Speaker 1: Welcome. Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily doseph
Speaker 1: inspiring from heartfelt taglelog sermons from different pastors and speakers
Speaker 1: all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds
Speaker 1: you in good shape. And now here's your message.
Speaker 2: You were listening to a message from Victory. We hope
Speaker 2: it inspires you to honor God and make disciples in
Speaker 2: your community.
Speaker 3: Last chapter of the Book of John, which is the Gospel.
Speaker 3: What a way to end the gospel with this story.
Speaker 3: If you're really familiar about the encounter of Peter with
Speaker 3: our Lord Jesus Christ. After here, before he ascended to
Speaker 3: the heaven to the Father, he really had a.
Speaker 1: Divine encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: So Peter was one of the most controversial, if not
Speaker 3: the most popular disciple of all time.
Speaker 1: It might be for some reasons, might be popular for pop.
Speaker 3: So maybe Peter is both okay, because of his uh, flamboyant,
Speaker 3: fragile personality. You know, Peter was what's called really his
Speaker 3: name is Simon, which is a wish.
Speaker 1: He was a pebbulous stone, okay, So, but he was
Speaker 1: renamed Peter.
Speaker 3: Like some other people who are here. You were named
Speaker 3: by your parents, no, without any choice. Your name as Stilo,
Speaker 3: I'm Estelito by birth. I cannot do anything, but I
Speaker 3: need to make my nickname a little cute Tito.
Speaker 1: Okay and la Right.
Speaker 3: So some of you may be Provopio okay, Anastacio a
Speaker 3: lot Bonifacio.
Speaker 1: But you know names are names, okay, and names are.
Speaker 3: Symbols of who we are and God is in sovereign power.
Speaker 3: We name Simon to become Peter, which means table, strong
Speaker 3: in stature and in posture. But when we read the
Speaker 3: Peter in the Bible, it's not the case. We can
Speaker 3: see Peter is different. But what matters most is how
Speaker 3: God sees us.
Speaker 1: You know that that God sees us.
Speaker 3: Differently in how we see ourselves. That's why when you
Speaker 3: fish the mirror every day, you can see a person
Speaker 3: that is not typical of what we want to be right.
Speaker 1: We want to be kindly different in everything that we do.
Speaker 3: Peter's life is a classic example of what we have
Speaker 3: a trading disciple but always fails. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: people nowadays want to follow the Lord, but they felt
Speaker 3: like they're a failure. They become unfaithful to the calling
Speaker 3: of God in their own life. Let's look into some
Speaker 3: of the highlights of Peter's life during the time he
Speaker 3: was here.
Speaker 1: So Peter's impulsive highlight. First, he stated that he would
Speaker 1: never deny knowing Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yet before the next morning he had denied him three times.
Speaker 3: Lord Digita, they deny it chatter, and then the following
Speaker 3: morning three times they deny naphil cream denially. Peter Becausino
Speaker 3: Nasa us embassy fifteen years ago, I was denied four
Speaker 3: times okay, deny within a five hundred US visa maha
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty dollars okay. So he was also
Speaker 3: one who would basically step out of the boat walk
Speaker 3: on the water towards Jesus. Then he realized his faith
Speaker 3: wasn't as great as he thought, and he started to
Speaker 3: sing trabno the impulsiveness of Peter to do things on
Speaker 3: a mazmabilisi maxalitak is a magisia okat okay okay.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus started to reveal that he was going to
Speaker 1: be killed.
Speaker 3: Peter rebuked him and said that would never be done
Speaker 3: to you, Jesus, And the Lord says, get thee behind me,
Speaker 3: satan okay mission not ten times a bin you know,
Speaker 3: Samarai biganating a man tribe nothing, get this behind met him.
Speaker 3: And that's what real day, the real score of Jesus
Speaker 3: seeing Peter to be an hindrance to the general plan
Speaker 3: of God for salvation. And another instance, and when Jesus
Speaker 3: was arrested in just semone in the guard and Peter
Speaker 3: drove his sword and cut off the ear of the
Speaker 3: high priests sleeve tangal you know, know, but you know
Speaker 3: what the target is not the ear, is the neck mail.
Speaker 3: He could be a murderer at that time. And when
Speaker 3: John and Peter came to the empty Tooman Easter morning,
Speaker 3: John respectfully stood at the doorway, but not Peter.
Speaker 1: He was rushed in and saw he situated. Then he
Speaker 1: ran home.
Speaker 3: Terrified. Patty nothing, because Peter is a pet It was petrified.
