GOSPEL READING (Jn 14:15-21)

Jesus has come into this world to give us the presence of God always. He himself is Immanuel (God with us). Now he is saying that he is going to ask the father it send the Holy Spirit among the people. The spirit is going to be with the people always. He is the spirit of truth and he is going to be with the disciples always. Presence of the spirit is always and continuous presence.

The followers are not going to b left as orphans. Jesus himself is going to be with the followers. And the followers will realize his presence in them. Presence of Jesus will not be seen by the world but the followers will feel his presence. The presence of Jesus is like the presence of the father in Jesus and how Jesus himself is present in the father.

The indwelling of the father in Jesus is invisible but certain. Jesus went about preaching and doing mighty works because this realization. The disciples themselves should live so with the realization that Jesus is with them living and working. This indwelling is further strengthened by the presence of the spirit. This indwelling of the father in the son and the son in the followers is confirmed by the love.

இறைவன் உடனிருக்கிறார் என்பதை வெளிப்படுத்தவே இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தார். அதனால் சீடர்கள் அனாதைகளாக இருக்கமாட்டார்கள். இயேசு இருக்கும்வரை கடவுளின் உடனிருப்பு சீடர்களுக்கு உண்டு. ஏனெனில் இயேசுவில் இறைவன் இருக்கிறார்.

24.05.2014 DISCIPLES

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 15:18-21

There are two groups of people. One (group) is those who follow Jesus and the other is those who belong to the world and live according to the standard of the world. These two groups have their point of reference as Jesus. Jesus becomes the criteria. God is not made a reference point in this argument.

The group that is in the world and of the world reacts to Jesus and his followers. Their reactions are of two types. One is that they listen to Jesus. The other reaction is that they hate Jesus and persecute Jesus. The group that belongs to the world will do the same thing to the disciples. They will hate them and persecute them. The followers should be ready for this.

உலகில் இரண்டு குழு மக்கள் இருக்கிறார்கள். ஓன்று இயேசுவின் சீடர்கள்@ மற்றொன்று இவ்வுலகை சார்ந்தவர்கள். இவ்வுலகைச் சார்ந்த கூட்டம் எப்பொழுதும் இயேசுவுக்கும் அவருடைய சீடருக்கும் எதிர்செயல்கள் செய்துகொண்டிருப்பார்கள். ஆகவே சீடனும் இயேசுவைப்போல் வெறுக்கப்படுவார்கள்@ துன்புறுத்தப்படுவார்கள்.
