use its power to honor God and to benefit others. (Ps. 19:14) Whether we use sounds from our mouth or signs with our hands, the ability to communicate our thoughts and feelings is a marvelous gift from God. This gift, however, should be used to build up, not tear down.—Jas. 3:9, 10. w15 12/15 3:1-3

All the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction.—Rom. 15:4.
God did not restrict his communication with humans to Hebrew. After the Babylonian exile, Aramaic became the everyday language of some of GodÂ’s people. Perhaps to indicate what was to come, Jehovah inspired the prophets Daniel and Jeremiah and the priest Ezra to record portions of their Bible books in Aramaic. Alexander the Great later conquered much of the ancient world, and common, or Koine, Greek became an international language. Many Jews began to speak that language, leading to the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. This translation, thought to have been done by 72 translators, became known as the Septuagint. It was the first translation of the Bible and one of the most important. The work of so many translators resulted in varied translation styles, from literal to rather free. Nevertheless, the Septuagint was viewed as GodÂ’s Word by Greek-speaking Jews and later by Christians. w15 12/15 1:4-6