Speaker 3: So Peter is the most likely person that we would
Speaker 3: ever love. Comerica Peter A Moyan he and friend Usa
Speaker 3: Facebook and like Moyan Iomusa. Okay, there are some people
Speaker 3: we love and the people we don't like, but it's okay.
Speaker 3: We have the right to like people and love people
Speaker 3: as well. So with all this scenario and condition that
Speaker 3: Peter had in his life as a growing disciple, he
Speaker 3: felt the heaviness of being a failure.
Speaker 1: Have you ever felt a failure in your life? Have
Speaker 1: you ever felt that?
Speaker 3: You know Molana Pagassa, I stop, I quit, I will
Speaker 3: never never walk this way again. I'll stop whatever I do,
Speaker 3: I do what is right before my eyes. Peter had
Speaker 3: that kind of sense of failure. When a person had
Speaker 3: a sense of failure, they experience these things.
Speaker 1: First. They were discouraged, a difficulty to move on, diminished.
Speaker 3: They felt so weak. They don't want to wake up
Speaker 3: in the morning. They always want to sleep all day long.
Speaker 3: Ban tao okay, while and texts everything his drug. He's
Speaker 3: then motivated, inspired, uninspired, very slow, static. He wants to
Speaker 3: be alone, isolated people, and that is depressed, very sad, somber,
Speaker 3: sense of laws and security. I make psychologists by professional
Speaker 3: and pastor our counselor many of my I call the
Speaker 3: clients are suffering from depression, and mind you, if there
Speaker 3: is a hospital for emotionally unhealthy people, it would be
Speaker 3: pulled back.
Speaker 1: They're a lot.
Speaker 3: Even in the stage when you go to the States,
Speaker 3: antidepressent drug are just over the counter.
Speaker 1: It's like bio Jessic.
Speaker 3: It's like diatabs okay, and everything that you can buy
Speaker 3: overhound without the receipt because it's common.
Speaker 1: But depression is very dangerous and we can see that
Speaker 1: in the life of.
Speaker 3: Judas who hung himself. He cannot take it because of
Speaker 3: his failure. Our sense of failure and guilt are hurtful experiences.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 3: We don't want to undergo these things. And how many
Speaker 3: of us here can relate what I'm saying right now? Okay,
Speaker 3: it's hard. It is easier said than done. Madalign modali
Speaker 3: la sabina Okay, is hard because in the eco you
Speaker 3: make a tawanah sometimes people you know, that's very senseless.
Speaker 1: Okay, why are you suffering this time? Etcetera. But you
Speaker 1: know this is not who you are and this is
Speaker 1: not the person you're talking to.
Speaker 3: But God and his grace enables us to recover and
Speaker 3: enables us to move towards what God wants us to have.
Speaker 1: In this story.
Speaker 3: In Johan twenty one, it depicts upon the life of Peter,
Speaker 3: the disciple, who loved Jesus so much, but his love
Speaker 3: cannot decontained to his actions and faithfulness in following the Lord.
Speaker 1: Like any other disciples like us. We love the Lord
Speaker 1: so much, she need to well.
Speaker 3: Okay, and maybe ten or twenty times a week is
Speaker 3: what Peter is experiencing during those times. So our mandate
Speaker 3: really is to follow Jesus. And John twenty one gave
Speaker 3: us a classic illustration of what the son we should
Speaker 3: learn as a disciple. What are the three lessons that
Speaker 3: Peter really realized and encountered while with Jesus. Number one,
Speaker 3: we need to follow Jesus with humility. Simon Peter said
Speaker 3: to them, I'm going for fishing. They said to him,
Speaker 3: we will go with you. They went out, got into
Speaker 3: the boat, but the night came they caught nothing. Just
Speaker 3: as they were breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet
Speaker 3: the disciple did know that it was Jesus. Jesu said
Speaker 3: to them, children, do you have any fish? They answered no.
Speaker 3: He said to them, cast your net on the right
Speaker 3: side of the boat and you will find some. So
Speaker 3: they cast it, and now they were.
Speaker 1: Not able to haul it because of the quantity of fish.
Speaker 3: In fact, the number of fish that they caught was
Speaker 3: one hundred fifty six, and the Bible typically say it's
Speaker 3: large fish.
Speaker 1: Large kay lapu lapu.
