1:16-20 Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa tabi ng lawa ng Galilea, nakita niya si Simon at ang kapatid nitong si Andres. Sila ay naghahagis ng lambat sa lawa sapagkat sila ay mga mangingisda . Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila : Sumunod kayo sa akin at gagawin ko kayong mga mamamalakaya ng tao . Kaagad na iniwan nila ang kanilang mga lambat at sumunod sa kaniya .
Nang sila ay malayo-layo na , nakita niya si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo at ang kapatid nitong si Juan. Sila ay nasa kanilang bangka at naghahayuma ng kanilang mga lambat . Agad din silang tinawag ni Jesus. Iniwan nila sa bangka ang kanilang amang si Zebedeo kasama ang mga upahang katulong , at sumunod kay Jesus. 1:16-20

The Passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ The heart of our Christian faith The center of the gospel
ST. LUKE 23:26-43 The Gospel According to
THE CROSS Sign of humiliation Sign of punishment
THE CROSS of CHRIST The visible sign of Christ’s passion Jesus changed the usual notion of the cross It became the sign of salvation It became the sign of love
Sa kabila ng kabigatan ng krus na dinala niya dahil sa kasalanang ibinintang sa kanya ay nakuha pa rin ni Jesus na maawa , magpatawad at magmahal
Jesus carried his cross FAITHFULLY
“Lord, sana mawala na ang lahat ng problema ko ”
“Lord, tulungan mo ako , bigyan mo ako ng lakas at tapang na harapin at kayanin ang problemang ito ”
Hindi ibibigay ng Diyos ang krus na dala natin kung alam niyang di natin ito kaya
Ang sinumang hindi magpasan ng sariling krus at sumunod sa akin ay hindi maaaring maging alagad ko Lucas 14:27
“Without the cross we are not Christians” --Pope Francis
Commitment is carrying our own crosses faithfully ! Be Fruitful in carrying our crosses!
Death of Christ
“Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return”
Mamamatay ka rin !
Isang realidad na nakakatakot ngunit siguradong darating
DEATH Nakakatakot ? It’s the end of our temporal and physical life. It is a separation
Death of Christ Luke 23:44-49
It was a sacrifice because it was an act of offering and immolation
It brought us to life It restored the relationship between the Father and His people
Jesus Christ died not for his own sake but for the sake of the world
COMMITMENT is dying to oneself
The Resurrection of JESUS
John 20:11-18
Ang muling pagkabuhay ni Jesus ang tugatog ng kanyang buhay
Si Jesus ay nagtagumpay !
Nasaan na Siya ?
It was an experience of hopelessness
Commitment is to be hopeful and messengers of hope
