“Kaya’t sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kanan ninya, ‘Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama! Pumasok kayo at tanggapin ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula pa nang likhain ang daigdig.’”

Mateo 25:34

Ang pinaka-controversial members of the British Royal family today ay ang Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit their royal life, meaning, they will not be performing their royal duties, at tumira sila sa America to forge their own path and raise their family. Unfortunately, many people are accusing them of hypocrisy because it was rumored that they actually want to keep the privileges tied to their royal titles.

Who has not dreamed of becoming a prince or princess in real life? Pero hindi mo na kailangang daanin sa cosplay ang iyong fantasy dahil sinabi ni Jesus na sa simula pa lamang ay we’re meant to be part of God’s Kingdom. Jesus stressed this when He talked about the importance of child-like faith in receiving this truth. 

Ilang beses ding mababasa sa Bible ang emphasis on seeking God’s kingdom and how to make sure that we get there dahil ito ang mabuting plano ng Diyos para sa atin. At lahat ng tapat na alagad ni Jesus ay tatanggap rin ng iba’t ibang korona sa kaharian ng Diyos. Narito ang maaaring isuot sa atin:

“Kaya’t sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kanan ninya, ‘Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama! Pumasok kayo at tanggapin ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula pa nang likhain ang daigdig’” (Mateo 25:34). It’s coronation time. This is our destiny, our royal heritage, from the beginning of time. Huwag tanggihan!
