22082016 Gospel Mt 23:13-22

Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the Kingdom of heaven before men. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make one convert, and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves.

“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If one swears by the temple, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.’ Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred? And you say, ‘If one swears by the altar, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.’ You blind ones, which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it; one who swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it; one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who is seated on it.”

Repleksiyon:

An pagpanudlo nan mga scribe sanan mga Phasrisee mahitungod sa Kingdom of heaven dili gajud matawag nato na hingpit sanan tinood kay dili man kon amo an kakat-unan nan mga tawo.

Embis na karajawan para mahilangit an mga tinudluan, aja man hinoon sila ka himo na mga makasasaya kay lain man an intudlo nan mga scribe sanan mga Pharisee.

Ugsa na tagpamabaan ni Jesus ini’n mga nagtudlo sa mga tawo kay dili man kon amo an ila pagtudlo para mapreparar nila an ila mga kaugalingon patunong nadto sa langit.

Kita, andam ba ‘sab kita na modawat nan mga pagtudlo na tinood gikan mismo kan Jesus na ato Savior?
