27042016 Gospel Jn 16:1-8

Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.

Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”

Uno man kaha’y buot ipasabot gajud nan “mamunga (nan duro)” sa mga pulong ni Jesus dinhi sa ato Ebanghelyo kuman na adlaw?

Seguro molaong kita na an buot ipasabot nan “mamunga” – produktibo sa mga material na mga butang, marajaw na resulta nan mga pangalimbasog nato o dili kaha, mga marajaw na akomplisment sa ato mga kinabuhi.

Pero, para sa ako, an buot ipasabot nan ini: kon uno gajud an ato mahimo sa ato Kristiyano na kinabuhi para nato mahisangyaw an marajaw na balita mahitungod sa pagkasalbar.

Sa ato paningkamot na makahimo nan mga buluhaton para kan God, dili kita kinahanglan na mahuyop kon un’hon nato paghimo nan mga ini kay tagsaad na man daan ni Jesus na permi kita Nija ibanan sa ato mga panaw pinaagi sa Espiritu Santo na Ija tagpadaya dato sa matag adlaw.
