GOSPEL READING: LUKE 8:19-21
My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.
Kingdom was formed of people. These people were not made of relatives or people who belonged to a group. Kingdom had Jesus as its centre. All the people were turned towards Jesus. They all listened to him. He was communicating something to them. His teachings, his doings and he himself were the main reasons for their coming together.
Jesus announces these people to be his relatives. Kingdom-people are the relatives of Jesus. Jesus does not give importance to the natural relations rather kingdoms relations become the only relations for him. This does not in any way exclude the natural relations. The relations who of natural origin also could become the relations of the kingdom.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 8:19-21
‘இறைவார்த்தையைக் கேட்டு அதன்படி செயல்படுகிறவர்களே என் தாயும் என் சகோதரர்களும் ஆவார்கள்” என்றார்.
இறையாட்சியின் உறவுகளே உண்மையான உறவு என்று இயேசு கூறுகிறார். ஆனால் இறையாட்சியின் உறவு இயல்பான இயற்கையான உறவுக்கு எதிரானது அல்ல.
