MAKING
CHRIST TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN OUR LIFE
(Ginagawa si Kristo na
pinakamahalagang tao sa ating buhay)
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
PHILIPPIANS 1:21 “For to me to
live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.”
Panimula:
a. Magandang
huwaran si Pablo sa pagpapakita nang lubos na pagpapahalaga sa kanyang buhay
bilang Kristiyano. Ang pinakamahalagang persona sa kanyang buhay maging sa
pinakahuling hininga ng kanyang buhay ay si Kristo.
PHILIPPIANS 1:21 ““For to me
to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.”
b. Mula
sa patotoo ng kaligtasan ng kanyang kaluluwa hanggang sa tagumpay ng kanyang
paglilingkod ay nakatuon at nakasentro kay Kristo.
1TIMOTHY 1:15 “This [is]
a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
1CORINTHIANS 15:57 “But thanks
[be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Apat (4) na mahahalagang bagay
patungkol sa araling ito:
1. BY LIVING WITH
CHRIST ON A DAILY BASIS OF LIFE
(Sa pamamagitan ng pamumuhay
kasama ni Kristo sa pang-araw-araw na batayan ng buhay)
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me.”
a. Nagbigay
sa atin ng halimbawa ang Panginoong Hesus sa mga Kristiyano kung papaano
mamuhay ng nakakalugod sa Diyos.
1PETER 2:21 “For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps:”
b. Hinimok
ni Pablo ang mg Kristiyano na sumunod kay Kristo kagaya niya bilang isang buhay
na patotoo.
PHILIPPIANS 3:17 “Brethren, be
followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample.”
c. May
pangako ng pagtatagumpay sa pag-iwas sa pagkakasala ang pamumuhay na kasama si
Kristo.
1PETER 2:21-22 “For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:”
2. BY LEARNING FROM CHRIST
ON A DAILY BASIS OF LIFE
(Sa pamamagitan ng pagkatuto
mula kay Cristo sa pang-araw-araw na batayan ng buhay)
EPHESIANS 4:20-25 “But ye have
not so learned Christ;
Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the
truth is in Jesus:
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his
neighbour: for we are members one of another.”
TITUS 1:2 “In hope of
eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
a. Ang
bawat araw ay pagkakataon upang tayo ay matuto kay Kristo ng marami pang
espiritwal na bagay. Ito ang hamon ni Pablo sa mga taga-Efeso.
b. Mga
mahahalagang bagay na maaaring matutunan kay Kristo:
Þ Matututunan nating iwanan ang
nakaraang pamumuhay sa laman, ang dati nating pagkatao.
EPHESIANS 4:22 “That ye
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;”
Þ Matututunan nating baguhin ang
espiritu ng ating pag-iisip.
EPHESIANS 4:23 “And be
renewed in the spirit of your mind;”
Þ Matututunan nating bihisan ng
bagong pagkatao ang ating sarili nang naaayon sa kalooban ng Diyos.
EPHESIANS 4:24 “And that
ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness.”
3. BY LOOKING UP TO
CHRIST ON A DAILY BASIS OF LIFE
(Sa pamamagitan ng pagtingin
kay Kristo sa pang-araw-araw na batayan ng buhay)
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.
a. Laging
humaharap ang Kristiyano sa iba’t-ibang mabibigat na pagsubok at kahirapan sa
araw-araw na buhay. Kailangan lang nating tumingin kay Kristo na Siyang
gumagawa at sumasakdal sa ating pananampalataya.
Þ Sa panahon na may mabigat na
pagsubok, tumingin tayo paitaas kay Kristo.
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:”
Þ Sa panahon na may mabigat na
problema na halos mawalan na ng pag-asa sa buhay, kailangan lang natin tumingin
paitaas kay Kristo.
2CORINTHIANS 1:4-10 “Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Cor 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also
aboundeth by Christ.
2Cor 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and
salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we
also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.
2Cor 1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers
of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
2Cor 1:8 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];”
Þ Sa panahon na may mabigat na
pag-uusig mula sa ating kaaway at sa sanlibutan, kailangan lang natin tumingin paitaas
at hingin ang saklolo ni Kristo.
ACTS 12:5 “Peter
therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church
unto God for him.”
4. BY LONGING FOR CHRIST
ON A DAILY BASIS OF LIFE
(Sa pamamagitan ng pananabik
kay Kristo sa pang-araw-araw na batayan ng buhay)
PHILIPPIANS 3:7-8 “But what
things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of
the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,”
a. Patotoo
ni Pablo na handa niyang ibigay ang lahat ng mahahalagang bagay sa buhay niya
dahil kay Kristo.
b. Ganito
ipinakita ni Pablo na kung gaano niya kailangan si Kristo sa kanyang buhay.
c. Alam
ni Pablo na ang naging susi ng kanyang pagbabago ay dahil kay Kristo.
2CORINTHIANS 5:17 “Therefore if
any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.”
Pangwakas:
Si Kristo ang pinakamahalagang
persona sa ating buhay sapagkat inibig Niya tayo at ibinigay ang Kanyang buhay
sa atin.
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me.”
Pagpalain kayong lahat ng
Diyos.
