“Pakainin Mo ang Aking Tupa:” 1 at 2 Pedro

4. We are among those sheep.
“Feed My Sheep”
Our Goal
peter, who openly and crassly denied the Lord (even with cursing) saying,
“ ‘I do not know the Man’ ” (Matt. 26:74, NKJV), is the one to whom Jesus later said, “Feed my sheep”
(John 21:17).
We are among those sheep.
Let’s get fed.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Si Pedro, na lantaran at walang paking ipinagkaila ang Panginoon (may pagmumura pa nga) na sinasabing, “ ‘Hindi ko kilala ang taong iyon’ ” (Mateo 26:74), ay siyang sinabihan pagkatapos ni Jesus, “Pakainin mo ang aking tupa” (Juan 21:17). ¶ Tayo’y kabilang sa mga tupang ‘yon. Tayo’y kumain.

Pagdurusa Para kay Cristo

7. Suffering for Christ
Key Text
1 Peter 2:21 NKJV
“for to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.”
Susing Talata. “Sapagkat ukol dito kayo’y tinawag, sapagkat si Cristo man ay nagdusa alang-alang sa inyo, na kayo’y iniwanan ng halimbawa, upang sumunod kayo sa Kanyang mga yapak” (1 Pedro 2:21).

Suffering for Christ
Initial Words
within the short epistle, there are no fewer than three extended passages that deal with his readers’ suffering for Christ (1 Pet. 2:18–25, 3:13–21, 4:12–19).
By any reckoning, then, the
suffering caused by persecution is a major theme of 1 Peter, and to that we turn.
Panimulang Salita. Nasa loob ng maiksing liham, merong hindi bababa sa tatlong mahabang sipi na tumatalakay sa pagdurusa para kay Cristo ng kanyang mambabasa (1 Pedro 2:18–25, 3:13–21, 4:12–19). ¶ Sa alinmang pagpapalagay, kung gayon, ang pagdurusa na dulot ng pag-uusig ay isang malaking tema ng 1 Pedro, at doon tayo babaling.

10. Suffering for Christ
1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
1 Peter 3:18; 4:1 NKJV
“for christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind....”
1. Ang Pagdurusa’t Halimbawa ni Cristo. “Sapagkat si Cristo man ay minsang nagdusa dahil sa mga kasalanan, ang isang matuwid dahil sa mga di-matuwid, upang kayo ay madala niya sa Diyos. Siya’y pinatay sa laman ngunit binuhay sa espiritu. ¶ Kung paanong si Cristo ay nagdusa sa laman ay sandatahan din naman ninyo ang inyong sarili ng gayong pag-iisip...” (1 Pedro 3:18; 4:1).

11. 1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
Brought About Salvation
christians should make sure that they do not provide others with a reason to accuse them. They must keep their consciences clear (1 Pet. 3:16).
Those who accuse a Christian will be put to shame by the blameless life of the Christian who is being accused.
Lumikha ng Kaligtasan. Dapat tiyakin ng mga Kristiyano na huwag nilang bibigyan ang iba ng dahilan para akusahan sila. Dapat nilang panatilihing malinis ang kanilang konsensya (1 Pedro 3:16). ¶ Yung umaakusa sa isang Kristiyano ay mapapahiya sa pamamagitan ng walang bahid na buhay ng Kristiyanong inaakusahan.

12. There is no merit in suffering
1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
Brought About Salvation
There is no merit in suffering
for being a wrongdoer.
It is suffering for doing good, for doing the right thing, that makes the crucial difference. “For it is better,
if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil”
(1 Pet. 3:17, NKJV).
Walang merito sa pagdurusa dahil sa pagiging isang nagkasala. ¶ Ang gumagawa ng kritikal na pagkakaiba ay ‘yong pagdurusa dahil sa paggawa ng mabuti, dahil sa paggawa ng tama. “Sapagkat mas mabuting magdusa dahil sa paggawa ng mabuti kung iyon ay kalooban ng Diyos, kaysa magdusa sa paggawa ng masama” (1 Pedro 3:17).

13. But His suffering also brought about the only means of salvation.
1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
Brought About Salvation
Christ suffered for His righteousness; the holiness and purity of His life stood as a rebuke to those who hated Him.
But His suffering also brought about the only means of salvation.
He died in the place of sinners
(“the just for the unjust,” 1 Pet. 3:18), so that those who believe in Him will have the promise of eternal life.
Nagdusa si Cristo dahil sa Kanyang katuwiran; ang kabanalan at kadalisayan ng Kanyang buhay ay tumayong isang sumbat sa mga namuhi sa Kanya. Subalit ang Kanyang pagdurusa ay lumikha rin ng nag-iisang paraan ng kaligtasan. ¶ Namatay Siya sa lugar ng mga makasalanan (“ang matuwid para sa di-matuwid,” 1 Pedro 3:18), upang ang mga maniniwala sa Kanya ay magkakaron ng pangako ng buhay na walang hanggan.

