1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:08,000
The Peace of the Lord, brothers and sisters! 
Now we are going to make a parallel between 
the 7 days of creation and the work of Jesus 
Christ here on earth.

2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:13,300
What could the seven days have to do with 
Jesus' work?

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:21,400
Well, the first thing we are going to see 
is that all of this has a very intimate relationship 
with Jesus and his disciples.

4
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:26,200
On the first day the Bible says that there 
was Light, "God said, 'Let there be light'" 
(Gen. 1.3)

5
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:29,500
On the second day He made a separation between 
waters and waters.

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:37,000
On the third day, God created trees and fruits, 
and seeds, these things.

7
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:43,100
On the fourth day God created the luminaries 
and said that they should be there to mark 
the seasons, days, and years.

8
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,700
This will work mainly for the people of Israel 
for sacred dates.

9
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,000
“Mow'ed” [Hebrew] means fixed time or season, 
they are solemn feasts to the Lord.

10
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:59,700
On the fifth day God created sea creatures 
and birds, marine animals, flying animals, 
alright?!

11
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,100
On the sixth day he created the rest of animals 
and humanity.

12
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:12,200
And on the seventh day the Bible says that 
the "Shabath" [Hebrew], which is the Sabbath, 
is the day of rest,

13
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:19,600
God rested, although He did not need to rest. 
Jesus said: “To this very day My Father is 
at His work, and I too am working". (Jn 5.17)

14
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:26,400
What did Jesus [do] and what the Father and 
Jesus do today? We will understand!

15
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:38,000
On the first day it says that God created 
the light, saying: "Let there be light", 
and there was light, in darkness there was 
light.

16
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:47,300
In verse 1 of Genesis it says: “In the beginning 
God created the heavens and the earth. Now 
the earth was formless and void,

17
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:56,100
and darkness was over the surface of the 
deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering 
over the surface of the waters. And God said, 
‘Let there be light’, and there was light”. 
(Gen. 1-1-3)

18
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,000
And Jesus Christ said that He is the light 
of the world.

19
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:08,200
Let's read John, chapter 1... I'm going to 
start from chapter 1 because this is a very 
important subject.

20
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:15,300
In John, chapter 1, says so (note when he 
speaks of light): “In the beginning was the 
Word, and the Word was with God, and the 
Word was God.

21
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:25,800
He [the Word] was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without 
him nothing was made that has been made”. 
(Jn 1.1-3)

22
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:31,200
So he's talking about the beginning! "All 
things were made by him (...)",

23
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:40,200
and then he says: "In him was life, and that 
life was the light of men". (Jn 1.4) He is 
talking about the beginning and he is talking 
about the light.

24
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:57,800
"The light shines in the darkness,[look, 
God made the separation of light and darkness 
that day, called the light "day" and the 
darkness "night"] and the darkness has not 
overcome it". (Jn 1.5)

25
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:06,500
Interestingly, light was created before the 
sun, before the luminaries (sun, moon and 
stars).

26
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:17,300
“There was a man sent from God whose name 
was John. He came as a witness to testify 
concerning that light, so that through him 
all might believe.

27
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:25,200
He himself was not the Light; he came only 
as a witness [testify] to the Light.

28
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:37,300
The true Light  that gives light to everyone 
was coming into the world. He was in the 
world [Jesus], and though the world was made 
through him,

29
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000
“the world was made by Him!”

30
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:49,500
the world did not recognize him. He came 
to that which was his own, but his own did 
not receive him.

31
00:03:49,600 --> 00:04:05,500
Yet to all who did receive him, to those 
who believed in his name, he gave the right 
to become children of God” (Jn 1:6-12) [these 
are the children of God].

32
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Some rejected Jesus, it is not irresistible, 
Grace was offered to everyone, but "his own 
received him not".

33
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:30,200
"who were born, [us, children of God] not 
of blood, [is not of the seed of Abraham, 
in the flesh], nor of the will of the flesh, 
nor of the will of man, but of God". (Jn 
1:13)

34
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:40,200
Remember what Jesus says? “You must be born 
again, Nicodemus... Be born of water and 
the Spirit, it's not the ones born in the 
flesh who are already saved”. (Jo 3.1-21)

35
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:50,000
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling 
among us. We have seen his glory, [his brilliance], 
the glory of the one and only Son, who came 
from the Father, full of grace and truth.

36
00:04:50,100 --> 00:05:02,200
John [Baptist] testified concerning him. 
He cried out, saying, "This is the one I 
spoke about when I said, 'He who comes after 
me has surpassed me [which is Jesus], because 
he was before me.'" (Jn 1:14-15)

37
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:15,100
Out of his fullness we have all received 
grace in place of grace already given. For 
the law was given through Moses; grace and 
truth [reality] came through Jesus Christ.

38
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:22,900
No one has ever seen God, but the one and 
only Son, who is himself God and is in closest 
relationship with the Father, has made him 
known”. (John 1: 16-18)

39
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Therefore, every time you see the image of 
God in the Old Testament, when a man saw 
God, he did see God, but in his image: Christ!

40
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:40,500
Every time someone had contact and saw God, 
they spoke to God face to face, they did 
speak to God Himself,

41
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,400
but they spoke with the image of God, his 
son Jesus, who is the Light that shines in 
the midst of darkness.

