Alam mo bang mahalaga rin kay Lord na maging mabuti ang isang pinuno? Sa kasaysayan ng Israel, ang kanilang unang hari na si Saul ay hindi sumunod sa puso ng Panginoon, kaya pinalitan Siya ng Lord ng bagong hari. Bata pa si David nang piliin Siya ng Panginoon, dahil alam Niyang si David ay isang taong “after God’s own heart.” (1 Samuel 13:14)
As we continue our series, “Mga Pangakong Tinupad ng Unang Pasko,” let’s look at the promise the Lord showed in David’s life that was fulfilled by Jesus. Bago naging hari si David, isa siyang pastol. Later on, he wrote the famous Psalm 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd,” kung saan inilarawan niya kung paano tayo inaalagaan ng Panginoon, just like a shepherd cares for his sheep.
And through the prophet Jeremiah, who lived hundreds of years before Jesus, the Lord gave his promise: “And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15 ESV)” Alam mo ba ang isang paraan kung paano inilalarawan ni Jesus ang Kanyang sarili? Basahin natin ito sa Gospel of John:
Ako ang mabuting pastol. Kung paano ako nakikilala ng aking Ama at kung paano ko siya nakikilala, ganyan din ang pagkakakilala ko sa aking mga tupa at ang pagkakakilala nila sa akin. At iniaalay ko ang aking buhay para sa kanila. (Juan 10:14-15 ASD)
Nakikita mo ba? Just as David was a Shepherd-King of Israel, Jesus is the true Shepherd-King who loves us so much that He gave His life for us. Let’s pray this together, “Lord, You are the Good Shepherd who takes care of me and gave Your life for me. Salamat sa pagmamahal Mong walang hangganan. Amen.”
Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!
