GOSPEL READING: JOHN 6:51-59
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
God is the source of life. Creation stories tell all the wonders about the faith of the people of Israel. Every bit if life on earth proceeded from God. His word was so powerful that at his command things were made. Again he breathed life into man. He became a living being. God given life (divine life) was lost through sin and this was their belief too.
God sent Jesus into the world to give back to the people the life which they lost because of their sin. The divine life is now available to the people in Jesus. Jesus has derived this life from the same father himself. As the breath of the father gave life to the world in creation so also now the world regains that life through the body and blood of Jesus.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 6:51-59
வாழும் தந்தை என்னை அனுப்பினார். நானும் அவரால் வாழ்கிறேன். அதுபோல் என்னை உண்போரும் என்னால் வாழ்வர்.
படைப்பனைத்தும் தந்தையிடமிருந்து வாழ்வு பெற்றன. மண்ணாய் இருந்த மனிதனும் தந்தையின் மூச்சிலிருந்து உயர்பெற்றான். பெற்ற வாழ்வை பாவத்தால் இழந்தான். இழந்தவாழ்வை திரும்பவும் மனிதனுக்கு கொடுக்க மகனை அனுப்புகிறார் தந்தை. தந்தையிடமிருந்து பெற்ற வாழ்வை தன்னை உண்போரும் பெறுவர்.
