GOSPEL READING: JOHN 3:14-21
Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. Belief in the one who is lifted up is the sign of eternal life. Eternal life is a life in Jesus Christ. Believing in the name of Jesus is salvation. Salvation and eternal life are centred on the person Jesus.
God loved the world so much that he was ready to sacrifice his only son. ( A similar theme like that of Abraham). Belief is an essential theme in salvation. God was never for condemning people. God was ready with anything and everything (even sacrificing his only son) to save his creation.
Moses lifted up the snake to save the people in the desert. Jesus was lifted up to save (eternal) the humanity. Abraham was ready to sacrifice his son to show his faith. God was ready to sacrifice to show his life for humanity.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 3:14-21
மோசே ஆபிரகாம் போன்றோரே முன் அடையாளங்கள். அவர்களின் செயல்கள் அவர்களின் மனநிலைகள் இஸ்ராயேல் மக்களின் வாழ்வுக்கு அடித்தளமாக இருந்தன. அதேபோல் இயே சு உயர்த்தப்படுதலும் இயேசு பலியிடப்படுதலும் மறுவாழ்வுக்கும் மீட்புக்கும் அடித்தளமானவை.
