09.05.2016 RELATIONSHIP

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 16:29-33

Jesus came into this world to rebuild the relationship with the Father. He wanted the people to reconcile with God and united with him. He started to form a small community of disciples and he taught them everything about thee Father and revealed his own relationship with the Father as model of relationship. Sad story is that His disciples left him alone and ran away.

His firm conviction that the Father was with him sustained him at the moment of loneliness and neglect. The disciples left him one by one and as a group leaving him alone. His faith in the Father and the presence of the Father carried him through even at the moment of death on the cross. This is also a model for the followers that God the Father will always be with his people.

இயேசுவின் அடித்தள நம்பிக்கைகளில் ஒன்று கடவுளின் உடனிருப்பு. இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தது இறைபிரசன்னத்தை வெளிப்படுத்த. ஆதை அவரே வாழ்ந்து காட்டுகிறார். உலகு முழுவதுமே ஒருவரை தனிமைப்படுத்தினாலும் தந்தையாகிய கடவுள் தன்னோடு இருக்கிறார் என்ற நம்பிக்கை அவசியம்.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 24:46-53

The disciples are called to be witnesses. They are not merely proclaiming and announcing the truth about the kingdom. It is true they are called to announce the kingdom but they do not announce as outsiders. They have to speak only what they have seen and heard. For this they should have had experience.

They are witnesses of the suffering of Jesus. They have to bear witness to the resurrection, ascension, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Besides these they are to be witnesses of repentance and forgiveness of sins. From the side of God they bear witness to all the godly things and from the side of God they are witnesses to repentance and forgiveness.

சீடர்கள் சாட்சிகளாக இருக்கவேண்டும் மேலும் சாட்சிகளாக வாழவேண்டும். இயேசுவின் பாடுகளுக்கு> இறப்புக்கு> உயிர்ப்புக்கு> விண்ணேற்ப்புக்கு> தூய ஆவியின் வருகைக்கு> மனம்திரும்புதலுக்கு> பாவமன்னிப்புக்கு சாட்சிகளாக இருக்க வேண்டும். இவைகளெல்லாம் அனுபவங்களாக இருக்க வேண்டும். அனுபவங்களின் அறிவிப்பே சாட்சியம்.
