Our Gospel for Mar 10. Losing life to save it.

Luke 9:22-25

Jesus said to his disciples:
“The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,and be killed and on the third day be raised.” Then he said to all,
“If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?”
  
Tanggihan ang Sarili at Sumunod sa Akin

Lucas 9:22-25

Sinabi niya: Kinakailangang ang Anak ng tao ay dumanas ng maraming bagay. At siya ay tanggihan ng mga matanda at mga pinunong-saserdote at mga guro ng kautusan. Siya ay papatayin at ibabangon sa ikatlong araw.
Sinabi niya sa lahat: Kung ang sinuman magnanais na sumunod sa akin, tanggihan niya ang kaniyang sarili. Pasanin niya araw-araw ang kaniyang krus at sumunod sa akin. Ito ay sapagkat ang sinumang nagnanais na magligtas ng kaniyang buhay ay mawawala niya ito. 
Ang sinumang mawalan ng buhay alang-alang sa akin ay maililigtas niya ito. Ito ay sapagkat ano ang pakikinabangan ng tao kung matamo man niya ang buong sanlibutan at mapapahamak naman ang kaniyang sarili?

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ------John 3:16-17

I would like to share with you some of my own interpretation to follow Christ:

1. Always maintain a helping spirit to our brothers and sisters.
2. Accepting and forgiving the weakness of everyone including yourself. Not being judgmental of others.
3. Finding out how to serve your neighbor in any little way you can.
4. Sacrificing for others sake.
5. Offering unconditional Love.
6. Spreading the Word of God.
7. 100% obedience to God's commandment.
8. Not being materialistic and being content with what I got.
9. Avoiding the 7 deadly sins.
10. Looking at problems as trials to become a better person.

Lord, I may not be a strong as you are but please allow me to serve you until my last day on earth and if I pass, I would also like to serve you more in your Kingdom.

Dear God, please be our Lord and Savior forever!
