MIDWEEK DISCUSSION 1
PERSONAL STUDY 1
DISCIPLES HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS

Philip and Nathanael were personally called by Jesus to follow Him. The same is true of
many others during Jesus’ life, including men like Peter, James, John, and Matthew (see
Matt. 10:2-4)—and also women such as Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna (see Luke
8:1-3). These individuals and many more served and supported Jesus during His ministry on
earth. Sina Felipe at Natanael ay personal na tinawag ni Jesus upang sumunod sa Kanya.
Totoo rin ito sa marami pang iba noong panahon ni Jesus, kabilang ang mga lalaking tulad
nina Pedro, Santiago, Juan, at Mateo (tingnan sa Mat. 10:2–4)—at gayundin sa mga
kababaihan tulad nina Maria Magdalena, Joanna, at Susana (tingnan sa Lucas 8). :1-3). Ang
mga indibidwal na ito at marami pang iba ay naglingkod at sumuporta kay Jesus sa panahon
ng Kanyang ministeryo sa lupa.

What’s interesting is that Jesus continued to call people to Himself even after His earthly
ministry was over—even after His death, resurrection, and ascension had been
accomplished. For example, Jesus personally and specifically reached out to a Pharisee
named Saul of Tarshish:
Ang nakakawili ay patuloy na tinawag ni Jesus ang mga tao sa Kanyang sarili kahit na
matapos ang Kanyang ministeryo sa lupa—kahit matapos ang Kanyang kamatayan, muling
pagkabuhay, at pag-akyat sa langit. Ang isang halimbawa nito, ay personal at partikular na
nilapitan ni Jesus ang isang Pariseo na nagngangalang Saul ng Tarsis:

1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord.
He went to the high priest 2 and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus,
so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them as
prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven
suddenly flashed around him. 4 Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul,
Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 “Who are You, Lord?” he said.
“I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting,” He replied. 6 “But get up and go into the city, and
you will be told what you must do.”

ACTS 9:1-6

Saul had been fully dedicated to his direction in life, which happened to involve “breathing
threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord.” When he encountered Jesus, however,
and responded to Jesus’ call, everything changed. Saul changed. He turned completely
away from his old way of life and started down the path of following Christ. Today, we know
Saul by his other name: the apostle Paul.
Paul’s story is important because it reminds us of the need for repentance as we respond to
Jesus’ call.
Si Saul ay lubusang nakatuon sa kaniyang direksyon sa buhay, na may kinalaman sa “mga
pagbabanta at pagpatay laban sa mga alagad ng Panginoon.” Nang makatagpo niya si
Jesus, gayunpaman, at tumugon sya sa tawag ni Jesus, nagbago ang lahat. Nagbago si
Saul. Lubusan siyang tumalikod sa dati niyang paraan ng pamumuhay at nagsimula sa
landas ng pagsunod kay Kristo. Sa ngayon, kilala natin si Saulo sa iba pa niyang pangalan:
ang apostol na si Pablo.
Ang kuwento ni Pablo ay mahalaga dahil ito ay nagpapaalala sa atin ng kailangang pagsisisi
sa ating pagtugon sa tawag ni Jesus.

What ideas or images come to mind when you hear the word “repent”?
Anong mga ideya o larawan ang naiisip mo kapag narinig mo ang salitang “magsisi”?

To repent is to turn away from something or change your mind. And that’s what Jesus calls
us to do—He wants us to turn away from our old lives and old directions and to follow Him,
instead. In fact, according to the Gospel of Matthew, repentance was the primary theme of
Jesus’ early ministry:
From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come
near!”
Ang pagsisisi ay pagtalikod sa isang bagay o pagbabago ng iyong isip. At iyon ang
tinatawag ni Jesus na gawin natin—nais Niyang talikuran natin ang ating mga dating buhay
at lumang direksyon at sa halip ay sumunod sa Kanya. Sa katunayan, ayon sa Ebanghelyo ni
Mateo, ang pagsisisi ang pangunahing tema ng unang ministeryo ni Jesus:
Mula noon ay nagsimulang mangaral si Jesus, “Magsisi kayo, sapagkat malapit na ang
kaharian ng langit!”

MATTHEW 4:17
14 After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: 15 “The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good
news!”

MARK 1:14-15

What part did repentance play in your decision to follow Jesus?

Paano naging bahagi and PAGSISI sa iyong desisyon na sundin si Jesus?

Repentance is a necessary step in answering Jesus’ call. However, it’s not a step you only
take once. We continue to wander away from God and from His mission for the world even
after we choose to follow Him.
Therefore, to be a disciple of Jesus is to live a life of repentance in which we regularly turn
away from our sin and choose once again to answer His call.
Ang pagsisisi ay isang kinakailangang hakbang sa pagsagot sa tawag ni Jesus.
Gayunpaman, hindi ito isang hakbang na isang beses mo lang gagawin. Patuloy tayong
lumalayo sa Diyos at sa Kanyang misyon para sa mundo kahit na pinili nating sundin Siya.
Samakatuwid, ang pagiging disipulo ni Hesus ay ang pamumuhay ng pagsisisi kung saan
palagi nating tinatalikuran ang ating kasalanan at pinipiling muli na sagutin ang Kanyang
tawag.

