Proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Our Gospel for April 30, 2011

Mark 16:9-15




When Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week,
he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told his companions who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

After this he appeared in another form to two of them walking along on their way to the country. They returned and told the others; but they did not believe them either.

But later, as the Eleven were at table, he appeared to them
and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart
because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised. He said to them, 

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

Ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa lahat ng nilikha.

Marcos 16:9-15

9Nang si Jesus ay bumangon sa unang araw ng sanlinggo, siya ay unang nagpakita kay Maria na taga-Magdala. Siya ang babaeng na may pitong demonyo na pinalabas ni Jesus. 

10Umalis si Maria at isinalaysay ito sa mga naging kasama ni Jesus na namimighati at tumatangis. 11Isinalaysay niya na si Jesus ay buhay at kaniyang nakita. Ngunit nang marinig nila ito, hindi nila ito pinaniwalaan.
  
 12Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, nagpakita si Jesus sa dalawang alagad sa ibang kaanyuan. Siya ay nagpakita habang ang mga ito ay naglalakad patungo sa kanilang bukid. 13Nang bumalik sila ay isinalaysay nila ito sa mga iba nilang kasama. Hindi rin sila naniwala sa kanila.



 14Pagkatapos nito, nagpakita siya sa labing-isang alagad habang sila ay nakadulog sa hapag kainan. Pinagwikaan niya sila sa kanilang kawalan ng pananampalataya at katigasan ng puso. Ito ay sapagkat hindi nila pinaniwalaan ang mga salita ng mga nakakita sa kaniya na muling nabuhay.  
 15Sinabi niya sa kanila: Humayo kayo sa buong sanlibutan. Ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa lahat ng nilikha.

When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. At times it is easier and more convenient for us to remain mourning and weeping than to believe. Afraid to get hurt again, we sulk in our corners, pity ourselves, and feel like martyrs or unwilling orphans. It seems safer to hide and wallow in our misery. This is why the Lord rebukes the disciples for their unbelief and hardness of heart.

The Lord is risen. We have been saved and forgiven. Let us live as saved and redeemed people. Let us claim our blessedness and enjoy our freedom. Let us go out and breathe the air of peace and joy.

When her husband died, a friend of mine practically locked herself in her room. After the death anniversary of her husband, however, she asked me to drive her to the sea. I was blessed to see her enjoy the wind and the peace of finally offering her husband to the Lord. The following week, she took her children to the same trip to enjoy the same liberation.

Go out into the world and live!

Take a trip out of town with your loved ones.
