Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 6:12-19

This is a summary passage given by the author about the life and activities of Jesus. Jesus came into the world with a purpose and he was committed to it till the end of his life. He went about doing it from day one and there was no turning back from it.

He had come from the Father and hence he had to have a constant contact with the Father and that was the reason that he spent lots of time in prayer. He went about doing good to the people healing them from sicknesses and cleansing them from unclean spirits.

இயேசுவின் வாழ்வும் பணியும் இங்கு சித்தரிக்கப்படுகின்றன. அவர் ஜெபத்தில் இறைவனோடு தொடர்பு கொணடடிருந்தார். எல்லாருக்கும் நன்மை செய்து வந்தார். தீமையை அகற்றினார்.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 1:1-16,18-23

Jesus was a historical person. He had a linked with the past. He was a descendant of Abraham. And Abraham was a man of faith; he was the first historical person to believe in God and was justified for his faith. Jesus was a descendant of David as well. David was the civil leader and he gave the people a sense of a society, a nation. So Jesus was the descendant of both the faith of the past and the society of the past.

Jesus was a divine person. Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. This was told to Joseph himself in a dream. This was the faith of Joseph. Joseph accepted it in faith. An action of God (through the Holy Spirit) when accepted in faith (Joseph) realized God with us (Jesus). A historical person (son of Abraham; son of David) became ‘God with us’ through the action of God when accepted in faith.

இயேசு ஒரு வரலாற்று மனிதன் (ஆபிரகாமின் மகன்@ தாவீதின் மகன்). அவர் ஒரு இறைமகனாகிறார் (இம்மானுவேல் என்றால் ~கடவுள் நம்முடன் இருக்கிறார்|). இது எவ்வாறு நிகழும். தூய ஆவின் செயலால் மட்டுமே இது நடக்கக்கூடும். இதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள நம்பிக்கை (விசுவாசம்) அவசியமானது. விசுவாசம்> இறை செயல் இவை இரண்டும் ஒன்றுபடும்போது மனிதன் இறைவனாகிறான்.
