GOSPEL READING: LUKE 9:18-24
Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Life is a gift from God and life is given to live it and live it to the full. Everyone lives it as he believes or as he wishes. Some live it without God or any reference to God. There are others who live it as prophets or forerunners. These live their lives for God and they announce God to others and point out his coming into the world.
Only one lived his life as a Messiah. He lived it for God and for others. He lived so that others may be redeemed from the evil one. This life of a Messiah can also be lived by humans provided they deny themselves and carry the cross daily. Every disciple is called to live like Jesus that is to live his life for God and deny himself for the sake of the other.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 9:18-24
என்பொருட்டுத் தம் உயிரை இழக்கும் எவரும் அதைக் காத்துக்கொள்வார்.
கிறிஸ்துவில் வாழ்வு என்பது தன்னிலை மறந்து இறைவனையும் பிறரையும் முன்வைக்கின்ற வாழ்வு. இறைவனும் மற்றவனும் இனையவேண்டும் என்பதற்காக தன்னை இழக்க துணியும் வாழ்வு.
