14.04.2013 JESUS WENT AFTER THEM

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 21:1-19

Jesus was standing on the shore
———————————

Death of Jesus brought an end to the activities of Jesus and his followers (at least temporarily), for the disciples went back to continue their regular life. To an extent they went back to their earlier life. That was the only thing they knew. They were fisher men and they went back to fishing. Nearly eight of them including Simon were there in the boat.

Jesus went after them. He went to the places of the disciples again. It was almost a second calling. This was after the resurrection. The second calling made them realize that it was the same Jesus who called them earlier. Each one of the post resurrection appearances was a calling (recalling, a re-calling).

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 21:1-19

இயேசு கரையில் நின்றார்.
——————

உயிர்த்த இயேசு சீடர்களை அனாதைகளாக விட்டுவிடவில்லை. அவர்கள் பின் செல்கிறார். ஒவ்வொரு சந்திப்பும் ஒரு அழைப்பு (மறு அழைப்பு). அழைப்பு என்பது ஒரு முறை மட்டும் நடப்பதல்ல. அது ஒரு தொடர் நிகழ்வு.
