Three Kinds of hand (Matt. 27;24-26)

three kind of hand (Matthew27;24-26) 

can you raise your hand 

can you put your hands up 

(twinkle, twinkle) thank you 

today i'd like to speak about hand 

when I was young, everytime I have stomachache 

my mother always pass her hand above my stomach 

massage it and she use to say 

my hand is medical hand (X2) 

after that it really feels comfortable 

brothers and sisters 

Emerson Ralph waldo said 

Man's hand is the tool of tools 

means among our body structure, the hand is very important 

we can do good things with our hands 

or we can do bad things with our hands 

Even desition is in our hands how to live in this world 

in other word, 

value of life depends on what kind of hand we have 

so this afternoon, i'd like to speak to you entitled  three kinds of hand 

in matthew chapter 27 there are three different hands  

1)hands of excuse 2) hands of betray  3)hands of love 

brothers and sisters 

what kind of hands do you want 

I'd like you to take the chance to decide what kind of hands you will have 

through this sermon.  

1)pilate's hand 

this hand is hand of excuse 

Pontius Pilatus was governor of Judea in the time of Jesus 

and Jesus was  brought to Pilatus by the Jewish after they had arrested him and they insisted to condemn him 

but Pilatus hesitated to condemn Jesus because he knew that Jesus was no blame 

but the Jewish kept on demanding that Jesus be crucified so that he gave Jesus to them 

and after Jesus was put to death 

Pilatus washed his hand with water in front of the crowd and he said "I am innocent of this man's blood. it is your concern". 

and he avoided responsibility for Jesus' death 

you know why? that is to maintain his position 

brothers and sisters 

is that not our hand? 

is it not our shape? 

"I am not responsible for it" 

"I don't have any mistake, you are the one" 

nobody share the responsibility 

nobody takes the responsibility 

we shifted our responsibility to somebody 

because of our pride 

because of our position 

excuse and excuse 

for example, our chapel service 

someone was assigned to play the guitar for praise and worship or for collecting offering but they do not obey 

why? because you are senior or you are already minister 

I tell you something 

if you do not obey small thing 

how could you obey the word of God? 

brothers and sisters 

let us share our responsibility in the eyes of the Lord 

our hand should not be the hand of excuse but the hand of responsibility and obedience 

2) hand of betrayal 

it is Judas hand 

Judas was called by Jesus as his disciple 

and he work with him for 3 years 

but when he realized that Jesus will be crucified 

he was so disappointed 

he was thinking that Jesus will become king of Israel 

then he will get some position 

but, when his dream has been dashed 

he decided to  betray him 

but Jesus already knew his mind 

while Jesus was eating together with his disciples 

he said  "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me." 

They were  all surprised and sad, 

they began to speak with him one after the other, 

"it is not me (X2)" 

Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me." 

when Judas put the sauce in his bread 

he touched Jesus Hand 

and Judas ask  "surely not I Rabbi?" 

and Jesus said "it is you." 

brothers and sisters 

nowadays, still many people are like this 

they betray  

they are cheating and defraud 

and they get money. 

they hand over Jesus to the enemies 

they sell Jesus and they become rich 

I tell you one story 

there is I peso coin and 1000 peso bill meet each other 

and 1000 peso bill said 

you know I have been in all the nice restaurant jollibee, 

chow king and yellow cab and so on 

then the one peso coin started to tell him 

you know I have been in all the churches of AG. methodist, 

wesleyan and so on because they use me to give offering 

brothers and sisters 

it is funny story but there is meaning 

when we minister many times we fall into temptation 

because of money 

as some one said we work hard and we pay less 

but we have to know this one 

we belong to God 

we are in God's hand 

so if we follow his will and faithful to him 

he will provide what you need 

so seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these thing will be given to you as well amen 

  

3 Hand of Love 

his hand is Jesus hand 

he nailed in his hand because of our sin 

and he died for us because he love us 

his hand made someone stand when they fall down 

his hand healed someone who had sickness 

his hand is hand of release for those who are suffering 

brothers and sisters 

what kind of hand do you want to be 

hand of excuse 

hand of betray 

or hand of love 

brothers and sisters 

I want all you become a hand of love 

then how to become hand of love 

commit our lives into the potters hand 

then he will mold us 

he will equip us as his will 

and he will use us for his glory and his kingdom 

I conclude my sermon with one story 

some missionary sent me email 

that is from africa 

I will read 

JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON. VERY SOON . BE PREPARED!!! 

In the public hospital of Itagua?(RJ) last weekend was born a girl with hands joined together, 

like one who's praying. 

The doctors told the parents that they would operate the hands of that girl, 

and that they would give her antistatic. 

The operation was easy because it seemed like the hands were simple glued together 

one membrane (skin) layer apart. 

When they opened up the hand of that child, you can't imagine what was written... 

[JESUS IS COMING BACK...] 

The doctors started weeping and all that were in the hospital. 

The suburb of Itagua?is undergoing a movement now, 

People that have withdrawn from church are going back and others are receiving Jesus Christ as the only savior. 

God send that child simply to convey that message. 

After a few hours she died : JESUS IS COMING BACK 

I have received now I'm passing on!!! 

The Lord of Lords is coming back. 

'Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call you upon Him while He is near:' Isaiah 55:6
