4TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B

YOU’VE GOT THE POWER!

Ang akong nahibal-an nga mga gamhanan diha sa mga salida sa telebisyon; silang Superman, Wonderwoman, Darna, Lastik Man, Captain Barbel ug daghan pang uban. Kini nga mga karaan nga mga salida sa telebisyon nakadani ug daghan kaayong mga viewers tungod sa naangkon nilang tagsatgasa ka powers. Atong mahibal-an nga ang tanan nga gitagaan ug powers sa mga salida kadto lamang mga maayo ug buotan nga tawo. Sa katapusan sa maong pasundayag o salida nagmadaugon ang mga good and powerful.

Today, we celebrate the 4^th Sunday in Ordinary Time and our gospel speaks about the powerful words of Jesus Christ or it shows how powerful the Lord is. He speaks with authority and expel demon in the midst of the people. The action of Jesus shows that he is the Lord, the all powerful God. His words are encouraging, motivating and powerful.

My dear friends, as adopted sons and daughters of God, we also share the power of God. In baptism, we received the power as Christian believers. All baptized Christian are powerful. Knowing good or evil is power.  Helping other friends solving their own problem is power. You can even expel demons if you have such faith and this is power. Your words are powerful, especially if your words will be accompanied with your actions.

My dear friends, we've got the power and we will use these powers to help those who are in need. Use your power to help those people who are suffering from problems. Use your power to encourage those who have lost hope. Use your power for those who felt that they are alone and it seems that nobody cares for them. Use your power to light the ways of those who are in darkness.

In contrary, do not use your power to discourage other people to live. Do not use your power to destroy trust and distort the truth. Do not use your power to please your selves or your personal interests. Do not use your power to create demon inside you. 

Kon ang salida sa mga powerful heroes sa mga sinehan had encouraged many viewers then, let your power be an instruments to live a good life. Be careful with your powers since you are powerful. Use it wisely!

 Remember you've got the power!
