12.03.2012 PROPHETS

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 4:24-30

Prophets went chosen by God and to the people of Israel. Prophets were called to remind the people of the covenant relationship that existed between the people and God. Jonah was sent to non-believers of Judaic tradition. It was only to make the people repent and return to the Lord.

Prophets Elijah and Elisha were miracle workers as well. They were more than mere voice of God. These two prophets had their mission in the pagan land. These examples were given to show that the prophets were more acceptable among the non-believers.

Jesus was more than a prophet. He has challenged the people with regard to their covenantal relationship and he has done more miracles among his own people. But he was not accepted. Instead they rose up against him. People were not open to Godly things and they were not able to discern Godly things.

நற்செய்திவாசகம்: லூக்கா 4:24-30

இறைவாக்கினர்கள் இறைவனின் குரலாக இருந்து இறைவனின் மனசாட்சியாக இருந்து; மக்கள் இறைவனோடு கொண்டிருக்க வேண்டிய உடன்படிக்கை உறவைப் பற்றி போதித்தார்கள். இயேசு இவர்களையும் விடசிறந்தவராக போதித்து வந்தார்.  மக்கள் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளவில்லை. இது அவர்களின் விசுவாச குறைவே;  அவர்களது தவறான மனநிலையை குறிக்கிறது.
