19.10.2016 PARABLES

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 12:39-48

Everyone is like Peter in one way or the other. Everyone wonders whether the teaching is meant for oneself or for the other. And everyone prefers that the teaching is meant for the other. Everyone thinks that he is right and just and there is nothing wrong with him.

Jesus’ parable is meant for everyone especially for those who are in charge of the others (“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute food allowance at the proper time?). They have to do their work dutifully and should be ready always (accountable for the work given).

ஆண்டவரின் உவமை எல்லாருக்கும்தான் சீடர்களுக்கும் கூட. அவர்கள் கடமை உணர்வோடு பணி செய்யவேண்டும். அவர்களும் ஆயத்தமாய் இருங்க வேண்டும் ஏனெனில் அவர்கள் நினையாத நேரத்தில் மானிடமகன் வருவார்.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 10:1-9

Jesus is sending his disciples ahead of him to prepare the way for his coming. They are called to be forerunners. They have work in abundance. In fact there are not enough workers. They are to face opposition (they are sent like lambs among wolves). They are not asked to set right or fight back evil with evil.

They have to go about doing their work as if it was worship (Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals = only for the worship they do not need money bags and cloths and sandals). Their work is a life saving work (and greet no one along the way = confer 1Kg chapter 4).

சீடர்கள் முன்னோடிகள்தான். அவர்களுக்கு வேளை அதிகமாக உள்ளது. அவர்கள் பணியில் எதிர்ப்பு உண்டு. எதிர்ப்புகள் மத்தியிலும் அவர்கள் பணியை வழிபாடு போல் ஒரு உயிர்காக்கும் செயலாகச் செய்யவேண்டும்.
