Loving a Believer

Chapter 10 - The Deity of Christ

"Jesus Christ is God," I told Aldren, because he was telling me again that Jesus isn't God.

Mrs. Trinidad just finished our lesson for today and she let us use our free time to chat with our seat mates.

"Because your husband told you, right?" he said with a smirk on his lips.

"Yeah, and he explained it to me, and I am convinced that Jesus Christ is God," I said with confidence.

He let out a chuckle and said, "Because you don't know about Matthew 24:36."

My brows furrowed in confusion. I didn't know the verse he mentioned. "What it says?"

"Do you have a Bible app?" he asked and looked at my phone placed on my desk.

"Yes, I have." I pick up my phone and opened my Bible app. I searched for the verse he mentioned.

Matthew 24:36 - No one knows, however, when that day and hour will come - neither the angels in heaven nor the Son; the Father alone knows.

My lips parted as I read the verse twice.

"If Jesus is God, how could he not know when he would return?" I heard him say.

Napatingin ako sa kanya at nakita ko ang nakakalokong ngiti sa labi niya. Hindi ako kaagad nakareact dahil hindi ko alam ang sagot. I brought back my eyes to my phone screen and read the verse once again. Aldren was right. Even the Son didn't know when he would come. This means, there is one thing that Jesus doesn't know. How is that? I thought.

"Mrs. Hunt, how many years have you been married to Mr. Hunt?"

Nailipat ko ang tingin ko kay Mrs. Trinidad nang marinig kong tanungin niya ako.

"P-pardon ma'am?" Hindi ko masyadong naintindihan ang sinabi niya dahil nakatuon ang isip ko sa topic namin ni Alden.

"How many years have you been married to Mr. Storm Dylan Hunt?" she asked with a sweet smile on her lips.

Napalingon ang mga classmates ko sa akin, tila hinihintay din ang sagot ko.

"5 years, ma'am," I answered.

"Ah, I see. Matagal na rin pala," she said while nodding her head. "Storm Dylan is one of the most outstanding students I've met in my class. He was our magna cumlaude in their batch."

I just smiled. I wasn't surprised anymore. It was obvious that Storm was very smart and intelligent.

"Ma'am, sikat po 'yun dati, 'di ba? He was covering and revising songs," tanong ng isa sa mga lalaking classmates ko.

"He's a musician . . ." sabi pa ng isa.

The whole class started to talk about Storm, though some of them wasn't familiar with him.

"What's your husband's ministry? I wonder why he left his career," Aldren suddenly asked me.

"He's an evangelist," I replied.

Nakita ko ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya. "Oh, he must be knowledgeable about Theology."

"Yeah. He graduated from a Bible School."
