1. Matthew 28: 5-6 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

3. Usually found in Fairy Tales.. It’s a stock phrase signifying a Happy Ending.. “Happy Ending” When the main characters win When the goals of the main characters are met When the storyline goes according to what we expected it to (“positively”) end Fairy tales teach us important lessons.. To dream, to endure trials, and to be victorious..

4. However, in reality... Dreams seems impossible to achieve Trials seems impossible to withstand And failure/defeat/loss is part of life..

5. How Do We Deal With The Impossible?

6. By Faith.. Mark 11:23 "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and DOES NOT DOUBT IN THEIR HEART but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” Filipinos are blessed people… -skillful, loving, God-fearing, and very fit for survival quests Douglas McArthur said, “Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.” Bamboo “akala nila may anting-anting ako.. Ngunit di nila alam na Dios ang dahilan ko..”

7. Sometimes Our Greatest Enemy is Ourselves… Negative Thoughts Pride Inferiority complex Superiority complex Ignorance and refusal to learn We should overcome our weaknesses to unleash our full potentials..

8. Christ Taught Us… 1.Trust God always and be obedient to Him (Luke 11:28) Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice." 2. Nothing is Impossible with God (Matthew 19:26) “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’” 3. Try God’s Faithfulness (Psalm 36:5) "Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds."

9. Reflection: “Happily Ever After” is not only in fairy tales.. God already has prepared the best for us..so that we will all have Happy Ending.. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the L ORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. If you are confused or in doubt.. Just look back to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.. Christ defeated the IMPOSSIBLE enemy which is Death.. 1 Corinthians 15:55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