Speaker 3: No Hindi Dili is Hindi toyo and akuhanela large and
Speaker 3: the miracle is Hindi napun net. It's only because Jesus
Speaker 3: wants to make a statement because during that time magolion Niepeter,
Speaker 3: he said, I'm going out fishing. He's saying something Tapusna
Speaker 3: one chapter Napagagan disciple.
Speaker 1: Call, I'll go back to where I belong. I went
Speaker 1: to do it my way, not the Lord's way.
Speaker 3: You always do it your way, right, my way, and
Speaker 3: Mamma Tatao.
Speaker 1: Okay, my way.
Speaker 3: You always want to do it your way, and she
Speaker 3: just said, no, it's not your way, it's my way.
Speaker 3: You see, you spend all night long. You said you're
Speaker 3: an expert fisherman, and you got Tidi my master fishermen
Speaker 3: said he's a master fisher and all night long. And
Speaker 3: it's un characteristic for fishermen to throw their nets to
Speaker 3: the right side, because that norm is that you always
Speaker 3: throw your net to the web side.
Speaker 1: You see, Sidney Peter. But man, k we're expert fishermen. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're as a carpenter.
Speaker 3: Have in it coming to run into but to their
Speaker 3: shame and never realizing Peter.
Speaker 1: Now, Jesus Christ not just a master carpenter. He's the
Speaker 1: lord of all creation.
Speaker 3: He can dictate all the fish to go everything to
Speaker 3: the right rather than to the left, and take a
Speaker 3: hold on fifty six toma. But that's the only thing,
Speaker 3: the maximum number.
Speaker 1: Of fish that they can hold. What are we trying
Speaker 1: to say here?
Speaker 3: Jesus is teaching great humility to Peter the disciple. He's saying, Lord,
Speaker 3: I can do something for myself. Maybe I can be
Speaker 3: okay here, kume or respect as are really Lord is
Speaker 3: a professional pigan fishermen.
Speaker 1: And it's like what we are right. If we do
Speaker 1: something we fail, we do and come back and do
Speaker 1: something that we're used to do. And there's a high
Speaker 1: degree for us to be successful.
Speaker 3: Kay Lord babayanganyan connectionan popular compromises many and God is
Speaker 3: teaching us something on humility. Whenever will fail, all that
Speaker 3: it's better to fail than fail to follow. Right, it's
Speaker 3: always for us where we fail, it's okay, because no
Speaker 3: one really becomes successful without failing. But what God wants
Speaker 3: us to have is to humble ourselves before him. Whoever
Speaker 3: humbled himself shall be lifted up. God will always want
Speaker 3: us to be humble servants of the Lord.
Speaker 1: It's no amount of.
Speaker 3: Smartness, the amount of intelligence is no amount of discarded
Speaker 3: for what they are.
Speaker 1: That brings about success in life.
Speaker 3: If you're a Christian, you yield upon the power and
Speaker 3: the success that God once we have. We need to
Speaker 3: have that kind of habitual dependence on God. Habit means
Speaker 3: you always do it every day, you always keep you
Speaker 3: remind yourself. I need to be humble because you know
Speaker 3: what the reality is. La taile my album, my abam
Speaker 3: let to ourselves, myabum tail Magao mayaban Taile. Why because
Speaker 3: that's part of sinful nature. Christian Kela, you learn to
Speaker 3: be humble. I still have a picture of my student
Speaker 3: life thirty six years ago, this tech heart travel in
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties. Okay, Panama ni di babel to make it
Speaker 3: mahijuan baba Okay. I have that picture in my death
Speaker 3: in my ofice table because it always reminds me of
Speaker 3: my humble beginnings. I always think about Mysego during that
Speaker 3: time thirty years ago when I was student. I was
Speaker 3: seventeen years old, then at USD taking up a BS
Speaker 3: pharmacy Well Galia Galiza chemistry no, then chemistry one, okay, napilitan.
Speaker 1: Pharmacy.
Speaker 3: But whenever I look at it, I always learned humbling
Speaker 3: moments are I know where I began. I only preached
Speaker 3: to a bunch of ten twelve students in a ten
Speaker 3: square meter boarding house in the Pitan.
Speaker 1: And this is reminded me. I need to humble myself
Speaker 1: before before God.
Speaker 3: No matter where we are, what we are, Miyama gonna
Speaker 3: go Anakaparin and jos Hindikai get taken in. And this
Speaker 3: is what God is telling Peter, and this is what
Speaker 3: God is telling all of us, that we can never
Speaker 3: never outdo God, and we can never never be proud of.
Speaker 1: Who we are.
Speaker 3: The more we try to force ourselves improve something to ourselves,
Speaker 3: the more.
