GOSPEL READING (Jn 14:15-21)
Jesus has come into this world to give us the presence of God always. He himself is Immanuel (God with us). Now he is saying that he is going to ask the father it send the Holy Spirit among the people. The spirit is going to be with the people always. He is the spirit of truth and he is going to be with the disciples always. Presence of the spirit is always and continuous presence.
The followers are not going to b left as orphans. Jesus himself is going to be with the followers. And the followers will realize his presence in them. Presence of Jesus will not be seen by the world but the followers will feel his presence. The presence of Jesus is like the presence of the father in Jesus and how Jesus himself is present in the father.
The indwelling of the father in Jesus is invisible but certain. Jesus went about preaching and doing mighty works because this realization. The disciples themselves should live so with the realization that Jesus is with them living and working. This indwelling is further strengthened by the presence of the spirit. This indwelling of the father in the son and the son in the followers is confirmed by the love.
இறைவன் உடனிருக்கிறார் என்பதை வெளிப்படுத்தவே இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தார். அதனால் சீடர்கள் அனாதைகளாக இருக்கமாட்டார்கள். இயேசு இருக்கும்வரை கடவுளின் உடனிருப்பு சீடர்களுக்கு உண்டு. ஏனெனில் இயேசுவில் இறைவன் இருக்கிறார்.
