Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 5:1-11

This is the sermon that Jesus makes at the beginning of his ministry. He is the preacher and the place of preaching is on the mountain and the listeners are his disciples (followers). Mountain was the place where God revealed his covenant to Moses and to the Israelites. Here Jesus reveals the new code of the covenant to the new Israel.

This also shows who are ones that are to be accounted truly happy, and what their characters are and secondly what that is wherein true happiness consists, in the promises made to persons of certain characters, the performance of which will make them happy. Happiness is found or given to certain characters and the happiness lies in certain ways behaviour.

இயேசு மலைமீது ஏறி அமர்ந்து தன் சீடர்களுக்கு போதிக்கிறார். இது புதிய உடன்படிக்கையை கொடுப்பது போன்று உள்ளது. பேறுபெற்றவர்கள் ஒரு சில குணநலன்களைப் பெற்றவர்களே. அவர்களின் செயல்பாடுகள் அவர்களை பேறுபெற்றவர்களாக்குகிறது

GOSPEL READING: MARK 14:12-16,22-26

Jesus is in control of the situation. He knows everything that is going o happen to him. It looks as if he has planned everything to the detail. He has not only planned but informed and arranged things for the feast and for the personal happenings of events. The last days events are what Jesus has willed (not my will but your will be done) and accepted and carried out.

Jesus has made the will of God his own. This was the reason he could boldly speak about the betrayal here. Because he has seen God in his life and lived God in his life the Passover event which was one of the main miracles of the Old Testament becomes personal happening. His life becomes a Passover. Every believer is given the chance to make Passover personal event in his own personal temporal, special, social context.
