GOSPEL READING: JOHN 3:31-36
‘The one who comes from above (Jesus)’ is contrasted with ‘the one from the earth’. There are many people whose life and teaching are from the earth or earthbound. Their goal in life is earthbound and their lifestyle etc. They trust only those who speak of such earthly realities like success, self fulfilment, satisfaction, wealth, and so on.
The end of such people is destruction. It is not that God is a tyrant who sits there to punish these people. But the road that they have chosen is earthly and earthbound and hence it leads to corruption and destruction and decay. But anyone who listens to the Word (God has spoke through Jesus and God word is in Jesus/ is Jesus/ is active through him and he has come to bring the Spirit of God) then they are heaven bound because God is in them and His word is in them.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 3:31-36
மேலிருந்து வருபவர் இயேசு. அவர் விண்ணுலகு சார்ந்தவற்றைப்பற்றி பேசுகிறார். அவரே வார்த்தை, அவரில் வார்த்தை உள்ளது, அவர் வழியாக வார்த்தை வெளிப்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. இயேசு வார்த்தையை கேட்டு அவர்வழி நடப்போர் விண்சார்ந்த வாழ்க்கை வாழ்வர். உலகுசார்ந்த வாழ்வு வாழ்வோர் அழிவுக்குச் செல்வர்.
