5 min read“Estamos todos rotos.” That is the opening confession of Marcos Witt, speaking from a stage with a new prosthetic knee and a walking cane, to a congregation he calls the “Club de Rotos”—the Club of the Broken. Witt, a renowned Latin Christian singer and pastor, uses the obscure biblical figure Mephibosheth—grandson of King Saul, dropped as a five-year-old by a fleeing nurse, paralyzed for life—as the organizing metaphor for a sermon that is less about theology than about the universal experience of being damaged and the choice of what to do with that damage.

Todos, de alguna manera, estamos rotos. En algún momento de nuestra vida hemos sufrido burlas, insultos o apodos; nos han marginado, menospreciado, ignorado o herido física, emocional o psicológicamente. Quizás fue por accidente, por malicia o por azares de la vida; cualquiera que sea el caso, la rotura deja marcas de dolor, recuerdos tristes y traumas. Sin embargo, nuestra rotura no nos define. Por el contrario, traerá gloria a Dios cuando comprendamos que, para Él, no somos víctimas, sino vencedores. Está en nosotros el aceptar hoy Su invitación a vivir como Sus hijos, sentados a Su mesa, confiando en Su amor y misericordia.