Speaker 1: Well God will humble us.
Speaker 3: But the more you humble yourself, God will leave you up.
Speaker 3: That's why John says, God, Jesus, let you increase and
Speaker 3: I decrease. Number two second lesson that Peter understood in
Speaker 3: his life Jesus was you need to follow Jesus with integrity.
Speaker 3: Integrity is making your word become one with your action
Speaker 3: and your attitude.
Speaker 1: We can say one thing and do another thing. Remember
Speaker 1: this word.
Speaker 3: When Jesus asked Peter three times, do you love me
Speaker 3: more than this para word no, That is an opportunity
Speaker 3: for Peter to validate his love for Jesus. What Jesus
Speaker 3: is saying right now to Peter's that words are cheap
Speaker 3: ama salita, cheap maram, samatatas nasalita, phosa inde namatamala the India.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what God is saying to Peter.
Speaker 3: You know, if you love me, feed my sheep, feed
Speaker 3: my lamp. Okay, it's not about what you say, is
Speaker 3: what you do right as a faithful disciple of the Lord.
Speaker 3: What God wants us to have is the integrity of
Speaker 3: words and into action. We need to walk the talk.
Speaker 3: We can say I love you, and yet we're cheating.
Speaker 3: We can say I love you, but we're lying and
Speaker 3: deceiving people.
Speaker 1: Words are not enough.
Speaker 3: Jesus said to Peter, I know you love me so much,
Speaker 3: but you need to learn to love put that love
Speaker 3: into action by showing your love for me.
Speaker 1: In fact, Peter eluded death when he escaped capture.
Speaker 3: That's what he's saying, panindigano, panindigristi, pandian. Especially when we're
Speaker 3: attempted as Christians to prove who we are. It's a
Speaker 3: practical life. Nothing pact fine and bi r tamba nothing
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Do not do we treat people fairly and squarely? Do
Speaker 1: we pay the right thing to do?
Speaker 3: Are we faithful in every little things that we do?
Speaker 3: But God is trying to say to us as disciples
Speaker 3: that we need to we need to be faith on
Speaker 3: what we're saying.
Speaker 1: What Peter is saying to God, to Jesus that Lord,
Speaker 1: I cannot have the love that you have for me.
Speaker 1: The agapi love is for God and I can show
Speaker 1: it Flo. It's fine.
Speaker 3: God doesn't expect us to show the love the kind
Speaker 3: of love that Jesus did for us.
Speaker 1: It's hard. But being faithful in loving our brothers and sisters.
Speaker 3: Just like what she said, here, feed my sheep, ten
Speaker 3: my land means continue to do what I'm doing to
Speaker 3: the people around us. Don't escape the reality. Don't escape
Speaker 3: being a disciple. That's how it is to be a
Speaker 3: disciple of the Lord. No matter what God's love is
Speaker 3: always burning in our soul.
Speaker 1: The experience.
Speaker 3: There are times when you feel down, but you can
Speaker 3: still feel the love of the Lord. You can still
Speaker 3: feel the unconditional love of God. Lord the camelina Monaco,
Speaker 3: don't go mada man the Lord will not time reddingess
Speaker 3: and what the Lord. Continue to move, my son, moving
Speaker 3: the way that I want you to be. Continue to
Speaker 3: be faithful in my word. Continue to love the way
Speaker 3: I love you the most.
Speaker 1: But Peter, with his.
Speaker 3: Distorted mindset, think about his profession's pride.
Speaker 1: It's prestige.
Speaker 3: Right when people fail, they always think what would other
Speaker 3: people say? Andila an ala al gani tobacco so masado
Speaker 3: time in cross image nat and.
Speaker 1: Asabin the Lord it called Peter not not failed.
Speaker 3: Workups, moved, but follow as a cross a. I'm with
Speaker 3: two thieves and no reputations in a sabim A, I'm
Speaker 3: the lord of war and the king of kings. I
Speaker 3: don't have that reputation. I was crucified with two.
Speaker 1: Thieves and handed down.
Speaker 3: Daikund reputations in Sabbim and Peter said, really hard for
Speaker 3: me to say, I love you.
Speaker 1: Bibleba. Peter was grieved because he was asked for the
Speaker 1: third time say said dumb damn Lord, Lord and mctamp para,
Speaker 1: it's imaginable for us to really think about such thing.
Speaker 1: And with this God wants to teach.
