Speaker: BRO. SAMUEL D. PINEDA

TEXT: (Matthew 25:31-33).
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He
will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He
will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the
goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left”

TOPIC: ARE YOU SHEEP OR A GOAT?

These words it is the final judgment that will occur at the second coming of
Christ. Each one of us will be present on that occasion. The Bible tells us, “for we
must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ….” (2 Corinthians 5:10). You and
I and every other person will be either on the right or left hand of Jesus. Those on
the right hand, represented as sheep, are the saved. Those on the left hand,
represented as goats it is the lost. To those on His right-hand Jesus, the King, will
say, “…Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34). However, those on the left hand of the
King will hear the words, “…Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41).

Now, my question is what is the difference between sheep and goat?

1. Sheep in tagalog is karnero. Ito yung mga domesticated ruminant animal. In a
reality of karnero yung kanyang sungay is a curving horn or pakurba ng sungay. At
sino nakakita ng karnero or sino naka try ng mag alaga ng karnero. According to
reality. Ang karnero ay isang mabait, masunurin, ugaling matakot at higit sa lahat
matahimik at napaka innocente ng hayop kaysa sa iba kung baga hindi
nagrereklamo, hindi pala-away. And best special na sa story na makikita natin sa
bible in Matthew 25 for comparison, yung parable na yung karnero to represent in
Christianity the sheep are the followers of Christ. And offcourse si David yung
kanyang alaga ay karnero na mababasa natin sa 1 Samuel 17. Alam ninyo mga
youth ang sarap maging karnero dahil over protected si Lord sa atin buhay. Kung
narinig mo ang kwento or ceguro familiar mo yung kwento patungkol kay David. Si
David isa sa taga pagalaga ng karnero at may concern dahill yung mga karnero ay
hindi marunong makipag-away, minsan meron dumaan sa terrotiryo ng karnero ng
mga leon at uso para kainin bagamat natulungan sila at naligtas dahil andyan si
David. Ganyan rin ang Panginoon. Over concern and protected kapag ikaw ay
karnero yung characteristics ng karnero, na maging mabait, masunurin, at sumunod
sa kalooban ng Dios hindi yung kalooban mo o yung gusto mo masusunod, kaya
mga youth mag ingat tayo at dapat ayusin na natin ang buhay na kailangan na
maging sentro tayo sa Panginoon dahil hindi natin alam na kung anu madaanan
natin sa atin buhay kaya in everytime, everywhere, everything, and everyday
kailangan natin si Jesus sa atin buhay para siya mag gabay sa atin buhay. If you a
sheep you are saved because you are followers of Christ, bakit ka followers kasi
ginagawa mo ang gusto ng Panginoon tulad ng prayer, read the bible, mag devotion
everyday, laging present sa youth gathering, outreach, evangelism, discipleship,
magpractice sa loob ng simbahan, bible study, cottage prayer, funeral services, at
marami pa. bakit ginawa mo yan kasi mahal mo si Lord or God’s Love first before
anything else.

Now, in this word of Goat. Ano naman ang Goat? Ang Goat or kambing is a
domesticated species of goat-antelope typically kept as livestock means belong to
livestock. Ang goat na ito ay may sungay rin ang kanyang sungay ay straight at sa
dulo ay pointed, (trivia about horn) alam ninyo ang goat ay laging humihingi ng
tulong, bakit? Kasi nag rereklamo lagi siyang nagsasabi ng Me….Me… Me.. kung
anu yung gusto niya. Kaya ayan mga youth kung ganyan ka ganyan rin buhay mo,
lagi nagrereklamo.

Are you a sheep or a goat? Are you saved or lost?

Dear young people as a pure young mga single season, student season,
professional seasons, are you aware that you are the one who decides whether you
are a sheep or a goat? If you are saved it will be because you made the choice to
accept the salvation God provides through the blood of Jesus (Romans 5:8-9). If you
are lost it will be because you chose to reject God’s offer of salvation. You can
choose to serve God in this life or to serve the devil. Your choice determines whether
on the Day of Judgment you will be a sheep or a goat.
God wants you and every other person to be saved eternally (2 Peter 3:9). That is
why He has revealed in His Word the exact response required to receive the
forgiveness of sins. Faith in Jesus as the Son of God (John 8:24), repenting of sin
(Acts 17:30), confessing faith in Christ (Matthew 10:32-33) and immersion in water
for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21) is what the Bible teaches is
necessary to be saved. So, are you a sheep or a goat?
If you are a sheep, The Lord watch you and I believe maging Happy talaga si Lord
dahil ikaw ang pinili niya dahil tinanggap mo ang mensahe na ito ngayon. Kaya
patuloy lang maging mabuhay kristiyano. Because the Lord will figth for you; you
need only to be still. Mananatili kalang dahil siya na ang bahala sa buhay mo..
