WHEN GOD SAID TO HIS PEOPLE TO
STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD, WHAT DOES GOD REALLY MEANS?
(NANG SINABI NG DIYOS SA KANYANG BAYAN NA MAGSITINDIG KAYO AT
TIGNAN ANG PAGLILIGTAS NG PANGINOON, ANO ANG KANYANG IBIG SABIHIN?)
EXODUS 14:13-14 “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Ex 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Panimula:
a. Sinalita ni Moises sa bayan ng
Diyos ang mga bagay na ito nang sila ay nasa malalim na panghihina at sama ng
loob sa kanyang pangunguna.
Þ May mga ilang tao sa bayan ng Diyos na
naniniwala sa pangunguna ni Moises sa kabila ng panggigiit ni Pharaoh at ng
kanyang mga sundalo.
Þ Subalit may mga tao rin na nanghihina at
nagdududa sa pangunguna ng kanilang lider dahil sa may kinakaharap silang
malaking suliranin sa pagganap ng kalooban ng Panginoon.
b. Nagbigay
si Moises ng hamon sa kanila upang tumigil at tignan ang pagliligtas ng
Panginoon.
Apat na bagay patungkol sa
hamon na ito:
1. “STAND STILL” MEANS THAT
WHEN FACING THREAT IN LIFE, GOD WILL PROTECT YOU
(Ang ibig sabihin ng pagtindig
ay kapag nakaharap ng pagbabanta sa buhay, ipagtatanggol tayo ng Diyos)
EXODUS 13:21 “And the Lord
went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by
night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”
a. Ang
ulap na nanguna sa kanila at apoy na nagliwanag sa kanila ay nagpapahayag ng
presensya ng Panginoon at Kanyang proteksyon.
b. Ang
Diyos na Siyang nagmamalasakit sa Kanyang bayan ay hindi umiidlip ni natutulog
man maprotektahan lamang sila mula sa pagsalakay ng espiritwal na kaaway.
c. Ang
atin lamang bahagi ay ilagak ang ating pagtitiwala sa Panginoon sapagkat Siya
ang ating Tagapagtanggol sa oras ng panganib sa buhay.
“Tumigil kayo, at tingnan ninyo
ang pagliligtas ng Panginoon”
Þ Naranasan rin ni Pablo ang magkaroon ng
panganib sa buhay.
Þ Naranasan ng iglesya ng Jerusalem ang ganung
klaseng panganib sa kamay ng mga di-mananampalataya.
ACTS 5:17-29 “Then the
high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, ( which is the sect of
the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
Acts 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common
prison.
Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and
brought them forth, and said,
Acts 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this
life.
Acts 5:21 And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early in the
morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and
called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and
sent to the prison to have them brought.
Acts 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they
returned, and told,
Acts 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the
keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no
man within.
Acts 5:24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief
priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
Acts 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in
prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Acts 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without
violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
Acts 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council:
and the high priest asked them,
Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in
this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend
to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to
obey God rather than men.”
2. “STAND STILL” MEANS THAT
WHEN FACING SOME TROUBLE AND TRIBULATIONS IN LIFE, GOD WILL HELP YOU
(Ang ibig sabihin ng pagtindig
ay kapag nakaharap ng kaguluhan at pagdurusa sa buhay, nangako ang Diyos na
tutulong)
2CORINTHIANS 1:8-10 “For we would
not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that
we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even
of life:
2Cor 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not
trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we
trust that he will yet deliver [us];”
a. Ang
kaguluhan sa buhay ay isang normal na karanasan sa pang-araw-araw na buhay
subalit pinapayagan ng Diyos ang ganitong kaguluhan upang ating ilagak ang
ating pagtitiwala sa Kanya at hindi sa ating sarili.
2CORINTHIANS 1:9 “But we had the
sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in
God which raiseth the dead:”
b. Nangako
ang Diyos na tutulong sa tatlong kapanahon: sa nakaraang kaguluhan, sa
kasalukuyang kaguluhan o kaya sa darating pang mga kaguluhan sa buhay.
Handang-handa ang Diyos na tumulong sa atin sapagkat ito ay pangako Niya sa
atin at hindi Siya sinungaling sa Kanyang pangako.
TITUS 1:2 “In hope
of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
EXODUS 14:13 “And
Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of
the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen
to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”
3. “STAND STILL” MEANS THAT
WHEN FACING TRIALS IN LIFE, GOD WILL PROMOTE YOU TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY
(Ang ibig sabihin ng pagtindig
ay kapag nakaharap ng pagsubok sa buhay, iaangat tayo ng Diyos sa mas
espiritwal na kalagayan)
1PETER 1:7 “That the trial
of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it
be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:”
a. Ang
pagpaparusa ng Panginoon sa Kanyang mga anak at pagbibigay ng pagsubok ay
parehas lang ng paraan. Makakaranas ng pagsubok at kahirapan sa buhay.
Þ Ang parusa ay para sawayin ang mga
Kristiyano.
HEBREWS 12:6-7 “For whom
the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what
son is he whom the father chasteneth not?”
Þ Ang pagsubok ay para patatagin espirtiwal ang
Kristiyano.
b. Ang
bayan ng Diyos sa pangunguna ni Moises ay nakaranas ng mahigpit na pagsubok ng
pananampalataya sa pagharap sa panganib at pagpapahirap sa kamay ni Faraon
subalit sila ay pinatatag ng Panginoon pagkatapos nilang sumunod sa kanilang
pinuno na si Moises.
EXODUS 14:29-31 “But the
children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the
waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Ex 14:30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
Ex 14:31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians:
and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.”
4. “STAND STILL” MEANS THAT
WHEN FACING THE TASK TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION, GOD’S PRESENCE IS ALWAYS
WITH YOU
(Ang ibig sabihin ng pagtindig
ay kapag nakaharap ang pagganap ng dakilang utos, ang presensya ng Diyos ay
palaging naroon)
MATTHEW 28:19-20 “Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.”
a. May
dakilang utos ang Diyos na ibinigay sa kanyang mga anak. Pangako ng Diyos na
Siya ay sasaatin hanggang sa wakas ng mundo.
b. Ipinangako
din ng Diyos ang pagbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa Kanyang iglesya upang maging
epektibo sa pag-aakay ng kaluluwa sa lahat ng paraan.
ACTS 1:8 “But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth.”
c. Ipaglalaban
tayo ng Panginoon hanggang sa katapusan upang masiguro ang pagtatagumpay sa
pag-abot sa sanlibutan sa pamamagitan ng ebanghelyo ni Kristo.
1CORINTHIANS 15:57-58 “But thanks
[be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Cor 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not
in vain in the Lord.”
Pangwakas:
Ang ibig sabihin ng pagtindig
ay ilagak ang ating pananampalataya sa Diyos sa oras ng panganib, pagsubok,
kaguluhan at dakilang gawain sapagkat ipagtatanggol Niya tayo.
EXODUS 14:13-14 “And Moses said
unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day,
ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Ex 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
