"The righteous will shine like the sun in the Father's kingdom"

Matthew 13:36-43

Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Tagpasidan’an kita dinhi ni Jesus na jaon ra an mga kontra nato nagbantay na an tinguha ra an pag-patay nan mga tinanum na mga pulong ni God dato para dili na ini makalambo.

Gusto ni God ihatag dato an pinaka-marajaw para sa ato mga kinabuhi.

Pero dili nato kalikajan na jaon gaju’y mokontra sa mga marajaw na tinguha ni God para dato.

An demonyo maninguha gajud na gub’on ang mga plano ni God para sa tawo.

Usahay man gani, magpaka-aron ingnon an demonyo na marajaw basta lamang makadani sa mga may hugot na pagtuo kan God.

Ugsa na dili gajud kita magkompiyansa kondili mag-ignay gajud kita sanan magpasensiya hangud na makab’ot nato an kinabuhi na tunhay kaiban si God sa kalangitan.

"Lord Jesus, may your all-consuming love rule in my heart and transform my life that I may sow what is good, worthy, and pleasing to you.”

What the kingdom of heaven is like

Matthew 13:31-35

Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened." All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

-------------------------

An sambingay ni Jesus mahitungod sa gamay na liso nan mustasa sanan gamay na lebadora nagpasabot na an gamay na pulong ni God na ato ampingan sanan palambuon amo’y maghatag dato nan kinabuhi na tunhay.

An hugot na pagtuo, amo ra ‘sab nan liso nan mustasa na kon amumahon pagdajaw, an liso nan pagtuo molambo gajud pagdako na mahimo na silunganan ‘sab para sa iban na tawo.

Kon pasag’dan lamang nato an mga pulong ni Jesus Christ na maka-gamut sa ato mga kasing-kasing, segurado na mabag’o kita kay mohuya na man dato an Holy Spirit.

Dinhi na nato ipaambit sa ato isig’katawo an mga grasya na ato nadawat gikan kan Jesus.

Andam ba ‘sab kita na mo-amuma nan ato isig’katawo pinaagi nan ato nadawat na grasya gikan kan God?

-------------------------

"Heavenly Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and transform me into the Christ-like holiness you desire. Increase my zeal for your kingdom and instill in me a holy desire to live for your greater glory."

"Many longed to see and hear what you hear"

Matthew 13:10-17

Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive. For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.' But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not  hear it.

-------------------------

Mga gasa gikan sa Holy Spirit an pagtuo sanan pagsabot para hidung’gan nan klaro an mga pulong ni God para molambo sa kana-ad’man nan Ija gugma sanan kamatuoran.

Pero nagpasidaan si Jesus na dili kon an tanan may kinaad’man para hisab’tan an Ija mga pagtudlo.

Dili makaaksiptar an scribes sanan Pharisees kan Jesus sanan sa Ija mga pulong kay nagtuo man sila na sila ra’y nakasabot sanan nahibayo sa scripture sanan sa mga balaod ni Moses.

Spritually blind sanan deaf sila kay an ila mga kasing-kasing serado naman sanan an ila mga pagsabot tagkatabonan man ila mga garbo sanan hambog.

Ipakita ra ni God an mga sekreto nan Ija kingdom sa mga tawo na mapahi’ubsanon, may pagsalig sanan moaksiptar nan ila panginahanglan kan God sanan sa Ija kamatuoran.

"Holy Spirit, be my teacher and guide. Open my ears to hear God's word and open my eyes to understand God's action in my life. May my heart never grow dull and may my ears never tire of listening to the voice of Christ."

"Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?"

Matthew 20:20-28

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom." But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?" They said to him, "We are able." He said to them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over  them. It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Gusto dinhi nan ina nan duha ka disipulo na kahatagan an ija mga anak nan gahum sanan otoridad.

Najuhot an iban na mga disipulo kay tagka-puhalan man sila sanan nagtuo man sila na kuwalipikado ‘sab sila abir kon uno’y isangon dila na otoridad.

Para sa nanay ni James sanan ni John, an gingharian ni God mahitungod sa trono sanan poder ugsa nohangjo sija kan Jesus na kon mahimo, pag-abot nan panahon, maka-posisiyon an ija mga bata.

