Mat 28”19 – 20
Theme: THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK
Intro.
Noong September 12-1962 si President John F. Kennedy nag-declare sa United States na
mag Padala ng rocket sa buwan. Nang sabihin niya ang mga salitang ito, ang ilan sa mga
lutuang metal na kailangan para makagawa ng rocket ay hindi pa naimbento. (had not
been invented.) Ito ay mukhang imposible mangyari.
But on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon and gave his famous line,
“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Yung Nakagawa ka ng isang
bagay na hindi pa nagawa kailanman, at dahil dito naging legacy. Ang pag-abot sa isang
mundong pinahihirapan ng mga digmaan, kahirapan, at gutom ay isang nakakatakot na
gawain. The world is open for business 24 hours a day, yet 24 percent of the world lives on
less than a dollar a day. More than 32 percent of the gross world product is related to the
“structures of sin” (Money laundering, gambling, organized crime, drug trafficking,
pornography, sex trade). But Islam is challenging Christianity at every turn.

To reach a world that is spinning out of control, we must be committed to the

task of introducing the gospel to all people who have never heard. How can we
accomplish what sometimes feels impossible?

I. See with the eyes of faith

A. A person with faith in God always has a positive outlook.
Ayon sa Num 13:30 At pinatahimik ni Caleb ang bayan sa harapan ni Moises,
at sinabi, Ating akyating paminsan, at ating ariin; sapagka't kaya
nating lupigin. Ang tugon ng sampong spie na mga kasama….sa
verse 31 Nguni't sinabi ng mga lalaking nagsiakyat na kasama niya, Hindi
tayo makaaakyat laban sa bayan; sapagka't sila'y malakas kay sa
atin. Sina Caleb at Joshua ay hindi kagaya ng 10 spies kapag-magisip. Alam
nilaa na kaya nilang lupigin ang Caanan. Ang iba nakikita ay ang mga
magagandang ubasan at kagandahan ng lupain, ngunit ang iba ang nakikita
nila ay ang mga giant at pagkatalo.
Ngunit kung mayrong pananampalataya, ay hindi impossible ang lahat. Heb
11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen. Kayang kaya nating gumawa ng isang bagay na
kagilagilalas dahil ang pananampalatayang ito ay buhay at mabisa na
kumikilos sa ating mga buhay.
B. We need to live by faith so, we can do the things the Lord asks us to
do.
Ito ang reminder ni Isaiah 43:10 “You are witnesses,” declares the Lord,
and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me
and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, nor will there
be one after Me.” Kung magtiwala lamang tayo ng lubusan sa Diyos, kahit
mahirap, kayangkayang gawin ang imposible task. Sapagka’t walang
imposible sa Diyos. Luk 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible
with men are possible with God. Walang mahirap sa Diyos na hindi kayang
gawin.

II. Touch with the heart of compassion.

Lumakad si Jesus at namuhay sa parehong uri ng ating mundo. Ano ang ginawa ni
Hesus? Yung may ketong ay kinahabagan ni Jesus, at pinagaling. Mar 1:40 At
 lumapit sa kaniya ang isang ketongin, na namamanhik sa kaniya, at nanikluhod
sa kaniya, at sa kaniya'y nagsasabi, Kung ibig mo, ay maaaring malinis mo
ako. 41 At sa pagkaawa ay iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay, at siya'y hinipo, at
sinabi sa kaniya, Ibig ko; luminis ka. 42 At pagdaka'y nawalan siya ng
ketong, at siya'y nalinis. Dahil gumaling ang may sakit, hindi n’ya napigil ang
kanyang sarili na mag testify about Jesus.
A. He was filled with compassion.
1. First, He turned to see the leper.
2. Secondly, he listened to the leper.
3. Thirdly, He was willing touch the leper. The Greek word for compassion is
derived from the word for intestine, suggesting His stomach went into a
knot when He saw the leper. Pag walang pagsusumidhi, walang passion.
Mat 12:7 Datapuwa't kung nalalaman ninyo kung ano ang kahulugan
nito, Habag ang ibig ko, at hindi hain, ay hindi sana ninyo hinatulan ang
mga walang kasalanan.
B. We must do what Jesus did. Compassion is about helping people become
who they were always meant to be: Minahal ng Diyos ang taong may ketong
ngunit binago siya ni Hesus. Ang mga taong makasalanan ay minahal ng
Panginoon, kaya nga lang hindi sila mababago kung hindi tayo kumilos upang
sila ay akayin sa Panginoon. Isa 6:8 At narinig ko ang tinig ng Panginoon, na
nagsasabi, Sinong susuguin ko, at sinong yayaon sa ganang amin? Nang
magkagayo'y sinabi ko: Narito ako; suguin mo ako.
C. Jesus touched a leper who was considered an outcast and broke the
Jewish law to exhibit compassion. Because of his gracious mercy, many of
the Jews were angry with Him. If we follow His example, we will be committed
to taking a risk to exhibit compassion.

III. Never quit even when it looks impossible

Ang pariralang ito, "Never quit even when it looks impossible," emphasizes
the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.”
Ibigsabihin nito na ang pagsuko ay hindi dapat maging isang opsyon,
kahit na nahaharap sa hindi malulutas na mga hamon, tandaan ang tagumpay ay
kadalasan nasa likod lamang ng punto kung saan ang iba ay sumusuko na.
Kagaya ng mga unang believer na hindi sumuko kahit tinurture dahil kay Cristo.
A. We can do all things with truth and not just with words.
Charles Spurgeon once said, “One man says, ‘I will do as much as I can.’
Bawat isa maari nating sabihin ito. But he that believes in Christ does what he
cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.”
B. We cannot stop because one day we will meet the One who never stops - He is
Jesus Christ...Ang paglilingkod ay walang retirement.
C. Jesus continues to call people to fulfill His Great Commission.
1. Some are called to pray.
2. Some are called to preach.
3. Some are called to pay.

CONCLUSION
God will not ask you to give what you do not have, but He will frequently ask you to
give what you would like to keep. You do what is possible, and God will do what is
impossible. Sinasabi man natin na hindi kayanin, pero pagkasama mo ang
Panginoon, kayang kaya ang lahat.
