Panimula:
a.
Kahit nais ng mga tao na maging masaya,
madalas ay hindi pa rin nangyayari. Paano nangyari? Paano mo malalaman na nais
ng Diyos na tayo ay magiging masaya?
b.
Ano ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng
kaligayahang ibinibigay ng Diyos at ng kaligayahang hinahanap ng karamihan sa
mga tao sa mundo.
c.
Ang Sermon sa Bundok ay nagsimula sa
ilang mga taludtod na kilala bilang ang “Beatitudes” ng mga Kristiyano.
Beatitudes – means happiness, bliss, blissfulness, felicity, gladness, joy;
n Ang kahulugan ng “blessed” ay
masaya.
n Ayon sa salitang Griyego na makario,
ito ay ginagamit upang ilarawan ang isang tao na pinapaboran ng Diyos at kung
kaya’t siya ngayon ay masaya.
d.
Ang totoong kaligayahan ay hindi dapat
batay sa mga pangyayari sa ating buhay kundi sa pagpapala o pabor ng Diyos. Sa
Mateo 5:3-12, ipinakita sa atin ng Panginoong Hesus ang mga katangian na
humahantong sa tunay na kaligayahan.
Limang (5)
magagandang bagay tungkol sa pagsisikap na matamo ang kaligayahan sa buhay
Kristiyano:
1. SADNESS THAT
LEADS TO HAPPINESS
(Ang kalungkutan na humahantong
sa kaligayahan)
MATTHEW 5:3-4 “Blessed
[are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Mt 5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
a.
Ang mapagpakumbabang-loob ay
nangangahulugan na tayo ay mahirap sa katuwiran ng Diyos sapagkat lahat tayo ay
makasalanan sa harap ni Kristo.
Þ Ang malaman na mayroon tayong Kristo sa ating buhay ay katunayan ng mapagpakumbabang-loob.
Hindi tayo konektado sa pamilya ng Diyos at wala tayong pangako sa Diyos,
walang pag-asa at walang Diyos sa mundong ito sabi ng Bibliya sa mga taga Efeso
2:12.
EPHESIANS 2:12 “That at that time ye were without
Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the
covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:”
b.
Ang mapagpakumbabang-loob ay tumutukoy
sa saloobin ng isang tao tungkol sa sarili. Nauunawaan niya ang espiritwal na
kahirapan ng kanyang sariling kaluluwa. Paanong ang isang tao ay
magpapakumbabang-loob upang maligtas?
ISAIAH 64:6 “But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses
[are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like
the wind, have taken us away.”
Þ Nalulungkot tayo sapagkat ating napagtanto na tayo ay makasalanan kaya
kailangan natin si Kristo sa ating buhay upang maligtas at maranasan ang totoong
kaligayahan mula sa Diyos. Paano makatutulong ang pagpapakumbabang-loob ng
isang tao na pahalagahan ang kaligtasan? Paano mo masasabi na ang isang
Kristiyano ay nagpapakumbabang-loob?
2. SUBMISSION
THAT LEADS TO HAPPINESS
(Ang pagpapasakop na humahantong
sa kaligayahan)
MATTHEW 5:5 “Blessed
[are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
a.
Meek – having or showing a quiet and gentle
nature; not wanting to fight or argue with other people.
Þ Ang isang mahusay na salita para sa “meek”
ay pagiging banayad.
b.
Sa Mateo 11:29, sinabi ni Hesus na Siya
ay maamo at mababa ang puso. Paano naging mababa ang loob ni Hesus?
Þ Maraming nagsasabi na ang kaamuan ay kapangyarihan na kontrolado.
MATTHEW 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
c.
Bakit dapat tayong maging masunurin
upang maging maamo?
Þ Ito ang paraan ng Diyos upang maamo nating manahin ang mga pagpapala na
nasa mundong ito.
3. SANCTIFICATION
THAT LEADS TO HAPPINESS
(Ang pagpapakabanal na
humahantong sa kaligayahan)
MATTHEW 5:6, 8
“Blessed
[are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled.
Mt
5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
a.
Sanctification – Ang pagpapakabanal
ay kalooban ng Diyos sa atin.
1THESSALONIANS 4:3 “For this is the will of God, [even] your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:”
Þ Ang salitang “sanctification”
ay nauugnay sa salitang banal. Parehong may kinalaman sa kabanalan.
Þ Ang pakabanalin ang isang bagay ay pagbubukod para sa isang espesyal na
gamit. Ang pagpapasanto sa isang tao ay upang gawin siyang banal.
b.