Pero an tubag ni Jesus dila na an marka nan pagka-lider sa kingdom ni God buot ipasabot, serbisyo sa isig’katawo.

"Lord Jesus, make me a servant of love for your kingdom, that I may seek to serve rather than be served. Inflame my heart with love that I may give generously and serve joyfully for your sake."

"Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister"

Matthew 12:46-50

While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother."

---------------------

Amo-amo ra sanan may kaparehasan an mga Jews sanan an mga Habunganon.

An tawag nan mga Jews sa ila mga ta’al na manghud sanan maguyang, amo ‘sab sa mga relatives, lumon - ugsa na an tawag sa tanan, mapa-igsoon man o mapa-relatives, lumon.

Amo ra ‘sab kita – mga Habunganon.

Dinhi sa ebanghelyo, dili kon tag-etsa’puwera ni Jesus an Ija mga lumon, kondili, tag-sakop pa man gani Nija an dili Nija kon mga ta’al na mga lumon.

Kon himoon nato an kabubot’on ni God sa ato kaugalingon, kapamilya kita ni Jesus.

Magsugod an ato pagka-lumon kan Jesus kon ato sun’don an mga pulong ni God para sa ato mga kinabuhi.

Amo na tag-offer ni Jesus dinhi an Ija pagka-kapamilya dato tanan pinaagi sa pagpamati sanan pag-aksiyon sa Ija mga pulong.

---------------------

"Heavenly Father, you bless us with many relationships and you invite us into the community of your sons and daughters who have been redeemed by your son, Jesus Christ. Help me to love my neighbor with charity, kindness, compassion, and mercy, just as you have loved me. In all of my relationships, and in all that I do and say, may I always seek to bring you honor and glory."

"An adulterous generation seeks for a sign"

Matthew 12:38-42

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of  the earth. The men of Nineveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

--------------------------

Sa pag-abot ni Jesus dinhi sa kalibutan, duro an mga signus na tagpakita na makatestigos na tag-amuma gajud kita pagdajaw ni God – na mahal kita Nija ugsa na gusto Nija na masalbar kita tanan.

May mga tima’ilhan na maluloy’on gajud si God dato tanan.

Uno man an mga scribe sanan mga Pharisee nangajo pa man nan mga signus pa kan Jesus?

Kay gusto man nila maneguro kon tinood ba gajud na Son of God si Jesus sanan gusto ‘sab nila mahipamatud’an an pagka-Messiah ni Christ kay dili man sila makadawat na amo Sija.

Kon jao’y ato pagsalig sanan hugot na pagtuo, dili na kinahanglan nan dag’ko pa na mga milagro kay an gugma nato kan God amo ma’y mopa-ibabaw sa ato pagtuo.

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me"

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

---------------------

Nagpakatawo si Jesus dinhi sa kalibutan, dili kon para ikondena o paproblemahon an tawo kondili, nokanhi Sija para ipagaan an ato mga suliran sanan ihupay an ato mga kagul’anan.

Andam permi si Jesus na dawaton kita pagbalik para Nija kita pasayloon sa ato mga kasay’anan.

Magaan na yugo na ihatag Nija dato, dili kon parehas nan tagpapas’an nan mga eskriba sa mga tawo nan an kanhi pa na panahon na duro an mga regulasyon na ila tagpasunod.

An responsibilidad na tagsangon ni Jesus dato an pagbalik ra man Dija para mangajo nan pasaylo sa to mga saya hangtud na maghinulsol kita para kita Nija dawaton para sa kahimayaan ni God didto Heaven.

---------------------

"Lord Jesus, inflame my heart with love for you and for your ways and help me to exchange the yoke of rebellion for the yoke of submission to your holy and loving word. Set me free from the folly of my own sinful ignorance and rebellious pride that I may wholly desire what is good and in accord with your will."

"Heavenly things revealed to babes"

Matthew 11:25-27

At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and  understanding and revealed them to babes; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

-------------------------

Taghisgutan dinhi sa ebanghelyo kuman an pagkahiusa nan God the Father sanan nan Ija Son na si Jesus, an pagkahugpong na may isa ra ka hibayo sanan pagsabot sanan an ila pagbahin nan gahum.

