20170705 Gospel Mt 8:28-34

When Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?" Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding. The demons pleaded with him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go then!" They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.

Reflection:

Kamatuoran o reyalidad an pagkatawo nan mga diyablo sanan inhibay’an na nato na an mga demonyo dili motahud sa pagka-Diyos ni God sugod pa sa sinug’dan na kalibutan.

Dinhi sa situwasyon kuman sa ebanghelyo, deretso rakan unta na inpa-antos o dili kaha, inkastigo ni Jesus an mga espiritu nan demonyo.

Pero aja pa hinoon hatagi ni Jesus nan luna an hangjo nan mga diyablo na mosuyod sa mga baboy.

Hikit’an nato dinhi na bisan sa mga demonyo, nagpakita pa gihapon si Jesus nan kalooy.

Pero an mga lungsoranon sa lugar gusto na maiwat si Jesus sa ila lungsod ka nahadlok sila na kaapektuhan an ila mga negosyo – ila inpalabon an ila mga negosyo kaysa sa ila mga espiritu.
