El sermón "Jesús mejor que todos" predicado por José Dzul se centra en la superioridad de Cristo sobre todo lo demás en la vida del creyente. Utilizando Juan 6:66, el predicador explora por qué muchos discípulos abandonaron a Jesús, argumentando que su rechazo se debe a la ofensa del verdadero evangelio, que confronta el orgullo humano. Dzul destaca que aquellos que no creen y se alejan de Cristo no han experimentado la regeneración verdadera del corazón, apoyándose en 1 Juan 2:19 para ilustrar este punto. En su aplicación, el predicador enfatiza que solo Cristo es el camino hacia la salvación y la vida eterna, ofreciendo un pacto incondicional y una justicia que imparte su propia justicia a los creyentes, destacando la importancia de confiar en Él por gracia.

The Bible indicates that some stop following Jesus because they do not truly believe in Him (John 6:64).
According to John 6:64, Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, which explains why many disciples turned away from Him. They were offended by His teachings, particularly regarding eating His flesh and drinking His blood, which points to the challenge of accepting the gospel that offends human pride. True faith involves more than emotional or intellectual assent; it requires a heart that has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit to genuinely believe.
John 6:64, 1 John 2:19
Jesus asserted that He is the way, the truth, and the life, confirming that no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
In John 14:6, Jesus unequivocally states His divine exclusivity as the only pathway to God, reinforcing that no religious rites, moral efforts, or other figures can mediate our relationship with the Father. This assertion is central to sovereign grace theology: salvation is not through works or tradition but solely through faith in Christ as the Savior. This belief aligns with the doctrine of TULIP, emphasizing that it is God's grace, given freely, that brings us to salvation.
John 14:6
Being clothed in Christ's righteousness is essential for salvation, as it signifies our acceptance and standing before God (Luke 15:22).
In the parable of the prodigal son, highlighted in Luke 15:22, the father orders the best robe to be put on his son, symbolizing the righteousness of Christ that is bestowed upon believers. This righteousness is not something we can earn or purchase; it is given freely by grace through faith in Christ. Being clothed in His righteousness means that when God looks at us, He sees the perfection of His Son, allowing us to stand justified before Him, free from condemnation.
Luke 15:22
Jesus is our eternal covenant mediator, securing a better covenant through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death (Hebrews 7:22).
Hebrews 7:22 declares Jesus as the mediator of a better covenant, which signifies that He fulfills the requirements of God’s law on behalf of His people. Unlike the old covenant based on conditional obedience, this new covenant is rooted in grace and unconditional promise, entirely dependent on Christ’s mediating work. His sacrificial death addresses our inability to keep the law, freeing us from condemnation and granting us eternal life, a core tenet of Reformed theology emphasizing God's sovereign grace.
Hebrews 7:22
Jesus is called the Good Shepherd because He knows His sheep and lays down His life for them (John 10:14-15).
In John 10:14-15, Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd, highlighting His intimate relationship with His followers. He knows His sheep with a personal connection that transcends mere acquaintance; He cares for them deeply and even sacrifices His life for their well-being. This pastoral role emphasizes His commitment to guide, protect, and provide for believers, assuring them of their eternal safety in Him. This concept reinforces the sovereign grace belief that true believers will never be lost, as they are eternally held by Christ’s love and power.
John 10:14-15
