GOSPEL READING: LUKE 13:31-35
There were some moderate Pharisees. So they came up to Jesus and reported to him the intention of Herod. Was it to help him or to prevent him from continuing his work? We do not know their intention. But Jesus was sure of his moves and actions. The purpose for which Jesus came into this world was to gather the people together.
Jesus was not bothered about his death. One day he had to leave this world. Jesus came with a mission and this mission has to be completed. Once the mission is completed then his purpose for living on this earth is completed. Living and not-living are not essentials in life. Living with a mission and completing the purpose for which one came into this world are important.
வாழ்வா? சாவா? இயேசுவுக்கு குறிக்கோளை நிறைவு செய்யும் வாழ்வே சிறந்தது. அவர் ஒரு பணிக்காக இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தார். பணியின் நிறைவுதான் வாழ்வா சாவா என்பதை நிர்ணயிக்க வேண்டும்.
