El sermón de Joel Coyoc titulado "Mira a Cristo" aborda la doctrina de la revelación divina y el llamado de Cristo a encontrar descanso en Él, basado en Mateo 11:25-30. Coyoc argumenta que los sabios y entendidos son incapaces de reconocer a Cristo, mientras que los sencillos reciben revelación y descanso. Este pasaje se utiliza para enfatizar la soberanía de Dios en la elección de los humildes y la incapacidad inherente de los humanos para alcanzar la salvación por sus propios esfuerzos. Coyoc subraya el significado práctico de esta enseñanza, que desafía a los oyentes a abandonar su autosuficiencia y reconocer su necesidad del descanso que solo Cristo puede ofrecer, convirtiéndose en una llamada a la humildad y la dependencia total en Él. Se cita Filipenses 2 y otros textos que refuerzan la idea de que es solo a través de la obra de Cristo que se puede hallar paz con Dios.

The Bible invites all who are weary to come to Jesus, who promises rest for their souls (Matthew 11:28-30).
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus extends a call to those who are weary and burdened, promising to give them rest. This invitation highlights the reality that true rest is not found in our own efforts or in the burdens we carry, but rather in the person of Christ. By coming to Jesus, we find relief not only from the heavy load of sin but also from the striving to earn God's approval through our works. Jesus reassures us that His yoke is easy and His burden light, emphasizing that following Him, despite its challenges, ultimately leads to peace and rest for our souls as we rely on His strength and grace.
Matthew 11:28-30
The Bible teaches that God hides truth from the wise and reveals it to the humble (Matthew 11:25).
In Matthew 11:25, Jesus praises the Father for hiding the truth from the wise and revealing it to little children. This principle demonstrates God's sovereign choice to bestow understanding upon those who approach Him with humility, rather than those who rely on their own wisdom or intellect. Throughout Scripture, we see the theme that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5). Therefore, a key aspect of receiving God's revelation is acknowledging our dependence on Him and acknowledging our inability to reach Him through our own understanding or efforts. As believers, we are called to become like children, recognizing our need for divine grace to comprehend the mysteries of the faith.
Matthew 11:25, 1 Peter 5:5
Learning from Christ is essential for Christians as He exemplifies true humility and obedience (Matthew 11:29).
In Matthew 11:29, Jesus invites us to learn from Him, presenting Himself as humble and gentle. For Christians, this is of utmost importance because it emphasizes that our growth in faith and character should reflect the character of Christ. By studying His life, teachings, and actions, we are provided with a perfect model of what it means to be obedient to the Father and to live a life of service and love. Furthermore, learning from Christ transforms our nature; as we seek to become more like Him, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to exhibit humility and servitude in our own lives. This process is a lifelong journey and essential for anyone desiring to live a life that honors God and demonstrates His grace to others.
Matthew 11:29
