[H] [PREACHING LESSON 16:] 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.
