Tao Rin Sya

The gospel today reminds me that Jesus is a human being like us. Yes, he is the Son of God, but at the same time, he is also a human being. Cool no? This just means that he had problems, temptations, and other things we experience. He worked, being a son of a carpenter. He studied. He gets hungry and eats. He gets frustrated like we do. He gets angry. He gets happy. He really is one with us, except on sin. It’s nice to think of this aspect of Jesus from time to time – that he is both God and human.

Knowing this, we can relate to him more. It is easier to have a personal relationship with him since he knows exactly what we are going through. How amazing is that. How blessed are we to be have a God that totally understands us – because he loves us so much he sent his only son to be like one like us, to be one with us.

During times of challenges, it is great to remember that Jesus knows exactly what we are going though, and by praying and having faith in Him, he can help us out, he can tell us how to act, how to trust in God. As we prepare ourselves, may we also know that he doesn’t expect a lot of fancy things. He just wants what we can give freely for Him. Tao rin sya, alam nya ano mabibigay natin, alam nya paano tayo makakapaghanda para sa pagdating nya.

God bless!