14. Jesus: “ ‘You will be hated...for My name’s sake’ ” (Matt. 24:9).
1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
The Fiery Trial
To suffer persecution for being a Christian is to partake of Christ’s suffering.
Paul: “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12, NKJV).
Jesus: “ ‘You will be hated...for My name’s sake’ ” (Matt. 24:9).
“Persecution...await all who are imbued with the Spirit of Christ.” —The Acts of the Apostles 576.
Ang Mainit na Pagsubok. Ang magdusa dahil sa pagiging Kristiyano ay pakikibahagi sa pagdurusa ni Cristo. ¶ Pablo: “Tunay na ang lahat ng ibig mabuhay na may kabanalan kay Cristo Jesus ay daranas ng pag-uusig” (2 Timoteo 3:12) ¶ Jesus: ” ‘Kayo’y kapopootan...dahil sa aking pangalan’ ” (Mateo 24:9). ¶ “Ang pag-uusig...ay naghihintay sa lahat ng napuspos ng Espiritu ni Cristo.”—The Acts of the Apostles 576.

15. Yes, persecution is bad, but press on ahead in faith.
1. Suffering and Christ’s Example
The Fiery Trial
For a faithful Christian, persecution can be an ever-present reality, the “fiery trial” they were facing.
Fire can be destructive, but it also can clean away impurities; silver and gold are purified by it. God can bring good out of it.
Yes, persecution is bad, but press on ahead in faith.
Para sa isang tapat na Kristiyano, ang pag-uusig ay maaaring maging isang naron lagi na realidad, ang “mainit na pagsubok” na kanilang hinaharap. ¶ Maaaring maging mapamuksa ang apoy, ngunit kaya rin nitong alisin ang mga dumi; ang pilak at ginto ay dinadalisay sa pamamagitan nito. Mapapalabas ng Diyos ang mabuti mula rito. ¶ Oo, masama ang pag-uusig, subalit sumige ka sa pananampalataya.

16. commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”
Suffering for Christ
2. Suffering and God’s Judgment
1 Peter 4:17-19 NKJV
“for the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? ... Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God
commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”
2. Ang Pagdurusa’t Paghuhukom ng Diyos. “Sapagkat ito’y panahon upang simulan ang paghuhukom sa sambahayan ng Diyos; at kung magsimula sa atin, ano kaya ang wakas ng mga hindi sumusunod sa ebanghelyo ng Diyos? ... Kaya’t ang mga nagdurusa ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos ¶ ay ipagkatiwala ang kanilang mga kaluluwa sa tapat na lumikha sa paggawa ng mabuti” (1 Pedro 4:17-19).

17. 2. Suffering and God’s Judgment
Judgment and the People of God
the process of judgment is portrayed as starting with the people of God.
The sufferings that his Christian readers are experiencing might be nothing less than the judgment of God. “Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator” (1 Pet. 4:19).
Ang Paghuhukom at ang Bayan ng Diyos. Ang proseso ng paghuhukom ay inilarawan na nagpapasimula sa bayan ng Diyos. ¶ Ang mga pagdurusang dinaranas ng kanyang mga Kristiyanong mambabasa ay maaaring paghuhukom lang ng Diyos. “Kayat ang mga nagdurusa ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos ay ipagkatiwala ang kanilang mga kaluluwa sa tapat na lumikha sa paggawa ng mabuti” (1 Pedro 4:19).

18. Judgment and the People of God
Luke 18:2-5 NKJV
“There was...a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow...and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
And he would not for a while; but afterward he said..., ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
Lucas 18:2-5. “May hukom na hindi natatakot sa Diyos at walang taong iginagalang. May isang babaing balo na laging pumupunta sa kanya, na nagsasabi, ‘Bigyan mo ako ng katarungan laban sa aking kaaway.’ ¶ May ilang panahon na siya’y tumatanggi, subalit pagkatapos ay sinabi..., ‘Bagaman ako’y hindi natatakot sa Diyos, at hindi gumagalang sa tao, subalit dahil ginagambala ako ng balong ito, bibigyan ko siya ng katarungan. Kung hindi ay magsasawa ako sa kanyang patuloy na pagpunta rito.’ ”

19. 2. Suffering and God’s Judgment
Judgment and the People of God
The widow knows that she will prevail in her case if she can find a judge who will take her case. She has insufficient money and status to get her case heard, but she finally persuades the judge to hear it and to give her what she deserves.
“ ‘And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?’ ” (Luke 18:7, NKJV).
Nalalaman ng balo na siya’y mananaig sa kanyang kaso kung makakasumpong siya ng isang hukom na diringgin ang kanyang kaso. Kulang ang kanyang pera at katayuan para mapakinggan ang kanyang kaso, subalit sa wakas ay nahimok niya ang hukom na pakinggan ito at ibigay sa kanya ang nararapat sa kanya. ¶ “ ‘At hindi ba bibigyan ng Diyos ng katarungan ang kanyang mga pinili na sumisigaw sa kanya araw at gabi?’ ” (Lucas 18:7).

