GOSPEL READING: JOHN 5:17-30
Jesus revealed himself to be the Son of the Father. This revelation was not just that he was the Son. It was more than that. He said that he was identical with the Father. He was doing things exactly as his Father was doing (a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also).
Father is at work always and at all times. So does the Son. There is no break for the Son (Sabbath) from work. Father – Son relationship is based on love. Like the Father, the Son also has authority over life (the Son give life to whomever he wishes). Son has also the power and authority to judge people. Hence the Son also should be honoured like the Father.
தந்தை மகனை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றார். மகனும் தந்தையை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றார். தந்தை-மகன் உறவு அன்பை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டது. அவர்களிடையே இருப்பது உறவு மட்டுமல்ல மாறாக அவர்கள் எல்லாவற்றிலும் ஒரே மாதிரியாக இருக்கிறார்கள்.
