REST WITH THE TRUTH
September 17, 2019
“Then Jesus said, “Come to Me all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” - Matthew 11:28
“Hello po, Kamusta po ba tayo? “Okay pa din ba?” “Lumalaban pa din ba? o “Napagod na?” Alam niyo po ang sabi sa Exodus 3:7; “Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering.” “God hears your cries..”
“God sees where you are right now..”
“God sees your situation..”
“Alam ni Lord na napapagod ka na..” “Alam din ni Lord na medyo nag dodoubt ka na..” “He is all aware of it..” “He is aware of your sufferings..”
But you know what..
He still believes in you kahit ikaw nag dodoubt na..
“Alam niyo po, hindi mo naman kailangang tumigil para magpahinga sa labas..” “Kasi wala naman dun yung purpose mo..” Alam niyo po, ang sabi dito sa verse: “...and I will give you rest” - Matthew 11:28 “Ako mismo” “Si Lord mismo” Alam niyo po, baka siguro tayo napapagod ngayon at sinusubukang hanapin yung saya sa labas kasi ang katotohanan.. “hindi talaga tayo masaya kay Lord..” “Pampalipas oras lang natin Siya..” “Kaya mas naghahanap pa tayo ng saya sa ibang bagay..” God doesn’t wants to be burned out. In fact, He wanted us to be empowered! “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” - Romans 12:11
“baka siguro tayo napapagod ngayon kasi we are serving God without joy”
“If you do not serve the Lord your God with joy and enthusiasm for the abundant benefits that you have received, you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you..” - Deuteronomy 28:47-48a “O di kaya nananakawan tayo ng kaaway..” “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” - John 10:10 pero alam niyo po, ang title natin for today’s topic ay: “REST WITH THE TRUTH” “Rest with the Truth that you are not alone..” “Rest with the Truth na orchestrated ni Lord ang lahat ng bagay..” “Rest with the Truth na yung Lord na pinaglilingkuran mo ay hindi peke, kundi yung Katotohanan mismo..”
“Rest with the Truth na hindi lang basta imahinasyon ang lahat ng ‘to, pero eto mismo yung tunay na buhay..”
and the last but not the least..
“Rest with the Truth that Jesus is this Truth”
“I am the way, the truth and the life” - John 14:6
