(ANG MAPALAD NA PAG-ASA NG MGA KRISTIYANO)
TITUS 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”
COLOSSIANS
1:27 “To
whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
Panimula:
a.
Pianangakuan ng Diyos ang Kristiyano ng
mapalad na pag-asa kay Hesu-Kristo.
b.
Punung-puno ng kadahilanan ang mundong
ito upang tayo ay mawalan ng pag-asa. Kapag ang Kristiyano ay titingin sa
sanlibutan, malaki ang magiging posibilidad na mawalan tayo ng pag-asa.
HEBREWS 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of
God.”

I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of
this book.”

nalalapit na pagbabalik at Siya ay hindi sinungaling sa Kanyang mga pangako.

if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.”
2. IT IS A
COMFORTING HOPE
(Ito ay nagbibigay-aliw na pag-asa)
1THESSALONIANS
4:17-18 “Then
we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Thes 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Totoong nagbibigay ng kaaliwan ang
pag-asa na ibinibigay ng Diyos sa mga Kristiyano dahil sa pangako ng pagbabalik
ni Kristo.

Sinabi mismo ni Hesus sa mga disipulo
na huwag magulumihanan ang inyong puso. Sila ay inaaliw sa dakilang pangako ng
pagbabalik ng Panginoong Hesus.
JOHN 14:1-2 “Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Jn 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

3. IT IS A
CLEANSING HOPE
(Ito ay nakapaglilinis na pag-asa)
1JOHN 3:1-3 “Behold, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the
world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”

1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”
a. Nagbibigay ng dahilan ang pag-asa ng pagbabalik ng Panginoong Hesus na
linisin ang ating buhay.
b. Naglilinis ng ating buhay Kristiyano ang Salita ng Diyos at maging ang
mga pangako Niya.
JOHN 15:3 “Now ye are clean through the word which
I have spoken unto you.”
4. IT IS A
CONSTRAINING HOPE
(Ito ay nagpupumilit na pag-asa)
1THESSALONIANS
1:9-10 “For
they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how
ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
1Thes 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
1Thes 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
a. Ipinagkaloob ang pag-asang ito sa mga Kristiyano upang pilitin silang
maging matapat sa Kaniyang pagbabalik.
MATTHEW 24:45-46 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?
Mt 24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
Mt 24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
Pangwakas:
Totoong tiyak ang pag-asa ng Kristiyano, nagbibigay
aliw, naglilinis at nagpupumilit na pag-asa dahil ito ay pangako ng Diyos. Hindi
Siya sinungaling sa Kanyang pangako.
TITUS 1:2 “In hope of eternal life, which God, that
cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
