20170227 Gospel Mk 10:17-27

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."

Pamalandong:

Tagpakita dato kuman sa Ebanghelyo an isa ka kuwartahan na ulitawo na nagutana kan Jesus nan pinaka-basic na pangutana: “Uno’y angajan nako himoon para makab’ot nako an kinabuhi na waya’y katapusan?”

Klaro katajaw an tubag ni Jesus para dato na an pinaka-minimum para kita madawat sa Kaharian an pag-obserbar o an pagsunod sa napuyo ka mga sugo ni God.

Pero dili kita magpaka-kampante ra sa marka na 75% kon an pagsunod ra sa mga sugo ni God kundili kinahanglan ambisyunan gajud nato an pinaka-hataas na marka – an mahimo kita na tagasunod ni Jesus isip mga disipulo Nija.

Kuman, andam na ba kita na moatubang kan God?
