Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 10:13-16

Any refusal to the invitation by the disciples would bring the people to disaster. The disaster is going in the opposite direction from God. This would mean throwing themselves into the hands of the pagan power. This would be worse than the sufferings faced by the wicked cities of the Old Testament.

It would be more tolerable for the pagan towns because they were not given such chances and if they were given those chances they would have repented. Repentance is part of the message of the kingdom of God.

சீடர்களின் அழைப்பை ஏற்காத மக்கள் ஆபத்தை சந்திப்பர். ஆபத்து என்பது கடவுளின் எதிர்புரத்தில் செல்லுதல். புpற இனத்தாரைப்போல் ஆதலாகும்.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 18:1-5,10

The disciples are taught to become like the little children. For the children there is no greatest and smallest. They do not work on profits, gains, power, position and they do not play politics. They only seek for the basic things like food etc. They do not manipulate.

The representatives of the children are already in heaven. Each child has his/her representative (angel) in front of God. The angel is the link between God and the child. Hence a child should not be despised.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 18:1-5>10

ஒவ்வொரு குழந்தைக்கும் ஒரு காவல்த்தூதன் உண்டு. அத்தூதரே அவருக்கு பிரதிநிதி. அவர் எப்போதும் அவருக்காக இறைவன்முன் நின்றுகொண்டிருக்கிறார். அவரே கடவுளுக்கும் அந்த குழந்தைக்கும் இடையே உள்ள தொடர்பு.