Taghimaya ni Jesus an Ija Father sa paghimo Nija nan mga marajaw na butang para Dija sanan pinaagi Dija.

Tanan gahum sanan hinungdan nan taghimo sa pagtudlo sanan sa mga milagro ni Jesus, Ija tagsulti na tanan ini gikan gajiud sa Ija Father sa Heaven.

An Ija pagpakita nan mga milargo Ija taghimo dili kon para sa Ija kaugalingon kondili kon para sa Ija Father sanan sa kagustuhan nan Ija Father.

Ugsa kita ‘sab, dili kinahanglan ipanhambog nato kan God an ato mga hibayo, kapasidad sanan abilidad kay an kinahanglan ra Nija dato an ato ra paghimo nan Ija mga gusto ipahimo dato para sa Ija kahimayaan.

Kinahanglan ato gajud ihatag kan God an ato oras, mga talento sanan bahandi para mahitabo an tanan mga plano Nija dinhi sa kalibutan.

"Jesus upbraided them because they did not repent"

Matthew 11:20-24

Then he began to upbraid the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. "Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

--------------------

Uno man na tag-tungo man ni Jesus an Chorazin sanan an Bethsaida na kon boot huna-hunaon, mga lugar man ini kon diin duro an mga milagro na Ija taghimo.

Amo seguro kay waya man mahimo nan mga tawo nan ini na mga lugar an tagpaabot ni Lord dila – an paghinulsol sa ila mga kasay’anan.

Bisan puno sila nan mga langitnon na grasya gikan kan Lord, waya gihapon sila magbag’o sa ila mga kasing-kasing.

Sa ato ‘sab na parte, permanente kita na tagpadangatan nan mga gasa ni God sa ato mga kinabuhi, mga grasya sanan oportunidad na kinahanglan dili nato sayangon.

Ugsa himoon gajud nato an mga butang sanan mga buluhaton na taghuyat ni Lord na ato himoon para sa Ija kahimayaan.

Bag’ohon na nato an ato mga kasing-kasing para kita makabalik kan God, despuwes, molambo kita sa pagka-balaanon.

Kinahanglan suklian nato an pagka-marajaw ni God dato tanan.

--------------------

"He who loves father and mother more than me is not worthy of me"

Matthew 10:34 - 11:1

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward." And when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

------------------------

Gugma sanan pagka-isa sa panimayay permi an mga panultihon ni Jesus kon an hisgutan an pamilya.

Pero uno man na an Ija deklarasyon dinhi sa ebanghelyo kuman mahitungod man sa pagka-buyag-buyag hinuon sa pamilya?

Amo kay sa kaniadto na panahon, dili pa man kon tanan miyembro nan pamilya an Kristiyano ugsa na may mga lantugi sa suyod nan ila mga panimayay.

Dinhi, gusto ni Jesus na madisider gajud kita kon kanin’o kita mo-iban – tibook, kompleto sanan waya’y paglubad na pagkomiter kan God an Ija gusto.

Ugsa na kinahanglan, an pagka-kadugo, an pagka-amigo sanan an pagka-kaiban sa trabaho, dili gajud nato himoon na hinungdan para dili nato mahi-komiter an ato kaugalingon kan Jesus.

An pagsunod kan Jesus, kinahanglan jaon tag-laong na “all the way” gajud aber kon uno’y mahitabo sa ato mga kinabuhi.

"Lord, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has conceived the things you have prepared for those who love you. Set us ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit, that we may love you in and above all things and so receive the rewards you have promised us through Christ our Lord."

"You received without paying, give without paying"

Matthew 10:7-15

And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay. Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. As you enter the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

---------------------

An sumusunod kan Jesus nagsalig permi kan God na Sija amo’y mosupragar sa tanan mga kinahanglan nan tawo sa kinabuhi.

Nagatuo kita na an gahum ni God amo’y maghatag dato nan kusog sanan pamaagi para nato mahimo an Ija gusto ipahimo dato.

Waya gaju’y humpay an paghatag dato ni God nan Ija probisyon para sa ato pagkasalbar.

Ugsa na kinahanglan dili gajud kita masilaw sa mga materyal na butang para dili nato mahimo an panawagan sanan pagkomiter nato kan God.

