GOSPEL READING:LUKE 19:45-48

And every day he was teaching in the temple area.

The author says that he was teaching in the temple area everyday. We do not know exactly how many days this everyday would add up to. But the statement show that Jesus was familiar with what was happening in the temple area. What was happening in the temple area was not a reported information but a first hand information; his personal experience.

All the people were hanging on to his word. General public liked his preaching. But the scribes and leaders were not happy with his preaching. Jesus was one with the people but at the same time he was not feeling one with the leaders. From his preaching we come to know that the leaders were making temple into a den of thieves. Temple was supposed to have been the place of the presence of God but now it has become residence of thieves.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 19:45-48

இயேசு ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் கோவிலில் கற்பித்து வந்தார்.

இயேசு கோவிலில் தினமும் கற்பித்து வந்தார் என்று சொல்லும் போது அவர் கோவிலையும் கோவிலைப்பற்றிய செய்திகளையும் அறிந்திருந்தார். இது பிறர்வழியாக அறிந்த உண்மை அல்ல மாறாக அது ஒரு சுய அனுபவம். அவருடைய போதனைகளும் சாதாரண மக்களுக்கு ஏற்புடையதாக இருந்தன. கோவிலில் கடவுள் இருக்கவேண்டும் ஆனால் தலைவர்கள் கடவுளை அகற்றிவிட்டு தாங்களே (திருடர்கள்) குடியிருந்தார்கள்.