42
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:53,300
Now, look how interesting! John, chapter 
3, verse 19.

43
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,700
Remember that those who believe in the name 
of Jesus, these are saved, so let's look 
at verse 18 first:

44
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:08,900
“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, 
but whoever does not believe stands condemned 
already because they have not believed in 
the name of God's one and only Son.

45
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
This is the verdict: Light has come into 
the world [the Light present in the creation 
of the world in Gen 1.3],

46
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:26,100
but people loved darkness instead of light 
because their deeds were evil”. They liked 
the darkness better because their works were 
evil.

47
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,400
“Everyone who does evil hates the light, 
[they want to hide from the light]

48
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:38,500
and will not come into the light for fear 
that their deeds will be exposed [those who 
do wrong things don't like to be questioned].

49
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:47,400
But whoever practices the truth comes to 
the light, so that it may be seen plainly 
that what they have done has been done in 
the sight of God”. (Jo 3.20-21)

50
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:54,300
In the beginning, darkness covered the whole 
earth, but the Light came.

51
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,100
Now let's go to John, chapter 8, verse 12:

52
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:14,400
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he 
said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever 
follows me will never walk in darkness, but 
will have the light of life'".

53
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:23,500
Remember when Jesus said: whoever wants to 
to follow me, deny themselves, abandon the 
things you learned in darkness, alright?! 
(Mt 16.24)

54
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Now you will be shaped according to the illumination 
of God's understanding.

55
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:34,700
David also says this: Your word is a lamp 
for my feet, a light on my path. (Ps 119,105) 
Jesus is the light!

56
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,900
Now let's follow to the second point: the 
waters, right?!

57
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Jesus says something interesting in a conversation 
with a woman in John, chapter 4, from verses 
10 to 14:

58
00:07:50,300 --> 00:08:02,600
“Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift 
of God and who it is that asks you for a 
drink, you would have asked him and he would 
have given you living water.'"

59
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:16,400
"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing 
to draw with and the well is deep. Where 
can you get this living water? [do you know 
what a ‘living water’ is? It is the water 
that springs from a source,

60
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:25,200
then she asks: how are you going to give 
me living water, running water, since you 
don't even have a bucket to draw water from 
the well.]

61
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:34,000
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who 
gave us the well and drank from it himself, 
as did also his sons and his livestock?"

62
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:38,700
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this 
water will be thirsty again,

63
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:52,200
but whoever drinks the water I give them 
will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give 
them will become in them a spring of water 
welling up to eternal life."

64
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:57,400
Look, brothers and sisters! Living waters, 
that's what He's saying here!

65
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:17,500
Now in chapter 7, verse 38 [of John] it says 
thus: “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture 
has said, rivers of living water will flow 
from within them."

66
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,800
Here Jesus makes a connection about the water.

67
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:31,400
Then: trees, fruits and seeds. You remember 
that Jesus speaks of the parable about the 
Gospel: “The sower went out to sow his seed…”, 
(Lk 8.5-15)

68
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:42,100
the figure of the Word of God as a seed, 
its fruits are the works that you do, and 
He puts himself as the tree, when He says: 
"I am the true vine (...)".

69
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:53,200
John 15, here [on the whiteboard] I just 
put verses 1 and 5. Let's read verse 1: “I 
am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener”.

70
00:09:53,300 --> 00:10:07,100
And here He will talk about fruits, alright?! 
“He cuts off every branch in me that bears 
no fruit, while every branch that does bear 
fruit he prunes so that it will be even more 
fruitful.

71
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,900
You are already clean because of the word 
I have spoken to you.

72
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No 
branch can bear fruit by itself; it must 
remain in the vine. Neither can you bear 
fruit unless you remain in me.

73
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:32,300
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you 
remain in me and I in you, you will bear 
much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. 
(Jn 15.2-5)

74
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Tree, fruit, seed ... preaching. So here 
Jesus makes a connection with one of the 
days [of creation], this parallel is evident, 
right?!

75
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,800
Fourth: the luminaries.

76
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:55,100
We will read Malachi 4:2, (come on, while 
I open my bible you open yours too):

77
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:04,300
“But for you who fear my name, the sun of 
righteousness [this is Christ] shall rise

78
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:14,300
with healing [or salvation] n its wings; 
[on the edge of his garments, like when the 
woman touches Jesus garments and is healed/saved 
(Mt 9.20-22)]

79
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:23,900
You shall go out leaping like calves from 
the stall”. They will be happy, right?! happy, 
bouncing calf ...

80
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,800
Now in Psalm 84:11 it says so ... (look how 
nice it is!)

81
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:50,200
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The 
LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing 
does He withhold from those who walk uprightly”. 
(Ps 84.11)

82
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:54,400
The LORD is “sun and shield”, Jesus is the 
“sun of justice”.

83
00:11:54,500 --> 00:12:16,300
Matthew 13:43 says, "Then the righteous [you 
who are the son of the Light] will shine 
like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 
He who has ears, let him hear."

84
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:24,100
In Daniel, he says that those who teach many 
will shine like the stars in the sky, always 
and forever, shining more and more.

85
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Matthew 17, verse 2: Jesus “There he was 
transfigured before them. His face shone 
like the sun, and his clothes became as white 
as the light”.
