some guests have moved away, some have moved to
nursing facilities, some have become sick or disabled,
and some have died. We miss each one. Please remember our guests and their many needs in your prayers.
Christ has touched them in a way they will never forget,
and they have touched us in a way we will never forget.
We are blessings to one another from Christ.

Raices Biblicas del Cristianismo
Herederos del Pueblo de Dios. Se denomina cristianismo a la
religión en conjunto que fue fundada por Cristo Jesús, “piedra
angular de toda su doctrina” (1Corintios 3,10-11 ; 1Pedro
2,4.6-8). Esta religión heredó del pueblo judío la fe en un único y verdadero Dios (Exodo 20,2-3), que tiene sus inicios desde la “santa alianza” entre Yahvé con el patriarca Abraham
(Génesis 12,1-2); convirtiendo al pueblo de Israel, en una
“nación santa y reino de sacerdotes” (Exodo 19,5-6). De la
Antigua a la Nueva Alianza. Sin embargo, “cuando se cumplió
el tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, que nació de una mujer, sometido a la ley de Moisés”(Gálatas 4,4). El es el “gran sumo sacerdote” (Hebreos 4,14), que establece un “nuevo pacto” (Hebreos 8,6), por su muerte salvadora en la cruz (Efesios
2,16; Colosenses 1,20 ), dando origen al “verdadero pueblo
de Dios” (Gálatas 6,16). Por consiguiente, “Ya no importa el
ser judío o griego, esclavo o libre, hombre o mujer; porque
unidos a Cristo Jesús, todos ustedes son uno solo. Y si son de
Cristo, son descendientes de Abraham y herederos de la promesa que Dios le hizo” (Gálatas 3,28-29). Ya en cuanto al
término “cristiano” con que se identifica a los discípulos de
Cristo, empezó a utilizarse en la provincia romana de Antioquía (actual Antakya, en Turquía) (Hechos 11,26). Este nombre fue aceptado por todos aquellos que soportaban los sufrimientos de su fe (1Pedro 4,16); convirtiéndose así en auténticos soldados de Cristo (2Timoteo 2,3). Mi nombre es Cristiano
y mi apellido es Católico. El cristianismo estuvo conformado
en sus mismo albores históricos por el catolicismo, que tiene
a Jesús como cabeza (Coloseses 1,18; Efesios 5,23), al fundar su congregación sobre el apóstol Pedro (roca) (Jn 1,42;
Mateo 16,16-18; Lucas 22,32; Juan 21,15-17). La palabra
griega“ Iglesia“ asamblea de fieles (1 Corintios 1,2)“Católica”
universal (apocalipsis 7,9); fue utilizada por primera vez por
san Ignacio de Antioquía a principios del siglo segundo de
nuestra era (8). Ella es “la familia de Dios, que es la iglesia
del Dios viviente, la cual sostiene y defiende la vedad.
