20161019 Gospel Lk 12:39-48

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” And the Lord replied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”

Sa kada gutlo nan ato mga kinabuhi, kinahanglan preparado kita permi.

Permi kita makahibalag nan mga surprisa sa adlaw-adlaw nato mga kinabuhi, pero an ato pagtratar nan mga ini, ordinaryo ra kay lagi, adlaw-adlaw man ini mga panhitabo dato.

Matam’is an isa ka surprisa kon madawat nato ini na gasa gikan kan God pero waya nato ini paabota.

Usahay mangutana pa man gani kita kon uno man na inhatag man ni God inin surprisa na gasa dako.

May plano an Diyos kon uno’y ato himoon sa Ija surprisa na gasa para dato – dili kon para sa ato disposisyon ini.

Pero an kinahanglan nato preparahan sa ato mga kinabuhi, an surprisa na pagbalik ni Jesus dinhi sa kalibutan para ipadangat an Ija paghukom sa tanan mga buhi sanan mga patay.

Preparado ba kita na moatubang sa ato Maghuhukom pag’abot nan panahon?
