Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 12:44-50

The relationship between the Father and Jesus is one of equal and identical. Whatever is done to Jesus is done to the Father be it believing or seeing. Whatever Jesus speaks is also form the Father. Activities of Jesus are also directed from the Father.

One of the activities of Jesus was in relation to people. He has not come to judge or condemn the world but to bring salvation to the world. He has come as a light which will dispel all darkness. Jesus has come to bring light and salvation to the people who listen to him.

இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தது மீட்புப்பணிக்காகவே. அவரது வருகை தீர்ப்புக்காகவோ அல்லது தண்டனை வழங்குவதற்காகவோ அல்ல. எவ்வாறு ஒளி இருளை அகற்றுகிறதோ அதேபோல் இயேசுவின் வருகை மீட்ப்பை வழங்கவே.

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 10:22-30

Jesus was constantly revealing the Father, the kingdom and about himself. But the Jews were not able to understand him. Rather their idea about the Messiah and his activities were so different from what Jesus was revealing to them that they constantly asked to reveal.

Jesus revealed that he was the shepherd and the people were the sheep. The sheep listen to him and they hear his voice. They understand him and they follow him and they belong to him. He in turn rewards them with eternal life. This revelation is true because the Father and he are one.

இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தது தந்தையை வெளிப்படுத்த@ தன்னை வெளிப்படுத்த@ தந்தைக்கும் தனக்கும் உள்ள உறவை வெளிப்படுத்த@ தனக்கும் மக்களுக்கும் (ஆடுகள்) உள்ள உறவை வெளிப்படுத்த@ தன் பணி> பணியின் நோக்கம் இவைகளை வெளிப்படுத்தவே அவர் வந்தார். யூதர்கள் இதை புரியவில்லை.
