06.04.2015 BODY OF JESUS

Posted under Reflections on April 6th, 2015 by

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 28:8-15

The primary concern was regarding the body of Jesus. There would not have been any problem if the body remained in the tomb. The disciples could have preached on resurrection (totally spiritual) in spite of the body being in the tomb. Resurrection was what Jesus was preaching and it was something to do with faith.

Here the disappearance of the body became a serious problem. They have to account to this disappearance. What could have taken place? Easy target to blame were the disciples because they were preaching on resurrection. (They might have hidden the body somewhere and continued their preaching). This was to discredit the disciples. If they had taken the body and hidden ti somewhere then they would have continued their reverence to the body quietly. Why did they not do ti? Something happened to the body. It was not there. He is risen.

இயேசுவின் உடலைக் காணவில்லை. ஒன்று திருடப்பட்டிருக்க வேண்டும் அல்லது உயிர்த்திருக்க வேண்டும். திருடியிருந்தால் சீடர்கள் உடலுக்கு தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் வணக்கம் செலுத்தியிருப்பார்கள். ஏன் அவ்வாறு செய்யவில்லை? உடல் அங்கு இல்லை. அவர் உயிர்த்துவிட்டார்.

05.04.2015 STONE ROLLED

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 24:1-12

Jesus died on Friday. They buried him in a hurry lest they break the Sabbath rules. At the end of the Sabbath they came back to the tomb to give him a proper burial. This was the reason they took the spices with them. They themselves were not sure of his resurrection. They came to give him proper burial.

They were shocked to see the stone rolled. They would have thought that someone else had entered before them to give him proper burial. They could not believe their eyes because the body was not there. Was it stolen? No! Revelation from the Angels said that he is raised. Resurrection is only through revelation. It is given from above.

அவசரத்தில் இயேசுவின் உடலை அடக்கம் செய்திருந்தார்கள். அவருக்கு சரியான அடக்கம் கொடுக்க வந்தார்கள். ஆனால் அங்கே ஆண்டவர் இயேசுவின் உடலைக் காணவில்லை. வானதூதர் உயிர்ப்பை அறிவிக்கிறார்கள். உயிர்ப்பு ஒரு இறை வெளிப்பாடு. ஏனெனில் அது ஒரு இறை செயல்.
