20.08.2014 GOD IS GOOD

Posted under Reflections on August 19th, 2014 by

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 20:1-16

Quality of God is very well expressed in this parable. Human beings are limited and they think in human terms. They speak in terms of justice, cause and effect, rights and duties, equality etc. Because, these human qualities are not present in all men equally. It varies from person to person and this causes jealousy and envy.

God instead works on his qualities of love, generosity, truth, giving gifts, making covenants with people and giving promises to the people and fulfilling them. God’s love and generosity go beyond the justice and equality that men see. In fact they include the good qualities of men and go beyond it (My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? ).

மனிதன் நீதி> உரிமை> கடமை போன்றவைகளை வைத்து வாழ்க்கையை நடத்துகிறான். ஆனால் கடவுள் அன்பு> தாராளம்> உண்மை> உடன்படிக்கை> வாக்குறுதி போள்றவைகளை வைத்து உலகை நடத்துகிறார். கடவுளின் குணங்கள் மனித குணங்களை உள்ளடக்கும் மேலும் அதைத்தாண்டியும் செல்லும்.

19.08.2014 KINGDOM

Posted under Reflections on August 17th, 2014 by

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 19:23-30

Jesus makes a statement about those who will enter the kingdom. Jesus is quite straight forward and plain. He is clear in saying that the kingdom does not compare itself with secular society. Society outside, allows its members to live a cozy and easy life. Kingdom has restrictions.

Entry into kingdom or receiving of salvation is not the work of man. Man cannot achieve salvation through his efforts. Salvation is totally work of God. Not only salvation buy everything is possible only to God.

மீட்பு என்பது இறைச்செயல். மனிதன் தன் முயற்சியால் இதை அடைய முடியாது. இறையாட்சியில் ஙழைவதும் அதற்கான வழிகளும் இறைவனிடமிருந்தே வருகின்றன.
