Our bible sharing

Matthew 22:1-14!

My husband can't open the link I sent, so he got his bible and flip the on Verse Matthew 22:1-14. Me: Now please read the verse.

Husband: No, you read. Me: Then, I read.

Me:How do you understand about the verse?

Husband:It's about the judgement day, (re-iterating " Many are called but few are chosen.".

Me: Wow,very smart. We have the same idea. Then,what else?

Husband: Hmmm.. that's all.

Me: Ok, When I was reflecting it lately this morning. It says in verse 1-2 That the heaven is like a         wedding feast that is being prepared by the king. So as I imagine it.Heaven has a lot of food            and it's like everyday is a feast out there. It might be the place full of happiness and festivity.

Husband: hmmm, bb next time you send me the verse that we need to share on saturday the day                   before Sunday our bible sharing day. So that, I can also reflect. Because bible really                       needs reflection. 

Me: (Self talk -wow this is a good response)Ok, don't worry I will. Then I continued. "God then            send his servants to invite people for the wedding feast"- meaning God invited us to have some         time with him but we were to busy doing our own things, not knowing that God had prepared         abundance for us. Example sunday- we need to spend time with him because he is expecting           us to come and he is preparing for us as his visitor but he was dismayed because we did not           listen to him.

Husband: bb, I can't understand why did He say that; in Verse 4: “Then he sent some more                         servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My               oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to                            the wedding banquet.’ So therefore: There were already people invited to go to heaven? Me: Hmmm, thinking deeply, Yes maybe - These are maybe those chosen people like the priest,            pastors and other people that He chose to spread his word.

Husband: Yes, maybe those are also the descendants of Abraham.

 Me: Yes maybe ( Then we continued) Verse 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The weeding                    banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.9 So go to the street corners             and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the  servants went out into the streets and            gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall            was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to see  the guests, he noticed a man              there who was not wearing wedding clothes.12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without            wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

 These verses Struck me: I imagine  it as the coming of the Lord or during our death, and because we have not listen to his call  for change, for repentance and for knowing him. We might go to the heaven with out the wedding attire- meaning we are not ready to face the Lord and go to heaven because of our sinfulness and have not accepted the Lord in our lives.

Then the last verse says: 13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” ----These verses were bloodcurdling and very alarming for me. As I imagine it- because we are not ready to face him we could be one of those people that will be sent to hell where there are gnashing of teeth and weeping. It is all because we did not listen to his call. 

Husband: bb, we will do this session every sunday ok, then send me the verse ahead of time. Realizing it, we were happy to at least understand what were the verse all about and somehow we both want to try our very best to devote some of our time to the Lord even if we are skype away. After the bible sharing we then prayed together then He continued watching Pacquiao and Rios matched that he paused. To atleast give some time with the Lord is an accomplishment for me and the Joy that it brings is indescribable.

Long distance bible sharing with my Husband!

Bible Sharing! Matthew 22:1-14!

I have found myself very busy not just taking care of my son but also exploring the innovation of technology: scrolling jobs, working online, scrolling nothing, surfing in the internet and everything. Then, I remember my nanay (mother) told me that you need to devote your time to God and your family every sunday- even only every sunday. I didn't mind her advice at that time. Just then I realized that nanay was right. As a mother and a wife of an overseas husband- I need to have a strong foundation of my faith and an intimate relationship with the Lord. I was wondering then, "before, I really find time to have a silent moment and listen to praise and worship songs", it was my way of talking to the Lord, but with the innovation of technology I have just realized that I allowed it to snatch my time with the Lord. I also remember what Father Ben - The celebrant priest during our wedding- he said, " You as a wife, needs to persistently pray especially your husband is working in the country where your religion is hard to find nor churches could be easily found because with these situation evils can easily be found and are very happy to find some space to ruin a family". I thought of these pieces of advice as a serious matter now it is because I will be raising a child in a world where values are significantly edgy. Then, I realized with all the calamities, war and everything bad that are happening in the world right now is a calling that "I or we should give some of our time to Lord."

As my first step of knowing the Lord, I  have question in mind. Why do I need to have some time with the Lord? Google it- there I found this verse Matthew 22: 1- 14 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22%3A1-14&version=NIV. Then my husband called me up through skype.

Me: Hi bb. How are you?
Husband: I am fine, I am watching the re-play of Pacquiao's fight against Rios.
Me: I have a plan for tonight, we are going to have a bible sharing.
Husband: What's that? I don't know how to do that.
Me: Hmmm..bb.. the Lord said we need to have some time with him.
       We are just going to share what we understand about the verse and our personal experiences that will correlate to the verse.
Husband: Ok.
Me: (hay salamat) ( Thank you he is now showing his interest -self talk.)

I really do not understand this verse before but I think of it all over again this is how me and my husband understand  these verse -Our bible sharing.
