John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30
After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand. But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? Yet we know where this man comes from; and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from." So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me." So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

Uno man kaha an makapugong dato para dili kita makahimo nan mga butang na gusto ni God ipa’himo dato?
Kahadlok, hilabina an kahadlok sa kamatajon – amo’y ini kusog na mowag’tang nan ato katakos na mohimo nan mga butang na ensaksto.
Pero para kan Jesus, klaro karajaw an Ija misyon dinhi sa kalibutan – determinado Sija na himoon Nija an kagustan nan Ija Father, pero andam ‘sab Sija na sagubangon an sakripisyo sanan pag-antos na magtapos nan Ija kamatajon sa krus.
Andam si Jesus na mag-antos sanan magpakamatay sa krus para lamang kita masalbar sa ato mga kasay’anan batok kan Lord sanan makapanumbalik kita sa ato relasyon kan God the Father.
Sa personal na kapasidad, andam ba ‘sab kaha kita na suklian an taghimo ni Jesus para dato pinaagi sa ato pagka-masun’danon sa mga sugo ni God dato?

“Eternal God, who are the light of the minds that know you, the joy of the hearts that love you, and the strength of the wills that serve you; grant us so to know you, that we may truly love you, and so to love you that we may fully serve you, whom to serve is perfect freedom, in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
