Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 13:1-9

The parable clearly speaks about a particular activity. The work of the sower is to sow the seed. He does not choose the field. The field is available to him. The soil could be rocky, could a pathway, could be a place of thorny bush. However the vast are of the field is cultivable and disposed to sowing.

File is talked about only with respect to yielding. At the time of yielding the pathway, the rocky places and the thorny places have not regard. Only the real cultivated land has a message. The message is this: whatever be the lose (on the pathway, rocky ground and thorny bush) there will always be a harvest and that is the kingdom and work in the kingdom.

இறையாட்சி என்பதும் இறையாட்சி பணி என்பதும் கொடுக்கின்ற பாடம் மாறுபட்டது. என்னதான் இழப்பு இருந்தாலும் (வயலோரம்> பாறை> முட்புதர்) இறையாட்சியில் முப்பது> அறுபது> நூறு மடங்கு பயனுண்டு.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 10:24-33

It is good to remember one of the principles, and particularly the doctrine of God’s universal providence, extending itself to all the creatures, and all their actions, even the smallest and minutest. The sparrow is of so small account, that one of them is not valued; there must go two to be worth a penny. Though they are so small a part of the creation, yet even their death comes within the notice of the divine providence; much more does the death of his disciples.

The very hairs of your head are numbered is a proverbial expression denoting the account which God takes in the concerns of his people. If God numbers their hairs, much more does he number their heads, and takes care of their lives, their needs and their souls. It intimates that God takes more care of them than they do of themselves. Men keep counting their money, their goods and their cattle and they do not know when the hair falls yet God takes care of the things which man does not even bother to care for, and that is God’s providence.

கடவுளின் பராமரிப்பு சிறு பொருள்கள்மீது கூட உண்டு. ஒரு சிட்டுக் குருவிக்கு மதிப்பு கிடையாது. இரண்டு சிட்டுக் குருவிகள் சேர்ந்துதான் ஒரு காசு. அவைகளை பராமரிக்கும் கடவுள் தன் சீடர்களை அதைவிட பேணிக்காப்பார். தலைமுடி போன்ற முக்கியமில்லாத மனித கவனத்திற்கு உட்படாத பொருள் கூட கடவுளின் பராமரிப்பில் உள்ளது.
