09082016 Gospel Mt 18:1-5, 10, 12-14

The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”

Para sa mga mapahi’ubsanon an Kaharian sa langit, ugsa na inkumpara ni Jesus an pagkamapahi’ubsanon nan bata kay permi man ini nagapahiubos – kon dili kita magpaka-bata, dili ‘sab kita makasuyod sa Kaharian sa langit.

Kon sin’o ‘sab kuno ang modawat sa mga bata, laong pa ni Jesus, dawaton ‘sab kuno Nija.

Tagpasidan’an kita dinhi ni Jesus na kinahanglan dili gajud nato pagbiay-biajon an mga bata kay binantajan sila permi nan ila mga anghel sa kalangitan.

Dinhi na ‘sab Nija isulti an susambingay mahitungod sa nawaya na isa ka karnero, despuwes tag-bijaan anay nan tagabantay an nobenta’y nuebe para lamang hanapon an isa na nawaya.

Despuwes, arang karajaw na kalipay nan tagabantay kay hinbagtan na nija an isa kaysa sa nobenta’y nuebe na waya mangawaya.

Dako seguro na kalipay ni God kon “mag-balik-loob” kita Dija!
