24.10.2014 READ THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 12:54-59

People are able to forecast the weather and the flow of wind and its consequences. They read the nature very well and their predictions are right. Similarly they should also read the happenings of the social and political and religious events. This could be applied to every field. Medical doctors are able to read the sicknesses etc and give explanations to the health situations but why can’t they read the happenings of the other events.

Jesus’ main concern is their neglect of the political happenings (arrival of Romans, the ruling of Herod etc) their disregard for this young preacher who is proclaiming the kingdom of God. This is an urgent and important message but the people are deaf to it but they are busy with many other unimportant things.

இயற்கை நிகழ்வுகளை முன்அறிவிக்கும் மக்கள் மற்ற சமூக நிகழ்வுகளையும் சமய நிகழ்வுகளையும் புறக்கணிப்பது ஏன் என்று இயேசு கேட்ப்பது சரியானதே. மக்கள் எல்லா நிகழ்வுகளையும் காணவேண்டும். எல்லாவற்றைப்பற்றியும் தீர்மானிக்கவேண்டும்.
