The Book of Luke Our Goal Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Luke surveyed the historical materials, interviewed the eyewitnesses (1:2), and then, with “perfect understanding of all things,” wrote “an orderly account” that readers “may know the certainty” of Jesus and His good news (vss. 3, 4, NKJV). Ang Ating Mithiin. Sa ilalim ng pamamatnubay ng Banal na Espiritu, siniyasat ni Lucas ang mga materyales ng kasaysayan, nakipanayam sa mga saksing nakakita (1:2), at pagkatapos, may “sakdal na pagkaunawa ng lahat ng bagay,” ay sumulat ng “isang maayos na salaysay” upang ang mga babasa ay “malaman ang katiyakan” ni Jesus at Kanyang mabuting balita (talatang 3, 4).

The Kingdom of God Initial Words The kingdom of God is an expression of what God had done in history for the human race as He deals with the problem of sin and brings the great controversy with Satan to an ultimate end. It is unlike any kingdom the world has ever known, and that’s because it’s not a worldly kingdom. Panimulang Salita. Ang kaharian ng Diyos ay isang paghahayag ng nagawa ng Diyos sa kasaysayan para sa lahi ng tao samantalang Kanyang hinaharap ang problema ng kasalanan at dinadala ang malaking tunggalian kay Satanas sa isang ultimong katapusan. ¶ Hindi ito katulad ng anumang kaharian na nakilala na ng daigdig, at ‘yan ay dahil hindi ito isang makalupang kaharian.

The Kingdom of God 1. Characteristics of God’s Kingdom Luke 18:29, 30 NKJV “ ‘Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.’ ” 1. Mga Likas ng Kaharian ng Diyos. “ ‘Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, walang sinuman na nag-iwan ng bahay, o asawang babae, o mga kapatid, o mga magulang o mga anak, dahil sa kaharian ng Diyos, ¶ na di tatanggap ng lalong higit pa sa panahong ito, at sa panahong darating ng buhay na walang hanggan’ ” (Lucas 18:29, 30).

1. Characteristics of God’s Kingdom Luke 1:32, 33: It’s Importance First, the Messiah anticipated in the Old Testament is none other than Jesus, “the Son of the Highest”; second, “Of his kingdom there will be no end.” Through His incarnation, death, and resurrection, Jesus vanquished Satan’s challenge to God’s sovereignty and established for eternity God’s kingdom. Lucas 1:32, 33: Ang Kahalagahan Nito. Una, ang Mesiyas na inasam sa Lumang Tipan ay walang iba kundi si Jesus, “ang Anak ng Kataas-taasan”; ¶ ikalawa, “Sa kanyang kaharian ay walang katapusan.” Sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang pagkakatawang-tao, kamatayan, at pagkabuhay na muli, nilupig ni Jesus ang hamon ni Satanas sa kataas-taasang kapangyarihan ng Diyos at itinatag sa walang hanggan ang kaharian ng Diyos.

One must come to Jesus with an 1. Characteristics of God’s Kingdom Citizenship Entry into the kingdom of God is not dependent on one’s status or position, or one’s riches or the lack thereof. One must come to Jesus with an attitude of uncompromised surrender, absolute dependency, and child-like trust; these are traits of those who have entered the kingdom of God. Pagkamamamayan. Ang pagpasok sa kaharian ng Diyos ay hindi nakadepende sa katayuan o posisyon mo, o ang yaman o kawalan mo nito. ¶ Kelangang pumunta ka kay Jesus na may saloobin ng di-naikumpromisong pagsuko, lubos na pagdedepende, at pagtitiwalang gaya ng bata; ito ang mga likas ng mga nakapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.

Jesus, and His claim on our life, on every aspect of our life, takes 1. Characteristics of God’s Kingdom Citizenship They must be willing to give up everything, if need be; for whatever they would not want to give up would be something that, in a sense, not only competes with Jesus but, in fact, wins. Jesus, and His claim on our life, on every aspect of our life, takes top priority. Kelangang nahahanda silang isuko ang lahat, kung kinakailangan; dahil ang anumang hindi nila maisusuko ay bagay na, sa isang isipan, ay di lang nakikipagpaligsahan kay Jesus kundi, sa katotohanan, ay nagtatagumpay ito. ¶ Si Jesus, at ang Kanyang inaangkin sa ating buhay, sa bawat aspeto ng ating buhay, ay kinukuha ang pinakamataas na prayoridad.

