Mark 10:17-27
And as he was setting
out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him,
"Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus
said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You
know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do
not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" And
he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth." And
Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing;
go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow me." At that saying his countenance fell, and he
went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked around and
said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to
enter the kingdom of God!" And the disciples were amazed at his words. But
Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom
of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of God." And they were exceedingly
astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at
them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all
things are possible with God."

Nam’rublema an batan’on
na kuwartahan pagkatapos sija tubaga ni Jesus sa ija pangutana kon uno’y ija
himoon para makab’ot nija an kahimayaan sa langit.
Inhibay’an nija na
mahal sija ni Jesus pero sa pagtubag ni Jesus dija na kinahanglan ibaligja nija
an ija mga kabtangan despuwes ipangapud-apud sa mga pobre pagkatapos mosunod
sija kan Lord, naguol sija kay dili man sija maka-ako na bijaan nija an ija mga
bahandi.
Mas gusto nan batan’on
nan kalipay sanan seguridad segun sa ija tanag’ija na bahandi kaysa sa
magpa-ambit sija nan ija mga tanag’ija sa mga pobre – pagpakita nan ija gugma
sanan serbisyo na tinood sa isig'katawo.
Uno man kaha na
ipabaligja man ni Jesus an mga kabtangan nan mga disciple?
Amo kay may espesyal man
na koneksiyon an treasure sa kasing-kasing na amo’y lugar nan ato mga
kagustuhan sa kinabuhi.
Kon uno’y kagustuhan
na nahimutang sa ato kasing-kasing, amo 'sab ini an mahimutang na prayoridad sa ato
kinabuhi.
Buot ipasabot na
kinahanglan an ato ibutang na prayoridad sa ato kinabuhi an ato suod na
relasyon kan God.

"Lord Jesus, you
have captured our hearts and opened to us the treasures of heaven. May you
always be my treasure and delight and may nothing else keep me from giving you
my all."
