10.07.2014 JOURNEY

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 10:7-15

The apostles make no provision for their journey. Also they are asked to make a short trip around and they were soon to return to their master. This was to show that they have to make a return journey that they are told not to take provision. They also have to act in dependence upon the Divine Providence. Jesus was teaching them to rely on Providence.

They were asked to shake off the dust of their feet in detestation of their wickedness. The dust of wickedness must not pollute the ground on which they were walking. Also the apostles should not have any fellowship or communion with them. It was also to signify that they were base and vile as dust and the dust left behind would witness against them.

திருத்தூதர்கள் பயணத்திற்கு எதையும் எடுத்துச்செல்லக்கூடாது. ஏனெனில் அவர்கள் விரைவில் திரும்பவேண்டும். மேலும் அவர்கள் இறைபராமரிப்பில் நம்பிக்கை வைக்கவேண்டும். இறைவன் கொடுத்த கொடைகளை வைத்து பணம் பெறக் கூடாது.
