Posted under Reflections on May 3rd, 2016 by

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 15:26-16:4a

There are many to testify on behalf of Jesus. First of all there is the Father to testify on behalf of him and then there is the Advocate who proceeds from the Father. The words that Jesus has uttered stand on behalf of Jesus and bear witness and then there are the activities of Jesus which also testify.

The disciples are asked by Jesus here to testify on behalf of Jesus. The reason is because they have been with Jesus from the beginning. So to be with Jesus means to be a witness. Jesus has to be witnesses. Any link with Jesus compels one to be a witness.

இயேசுவுக்கு பல சாட்சிகள் இருந்தாலும் சீடர்களின் சாட்சியை அவர் அதிகம் விரும்புகிறார். சீடர்களின் சாட்சியம் தேவையானது ஏனெனில் அவர்கள் தொடக்கமுதல் இயேசுவை கண்டும் கேட்டும் இருக்கிறார்கள். இயேசுவை கண்டு கேட்டு அனுபவித்தவர்கள் செய்யவேண்டிய ஒன்றே ஒன்று சாட்சிகளாய் இருத்தல்.

01.05.2016 TRAVEL

Posted under Reflections on April 30th, 2016 by

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 14:23-29

Jesus is travelling between the world and the Father. This happened once with a specific mission (For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.- Jn 3:16). The Father sent him and he completed his mission and that was not the end of his journey. He went back to the father to comeback.

His second coming only proves that all what he did in his first journey did not go wasted. The disciples should not be worried or troubled to see him go. He was going to leave them orphan. He would sent the Holy Spirit who would continue the work and activities of Jesus. His going to the Father is also assured by his coming back.

இயேசு உலகிலிருந்து தந்தையிடமும்@ தந்தையிடமிருந்து உலகிற்கும் பயணிக்கிறார். அவர் இல்லாத காலத்தில் தூய ஆவியானவர் இருக்கிறார். ஆகவேதான் நீங்கள் உள்ளம் கலங்க வேண்டாம்@ மருள வேண்டாம் என்று கூறுகிறார். இயேசுவின் பிரசன்னம் எப்போதும் உண்டு.
