\u201cWhoever listens to me will dwell\u00a0safely\u201d (Proverb 1:33)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humans have the natural ability to use their sense \u2018listening\u2019 rather than just hearing, for the better comprehension of discourses. This gift bestowed from God was from the creation of mankind. Every since his existence, man shall listen the word of his creator. Though he defied His law and command, the Holy Father gave His word to save him from eternal fire and thus send His Begotten Son, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. \u00a0Our redeemer also taught the word of God, gospel for human race could get life in Him.<\/p>\n

Gospel is the guide to the path of life; it is the good news to the salvation of human race. It tells the life of Lord and Savior Jesus and His teachings, which form the foundations of the Christianity.\u00a0We have seen our Lord through His words, listen to His voice and witnessed His miraculous work by the gospel.<\/p>\n

Humans are the work of God and thus shall listen to His words and abide His law.\u00a0 The word of God was first foretold by the Prophets. People in the Old testament were taught by the Prophets as Mosses, Joshua and Jeremiah and when they listened and obeyed His words, were led to the promised land. Their returning was due to their will of listening to God\u2019s words that helped their penance. They have also witnessed His presence, heard His voice and outlook His work.<\/p>\n

Then rose the Apostles to teach the four gospels, \u201cThe Gospel of Matthew, The Gospel of Mark, The Gospel of Luke and The Gospel of John.\u201d Saint Apostles with their teachings and messages within their epistles saved many lives, changed thousands into Christianity and do miraculous just as the Lord.<\/p>\n

People of the New Testament, are guided by the gospel to know the word of God, comprehend His words and act accordingly in our Christin life. Our Lord likes praise and so we shall give thanks to the Holy Trinity, saying \u201cHoly Father, Holy Son and Holy Spirit\u201d; He is pleasant for our diligence in prayer and prostration, cherish our service of Church. He loves good endeavors as \u2018loving Neighbors as oneself, feeding and nurturing the poor and elderly.<\/p>\n

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ have taught His disciples to love and safeguard the poor. He showed them love by blessing the bread and fish for their consumption for we could do as same. \u201cAs evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, \u201cThis is a remote place, and it\u2019s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Jesus replied,\u00a0\u201cThey do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have here only five loaves\u00a0of bread and two fish,\u201d they answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cBring them here to me,\u201d\u00a0he said.\u00a0And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.\u00a0Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.\u00a0They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.\u00a0The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.\u201d (Matthew 15-21)<\/p>\n

We see care, love and nurturing in this work of our Lord for He is the God of love, mercy and safety. We shall recon the words of Wise King Solomon in his proverbs saying \u201cWhoever listens to me will dwell\u00a0safely.\u201d The safety that the King talks about is Christianity. (Proverb 1:33)<\/p>\n

To be Christian within Christ, we shall follow the path He craved for all the salvation of Human race. It is through His gospel we know and acknowledge His will and perform His rule. Lord Jesus taught us about faith, Christians endeavors and has showed unconditional love. This is what we must have to be Christians.<\/p>\n

May our Lord help us into listening to His words and live by them; Amen!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
