GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 11:20-24
Christ came into the world to bless. But if the blessing be slighted then he had woes in reserve and his woes are of all others the most terrible. The two cities Chorazin and Bethsaida were situated upon the Sea of Galilee and they were rich and populous places. Jesus had three of his apostles from Bethsaida. But later they became most obscure villages.
Capernaum was the place of residence for Jesus when he started his public ministry. Capernaum had heard the preaching of Jesus and seen many of his miracles. But our external privileges will be so far from saving us, that if our hearts and lives be not agreeable to them.
‘கொராசின் நகரம்> பெத்சாய்தா நகரம்> அதேபோல் கப்பர்நாகும் போன்ற இடங்கள் இயேசுவின் போதனைகளையும் புதுமைகளையும் கண்டிருக்கின்றன. வெளி அடையாளங்களும் உரிமைகளும் நம்மை காப்பாற்ற முடியாது. நமது இதயமும்> மனதும்> வாழ்வும் மாறவில்லை என்றால் பயனில்லை.
