"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.

"Most High and glorious God, enlighten the darkness of our hearts and give us a true faith, a certain hope and a perfect love. Give us a sense of the divine and knowledge of yourself, so that we may do everything in fulfillment of your holy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord."
