His Mercy And Love

Bohol's Chocolate HillsCanon S45, f4.9, 1/101 sec

"Then Peter asked him, 'Lord, how many times must I forgive the offenses of my brother or sister? Seven times?' Jesus answered, 'No, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'

"This story throws light on the kingdom of heaven. A king decided to settle the accounts of his servants. Among the first was one who owed him ten thousand gold ingots. As the man could not repay the debt, the king commanded that he be sold as a slave with his wife, children and all his goods in payment.

"The official threw himself at the feet of the king and said, 'Give me time, and I will pay you back everything.' The king took pity on him and not only set him free but even canceled his debt.

"This official then left the king's presence and he met one of his companions who owed him a hundred pieces of silver. He grabbed him by the neck and almost strangled him, shouting, 'Pay me what you owe!' His companion threw himself at his feet and asked him, 'Give me time, and I will pay everything.' The other did not agree, but sent him to prison until he had paid all his debt.

"His companions saw what happened. They were indignant and so they went and reported everything to their lord. Then the lord summoned his official and said, 'Wicked servant, I forgave you all that you owed when you begged me to do so. Weren't you bound to have pity on you?' The lord was now angry, so he handed his servant over to be punished, until he had paid his whole debt.

"Jesus added, 'So will my heavenly Father do with you unless each of you sincerely forgive your brother or sister.'"

MATTHEW 18:21-35

"Dear Lord, thank You that Your love
knows no height, breadth and depth. Amen."

maganda po talaga sa Bohol. recent lang sya promote as a tourist destination. pero, dami po magagawa dun. kung mahilig sa water activities, merong whale/dolphin watching, snorkling, island hopping, etc. kung mahilig ka naman sa views, maraming mapupuntahan. tulad ng chocolate hills, tarsier, etc.

ganyan lang po ata talaga si tatang. gusto lagi may explanation, rationale. nalilimutan ata na merong mga bagay na abstract. ;)