1. Characteristics of God’s Kingdom Citizenship To have to leave parents, spouse, even children for the kingdom of God? Jesus is not saying that these actions are required of all believers but that if one were called to leave these things for the sake of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of God would be worth it. Iiwanan ang mga magulang, asawa, kahit mga anak para sa kaharian ng Diyos? ¶ Hindi sinasabi ni Jesus na ang mga kilos na ito’y hinihingi sa lahat ng mananampalataya ngunit kung ang isa’y tinawagan para iwan ang mga bagay na ito para sa kaharian ng Diyos, ang kaharian ng Diyos ay karapat-dapat nito.

and to stand before the Son of Man.’ ” The Kingdom of God 2. The Second Coming and God’s Kingdom Luke 21:34-36 NKJV “ ‘But take heed..., lest your hearts be weighed down with...[the] cares of this life, and that the Day come on you unexpectedly. ... Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things... and to stand before the Son of Man.’ ” 2. Ang Ikalawang Pagdating at ang Kaharian ng Diyos. “ ‘Subalit mag-ingat kayo..., baka magumon ang inyong mga puso sa....mga alalahanin ukol sa buhay na ito, at biglang dumating ang araw na iyon na parang bitag. .... Maging handa kayo sa bawat panahon na nananalanging magkaroon kayo ng lakas upang makatakas sa lahat ng mga bagay na ito na mangyayari, ¶ at upang makatayo kayo sa harapan ng Anak ng Tao’ ” (Lucas 21:34-36).

2. The Second Coming and God’s Kingdom Already, Not Yet While the “already” aspect has settled the finality of the kingdom—Jesus’ victory in the great controversy—the “not yet” aspect looks forward to the physical end of evil: “The full establishment of the kingdom of His glory will not take place until the second coming of Christ to this world.”—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing 108. Nangyari Na, Hindi Pa. Samantalang ang aspetong “nangyari na” ay napagpasyahan ang pinalidad ng kaharian—ang tagumpay ni Jesus sa malaking tunggalian—ang aspetong “hindi pa” ay tumitingin sa pisikal na katapusan ng kasamaan: “Ang buong pagkakatatag ng kaharian ng Kanyang kaluwalhatian ay hindi magaganap hanggang sa ikalawang pagdating ni Cristo sa daigdig na ito.”—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing 108.

Jesus spoke of two certainties: 2. The Second Coming and God’s Kingdom Already, Not Yet Jesus spoke of two certainties: (1) God’s activity through Christ in history to save humanity from sin and (2) God’s closure of history by restoring the saved to His original plan—to live with Him forever in the earth made new (Rev. 21:1–3). Nagsalita si Jesus ng dalawang katiyakan: (1) Ang kilos ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Cristo sa kasaysayan para iligtas ang sangkatauhan mula sa kasalanan at ¶ (2) Ang pagsasara ng Diyos sa kasaysayan sa pamamagitan ng pagsasauli sa mga naligtas sa Kanyang orihinal na panukala—na mabuhay kasama Niya magpakailanman sa binagong lupa (Apocalipsis 21:1-3).

2. The Second Coming and God’s Kingdom Already, Not Yet The first has arrived in the mission and ministry of Christ. In Him we are already in the kingdom of grace (Eph. 1:4–9). The second part, the gathering of the saved in the kingdom of glory, is the future hope that those in Christ await (Eph. 1:10, Titus 2:13). Ang una’y dumating sa misyon at ministri ni Cristo. Sa Kanya tayo ay nasa kaharian na ng biyaya (Efeso 1:4-9). ¶ Ang ikalawang bahagi, ang pagtitipon ng mga naligtas sa kaharian ng kaluwalhatian, ay isang kinabukasang pag-asa na hinihintay ng mga nasa kay Cristo (Efeso 1:10, Tito 2:13).

