GOSPEL READING: JOHN 7: 40-53
Each one had a different experience of Jesus. As their experience was so also was their interpretation of him. Not only their interpretation of him but also their identification of him depended on their experience. Some experienced him as a prophet, others as Messiah but not according to the scriptures etc.
Division among them was probably like that of the story of the tower of Babel. They were trying to know God (here they were trying to know Jesus). In Genesis God confused them with their language and here with their understanding. Anything regarding God should be of revelation.
தங்கள் அனுபவத்தை வைத்து இயேசுவை புரிந்துகொள்ளுதல் கடினமானது. அது தவறான புரிதலாகக்கூட இருக்கலாம். ~பாபேல்| கோபுரம் கட்டும்போது ஏற்பட்ட குழப்பம் போல் இப்போது இயேசுவைக் குறித்து மக்களிடையே பிளவு ஏற்பட்டது. கடவுளைப்பற்றிய சரியான புரிதல் இறைவெளிப்பாட்டில்தான் உள்ளது.