Speaker 3: Us as disciples and many people whom we are discipling
Speaker 3: with to have that kind of attitude in life, you
Speaker 3: will never grow.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I've been a Christian for three decades now, and I
Speaker 3: think there's no secret in discipleship. The only thing that
Speaker 3: we can continue to do discipleship and be a disciple
Speaker 3: is one thing.
Speaker 1: Obey the Lord, follow him, Follow God. That's all.
Speaker 3: We had no one to emulate and be like than
Speaker 3: our Lord, Jesus Christ. The Bible says, be christ Like.
Speaker 3: We don't need to be someone whom we are not.
Speaker 3: My inspiration is God, My motivation is the Lord.
Speaker 1: In my life. God wants us to be where we
Speaker 1: are and what we are because of Him.
Speaker 3: That's why it's very vivid in the mind of people
Speaker 3: what Jesus said, ped my sheep and tend my land.
Speaker 3: That's why when he recovered and become awakened to become
Speaker 3: a good disciple, then he said in Persepittor five, verse two,
Speaker 3: the shepherds of God's flock that is under your care,
Speaker 3: watching over them, not because you must, but because your will,
Speaker 3: as God wants you to be. Not pursuing this houns gain,
Speaker 3: but eager to serve very heavy because he took and
Speaker 3: he realized what Jesus said for him.
Speaker 1: To have as a disciple.
Speaker 3: I have a picture here when I've taken in a
Speaker 3: Church of Nativity in Jerusalem, when we were there about
Speaker 3: two years ago. This is a picture of a shepherd
Speaker 3: carrying a sheep on his back. Okay, when you look
Speaker 3: at first of the picture, he said, wow, what a
Speaker 3: carrying shepherd.
Speaker 1: The guy would like, you.
Speaker 3: Know, when the tourist guy told us not, you know,
Speaker 3: the the lamb on the back of Pilayan.
Speaker 1: He's a people sheep.
Speaker 3: His leg was cracked by the shepherd. Why because that
Speaker 3: sheep tends to be pass away. He always go to
Speaker 3: the ditch and jump. Everyone follow him. Okay, So sometimes
Speaker 3: God discipline us. Sometimes God will give some discipline on
Speaker 3: our part so that we will learn, and that discipline
Speaker 3: we will never forget. And that that's what we call
Speaker 3: we we walk with the limb, because you know, whenever
Speaker 3: you remember that, you remember the discipline of the Lord.
Speaker 3: And you know it's always great to be disciplined by God.
Speaker 3: How many of us had been disciplined by the Lord. Okay,
Speaker 3: discipline the Lord to go Rome disciplining the Lord to
Speaker 3: go room. God discipline us in a way and manner
Speaker 3: that God wants us to have in this life.
Speaker 1: We cannot escape the discipline of the Lord.
Speaker 3: Uh two weeks ago, I can't someone okay, And he
Speaker 3: shared to me about his life on how he he
Speaker 3: backslidden and take out in the ministry of the Lord
Speaker 3: and do a lot of immorality. Then he said to me,
Speaker 3: I know in my heart that there will come a
Speaker 3: time that I need to suffer and experience the consequences
Speaker 3: of this. I escape the discipline of God, but now
Speaker 3: never I want the discipline of God to be upon me. Now,
Speaker 3: whatever it takes, I will undergo the discipline of God.
Speaker 3: And that's how it is makapati.
Speaker 1: Never never escape the discipline of God.
Speaker 3: Because God loves those whom he disciplined. It's always the
Speaker 3: right thing to come to the Lord and be disciplined
Speaker 3: by God. One Johan, chapter three, verse sixteen says, this
Speaker 3: is how we know that what love is. This is
Speaker 3: laid down his life for us, and we ought to
Speaker 3: lay down our lives for our brothers.
Speaker 1: This is one of the mandate of Jesus to Peter
Speaker 1: feed my sheep, feed my lamb. Where are all disciples here?
Speaker 3: Being a Christian and being a disciple during the New
Speaker 3: Testament is one of the same. Now that there's no gap,
Speaker 3: But through the years of life in the modern days,
Speaker 3: being a Christian and being a disciple, there's always a
Speaker 3: gap in between. Right because of worldliness. Probably there are
Speaker 3: men and alto challenges of the world can give. We
Speaker 3: try to be enticed by the worldly offers. And there's
Speaker 3: a great gap between Christianity and the disciples during my time.
Speaker 3: But Christian come have a come Bible during my time
Speaker 3: Christian Christian Bible, Bible, okay, And.
Speaker 1: It cannot be.