2. The Second Coming and God’s Kingdom Already, Not Yet Those who have experienced the kingdom of grace must wait, watch, and pray for the kingdom of glory. The believers are to be occupied with ministry and mission, with living and hoping, with nurture and witness. The anticipation of the Second Coming demands the sanctification of our lives now and here. Ang mga nakaranas ng kaharian ng biyaya ay dapat maghintay, magbantay, at manalangin para sa kaharian ng kaluwalhatian. ¶ Ang mga mananampalataya ay magiging abala sa ministri at misyon, may pamumuhay at pag-asa, may pagkalinga’t pagsaksi. ¶ Ang pag-asam sa Ikalawang Pagdating ay hinihingi ang pagpapakabanal ng ating buhay ngayon at dito.

and to the end of the earth.’ ” The Kingdom of God 3. Witnesses for God’s Kingdom Acts 1:8 NKJV “ ‘But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’ ” 3. Mga Saksi Para sa Kaharian ng Diyos. “Ngunit tatanggap kayo ng kapangyarihan pagbaba sa inyo ng Espiritu Santo; at kayo’y magiging mga saksi ko sa Jerusalem, sa buong Judea at Samaria, ¶ at hanggang sa kadulu-duluhang bahagi ng lupa” (Gawa 1:8).

First, be sure that Jesus will 3. Witnesses for God’s Kingdom Three Fundamental Truths First, be sure that Jesus will come again. The mighty events of the Cross and the Resurrection had not changed anything in the teaching of Jesus in regard to the kingdom; for 40 days the risen Jesus continued to impress on the disciples the reality of the kingdom. Tatlong Pundamental ng Katotohanan. Una, tiyaking si Jesus ay muling darating. ¶ Ang makapangyarihang pangyayari ng Krus at ang Pagkabuhay na muli ay walang binago sa anumang katuruan ni Jesus tungkol sa kaharian; ¶ sa loob ng 40 araw ang nabuhay na Jesus ay patuloy na ikinintal sa mga alagad ang realidad ng kaharian.

Second, be waiting for Jesus to come again in God’s own time. 3. Witnesses for God’s Kingdom Three Fundamental Truths Second, be waiting for Jesus to come again in God’s own time. God knows when the kingdom of glory should come, and He will bring it to pass in His own time (Acts 1:7, Matt. 24:36), just as “when the fullness of the time had come” (Gal. 4:4) He sent His Son to inaugurate the kingdom of grace. Ikalawa, maghintay para kay Jesus na muling dumating sa sariling oras ng Diyos. ¶ Alam ng Diyos kung kelan dapat dumating ang kaharian ng kaluwalhatian, at papapangyarihin Niya ito sa Kanyang oras (Gawa 1:7, Mateo 24:36), gaya ng “nang dumating ang ganap na kapanahunan” (Galacia 4:4) isinugo Niya ang Kanyang Anak upang pasinayaan ang kaharian ng biyaya.

Third, be witnesses to the gospel 3. Witnesses for God’s Kingdom Three Fundamental Truths Third, be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus. That is our responsibility—not in our own strength but by the power of the Holy Spirit, promised to be poured out on all those who shall be witnesses to what they have seen and heard (vss. 4–8). Ikatlo, sumaksi sa ebanghelyo ni Jesus. ¶ ‘Yan ang ating responsibilidad—hindi sa ating lakas kundi sa kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu, na ipinangakong ibubuhos sa lahat ng mga magiging saksi sa kanilang nakita’t narinig (talatang 4-8).

The Kingdom of God Final Words “We are now in God’s workshop. ... [A]s we lay hold upon the truth of God...it...removes from us every imperfection.... Thus we are prepared to see the King...in the kingdom of glory. It is here that this work is to be accomplished for us, here that our bodies and spirits are to be fitted for immortality.”—Testimonies 2:355, 356. Huling Pananalita. “Tayo ngayo’y nasa pagawaan ng Diyos. ... Samantalang nanghahawakan tayo sa katotohanan ng Diyos...aalisin...mula sa atin ang bawat kasiraan.... Sa gayon tayo’y handang makita ang Hari...sa kaharian ng kaluwalhatian. Dito gaganapin ang gawaing ito para sa atin, dito ang ating katawan at espiritu ay ibabagay sa imortalidad.”—Testimonies 2:355, 356.
