Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 11: 28-30

Jesus sends out an open invitation to his listeners who are over burdened. His listeners are from a community which is exploited by others. These members are exploited by the society and probably they are also exploited by the religious leaders. Jesus goes after them. Meeting them he also sends an invitation. His mission is for people of this sort.

He invites them to be with him. He also wants them to rest a while. The same he does with his disciples who come back after their ministry. He invited them to rest. Jesus is a person who gives rest and relaxation to the people of heavy work. He gives a further invitation to learn from him.

இயேசு தன்னிடம் வரும் மக்களுக்கு அழைப்பு விடுகிறார். அவர்கள தன்னிடம் வரவேண்டும்> இளைப்பாறவேண்டும்> கற்றுக்கொள்ளவேண்டும். ஏனெனில் இயேசுவின் வாழ்க்கை இனியது> எளியது.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 11:25-27

To know the will of God is the greatest gift of all. Men try their level best to discern the will of God. Men can try all their efforts to find but they cannot. It is a revelation. God is a God of revelation. When and where and to whom the revelation of God is given cannot be known. Men can only praise God for revelation.

Jesus is the only one who knows the mind and the will of God. Jesus himself is the revelation of God. Since Jesus reveals God continuously and constantly he is also able to praise God and thank him. The attitude of praising and thanking God is sign of accepting God revelation.

தந்தையின் திருவுளம் அறிவதே சிறந்த கொடை. இறைவனை போற்றும் மனமும் நன்றிகூறும் மனநிலையும் உள்ளவரே தந்தையின் திருவுளத்தை அறிந்தவராவர்.
