GOSPEL READING: LUKE 7:11-17
“Do not weep.”
Jesus does not want to see people weeping. But he himself was weeping at the tomb of Lazarus. Death always made people weep (All were weeping and mourning for her, when he said, “Do not weep any longer, for she is not dead, but sleeping.”- Lk 8:52; and “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children – Lk 23:28).
This statement of Jesus shows his compassion for the widow. Widow is one of those who were to be cared for by the society. But this particular woman had also lost her only son. This only goes to show that he had no husband (past) and no son (future) and at present she needed only compassion from the others. Jesus showed this by giving her the future.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 7:11-17
‘அழாதீர்”
ஒருவர் இறந்துவிட்டார் என்ற செய்தி உறவினர்களை அல்லது நண்பர்களை அழ வைக்கிறது. (லூக்கா 8:52; 23:28). இயேசு பரிவு கொள்கிறார் ஏனென்றால் அவர் ஒரு விதவை (எல்லாவற்றையும் இழந்தவள்). துன் ஒரே மகனை இழப்பதனால் தன் எதிர்காலத்தையும் இழந்து விடுகிறாள்.
