Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 10:34-11:1

The disciples should choose Jesus before the nearest and dearest relations (Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me). It is not that they have to be neglected instead Jesus has to be the first. Before ease and safety cross should be taken (whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me). Same way Jesus should be taken before life (Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it).

Jesus does not in any way speak against relations and the safety and security of life or against life itself rather he invites his disciples to primacy to Jesus before other things. It is this that will allow the disciple to receive the blessings and rewards. Rewards are only in relation to Jesus.

உறவு> உயிர்> பாதுகாப்பு போன்றவைகளுக்கு முன் இயேசு தேர்ந்துகொள்ளப்பட வேண்டும். இயேசுவோடு கொண்டுள்ள உறவு எப்படி இருக்கிறதோ அதுபோலவே பயனும் இருக்கும்.

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.
