- Ps. William Calvez Theme: Walang Imposible The Rich and the Kingdom of God A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]” “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said. When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” - Luke 18:18-27 (NIV) Two Things that Hinder Man to Salvation: #1 His Good Works + For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) #2 His Treasures + Greatest hinder for a man to enter the heaven. + Susubukan ka ni Lord kung hanggang saan ka willing sumunod. + Ano ang mas mahalaga sa'yo, si Lord o ang personal desires mo? + The man gave more importance to his treasures more than his soul. + Kayang palitan ni Lord ang pinapagive-up niya sa'yo. #IsukoMoNaYan + He was more concern for himself than other people. + Todo ang utos ni Lord kasi todo din ang bigay niya sa atin. + Pwede ang iniingatan mo ang magpahamak sa'yo. + Impossible? Not with God! +Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” - Luke 18:27 + Kayang gawan ni Lord ng paraan yung mga bagay na nahihirapan ka. + Gagawa siya ng paraan para makasunod ka sa kanya. #WalangImposible + Mangyayari ang kalooban ni Lord sa buhay mo. + Perhaps, God will do something like. . . * Job - (Job 1-2) * Jonah - (Jonah 1:1-15) * Nebuchadnezzar - (Daniel 4:29-37) + Ikaw: "Sige na Lord, susunod na ako sa'yo." + Ang mga ayaw sumunod, nagdadahilan. + Kung gusto ka ni Lord gamitin sa kanyang kaharian, kailangan walang hadlang o sagabal ang paglapit sa kanya. + At kung sinasabi mo maraming hadlang sa paglapit mo kay Lord, kaya niyang tanggalin ang mga iyan.