20. 2. Suffering and God’s Judgment
Judgment and the People of God
Sin has brought evil into the world, and God’s people throughout the ages have long waited for God to make things right again.
“ ‘Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested’ ” (Rev. 15:4, NKJV).
Nagdala ng kasamaan ang kasalanan sa sanlibutan, at ang bayan ng Diyos sa buong kapanahunan ay matagal na naghintay para magtuwid ang Diyos. ¶ ‘ ‘Sinong hindi matatakot at luluwalhati sa iyong pangalan o Panginoon, sapagkat ikaw lamang ang banal. Ang lahat ng mga bansa ay darating at sasamba sa harapan mo; sapagkat ang iyong matuwid na gawa ay nahayag’ ” (Apocalipsis 15:4).

21. Suffering for Christ
3. Suffering and the Great Controversy
1 Peter 5:8, 9 NKJV
“be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith,
knowing that the same sufferings are experience by your brother hood in the world.”
3. Ang Pagdurusa’t ang Malaking Tunggalian. “Magpakatino kayo, magbantay kayo. Ang diyablo na inyong kaaway ay tulad ng leong gumagala at umuungal, na humahanap ng kanyang malalapa. Siya’y labanan ninyo, maging matatag sa inyong pananampalataya, ¶ yamang inyong nalalaman na ang mga gayong hirap ay nararanasan ng inyong mga kapatid sa buong sanlibutan” (1 Pedro 5:8, 9).

22. 3. Suffering and the Great Controversy
Faith Amid Trials
why the suffering? Job, one of the first books of the Bible to be written, has suffering as a key theme.
If there was anyone (besides Jesus) who suffered not as “a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters” (1 Pet. 4:15), it was Job.
After all, even God said of Job: “ ‘Have you considered My servant Job,
Pananampalata sa Gitna ng mga Pagsubok. Bakit may pagdurusa? Ang Job, isa sa mga unang aklat ng Biblia na naisulat, ay meron ang pagdurusa bilang susing tema. ¶ Kung merong isa (maliban kay Jesus) na nagdusa hindi bilang “isang mamamatay-tao, o magnanakaw, o gumagawa ng masama, o bilang isang mapanghimasok” (1 Pedro 4:15), ito’y si Job. Matapos ang lahat, kahit ang Diyos ay nagsabi tungkol kay Job: “ ‘Napansin mo ba ang aking lingkod na si Job?

23. 3. Suffering and the Great Controversy
Faith Amid Trials
that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?’ ”
(Job 1:8, NKJV). And yet, look at what poor Job had endured, not because he was evil but because he was good!
The answer is that we suffer because we are in the midst of the great controversy between Christ and Satan.
Wala siyang katulad sa lupa, isang walang kapintasan at matuwid na lalaki na may takot sa Diyos at lumalayo sa kasamaan’ ” (Job 1:8). At gayunman, tingnan ang tiniis ng kaawa-awang si Job, hindi dahil siya’y masama kundi dahil siya’y mabuti! ¶ Ang sagot ay, tayo’y nagdurusa dahil tayo’y nasa kalagitnaan ng malaking tunggalian sa pagitan ni Cristo at Satanas.

24. had asked, again and again: Why?
3. Suffering and the Great Controversy
Faith Amid Trials
When we suffer, especially when that suffering does not come directly as a result of our own evildoing, we naturally ask the question that Job
had asked, again and again: Why?
And, we don’t have an answer. All we can do is to commit our souls to God, trusting in Him, our “faithful Creator,” and continue in “doing good” (1 Pet. 4:19).
Kapag tayo’y nagdusa, lalo na kapag ang pagdurusang ‘yon ay hindi tuwirang dumarating bilang bunga ng ating masamang ginawa ay natural na itatanong natin ang itinanong nang paulit-ulit ni Job: Bakit? ¶ At, wala tayong sagot. Ang magagawa lang natin ay italaga ang ating kaluluwa sa Diyos, nagtitiwala sa Kanya, ang ating “tapat na Lumikha,” at magpatuloy sa “paggawa ng mabuti” (1 Pedro 4:19).

25. Suffering for Christ
Final Words
“those who honor the law of God have been accused of bringing judgments upon the world, and they will be regarded as the cause of the fearful convulsions of nature and the strife and bloodshed among men that are filling the earth with woe. ...
Satan will excite to still greater intensity the spirit of hatred and persecution.”—The Great Controversy 614, 615.
Huling Pananalita. “Yung iginagalang ang kautusan ng Diyos ay inakusahan ng pagdadala ng mga paghuhukom sa daigdig, at ituturing sila na dahilan ng mga nakakatakot na pagyanig ng kalikasan at ang labanan at pagdanak ng dugo sa mga tao na pinupuno ang daigdig ng pighati. ... ¶ Pakikilusin ni Satanas sa lalo pang mas matindi ang espiritu ng pagkamuhi at pag-uusig.” —The Great Controversy 614, 615.
