20170405 Gospel Jn 8:31-42

Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, "If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. A slave does not remain in a household forever, but a son always remains. So if the Son frees you, then you will truly be free. I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are trying to kill me, because my word has no room among you. I tell you what I have seen in the Father's presence; then do what you have heard from the Father."

They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works of Abraham. But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God; Abraham did not do this. You are doing the works of your father!" So they said to him, "We were not born of fornication. We have one Father, God." Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me."

Pamalandong:

An kagawasan dili lamang kon mahitungod sa pisikal na kaluwasan kay amo ma’y una ini nato hikit’an, pero dili ini kon garantiya nan ato hingpit na kaluwasan.

May pisikal kita na kagawasan, pero adlaw-adlaw, daya-daya nato an ato pagka-preso sa ato mga kasay’anan batok kan Lord kay waya man nato ini ika-pangajo nan pasaylo Dija sanan waya man ‘sab nato ini hinulsuli.

Ugsa tag-imbitar kita ni Jesus para sa hingpit na pag-eksperiyensiya nan kinabuhi sa kagawasan para kita mabuhi ‘sab sa kamatuoran.

Uno man kaha’y ato rason para dili nato dawaton an imbitasyon ni Jesus para sa tinood na kagawasan?

An ato desisyon para sanan batok sa gahum ni Jesus amo’y mag-determinar kon uno an klase na mamahimo sa ato kinabuhi dinhi sa kalibutan.
