Reseña del libro "Am I A Dead Dog? (en Inglés)"
The tale of Mephibosheth in the Old Testament is an exciting story. Set in the days of King David, it has all the elements of a great novel. War, loss, tragic accident, exile, good fortune, revolution and revenge are all part of this adventure story. Mephibosheth, the crippled son of Prince Jonathan, was in the midst of it all. But most of all the story of Mephibosheth is an Old Testament type of the gospel. It is the story of how a fallen, undeserving, helpless sinner becomes the object of God's redemptive grace, due to a previous blood covenant! Mephibosheth lost everything when his father Jonathan fell; just as we lost all when our father Adam, as the federal head, fell. Mephibosheth was a helpless cripple. No work could be performed to gain God's (David) favor. His concept of God (David) was wrong. He thought David (God) was his enemy and he was hiding from God (David). But God (David) came looking for Mephibosheth, not to harm him but to release the covenant blessing of God into his life. God loves the sinner and seeks the sinner. We were not seeking God."... there is none that seeks after God," Romans 3:11(KJV). He was, and is, the initiator. He cut an eternal blood covenant 2000 years ago on a hill called Golgotha. The covenant is between the Father and his eternal son; who became the Son of Man (Jesus) and the representative of fallen man. But the covenant was not only between the Father and Jesus the Son, but with all those in the spiritual loins of Jesus. The covenant is with all those "in Christ". Because of this blood covenant, all the covenant mercies of God - forgiveness, fellowship, healing, deliverance, prosperity, wholeness - flow to us. But because of our false identity - the dead dog image - it is difficult for us to believe and receive his offer. It's too good to be true. Too often, we continue to live out our false identify rather than believing who we truly are. This little book will help you move from the false identity of a stinking, worthless, dead dog to your true identity in Christ as a highly favored son or daughter of the king. What an exciting, life-changing discovery!
