4. to do for us what we never can do for ourselves.
The Book of Matthew
Our Goal
Though his audience was primarily Jews, Matthew’s message of hope and Redemption speaks to us, as well; a people who need Someone
to do for us what we never can do for ourselves.
We do well to listen
carefully each week
Ang Ating Mithiin. Bagaman ang kanyang pangunahing mambabasa ay mga Judio, ang mensahe ng pag-asa at Katubusan ni Mateo ay nagsasalita sa atin din naman; isang bayan na kelangan ang Isa na gagawin para sa atin ang hinding-hindi natin magagawa para sa sarili ¶ Makakabuti para sa atin ang matamang makinig bawat linggo.

9. The Ministry Begins
Initial Words
One of the great struggles of humanity has been to know what the meaning and purpose of our lives are and how to live them.
We will look at the beginning of Christ’s life and work here on earth, a life and work that alone can give full meaning to our own.
Panimulang Salita. Isa sa malaking pakikibaka ng sangkatauhan ay ang malaman ang kahulugan at layunin ng ating buhay at kung paano isakabuhayan ang mga ito. ¶ Titingnan natin ang pasimula ng buhay at gawain ni Cristo rito sa lupa, isang buhay at gawain na ito lang ang makapagbibigay ng buong kahulugan sa ating sariling buhay.

10. The Ministry Begins
1. Preparation for the Messiah
Matthew 3:1-3 NKJV
“In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!’ For this is he who was spoken of by prophet Isaiah,
saying: ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.” ’ ”
1. Paghahanda Para sa Mesiyas. “Nang mga araw na iyon ay dumating si Juan na Tagapagbautismo na nangangaral sa ilang ng Judea, na nagsasabi, ‘Magsisi kayo, sapagkat malapit na ang kaharian ng langit.’ Sapagkat siya ang tinukoy sa pamamagitan ni propeta Isaias, ¶ nang kanyang sabihin, ‘Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang: “ihanda ninyo ang daan ng Panginoon, tuwirin ninyo ang kanyang mga landas” ’” (Mateo 3:1-3).

11. Matthew 3 begins with John the Baptist, whose first recorded word
1. Preparation for the Messiah
John the Baptist and “Present Truth”
Matthew 3 begins with John the Baptist, whose first recorded word
in the text is an imperative—“Repent!” (Matt. 3:2). In one way, that’s a summary of what God has
been saying to humanity since the Fall:
Repent, accept My forgiveness, put away your sins, and you will find Redemption and rest for your souls.
Si Juan Bautista at ang “Pangkasalukuyang Katotohanan.” Nagpapasimula ang Mateo 3 kay Juan Bautista, na ang kanyang unang naitalang salita sa teksto ay isang pautos—”Magsisi” (Mateo 3:2). Sa isang paraan, ‘yon ay isang pagbubuod ng sinasabi ng Diyos sa sangkatauhan simula ng Pagkakasala: ¶ Magsisi, tanggapin ang Aking kapatawaran, tanggalin ang inyong mga kasalanan, at makakasumpong kayo ng Katubusan at kapahingahan para sa inyong kaluluwa.

12. 1. Preparation for the Messiah
John the Baptist and “Present Truth”
Notice how central Jesus is to everything that John was preaching. Everything even then was about Jesus and about who He was and what He would do. Though the gospel was presented, John also made clear that there will be a final reckoning, a final divide between the wheat and the chaff, and that it will be the prophesied
Pansinin kung gaano kasentro si Jesus sa lahat ng ipinangangaral ni Juan. Lahat kahit noon ay tungkol kay Jesus at tungkol sa kung sino Siya at ano ang Kanyang gagawin. Bagaman ang ebanghelyo ay naihayag, nilinaw din ni Juan ang may isang pinal na pagtutuos, isang pinal na hati sa pagitan ng trigo at ang ipa, at na ito ang hinulaang

13. One who will do that dividing.
1. Preparation for the Messiah
John the Baptist and “Present Truth”
One who will do that dividing.
Hence more proof of how inseparable the gospel is from judgment.
Here also is an example of how, in the
Bible, the first and second comings of Jesus are viewed as one event as we
see John—in the immediate context
of Christ’s first coming—talking about the second, as well.
Isa na maghahati. ¶ Kaya mas marami pang patunay sa kung paano di-maihihiwalay ang ebanghelyo mula sa paghuhukom. ¶ Narito rin ang isang halimbawa kung paano, sa Biblia, ang una at ikalawang pagdating ni Jesus ay tinatanaw bilang isang pangyayari gaya ng makikita natin si juan—sa kalapit na konteksto ng unang pagdating ni Cristo—na nagsasalita tungkol sa ikalawa, rin naman.

