MADALAS na rin mabasa at mapakinggan ang “The Big one.” Ang diumano malakas na lindol na maaaring maganap sa ating bansa (God forbids! I rebuke it in Jesus name, our Lord and Savior!).

Ang pamahalaang local at national maging ang ating mga kababayan ay pinaghahandaan ang “The Big One.” They made a plan. Tama po maghanda ang bawat isa sa idudulot nitong kapinsalaan.

I read and heard na may naghahanda na ng emergency kit, pagkain, tubig, damit, gamot at iba pa. Right thing to do, wika sa Boy Scouts slogan, laging handa. Inspites of preparation na ginawa,

we’re not sure sa kaligtasan natin (I claim na it will not happen ang big one at maging ligtas ang mga tao!). All of these are temporal things in life, what we are preparing and going to face. It’s really scary.

However, may higit din tayong dapat paghandaan, ang real Big One! The Lord’s plans will succeed. The Lord’s plans will stand the test of time. Wise nation, wise people na gustong mag-survive, kailangan kilalanin ang katotohanan na plano ng Panginoon ay magtatagumpay, kaya’t kailangan natin to submit to the Lord.

Our life does not end here on earth. Life here is temporary. But St. John says, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes Him should not perish but have everlasting life,” (John 3:16). So have assurances, anoman mangyari sa atin ay may buhay na walang hanggan tayo. At itong begotten son na ating Panginoong JesuCristo ang siyang tunay na Big One! Siya ay muling magbabalik, siya ang Big One na darating na tunay na inaasahan ng mga sumasampalataya sa kanya, mga nabuhay at namatay na kilala siya bilang Panginoon at Tagapagligtas ng kanilang buhay.

Here are some scriptures about the coming of the Lord: a) Matthew 24:44, “So you must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect.” b) Acts 1:11, “…This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” c) Revelation 1:7, “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him…” And many more scriptures tell the second coming of our Lord Jesus, the real Big One!

Ang mahalaga sa pagdating ng big one (hopefully hindi na and I rebuke it!) o ng Big One, our Lord Jesus, ay handa tayo na tinanggap natin siya bilang our Lord and Savior.
