GOSPEL READING: JOHN 18:1-19:42
In these two chapters we find all what Jesus has thought about himself. When the soldiers come to arrest him he says I am Jesus of Nazareth (His human origin). He is the master of the disciples and he wanted that his disciples be spared. He has spoken openly in the temple in the synagogues and in public places (he is an open minded person). He has spoken the truth and he has come to testify to the truth (His mission).
No one has power over him if it was not granted from above (He is under the control of from above).He let his mother under the care of John (He wants the relationship to continue). He has completed the mission for which he has come down (His determination).
These are some of the facts about Jesus and they are from the mouth of Jesus himself. They speak about his human and divine origins; his attitude to disciples and others; his mission; and completion of the mission. His mission was to do the will of the father for the salvation of humankind. This is completed through his death and followed by his resurrection on the third day.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 18:1-19:42
இந்த இரண்டு அதிகாரங்களிலும் இயேசு தன்னை யார் என்று எண்ணினார் என்பது வெளிப்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. தான் மனிதனும் கடவுளுமாய் இருக்கிறார் என்பது தெரிகிறது. தனக்கென்று ஒரு பணி இருக்கிறது அது உண்மையிலும் சுதந்திரத்திலும் செயல்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. பணியின் நிறைவே வாழ்வின் நிறைவு. மக்களின் மீட்பு வாழ்வின் பணியின் நிறைவு.
