GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 17:14-20
Jesus sent out the disciples to cast out demons, heal the sick and to preach the kingdom. Disciples were sharing the ministry of Jesus. People were also going to them and many were healed by their prayers. This was one of the reasons that the man in this story brought his son to the disciples. The disciples had faith in Jesus and in God. Here Jesus spoke of the quality of faith.
Man believes and most of his actions are the outcome of his belief. Casual belief makes one’s life meaningful and successful (posted letter reaches the destination is a casual belief…). Here Jesus tells his disciples that the belief which they have in God, though small in size, should include the acceptance that nothing is impossible to God. God is the master of creation and everything is in his control.
நம்பிக்கை குறைவுதான் இயலாமைக்கு காரணம் என்று இங்கு இயேசு உறுதிப்படுத்துகிறார். நம்பிக்கை உள்ளவன் எதையும் சாதிக்க முடியும் எல்லாவற்றையும் சாதிக்க முடியும். கடவுளால் முடியாதது ஒன்றுமில்லை அதேபோல் கடவுள் மேல் நம்பிக்கை வைப்பவனும் பெரியன செய்வான்.
