GOSPEL READING: JOHN 5: 17-30
No one could acknowledge Jesus’ ministry. Jesus believed that he was doing what his father was doing or revealed to him to do. If Jesus’ doing was that of the Father then his breaking the Sabbath law also was the doings of the father. It is this that his opponents could not accept. Their image of God and their idea of God were so different that they could not accept God to be the father of Jesus.
The father has given authority over life to Jesus. Only God had authority over life and if this was given to Jesus then again Jesus becomes the son of God. But Jesus says that his will, his judgement, his doings, and in fact everything of his is from the father.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 5:17-30
இயேசுவும் தந்தையும் ஒன்று என்பதை விளக்குகிறார். கடவுளின் சித்தம், கடவுளின் எண்ணம், கடவுளின் செயல்பாடுகள், கடவுளின் தீர்ப்பு எல்லாம் இயேசுவில் பிரதிபலிக்கின்றன. இதை மற்றவர்கள் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள மறுக்கிறார்கள். இதுதான் இயேசுவுக்கும் மற்றவர்களுக்கும் உள்ள பிரட்சனைக்குக் காரணம்.
