"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."
