20170724 Gospel Mt 12:38-42

Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." He said to them in reply, "An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here. At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here."

Reflection:

Para sa tawo na tunood an pagtuo, waya na’y kinahanglan nan signus, pero para sa tawo na waya gaju’y pagtuo, waya’y supisiyente na signus an maka-patuo dija.

Duro na an mga milagro na nahimo si Jesus pero tungod sa katig’a nan mga kasing-kasing nan Pharisees, gusto pa gajud nila na mangajo nan signus gikan Dija para ipruweba na Messiah Sija.

Marajaw kay para dato kuman, dili gajud kon malisod karajaw na nosalig ensigeda kita kan God.

Pero, usahay, mosangko kita sa tentasyon na magutana o dili kaha, mangajo nan signus gikan kan God para sa Ija presensiya sanan sa Ija pagbuot.

Pagsalig sanan kapabilidad na nagatuo kita kan God amo ra’y kinahanglan na ato batunan sa ato espiritwal na kinabuhi.
