"Dayon Nagpili Siya Sang Dose Nga Iya Mangin Kaupod"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Marcos 3:13-19)
Pagkatapos sadto, nagtaklad si Jesus sa bukid kag gintawag niya ang luyag niya nga pilion. Gani nagpalapit sila sa iya.

Dayon nagpili siya sang dose nga iya mangin kaupod [nga iya man gintawag nga mga apostoles] kag agod iya ipadala sa pagpangwali.

Ini nga mga tawo ginhatagan niya sing gahom agod magtabog sang malaot nga mga espiritu.

Amo ini ang dose nga iya ginpili: si Simon (nga iya ginhingalanan nga Pedro), sila ni Santiago kag ni Juan nga mga anak ni Zebedeo (ginhingalanan sila nga Boanerges nga ang buot silingon, mga anak sang daguob), si Andres, si Felipe, si Bartolome, si Mateo, si Tomas, si Santiago nga anak ni Alfeo, si Tadeo, si Simon (nga sang una rebelde sa gobyerno sang Roma), kag si Judas Iscariote nga amo ang nagluib kay Jesus.

Meditation:

What is God's call on your life? When Jesus embarked on his mission he chose twelve men for the task of preaching the kingdom of God and healing the sick in the power of that kingdom. In the choice of the twelve, we see a characteristic feature of God's work: Jesus chose very ordinary people. They were non-professionals, who had no wealth or position. They were chosen from the common people who did ordinary things, had no special education, and no social advantages. Jesus wanted ordinary people who could take an assignment and do it extraordinarily well. He chose these men, not for what they were, but for what they would be capable of becoming under his direction and power. When the Lord calls us to serve, we must not shrug back because we think that we have little or nothing to offer. The Lord takes what ordinary people, like us, can offer and uses it for greatness in his kingdom. Do you make your life an offering to the Lord and allow him to use you as he sees fit?

"Lord Jesus, fill me with gratitude and generosity for all you have done for me. Take my life and all that I have as an offering of love for you, who are my All."