Manilbihan kita sa ato isig’katawo na puno nan pagmahal para sila masalabar ‘sab parehas nan ato paningkamot na masalbar ‘sab kita.

Sa ato biyahe para himoon an trabaho ni God na waya’y daya nato na material na bayon, praktikal ini na mensahe na gusto lamang nato ipaabot na si Jesus an ato pinaka-bahandi sa ato mga kinabuhi.

"Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out"

Matthew 10:1-7

And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

--------------------------

Tag-habilinan ni Jesus an Ija mga disciple na ila ipadajon an Ija mga tag-himo – an pagsangyaw sa katawhan na an kahirain ni God umaabot na.

Sa pagpili ni Jesus nan Ija dose ka apostles, mga ordinaryo, dili kon propesyunal, waya’y mga bahandi sanan waya’y luna sa sosidad na mga tawo an Ija tamag-tawag.

Pero sa ila paghimo nan mga buluhaton, ekstra-ordinaryo, marajaw o ekselente an resulta nan ila mga hinimoan bisan waya’y ila kapasidad na mohimo nan gusto ni Jesus ipahimo dila.

Ugsa na kon tawagon kita ni Lord na manelbihan Dija, kinahanglan dili nato huna-hunaon na dili nato mahimo o dili kaha, waya’y ato kapasidad o hibayo na magtrabaho kay Sija ra man an mogiya dato para sa Ija kahimayaan.

Kuman, motoo ba kita na gusto ni God na magtrabaho Sija dato sanan magtrabaho Sija pinaagi dato para sa Ija kahimayaan?

"Never was anything like this seen in Israel"

Matthew 9:32-38

As they were going away, behold, a dumb demoniac was brought to him. And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons." And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

----------------------------

Nahibuyong ang mga tawo sa mga milagro na taghimo ni Jesus, pero tag-yam’iran ini nan mga lider na relihiyuso kay dili man nila madawat na Messiah si Jesus.

Nakasulti pa man gani sila na an mga milagro nan Messiah hinimoan gikan sa gahum nan diyablo.

Pero uno man na tag-dajaw man ni Jesus an may sakit na waya na unta’y paglaum na madajaw pa?

Tungod kay halayum man an pagtuo nan mga nagdaya nan may sakit kan Jesus na Sija ra gajud amo’y makahatag nan kagawasan sa ila amigo, kagawasan sa pagka-gapos sa kasay’anan.

Si Lord ra gajud an makahatag dato nan kagawasan kon mosuod kita Dija na may halayum na pagtuo sanan pagsalig.

Kuman, tag-awhag kita ni Lord na ipangaliya nato na an ebanghelyo mokaylap sa kalibutan para makab’ot nan tanan an tinood na kalipay sanan kagawasan pinaagi kan Jesus Christ.

"Lord Jesus, may your kingdom come to all who are oppressed and in darkness. Fill my heart with compassion for all who suffer mentally and physically. Use me to bring the good news of your saving grace and mercy to those around me who need your healing love and forgiveness.”

"Take heart, your faith has made you well"

Matthew 9:18-26

While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your  hand on her, and she will live." And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment; for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well." Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. And the report of this went through all that district.

--------------------------

Kan Jesus nato makita an waya’y katapusan na paghigugma ni God na Ija tagpangapud’apud dato tanan.

Taghatag ini na gugma ni Jesus na libre sanan tibook para sa kada tawo na Ija tagkasugat.

Ato nakita dinhi sa ebanghelyo na taghatagan Nija nan paglaum an babaje na dugay na antos sa ija sakit.

Amo ‘sab an nahitabo sa tatay na bagan waya na’y paglaum sa ija anak na mabuhi pa.

Dinhi nato makita an personal na pagkabayaka ni Jesus sa mga pangihanglan nan tawo sanan an ija pagka-andam mohatag nan luna para dila.

Takos ba kita na mosuod kan Jesus para kapamatian Nija an ato mga pamalihog sa pangajo Dija?

"Lord Jesus, you love each of us individually with a unique and personal love. Touch my life with your saving power, heal and restore me to fullness of life. Help me to give wholly of myself in loving service to others."

"Why do you think evil in your hearts?"