14. ‘If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread .”
The Ministry Begins
2. Introduction of the Messiah
Matthew 4:1-3 NKJV
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the devil to Him, he said,
‘If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread .”
2. Pagpapakilala sa Mesiyas. “Pagkatapos nito, si Jesus ay dinala ng Espiritu Santo sa ilang upang tuksuhin ng diyablo. Siya ay apatnapung araw at apatnapung gabing nag-ayuno, pagkatapos ay nagutom siya. Dumating ang manunukso at sinabi sa kanya, ¶ ‘Kung ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos, ipag-utos mo na ang mga batong ito ay maging tinapay” (Mateo 4:1-3).

15. “When Satan and the Son of God
2. Introduction of the Messiah
The Contrast in the Wilderness
“When Satan and the Son of God
first met in conflict, Christ was the commander of the heavenly hosts; and Satan, the leader of revolt in heaven, was cast out.
Now their condition is apparently reversed, and Satan makes the most of his supposed advantage.”—The Desire of Ages 119.
Ang Pagkakaiba sa Ilang. “Nang si Satanas at ang Anak ng Diyos ay unang nagpanagpo sa labanan, Si Cristo ang komander ng hukbo ng langit; at si Satanas, na lider ng paghihimagsik sa langit, ay itinapon. ¶ Ngayon ang kanilang katayuan ay parang nabaliktad, at sinamantala ni Satanas ang ipinalalagay niyang kalamangan.”—The Desire of Ages 119.

16. 2. Introduction of the Messiah
The Contrast in the Wilderness
What a contrast: though Lucifer had once sought to “be like the Most High” (Isa. 14:14), Jesus had emptied Himself of the glory of heaven.
Here, in this one scene, we can see the vast difference between selfishness and selflessness; the vast difference between what holiness is and what sin does.
Ano ngang pagkakaiba: bagaman minsang sinikap ni Lucifer ang “maging gaya ng Kataas-taasan” (Isaias 14:14), tinanggalan ni Jesus ang sarili ng kaluwalhatian ng langit. ¶ Dito, sa isang tagpong ito ay makikita natin ang malaking pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng pagkamakasarili at pagkadi-makasarili; ang malaking pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng kung ano ang kabanalan at ginagawa ng kasalanan.

17. Spirit lead Jesus this way?
2. Introduction of the Messiah
The Temptation
Matthew 4:1 starts out with what seems like a strange thought: it was the Spirit that led Jesus into the desert to be tempted. We are supposed to pray: “ ‘ “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” ’ ” (Matt. 6:13, NKJV).
Why, then, would the Holy
Spirit lead Jesus this way?
Ang Tukso. Nagpapasimula ang Mateo 4:1 sa isang parang kakaibang isipan: Ang Espiritu ang umakay kay Jesus sa ilang para tuksuhin. Inaasahan tayong manalanging: “ ‘ “At huwag mo kaming dalhin sa tukso, kundi iligtas mo kami sa masama” ’ ” (Mateo 6:13). ¶ Bakit, kung gayon, aakayin ng Banal na Espiritu si Cristo sa ganitong paraan?

18. Seeing John’s resistance, Jesus says,
The Temptation
The Key in His Baptism
Seeing John’s resistance, Jesus says,
“ ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness’ ”
(Matt. 3:15, NKJV). To fulfill all righteousness, that is, to do what
was needed in order to be humanity’s perfect example and perfect representative, Jesus had to be baptized, even though He was sinless.
Ang Susi ay nasa Kanyang Bautismo. Nakikta ang pagtutol ni Juan, sinasabi ni Jesus, “ ‘Hayaan mong mangyari ito ngayon, sapagkat ganito ang nararapat sa atin upang matupad ang buong katuwiran’ ” (Mateo 3:15). Para matupad ang buong katuwiran, ibig sabihin, para gawin ang kinakailangan upang maging sakdal na halimbawa at sakdal na kinatawan ng sangkatauhan, kelangang mabautismuhan si Jesus, kahit Siya’y walang kasalanan.

19. 2. Introduction of the Messiah
The Temptation
In the wilderness temptation, Jesus had to pass over the same ground that Adam did. He needed the victory against temptation that we all, from Adam onward, have failed to attain.
By so doing, “Christ was to redeem Adam’s failure” (The Desire of Ages 117), only He did so under conditions unlike anything that Adam had faced.
Sa tukso sa ilang, kelangang dumaan si Jesus sa katulad na dinaanan ni Adan. Kelangan Niya ang tagumpay laban sa tukso na tayong lahat, mula kay Adan patuloy ay nabigong maabot. ¶ Sa paggawa nito, “tutubusin ni Cristo ang pagkabigo ni Adan” (The Desire of Ages 117), kaya lang ay ginawa Niya ito sa ilalamin ng mga katayuang hindi gaya ng anumang hinarap ni Adan.

