From the ninth chapter onwards, His journey takes a very clear and definite direction: Jerusalem. After the transfiguration account, Jesus goes down from the mountain with His three disciples and turns toward Jerusalem, the place of His death and resurrection. If we are truly His disciples, we will never dare stay behind on top of the mountain but will faithfully follow Him all the way by choosing always the best over the good. Lent should not bring out the good in us, but the best.
Bago natin tapusin ang ating pagninilay, mahalagang alalahanin natin na si Jesus ay natukso ring sumuko at bumalik na lamang sa tahimik at ligtas na pamumuhay Niya sa Galilea. Natukso rin Siya ngunit, sa pagtitiwala sa Diyos Ama, pag-ibig sa kapwa, at pagiging tutoo sa tuwina, nanatili Siyang tapat at matibay sa Kanyang pasiya.
