NABABAWASAN O NADI-DILUTE BA ANG GOSPEL OF SALVATION SA PAGKO-CALL OUT NATIN NG ACCOUNTABILITY NG POWERFUL SA LIPUNAN?

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

Hindi po, kundi, nae-enhance pa nga ito. Lalo na if it promotes kung ano ang pinapahalagahan ni Jesus.

Study after study shows na ang isang nakaka-turn-off sa mga tao, especially sa mga kabataan, from organized Christianity, ay ang tinatawag na pagiging split-level o “syncretistic” nito (technical terms po ito ng mga scholars).

Kay Jesus, walang room for split-level Christianity, o yung Kristiyanismo na pang-Linggo lamang pina-practice, at from Monday to Saturday ay galaw ng mundo ang sinusundan.

Ang sabi ni Jesus, sa isang condemnation sa religious leaders:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF THE LAW: JUSTICE AND MERCY AND FAITH. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.” (Matthew 23:23)

Mabigat po ang paggamit ng warning na “Woe to you!” Ito ay indikasyon ng status sa mata ng Diyos ng mga religious leaders na hindi binibigyan ng mabigat na pansin ang WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF THE LAW: JUSTICE AND MERCY AND FAITH!

In a real way, malakas na udyok ito sa ating buong bansa, na magrepent sa kakulangan ng pagbibigay-halaga sa JUSTICE AND MERCY AND FAITH.

Any preaching o church direction that follows Christ’s instruction ay hindi maaaring i-consider na dilution ng Gospel of Salvation. In fact, it shows that the Gospel of Salvation has produced works of righteousness in society. Kung sobrang kulang ang presence ng katarungan sa Philippine society, how can we even say we are listening to our Lord Jesus Christ?

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is living proof that true courage is forged through adversity.

Sereno rose from humble beginnings to become the country’s first female Chief Justice in 2012. She attended public elementary and secondary school, then pursued higher education through scholarships. She graduated valedictorian from the UP College of Law in 1984, and holds a Masters of Law degree, specializing in law and economics and international trade law, from the University of Michigan.

She was a law professor at the UP for nearly 20 years. The World Trade Organization recognized her stellar credentials with her 1998 appointment as Counsellor of their Appellate Body in Geneva, Switzerland. She was also involved in successful international litigation as co-counsel for the Republic and was AIM’s Executive Director for their Policy Center.

With her modernizing outlook and firm belief in the power of technology, she co-founded a corporation that developed the first annotated electronic research system in Philippine Law. Her tenure as Chief Justice is marked by far-reaching reforms, including eCourts, automated hearings, case decongestion, continuous trials, and expanded small claims courts. At the heart of her reform program is the strong conviction that justice and the law’s protection should be accessible and responsive to the most vulnerable Filipinos. Because she was a staunch defender of judicial independence, Sereno was subjected to intense persecution.

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is now a major voice for people-centered change in Philippine society. She believes this change is part of God’s desire for this country, that every Filipino is precious in God’s sight, bawat isa mahalaga, and that each citizen and every community has a role in building up this nation. She is an advocate for faithfulness to the vision of a “just and humane society” in the Philippine Constitution, and integrity and accountability in governance.
