Sunday (November 10): "All live to him"

Gospel: Luke 20:27-38

There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children; and the second and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.  Afterward the woman also died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."

And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of  Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him."

Reflection:

Nangutana datô kuman si Jesus kon motuo ba kita sa resurrection sanan sa saad ni God nan waya’y katapusan na kinabuhi kaiban Sija sa langit?

An Holy Spirit na tagpahuyâ ni Jesus sa atô mga kasing-kasing amo’y nagpakitâ datô nan kamatuoran nan dili matugkad na gugma sanan waya’y katapusan na kinabuhi na gusto Nija ipa-ambit datô tanan hangtud sa kahangturan.

An saad nan Paraiso - langit’non na grasya sanan waya’y katapusan na kinabuhi kaiban si God - dili natô matugkad sa atô mga isip.

Kuman, nabuhi ba kita sa kalipay sanan pag-asa sa kinabuhi para sa mosunod na mga panahon?

"May the Lord Jesus put his hands on our eyes also, for then we too shall begin to look not at what is seen but at what is not seen. May he open the eyes that are concerned not with the present but with what is yet to come, may he unseal the heart's vision, that we may gaze on God in the Spirit, through the same Lord, Jesus Christ, whose glory and power will endure throughout the unending succession of ages."
