Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MARK 10: 13-16

Jews had all kinds of division: gender division, class division, age division etc. Basic structure of the society was seen in division. Division ruled the society. Jesus came and he was trying to remove the division from the mind of the people. The division was followed by exclusion.

Children were part of the social division and they were not allowed to enter into certain areas and they were prevented from certain activities etc. This division extended to an extreme situation of preventing them from even meeting people and relating to people. Jesus told them that in the kingdom there are no division and all are welcome at all times.

சமுதாயத்தில் உள்ள பிரிவினைகள் ஏற்ற தாழ்வுகள் இறையாட்சியில் இல்லை. இறையாட்சியில் எல்லாருக்கும் இடமுண்டு. எல்லாரும் வரவேற்கப்படுகிறார்கள் எல்லாரும் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளப்படுகிறார்கள்.

GOSPEL READING: MARK 10: 1-12

God had a purpose in creating this world. And still he has a purpose. Human beings are to discern this purpose of God and fulfill it. Not to fulfill this purpose of God is to go against God. Nature and natural things fulfill the plan of God as they were created. Only humans because they can think and discern and desire they can also choose.

This principle has to be seen to also in marriages. Because two persons desire and decide do not mean they can also altar things as they wish. They have to look into design of God even though it is a personal matter of their own choice. Freedom itself is a gift of God. God has a purpose even for human freedom.

மனிதன் கடவுளுக்குப் போட்டியாக இருக்கக்கூடாது. உலகிலுள்ள எல்லா பொருள்களுக்கும் நபர்களுக்கும் கடவுள் ஒரு திட்டம் வைத்திருக்கிறார். அந்த திட்டம் நிறைவு பெற வேண்டும். மனிதன் இந்த திட்டத்திற்கு ஒத்துழைக்க வேண்டும். படைப்பின் நோக்கம் எல்லாவற்றிலும் நிறைவு பெறவேண்டும்.
