20171025 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."

Reflection:

Klaro karajaw dinhi sa ebanghelyo nato kuman an ato obligasyon kan God isip mga Kristiyano na kinahanglan tung’dan nato an ato adlaw-adlaw na obligasyon sa ato isigkatawo pinaagi sa ato pangsangyaw nan Marajaw na Balita nan pagka-salbar sa kasay’anan.

An marajaw na pormula para mahimo nato an ato trabaho para kan God an pag-diskubre anay nan kagustuhan o will Nija para katung’dan nato nan waya’y hunong an ato pag-preparar nan ini.

Sanan, marajaw gajud seguro na magamit nato an hinatag ni God na talento (talent), hibayo (knowledge), oras (time) sanan bahandi (resources) para sa ato serbisyo para sa kahimayaan ni God.

Ugsa, kinahanglan permi gajud nato pasalamatan si God sa Ija paghatag dato nan talent, knowledge, time sanan treasure para kita maka-panilbihan Dija para sa Ija kahimayaan.
