Consider Jesus (Hebrews 3:1–6)

Everyday kasi, nahaharap tayo sa temptations na mananatili ba tayong faithful kay Cristo o babaling tayo sa ibang mga bagay, babalik sa dati nating buhay, magtitiwala sa mga bagay at mga tao sa mundong ito na para bang sila ang “saviors” natin. Ito ang temptation na kinakaharap ng mga Jewish Christians na malamang na primary readers ng Hebrews. Although hindi tayo sigurado kung sino talaga ang author nito, alam natin na ito ay salita ng Diyos na nagbibigay ng paalala (at warnings din) sa kanila at sa atin din.

Why the Son of God Became Man (Heb. 2:14-18)

Ano ba talaga ang pinaka-kailangan natin? At sino ang makapagbibigay ng kailangan natin? Yan ang mensahe ng pasko, yung purpose ng incarnation.

The Apostles’ Creed Part 5 – Conceived by the Holy Spirit, Born of the Virgin Mary

Sabi ni Albert Mohler, kung hindi ka naniniwala sa virgin birth, delikado ka, dahil ang pinaniniwalaan mo ay hindi ang Cristo na itinuturo ng Salita ng Diyos. “The Apostles’ Creed, therefore, has included the virgin birth for good reason—it is true, it is essential, and it is glorious.” Dito nakasalalay ang kaligtasan natin. Kaya sabi sa Nicene Creed about Christ, “Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man.”

Ang Ika-Sampung Utos (Reuel Reyes)

The tragedy of Christmas is that we are doing exactly the opposite in our celebration. Instead of emptying, we are so busy filling ourselves with so many things. But the message of Christmas is not of filling but of emptying, for Christ himself emptied himself.
