20170703 Gospel Jn 20:24-29

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But Thomas said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

Reflection:

Segurista karajaw si Thomas kay para dija, to-see-is-to-believe man gajud para mapruweba an mga estorya na ija nadawat mahitungod sa pagpakita ni Jesus sa mga disciple.

Makita nato dinhi na tinood ra gajud na tawo si Thomas kay may pagduha-duha man sija sa kamatuoran, amo ma’y bagad nan tawo na dili dajon motuo unabes kon waya’y ebedinsiya.\

Sa ato adlaw-adlaw na mga kinabuhi, hilabina dinhi sa ato paghuya sa masamok na siyudad, duro ‘sab an ato mga sitwasyon na nanginahanglan nan kamatuoran adeser kita motuo, hilabina kuman na na-uso na an fake news dinhi sa Manila.

Pero kon an ato hisgutan an mahitungod kan God, dili na kinahanglan pa nan kamatuoran kay Sija man gajud an tinood na kamatuoran.

Ugsa kinahanglan gajud na dili molubad an ato hugot na pagtuo kan God kay Sija man an taga-mugna nan tanan butang dinhi sa kalibutan na ato kuman taghuy’an  sanan sa kalangitan na ato pasing’dan pag-abot nan panahon.