Matthew 9:1-8

And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven." And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he then said to the paralytic -- "Rise, take up your bed and go home." And he rose and went home. When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

---------------------------

Tungod sa hugot na pagtuo nan bakol sanan mga higaya nija na nagdaya dija kan Jesus, nadajaw sija sa ija sakit.

Pero uno man na an una na taghimo ni Jesus dija, aja man sija pasaylo’a nan ija mga kasay’anan?

Resulta an kasay’anan nan mga kalihukan nan gingharian nan kadug’yuman na amo’y makapi’ang sa tawo - amo’y isab hinungdan nan pagkapiang nan bakol.

Isa ra an solusyon sa kasay’anan nan bakol, an makapalimpiyo na gahum nan gugma sanan pasaylo ni Jesus.

Tagpakita ‘sab dinhi an otoridad ni Jesus na magpasaylo nan mga kasay’anan, otoridad na gikan kan God – gahum nan gugma sanan pasaylo ni God sa Ija mga anak.

May kumpiyansa ba kita na mosuod sanan mangajo nan mahigugmaon na pasaylo gikan kan Lord Jesus para sa ato mga kasay’anan?

---------------------------

"Lord Jesus, through your merciful love and forgiveness you bring healing and restoration to body, mind, and soul. May your healing power and love touch every area of my life – my innermost thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and memories. Pardon my offences and transform me in the power of your Holy Spirit that I may walk confidently in your truth and goodness."

"All came out to meet Jesus"

Matthew 8:24-34

And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.  And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them. And the demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."  And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.  The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.

--------------------

Nalooy si Jesus sa duha ka tawo na tagsaniban nan arang ka duro na mga espiritu nan demonyo.

Tagpa-layas ni Jesus an mga demonyo sa kalawasan nan duha, nan tagpa-balhin nadto sa panon nan mga baboy, despuwes, nandayagan an mga hajop sa dagat hangtud sa nangalumos sila.

Pagkatapos nan milagro, tagsugat si Jesus nan mga tawo sa siyudad kay nasuta man gajud nila na Sija ra an may gahum sanan otoridad na mopalayas nan mga demonyo.

Pero nangahadlok sila kan Jesus ugsa na nangamujo sila na moiwat Sija sa ila lugar kay base kon mas dako pa an kadaot na mahimo nan sitwasyon para dila.

Andam permi si Jesus na mohatag dato nan kagawasan sa mga butang na amo'y makapahalajo dato sa gugma ni God dato.

Sa ato parte, andam ba 'sab kita na mobija sa mga butang na makapahalajo dato sa gugma ni God sanan sa Ija gahum nan pagsalbar?

"Lord Jesus, unbind me that I may love you wholly and walk in the freedom of your way of love and holiness. May there be nothing which keeps me from the joy of living in your presence."

"Unless I see in his hands the prints of the nails, I will not believe"

John 20:24-29

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe." Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing." Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."

"Lord Jesus Christ, through your victory over sin and death you have overcome all the powers of darkness. Help me to draw near to you and to trust in your life-giving word. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and strengthen my faith in your promises and my hope in the power of your resurrection."

"Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go"

Matthew 8:18-22

Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head." Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

Kahadlok, mga panginahanglan na personal, mga pagpakabana sa iban na mga butang amo’y segurado na mopugong sa ato mga intesiyon na mosilbe kan Lord.

An pagbale-waya sa mga butang na mopugong sa ato paninguha na makapanilbihan sa Diyos amo’y kinahanglan nato mahimo kon gusto nato na si Lord amo’y ato bahandi sanan kalipay.

Waya’y pinaka-importante na buluhaton sa kalibutan na makalabaw pa kaysa sa serbisyo kan God, serbisyo na kinahanglan nato himoon para kasuklian nato an Ija karajaw.

Tag-saaran kita ni Jesus na kon andam kita na hikalim’tan an mga butang na ato tagbahandi sa kinabuhi, madawat nato sa isa ka gatos ka pilo-pilo an balor nan mga ini sanan ato ‘sab ma-eridar an kinabuhi na waya’y katapusan.

Ugsa, kinahanglan gajud na ialay nato kan God an ato kinabuhi sa tanan panahon.

"Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess you have given me. I surrender it all to you to be disposed of according to your will.  Give me only your love and your grace – with these I will be rich enough and will desire nothing more.”
