The Day When The Savior Born<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas is the day when the Savior born- Jesus Christ Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the homily where I had my Christmas Mass in St. Joseph Church Bukit Timah-Singapore, the Father reminded us that Christmas isn’t always about giving presents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, it’s about being present to our loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

A presence that’s filled with joy when we’re together.<\/span><\/p>\n

May we could present our presence…<\/span><\/p>\n

A presence that’s full of joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we remember that Jesus’ presence gives us joy and salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merry Christmas!<\/span><\/p>\n

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hari Lahirnya Sang Juru Selamat<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hari Natal adalah hari lahirnya Sang Juru Selamat Dunia- Yesus Kristus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalam homili Romo di Gereja tempat saya Misa Natal pagi itu di Saint Joseph Church Bukit Timah, Singapura, beliau mengingatkan bahwa Natal bukanlah melulu mengenai memberikan hadiah bagi orang-orang terkasih.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, terlebih dari itu, bagaimana kita mempersembahkan kehadiran kita bagi mereka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kehadiran dan tentunya menciptakan suasana yang diliputi sukacita ketika kita kita bersama-sama.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita bisa mempersembahkan kehadiran kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kehadiran yang menyukakan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sebagaimana kita ingat, kehadiran Yesus yang sungguh memberi sukacita dan keselamatan bagi kita semua.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selamat Hari Natal!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hari ini telah lahir bagimu Juruselamat,\u00a0\u00a0yaitu Kristus,\u00a0\u00a0Tuhan,\u00a0\u00a0di kota Daud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For God So Loved the World…<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For God so loved the world…<\/span><\/p>\n

That He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ’s willingness to sacrifice Himself is the biggest gift of love ever!<\/span><\/p>\n

The love that brings salvation…<\/span><\/p>\n

The love that leaves self-centeredness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The love that’s willing to make himself nothing by taking the nature of servant even though He’s the King…<\/span><\/p>\n

May we learn to be more humble and willing to spread the love to our family and the people surround us.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.<\/span><\/p>\n

— John 3:16<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena Begitu Besar Kasih Allah akan Dunia Ini…<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Allah begitu kasih pada kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sehingga Ia mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, supaya tiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa, melainkan beroleh hidup yang kekal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pemberian diri Kristus adalah pemberian dalam kasih yang terbesar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasih yang menyelamatkan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasih yang meninggalkan keegoisan diri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasih yang rela mengambil rupa hamba padahal Dialah Raja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita pun terus belajar untuk menjadi rendah hati, mau mengobarkan kasih bagi keluarga dan sesama kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena begitu besar kasih\u00a0\u00a0Allah akan dunia ini, sehingga Ia telah mengaruniakan\u00a0\u00a0Anak-Nya\u00a0\u00a0yang tunggal, supaya setiap orang yang percaya\u00a0\u00a0kepada-Nya tidak binasa, melainkan beroleh hidup yang kekal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God Did Not Send the Son To Judge the World<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s so easy for us to judge others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only by the way the talk, their appearance, what they’re wearing, their education, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too easy for us to dislike others because of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s be reminded once more that even God did not send the Son to judge the world, but to save the world (us).<\/span><\/p>\n

May we learn to be better in this.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we’re the one that’s being judged, will we be happy?
\nLet’s pray for the wisdom from the Lord for loving others more rather than judging them.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

— John 3:17<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah Mengutus Anak-Nya Bukan Untuk Menghakimi Dunia<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Begitu mudah kita menghakimi orang lain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dengan gaya bicara mereka, penampilan mereka, apa yang mereka pakai, pendidikan mereka, dan seterusnya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terlalu mudah bagi kita untuk menjadi tidak suka dengan seseorang karenanya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari kita ingat kembali, bahwa Allah mengutus anak-Nya bukan untuk menghakimi dunia melainkan untuk menyelamatkan kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita bisa belajar lebih baik untuk hal penghakiman ini…<\/span><\/p>\n

Ketika kita yang dihakimi, apa kita akan suka?<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari mohon kebijaksanaan dari-Nya untuk lebih mengasihi dan bukan menghakimi.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sebab Allah mengutus Anak-Nya ke dalam dunia\u00a0\u00a0bukan untuk menghakimi dunia, melainkan untuk menyelamatkannya oleh Dia.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Yohanes 3:17<\/span><\/p>\n
