John 10:31-42
The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus.
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him,
“We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.”
“We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.”
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, ‘You are gods”‘? If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and Scripture cannot be set aside, can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said,
‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
Then they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
He went back across the Jordan
to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained. Many came to him and said,
“John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.” And many there began to believe in him.

Ginagawa mong Diyos ang sarili mo, ikaw na isang tao.
Juan 10:31-42
Muli ngang dumampot ng mga bato ang mga Judio upang siya ay batuhin. Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus: Maraming mabubuting gawa ang ipinakita ko sa inyo mula sa aking Ama. Alin sa mga gawang iyon ang dahilan para batuhin ninyo ako?
Sumagot ang mga Judio sa kaniya na sinasabi: Hindi ka namin binabato dahil sa anumang mabuting gawa kundi dahil sa iyong pamumusong. Ginagawa mong Diyos ang sarili mo, ikaw na isang tao.
Tinugon sila ni Jesus: Hindi ba nasusulat sa inyong kautusan: Aking sinabi na kayo ay mga diyos?
Tinawag niyang mga diyos ang mga tao, na sa pamamagitan nila ay dumating ang salita ng Diyos. At ang kasulatan ay hindi masisira. Sinasabi ninyo sa kaniya na pinabanal at isinugo ng Ama sa sanlibutan: Ikaw ay nanlalait. Ito ba ay dahil sa sinabi ko: Ako ay Anak ng Diyos?
Kung hindi ko ginagawa ang mga gawa ng aking Ama, huwag kayong sumampalataya sa akin. Kung ginagawa ko, kahit hindi kayo sumampalataya sa akin, sampalatayanan ninyo ang mga gawa.
Ito ay upang malaman ninyo at sumampalataya na ang Ama ay nasa akin at ako ay nasa kaniya. Muli nga silang naghanap ng pagkakataon upang hulihin siya, ngunit siya ay nakatakas mula sa kanilang mga kamay.
Siya ay muling pumunta sa ibayo ng Jordan, sa dakong pinagbawtismuhan ni Juan noong una. Siya ay nanatili roon. Marami ang pumunta sa kaniya at sinabi: Totoong si Juan ay hindi gumawa ng tanda. Ang lahat ng mga bagay na sinabi ni Juan patungkol sa taong ito ay totoo. Marami roon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus.

There are times when we are very brave and in a fighting mood. We want to change the world, to conquer heights, to prove things, to move mountains, or to throw rocks. But this cannot go on forever. We cannot always be in a defensive and offensive mood.
Time will come when we must face and accept things as they are, wait instead of pushing, understand instead of condemning, and sit instead of cursing. Then we can relax and be at peace with ourselves, knowing that we have done our part, have not cowered while others backed away, have given and taken while keeping the faith and believing.
Jesus lives not to push a teaching but to share God’s life.
In Psalm 46:11, the lord said:"Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."
Let's spend the day without a word of complaint.
May God continue to bless us all forever!
Ref: 365 days with the lord.
