Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 8:16-18

Nothing is hidden. And there are no secrets in the world. However one may try to hid facts and keep secrets it will only meet with disappointments. Whatever may be kept hidden but it will come to light. Whatever may be kept secret but it will come to light.

Everyone who works on what he has and produces more will have more (more will be give) and anyone who does not work on what he has then even what he has will be lost (=will be taken away). Word of God is like the light which cannot be hidden but it will be made known to public and this will become the light for those who see it and it will only lead from success to success for those who work on it.

இரகசியம் என்று ஒன்றும் இல்லை. எல்லாமே காலத்திற்கு உட்பட்டது. இன்றைய இரகசியம் நாளைய வெளிப்பாடு.

GOSPEL READING: Mt 20:1-16

Kingdom of heaven is not a place of rest. It is a place where one goes to work. The owner invites people to work. It is not a work for nothing. The work brings reward. Interesting factors are that one can be called to come for work at anytime. The kingdom is not controlled by time or talent. It is open to anyone. It is an inclusive place. It includes everyone and entry is free and at anytime.

In the kingdom also we find grumblers. People come in with secular (social) mind. Their thinking is controlled by social values and social systems. They expect to be treated as they would be in the society. They expect social stratifications. They expect rewards according to their work. They expect the rule ‘first come first served’ to be practiced and hoped that the first come to be well paid etc.

But the attitude of the owner is important. He does the things that are not in a society. They are in the kingdom. Kingdom is a place where there are no criteria for entry. There is no time limit. The owner is a generous person and he is a good person. His goodness causes envy among people. He continues to be what he is.

இறையாட்சி என்பது சமூகத்தைப் போன்றது ஆனால் முற்றிலும் மாறுபட்டது. இறையாட்சியில் காலம்> நேரம்> இடம் போன்றவைகள் மனிதனை கட்டுப்படுத்துவதில்லை. யாரும் வரலாம் எப்போதும் வரலாம். எல்லாருக்கும் அதே வரவேற்பு அதே வெகுமதி. பாகுபாடு அற்ற இடம்.