Speaker 3: Measured on how the outer appearance that should go being
Speaker 3: a Christian church is not the picture that you wear.
Speaker 3: It's not the emden that you wear. It's not the
Speaker 3: sticker in your car, it's not how big or now.
Speaker 3: It's your Bible. Because you yourself is a living epiecele
Speaker 3: of God.
Speaker 1: Your life is the best testimony of who Jesus is
Speaker 1: in your life. So how can we breach that gap? Nowadays?
Speaker 3: Is what we call discipleship. Being a Christian you need
Speaker 3: to be discipled and make disciples. But if you're not
Speaker 3: doing that, that God will continue to widen. People say,
Speaker 3: I'm a Christian, and yet we don't see the real
Speaker 3: life of Christ in them. It's not easy to be
Speaker 3: a Christian. In fact, people says it's impossible.
Speaker 1: To be a Christian.
Speaker 3: But what is important, then, church, is that Christianity is
Speaker 3: not based on your religion, but based on your deep
Speaker 3: intimate relationship with God. We have to disciple people. That's
Speaker 3: how we need to follow the mandy of Christ. To
Speaker 3: follow Jesus in humility, to follow Jesus in integrity, and lastly,
Speaker 3: to follow Jesus in simplicity. I will not read the
Speaker 3: verse anymore for lack of time. But you know, when
Speaker 3: look at the picture. When after Jesus told this story
Speaker 3: to Peter, we thought that Peter already got it right, Tealagan,
Speaker 3: So you humility, integrity. Then toddenly, Jesus told Peter that
Speaker 3: you know you will die this kind of death. He said,
Speaker 3: when he looked, he saw John the beloved, okay, and
Speaker 3: how about this man?
Speaker 1: Okay? So you means when you're suffering and it's not
Speaker 1: favorable to us. We look outside the window and tried
Speaker 1: to look back, but.
Speaker 3: Inda Purple purple, indeed, know what God wants us to
Speaker 3: follow in simplicity.
Speaker 1: What is simplicity?
Speaker 3: Simplicity being focus to follow God and sabini. Lord Peter,
Speaker 3: what is it for you if I let this man
Speaker 3: live forever? It's none of your business.
Speaker 1: What I tell you?
Speaker 3: You you follow me, You follow the order of God.
Speaker 3: Being simple is that we need to focus on one.
Speaker 3: We need to be simple minded. We need to focus
Speaker 3: on what God wants us to have. Closure. Doctor three,
Speaker 3: verse two says, set your minds on the things that
Speaker 3: are above, not on the things on earth. We have
Speaker 3: to manifest our relationship with God based on how we
Speaker 3: understand who Jesus and our Lord for our life. No
Speaker 3: more groaning, no complaining, and no comparing with other people.
Speaker 3: History says that Peter died on the cross, but he
Speaker 3: was crucified upside down. He said, I'm not worthy to imitate.
Speaker 1: What my Lord Jesus said.
Speaker 3: After all, he understood what it is to be a
Speaker 3: disciple of the Lord.
Speaker 1: He undergo this kind of suffering.
Speaker 3: But John de Beloved, on the other hand, traditionally says
Speaker 3: it's not inflated in the Bible. But traditionally said that
Speaker 3: John de Beloved was so into a boiling oil three,
Speaker 3: four or five times, but when they got him, it's
Speaker 3: still alive. In Apanela's island of Patmosmamatist.
Speaker 1: Of Revelation. Sometimes we cannot understand the ways of the Lord,
Speaker 1: but it's not about the life of other people. It's
Speaker 1: our life that matters.
Speaker 3: Discipleship is personal, Discipleship is simple. Discipleship is simply following
Speaker 3: Jesus in humility, in integrity and simplicity. In conclusion, I
Speaker 3: can say that life is worth living for when we
Speaker 3: know the purpose of God and faithfully obeying and following
Speaker 3: him his will for our life.
Speaker 1: Church. We need to be serious in this lifetime, this
Speaker 1: gangerous time in our life.
Speaker 3: Tragedy anyone Memabumbas and Manchester, Samarawi, Manchester, Marawi, Okayai Green Hills.
Speaker 3: That was not Lin Dolanda, Marilyn Dolmanalin Lindolna. Those are
Speaker 3: signs of the times that we need to take time
Speaker 3: to think about deeper our commitment to God. How long
Speaker 3: shall we be serious in our relationship to God?
Speaker 1: How could we become a serious disciple that will disciple
Speaker 1: other people for the Lord?
