Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 22:34-40

The desire of man is to know the greatest, the highest etc. Man thinks that the answer also would be very difficult and almost impossible. Because deep within man there is the feeling that whatever is great and noble and are hidden from the knowledge of man and he has to struggle to know them.

But Jesus’ answer proves that those things are the most simplest and easiest even to practice. Man does not need to struggle to answer these things. Man makes great effort in trying to do the difficult things but he, in no way makes any effort to do the simplest things.

தலைசிறந்தவைகள் கடிணமானதாக இருக்கவேண்டும் என்பது மனித சிந்தனை. ஆனால் இன்று இயேசு அவைகள்தான் எளிதானவைகள் என்று கூறுகிறார்

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 22:1-14

It is interesting that Jesus speaks of the kingdom in terms of celebrations, wedding, meal etc. If the parable so then how would the reality be?. Kingdom is a place of celebration where God is the host and the rest are invited quests. The invited quests cannot in anyway sabotage the celebrations. God’s celebration will continue and it will carry on.

The invited guests are distracted with many things. They go to the extent of even neglecting the celebrations. They are so much concerned with other activities instead they have only one thing to do and that is joining in the celebration. Celebration will continue with uninvited guests. Invitation shows only the preference and not the exclusive right.

இறையாட்சி என்பது ஒரு கொண்டாட்டம்> ஒரு விருந்து> ஒரு திருமணம். அழைக்கப்பட்டவர்களின் புறக்கணிப்பால் கொண்டாட்டம் நின்றுபடுவதில்லை. அழைக்கப்படாத விருந்தினர்கள்கூட கொண்டாட்டத்தில் கலந்துகொள்வர். கொண்டாட்டம் எல்லாருக்கும் பொதுவானது. அழைப்பு ஒரு தேர்ந்தெடுப்பே.
