20170725 Gospel Mt 20:20-28

The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, "What do you wish?" She answered him, "Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom." Jesus said in reply, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?" They said to him, "We can." He replied, "My chalice you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Reflection:

Waya magpalandong an nanay ni James sanan ni John kon uno’y epekto nan ija tangajo kan Jesus na mga posisyon na sa pagtuo nija, mga posisyon sa kalibutanon na kaharian na imugna ni Lord.

Dinhi nato hikit’i na waya pa gajud nila hisab’ti pagdajaw an serbisyo nan ila Master kon uno na klase ini na mga buluhaton.

Pero, imbis na katigorikal an tubag ni Jesus, taggamit hinoon Nija ini na okasyon para katudluan sila mahitungod sa kamatuoran nan pagka-bantugan.

Tagpasabot ni Jesus dila na an pagka-bantugan nakabase sa serbisyo na ipadangat nan tawo nadto sa ija isigkatawo, dili kon pila ka tawo an nag-serbisyo dija.

Kasing-kasing, dili kon hibayo o edukasyon an kuwalipikasyon o kinahanglan sa pagpanilbihan nan tawo sa ija isigkatawo.

Kinahanglan gajud na inubnub nato sa ato mga huna-huna sanan sa ato mga kasing-kasing an mga leksiyon dato ni Jesus na an mapahiub’sanon na serbisyo amo’y dayan patunong nadto sa pagka-bantugan.