Ito ang dahilan kung bakit sinisikap ng
mga Kristiyano ang pagpapakabanal sapagkat ang ating Diyos na ating espiritwal
na Ama sa langit ay isang banal na Diyos.
1PETER 1:15-16 “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner
of conversation;
1Pet 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
1Pet 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
Þ Anu-ano ang mga ilang sekular na bagay na pinagkakagutuman at
pinagkakauhawan ng mga tao?
c.
Paano dapat magutom at mauhaw ang isang
Kristiyano sa katuwiran?
Þ Gayunpaman, ang mga anak ng Diyos ay madalas na nabibigo sa pagkagutom
at pagkauhaw sa katuwiran at hindi nakakaranas ng espiritwal na kaligayahan na
nais ng Diyos para sa Kanyang mga anak.
d.
Ito ang paraan upang mapanatili nating
dalisay ang ating puso sa buhay Kristiyano.
EPHESIANS 5:26 “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the
word,”
Þ Pinapanatili ng Salita ng Diyos na dalisay ang Kristiyano sa Kanyang
paningin at samakatuwid, nakakaranas tayo ng espiritwal na kaligayahan mula sa
Diyos.
e.
Ang kaligayahan ay mahusay din na bunga
ng Banal na Espiritu sa buhay ng bawat indibidwal na Kristiyano.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Þ Pinapanatili ng Banal na Espiritu ang ating mga puso na dalisay.
4. SHARING THAT
LEADS TO HAPPINESS
(Ang pagbabahagi na
humahantong sa kaligayahan)
MATTHEW 5:7, 9
“Blessed
[are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mt
5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of
God.”
a.
Ang mga Kristiyano ay maaaring
magbahagi ng awa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahagi ng ebanghelyo ng
Panginoong Hesu-Kristo sa mga makasalanan.
ROMANS 1:15-16 “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to
preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
Þ Ito ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang maipakita ng Kristiyano ang awa
araw-araw.
Þ Bakit dapat tayong maging maawain sa lahat ng mga makasalanan? Sapagkat
kung namatay sila nang wala si Kristo sa kanilang buhay, sila ay hahatulan at
pupunta sa impiyerno magpakailanman.
JOHN 3:18, 36 “He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
b.
Dapat magkaroon ang iglesya ng isang
mahabaging puso at isang tagapamayapa sa kanilang pamayanan upang matiyak na
maabot ang mas marami pang tao. Ang Jerusalem ay isang mabuting halimbawa para
dito.
ACTS 2:41, 47 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day
there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be
saved.”
Þ Dapat tayong maging tagapamayapa sa ating pamayanan bilang ilaw at asin
sa mundo.
MATTHEW
5:13-14 “Ye
are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and
to be trodden under foot of men.
Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
Þ
Tumutulong ang tagapamayapa sa paggawa
ng kapayapaan sa pagitan ng Diyos at ng tao.
Þ
Paano tinutulungan ng isang
tagapamayapa ang kapayapaan sa pagitan ng Diyos at ng tao?
5. SUFFERING
THAT LEADS TO HAPPINESS
(Ang paghihirap na humahantong sa kaligayahan)
MATTHEW 5:10-12
“Blessed
[are] they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mt 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
Mt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mt 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
a.
Palaging nagpapaalala ang Panginoon sa
Kanyang mga alagad na kinasusuklaman Siya ng mundo. Tayong mga Kristiyano ay
kinapopootan din at inuusig ng mundo.
JOHN 17:14 “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
Þ Bakit inuusig ng ibang tao ang matutuwid? Ipinangako ni Hesus ang
pag-uusig.
Þ Sa palagay mo bakit ang pag-uusig ay bahagi ng Kristiyanismo?
JOHN 15:20 “Remember the word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
b.
Bakit isang pagpapala kapag inuusig? Ano
ang nabibigyang lakas at pag-asa kapag nagtitiis ng pag-uusig?
c.
Sa malaking pagsubok at pagdurusa,
bilang Kristiyano, ito ang ating pagkakataong magbigay ng kaluwalhatian at
papuri sa ating Diyos.
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:”
Pangwakas:
Mga Kristiyano, ipagpatuloy natin ang pagiging
espiritwal sapagkat laging posible na maging masaya kahit sa ating
pagdadalamhati lalo na sa kaamuan sa oras ng matinding pagdurusa na kinakaharap
natin sa buhay na Kristiyano sabi ng Bibliya.
1PETER 4:14-15 “If ye be reproached for the name of
Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on
their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Pet 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”
1Pet 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”
Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
