04.04.2014 KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 7:1-2,10,25-30

To know God is the goal of every human being. (For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts. – Hosea 6:6). Knowledge of God is the experience of God. (I am the LORD, your God, since the land of Egypt; You know no God besides me, and there is no savior but me Hosea 13:4).

Jesus knows God and this knowledge is seen in his belonging to him; in finding God as the source of his life. This knowledge of God is further assured in the commission of God. God has given Jesus a mission. To acknowledge that God is the source and God has a mission is the knowledge which Jesus proposes in this passage.

கடவுளைப்பற்றிய அறிவே சிறந்தது, அடித்தளமானது, மனிதத்தின் குறிக்கோளும் அதுவே. இந்த அறிவைக் கொண்டவன் தான் கடவுளிடமிருந்து வருவதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்வான், கடவுள்தான் பணித்தார் என்பதை உணர்ந்து செயல்படுவான்.
