Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: Mk 6:34-44

Jesus had just started his ministry and he had already a great following. On that day when he multiplied the bread for them there were 5000 men. If one could include the women and the children then the number who had followed him would be really big. All this was because he was moved with pity for them. A godly quality that made him multiply few loaves for thousands.

The disciples’ inability to give them food was the reason for Jesus to do this miracle. God acts when man accepts his inability. Man’s realization that he is only a creature of God is the primary sign of humility. When man is humble in front of God and accepts God as the master then everything happens in God’s plan. God’s activities are all miracles for man.

பரிவு கொள்ளுதல் ஒரு இறைசெயல். மனிதன் தன் இயலாமையை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளும் போது அவன் தாழ்ச்சியோடு வாழ்கிறான். தாழ்ச்சி இருக்கும் இடத்தில் இறைவன் செயல்படுகிறான். இறைசெயல்கள் அனைத்தும் புதுமைகளே.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 4: 12-17, 23-25

Jesus began his ministry after the arrest of John the Baptist. His ministry did not coincide with that of John. His ministry was distinct from that of John. Even though they both were preaching of the kingdom yet they had their distinction. John was preaching the arrival of Jesus but Jesus was preaching the kingdom.

Jesus’ preaching was accompanied by the activities of the kingdom. The activities were healing: healing of all types for all people from all over the place. The healing ministry did not have any restriction. It was all inclusive. The news of the kingdom spread all over the places and the following also was from all over the places.

இயேசு விண்ணரசைப் பற்றி போதித்தார். விண்ணரசு பற்றிய செயல்களைச் செய்தார். விண்ணரசை மக்கள் எதிர்கொள்ளும்போது அவர்கள் முதலில் மனம்மாறவேண்டும்> இரண்டாவுது அவர்கள் பின்செல்லவேண்டும். மனம்மாறுதலும் பின்செல்லுதலும் விண்ணரசை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளுவோரின் செயல்கள்.
