One of the few
Omar Soto
(Audio: Español)
RESUMEN: To be one of the few means that you are not part of the general population, but rather part of a different group with a set of principles and values. Jesus talks about the importance of being one of the few in several texts in the Bible. To be one of the few, there are seven things that one must do, including having priorities straight, having a teachable heart, owning up to mistakes and doing everything possible to make amends, not giving up in the face of life's circumstances, understanding the meaning and value of success in one's life, staying true to the process God has us through, and trusting in God's plan.
In this sermon, the speaker talks about what it means to be one of the few, someone who is called by God and has a sense of purpose. They outline eight points that define someone who is one of the few: working on priorities, having a teachable heart, recognizing faults and working on them, understanding what success means, learning to be vulnerable, understanding sacrifice, having an intimate connection with God, and being intentional in one's dealings with God and others. The speaker emphasizes the importance of staying true to the process and being persistent in pursuing one's calling. They also emphasize the importance of having a genuine connection with God and recognizing that salvation is not enough, but one must also have a sense of calling and purpose. The speaker ends with a prayer for their audience to be covered and guided by God in all these aspects.
Lord, help us understand the true cost of sacrifice and not just getting rid of something. We give you all the glory and honor. Bless us with peaceful sleep and new strength to face tomorrow with you. Thank you for giving us the strength to do all things. In Jesus' name, amen.

Each of us is one of the few. And what does it mean to be one of the few? Well, on the one hand I can say that it means that one is not part of the crowd, that one is not part of the crowd or as I would say, well I'm not going to say it, one is not part of the bunch out there, of the bunch, Exactly, that's the word, one is not part of the general population, but one is already part of a different group.
And obviously in the society we live in there are so many groups out there that each group has its particularity and its particularity defines it, distinguishes it. But each group has a line of principles, of values by which it is governed, and we as sons and daughters of God also have our line, our pattern of principles by which we are also governed. And that makes us one of the few.