20. 2. Introduction of the Messiah
The Temptation
By this victory Jesus shows that we never have an excuse for sin, that there is no justification for it, and that, when tempted, we don’t have to fall but through faith and submission we can overcome. “Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:7, 8, NKJV).
Sa pamamagitan ng tagumpay na ito ipinakita ni Jesus na wala tayong dahilan para magkasala, na walang pangangatwiran para rito, at na, kapag tinukso, hindi tayo kelangang magkasala kundi sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya at pagpapasakop ay magtatagumpay tayo. “Labanan ninyo ang diyablo, at sila ay lalayo sa inyo. Lumapit kayo sa Diyos, at siya’y lalapit sa inyo” (Santiago 4:7, 8).

21. The Ministry Begins
3. The Messiah Begins His Ministry
Matthew 4:12-17 NKJV
“When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee That it might fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ... ‘The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light....’ From that time Jesus
began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
3. Pasisimulan ng Masiyas ang Kanyang Ministri. “Nang mabalitaan ni Jesus na dinakip si Juan, pumunta siya sa Galilea. ... Upang matupad ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ni propeta Isaias: ‘Ang bayang nakaupo sa kadiliman, ay nakakita ng dakilang ilaw....’ Mula noon si Jesus ay ¶ nagpasimulang mangaral na nagsasabi, ‘Magsisi kayo, sapagkat malapit na ang kaharian ng langit” (Mateo 4:12-17).

22. 3. The Messiah Begins His Ministry
The Call of the Fisherman
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17, NKJV). Jesus began
His ministry with a call to repentance. He knew the fallen state of humanity and the need for all people to repent and come to a knowledge of God.
Thus, it’s not surprising that His first public proclamation was with a call
to repentance.
Ang Panawagan ng Mangingisda. “Magsisi kayo. Sapagkat malapit na ang kaharian ng langit” (Mateo 4:17). Pinasimulan ni Jesus ang kanyang ministri sa isang panawagan sa pagsisisi. Alam Niya ang nagkasalang katayuan ng sangkatauhan at ang pangangailangan para sa lahat ng tao na magsisi at dumating sa isang kaalaman sa Diyos. ¶ Sa gayon, hindi kagulat-gulat na ang una Niyang pagpapahayag publiko ay may isang panawagan para magsisi.

23. 3. The Messiah Begins His Ministry
The Call of the Fisherman
Here, in the forgotten land of Galilee, was a small fishing partnership run by four young men: two sets of brothers.
These men apparently had a heart for God, because for a while some of them followed John the Baptist. But, to their surprise, John the Baptist had pointed them in the direction of another young man from their own region.
Dito, sa nakalimutang lupa ng Galilea, ay isang maliit na samahan ng pangingisda na pinatatakbo ng apat na kabataang lalaki: dalawang pares ng magkakapatid. ¶ Ang mga lalaking ito ay may puso mandin para sa Diyos, dahil sa ilang panahon ay sumunod ang ilan sa kanila kay Juan Bautista. Subalit, ikinagulat nila na itinuro sila ni Juan Bautista sa direksiyon ng isa pang kabataang lalaki mula sa kanilang rehiyon.

24. “Jesus chose unlearned fishermen because they had not been schooled
3. The Messiah Begins His Ministry
The Call of the Fisherman
“Jesus chose unlearned fishermen because they had not been schooled
in the traditions and erroneous
customs of their time.
They were men of native ability, and they were humble and teachable,— men whom He could educate for His work.”—The Desire of Ages 250.
“Pinili ni Jesus ang mga mangingisdang hindi nagkapag-aral dahil hindi sila naturuan sa mga tradisyon at maling kaugalian ng kanilang panahon. ¶ Sila’y mga lalaki nang katutubong abilidad, at sila’y mababang-loob at natuturuan,—mga lalaking matuturuan Niya para sa Kanyang gawain.”—The Desire of Ages 250.

25. In Jesus—His preexistence, birth,
The Ministry Begins
Final Words
Paul Feyerabend, a German philosopher of science, confessed: “So one day passes after another and it is not clear why one should live.”
In Jesus—His preexistence, birth,
life, death, ministry in heaven, and second coming—we can find the answers to life’s most pressing questions.
Huling Pananalita. Si Paul Feyerabend, isang German na pilosopo ng siyensya ay umamin: “Kaya sunod-sunod na lumalampas ang isang araw at hindi malinaw kung bakit ang isa’y dapat mabuhay.” ¶ Kay Jesus—ang Kanyang naunang pag-iral, pagkapanganak, buhay, kamatayan, ministri sa langit, at ikalawang pagdating—ay masusumpungan natin ang mga kasagutan sa pinakamapipilit na katanungan ng buhay.
