Who among us would not want to be changed for the better? In this final installment of the Real-life Overcomers series, Ptr. Jared Co uses the life of Peter to explain who can be transformed, how transformation happens, and what we would need to be transformed by the Lord as Peter was.
Bagaman ang apostol na si Peter ay nagkamali at nabigo, hindi ito ang nagdikta ng kaniyang katauhan. Sa katunayan, ang kaniyang buhay ay nagsilbing katibayan kung gaano natin kailangan ang Diyos at ang Kaniyang kakayahang baguhin tayo. Ngayong linggo, ipinapaalala ni Ptr. Michael Cariño na, katuwang ang ating Diyos na mabuti at maawain, may mensaheng mapupulot sa ating kaguluhan, may pag-asa ng tagumpay sa gitna ng pagsubok, at may tapat na pananampalatayang magbubunga mula sa ating mga kabiguan.
In Amos 4, the prophet says to Israel, “Go and do as you please!” How frightening it is to hear such a message from the Lord for it means the day of His judgment is coming. May our fear of the Lord keep us from provoking His anger.
Amos issues a dire warning: the Lord will allow powerful adversaries to triumph over Israel as punishment for their transgressions. Let us learn from their experience and repent before the Lord’s judgment is upon us.
