GOSPEL READING: Mt 14: 22-33
Man of faith sees God and his presence close to him in whatever happens. But a man of little faith sees the natural events as they happen (as natural events). Jesus sent the disciples away to go before him. As they went they saw the sea which they were used to; they saw the wind and the rough sea as they were used to in the past; they were used to work into the fourth watch and it was natural for them; and that was the reason they see a ghost (everything happened as natural events and they understood the same way)
Peter also gets on to the sea with his little faith (seeing the things naturally as normal events that take place regularly). Man of little faith did not see the presence of Jesus as the presence of God. His little faith made him see everything as natural events. So he had to go into the sea and that is the natural law. Only when he sees Jesus as Lord and son of God then there is life for him. Man of faith sees Jesus the presence of God. Faith is essential for a happy and successful life. Men of little faith also live their lives but they struggle through difficulties and problems.
நம்பிக்கை வாழ்க்கைக்கு அடித்தனமானது. நம்பிக்கை உள்ள வாழ்க்கையில் வெற்றி உண்டு மகிழ்ச்சி உண்டு. நம்பிக்கை குன்றியவர் வாழ்வில் துன்பங்களும் துயரங்களும் முன்னின்று பயமுறுத்துகின்றன. கடவுளை மறக்கடிக்கின்றன.
