GOSPEL READING: Mk 10:17-27
No one is good except God alone. In the creation stories we read in the book of Genesis that when Go created the world he found it good. Every day after creation he found his creation to be good. But here Jesus says that no one is good except God alone. By this Jesus says that goodness is not a quality of man or of any creature. But goodness is the basic quality of God and the creatures get their goodness only from God. God is the source of all goodness. That is why he says God alone is good.
Jesus looked at the young man and loved him. He loved him for his sincerity and truthfulness. The young man meant what he said. He was pious man and observed all the commandments of God. Does Jesus mean by this that youth in general are not very observant of the rules? I do not think so. Probably Jesus meant to say that it is enough that you are young for me to love you. Because, the young man has all the possibilities and potentials to reach the highest goal (God). Only material wealth can prevent him.
கடவுள் நல்லவர். படைப்புகள் அனைத்தும் கவுளிடமிருந்துதான் நன்மைத்தனத்தை பெறுகின்றன. நன்மைத்தனம் படைப்பில் கிடையாது அல்லது தானாகவே மனிதனில் கிடையாது. இயேசு அந்த இளைஞனை அன்பு செய்தார். நீ இளைஞன் அதுபோதும் நான் உன்னை அன்பு செய்ய என்று இயேசு கூறுகிறாரோ?
