GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 28:8-15
‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’
—————————————–
The primary concern was regarding the body of Jesus. There would not have been any problem if the body remained in the tomb. The disciples could have preached on resurrection (totally spiritual) in spite of the body being in the tomb. Resurrection was what Jesus was preaching and it was something to do with faith.
Here the disappearance of the body became a serious problem. They have to account to this disappearance. What could have taken place? Easy target to blame were the disciples because they were preaching on resurrection. (They might have hidden the body somewhere and continued their preaching). This was to discredit the disciples. If they had taken the body and hidden ti somewhere then they would have continued their reverence to the body quietly. Why did they not do ti? Something happened to the body. It was not there. He is risen.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 28:8-15
‘நாங்கள் தூங்கிக்கொண்டிருந்தபோது இயேசுவின் சீடர் இரவில் வந்து அவரது உடலைத் திருடிச்சென்றுவிட்டனர்”
————————-
இயேசுவின் உடலைக் காணவில்லை. ஒன்று திருடப்பட்டிருக்க வேண்டும் அல்லது உயிர்த்திருக்க வேண்டும். திருடியிருந்தால் சீடர்கள் உடலுக்கு தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் வணக்கம் செலுத்தியிருப்பார்கள். ஏன் அவ்வாறு செய்யவில்லை? உடல் அங்கு இல்லை. அவர் உயிர்த்துவிட்டார்.