In what areas of life do you currently need to repent of your sin and return to Jesus?
Sa anong mga bahagi ng buhay mo sa kasalukuyang kailangan mong pagsisihan ang iyong
kasalanan at bumalik kay Jesus?
What steps can you take to make sure repentance is a regular part of your spiritual life?
Anong mga hakbang ang maaari mong gawin upang matiyak sa iyong espiritwal life na ang
buhay pagsisisi ay kaugalian?

MIDWEEK DISCUSSION 2
PERSONAL STUDY 2 - DISCIPLES ARE TRANSFORMED BY JESUS
It’s true that the apostle Paul made a conscious decision to repent after encountering Jesus
on the road to Damascus. He moved from completely opposing the cause of Christ—from
persecuting and even murdering Jesus’ disciples—to investing his resources in the
advancement of that cause. He completely changed the trajectory of his life.
Yet it’s also true that Paul didn’t make such a drastic turn completely on his own. He was
able to change the course of his life because he had been changed. Paul was transformed
during his encounter with Jesus—he became someone different than he had been.
Today we refer to this phenomenon as spiritual transformation. Paul himself described it best
during one of his letters to the early church:
Totoo na si apostol Pablo ay nagdesisyon na magsisi pagkatapos makaharap si Jesus sa
daan patungo sa Damascus. Siya ay ganap na pasalungat sa layunin ni Kristo—mula sa pag-
uusig at maging sa pagpatay sa mga alagad ni Jesus. Tungo sa paglalaan ng mga
mapagkukunang “resources” sa pagsulong ng layuning iyon. Binago niya nang buo ang
landas ng kanyang buhay.
Gayunpaman, totoo rin na si Paul ay hindi kaagad nagbago sa kanyang sarili. Nagawa
niyang baguhin ang takbo ng buhay niya dahil nagbago na siya. Si Paul ay nagbago sa
panahon ng kanyang pakikipagtagpo kay Jesus—siya ay naging ibang tao kaysa sa dati.

Ngayon tinutukoy natin ang hindi pangkaraniwang bagay na ito bilang espirituwal na
pagbabago. Si Pablo mismo ang pinakamahusay na naglarawan nito sa isa sa kanyang mga
liham sa unang simbahan:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look,
new things have come.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

What are some “old things” that have passed away in your life?
Ano ang ilang "mga lumang bagay “ na lumipas na sa iyong buhay?
What “new things” have you experienced after encountering Jesus?
Anong “mga bagong bagay” ang naranasan mo pagkatapos mong makaharap si Jesus?

The type of transformation we experience immediately after encountering Jesus is known as

justification. This is a legal term that highlights the guilt we all carry because of our sin. The
good news of the gospel is that when we respond to God’s call, we experience forgiveness
from our sins in a way that changes our legal standing before God—we become justified in
God’s eyes because we are covered with the righteousness of Jesus. Paul explains:
Ang uri ng pagbabagong nararanasan natin kaagad pagkatapos makatagpo si Hesus ay -
katwiran (justification). Ito ay isang legal na termino na nagbibigay-diin sa pagkakasala na
dinadala nating lahat dahil sa ating kasalanan. Ang mabuting balita ng ebanghelyo ay kapag
tumugon tayo sa tawag ng Diyos, nararanasan natin ang kapatawaran mula sa ating mga
kasalanan sa paraang magpapabago sa ating legal na katayuan sa harap ng Diyos—naging
matuwid tayo sa mata ng Diyos dahil natatakpan tayo ng katuwiran (justifaction) ni Jesus.
Ipinaliwanag ni Paul:

9 Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be
saved through Him from wrath. 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God
through the death of His Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be
saved by His life!
ROMANS 5:9-10

Read the following Scripture passages and record how they contribute to your
understanding of justification.
Basahin ang sumusunod na mga talata sa Banal na Kasulatan at itala kung paano ito
nakakatulong sa iyong pag-unawa sa pagbibigay-katwiran.
Hebrews 9:19-22
Romans 5:6-9
Galatians 2:15-16

While justification describes the spiritual transformation we experience immediately upon

encountering Jesus and choosing to follow Him, that’s not the end. In fact, to follow Jesus is
to continually be transformed so that we become more and more like Him as we continue to
follow Him. This ongoing transformation brings us closer and closer to the people God
originally designed us to be.
Habang inilalarawan ng katwiran ang espirituwal na pagbabagong nararanasan natin kaagad
kapag nakatagpo si Jesus at piniling sumunod sa Kanya, hindi iyon ang wakas. Sa
katunayan, ang pagsunod kay Hesus ay ang patuloy na pagbabagong-anyo upang lalo
tayong maging katulad Niya habang patuloy tayong sumusunod sa Kanya. Ang patuloy na
pagbabagong ito ay naglalapit sa atin at mas lalapit pa sa orihinal na idinisenyo ng Diyos na
maging tayo.

This process is known as sanctification. Once again, Paul helps us understand:

Ang prosesong ito ay kilala bilang pagpapakabanal (sanctification). Muli, tinutulungan tayo
ni Paul na maunawaan:

We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being
transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18

Do you feel you’ve regularly experienced spiritual transformation as a follower of Jesus?

Explain.
Nararamdaman mo ba na regular kang nakararanas ng espirituwal na pagbabago bilang
isang tagasunod ni Jesus? Ipaliwanag.

What obstacles are currently holding you back from having a deeper experience of spiritual
transformation?
Anong mga hadlang ang kasalukuyang pumipigil sa iyo mula sa pagkakaroon ng mas
malalim na karanasan ng espirituwal na pagbabago?
