Assignment for SEATS - MMBC School Of Mission Gawain para sa SEATS-MMBC School of Mission. Due: Thursday, 9 February 2012.

In class last 22 January 2012, we discussed Colossians 2:13-15 – “You were once dead because of your failures and your uncircumcised corrupt nature. But God made you alive with Christ when he forgave all our failures. He did this by erasing the charges that were brought against us by the written laws God had established. He took the charges away by nailing them to the cross. He stripped the rulers and authorities of their power and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ.”

Noong nakaraan na 22 January 2012 pinagusapan natin sa klase ang Colosas 2:13-15 – “Kayong mga Hentil na dating patay dahil sa kasalanan ay muling binuhay ng Diyos na kasama ni Cristo. Pinatawad niya tayo sa atin mga kasalanan at pinawalang-bisa ang lahat ng kasulatan laban sa atin, pati ang mga pananagutan kaugnay nito. Pinawi niya ang lahat ng ito nang ipinako siya sa krus. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kamatayan sa krus, nilupig niya ang mga pinuno at kapangyarihan ng sanliutan. Ang mga ito’y parang mga bihag ng kanyang ipinarada sa madla bilang katunayan ng kanyang pagtatagumpay.”

Ito na ang ating gawain / Our assignment is this:

1. Anu-ano ba ang mga pinuno at “kapangyarihan ng sanlibutan” na tinutukoy ni Pablo dito? What are the “rulers & authorities / principalities & powers” to which Paul is referring?

2. Paki-bigay ng sampung halimbawa ng “pinuno at kapangyarihan ng sanlibutan” sa mundo natin ngayon. Give at least 10 examples of these “rulers and authorities / principalities & powers” in our world today.
