Our Gospel for Dec 2. The Two Foundations.

Mt 7:21,24-27

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”

Ang Matalino at Mangmang na Tagapagpatayo

Mateo 7:21,24-27

Hindi ang bawat isa na nagsasabi sa akin: Panginoon, Panginoon, ay makakapasok sa paghahari ng langit, kundi ang gumagawa ng kalooban ng aking Ama na nasa langit.

Kaya nga, ang sinumang dumirinig sa mga pananalita kong ito at isinasagawa ang mga ito, ay maihahalintulad ko sa isang lalaking matalino na nagtayo ng kaniyang bahay sa ibabaw ng bato. Bumuhos ang ulan at bumaha. Umihip ang malakas na hangin at hinampas ang bahay na iyon, ngunit hindi bumagsak. Ito ay sapagkat itinayo niya iyon sa ibabaw ng bato. Ang bawat isa na dumirinig ng mga pananalita kong ito at hindi isinasagawa ay maihahalintulad ko sa isang lalaking mangmang na nagtayo ng kaniyang bahay sa ibabaw ng buhanginan. Bumuhos ang ulan at bumaha. Umihip ang malakas na hangin at hinampas ang bahay na iyon. Bumagsak ito at lubusang nawasak.

The rain and the floods signifies inevitable problems we will face in our lives. But to those who hang on to the words of God are those who will withstand the test of times because If God is for us, who can be against us?- Romans 8-31

For those who do not believe in this promise, facing problems and trials will be much much difficult and troublesome for them.

So why take the hard way? All we have to do is to ask God for His help and believe that He will find the solution to our problems. Afterall, He is our ever powerful living God.

Good morning!
