I was supposed to blog last night but i had too much to do. Apologies to my five followers (hehehe....aylabsyu!)
So I went to the second day of simbang gabi. This time to another church - rather chapel of one of the big malls here in our place.
The gospel was about Jesus' genealogy. For those who have attended or have been attending simbang gabi for the past year/s, this is where we hear about his lineage -Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, until it reaches Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Priest said it is important to note the genealogy of Jesus to know that he came from the the blood line of David, the king. Jesus was of royal blood but he did not come to be a political king, he came to save us from sin, to lead us to where there is true happiness.
May this holiday season make us realize that what is truly important is that we celebrate Christ's birth and not think too much of the material things that come with the season.
