GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 5:1-12

He began to teach them.

This is the first time that Jesus is starting his teaching ministry in Matthew’s gospel. Till now it was his private life at home and then he was baptized, then again he was calling his disciples and doing healing ministry. Here now he has gathered enough followers and listeners and he begins his teaching.

It is not a theoretical teaching of some rules and rubrics rather it is about the people. It reflects the target group he is addressing and the target groups for whom he is going to work. The people are identified. These are the people of God: those who are poor in spirit, those who mourn the meek, the merciful etc.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 5:1-12

அவர் திருவாய் மலர்ந்து கற்பித்தவை.

மத்தேயு நற்செய்தியில் இயேசு முதல்முறையாக போதிக்கிறார். இதுவரை பெற்றோரோடு இருந்தவர்> திருமுழுக்குப் பெற்றபின், சீடர்களை அழைக்கிறார், புதுமைகள் செய்கிறார், மக்கள் கூட்டம் அவரை பின்தொடர்கிறது. அவர் திருவாய் மலர்ந்து கற்பித்தவை அவர் யாருக்காக பணிசெய்யப்போகிறாரோ அவர்களைப்பற்றியதாக இருக்கும் எனவும் கருதலாம்.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 13:31-35

“Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.”

There were some moderate Pharisees. So they came up to Jesus and reported to him the intention of Herod. Was it to help him or to prevent him from continuing his work? We do not know their intention. But Jesus was sure of his moves and actions. The purpose for which Jesus came into this world was to gather the people together.

Jesus was not bothered about his death. One day he had to leave this world. Jesus came with a mission and this mission has to be completed. Once the mission is completed then his purpose for living on this earth is completed. Living and not-living are not essentials in life. Living with a mission and completing the purpose for which one came into this world are important.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 13:31-35

‘இங்கிருந்து போய்விடும்@ ஏனெனில் ஏரோது உம்மைக் கொல்லவேண்டும் என்றிருக்கிறான்”

வாழ்வா? சாவா? இயேசுவுக்கு குறிக்கோளை நிறைவு செய்யும் வாழ்வே சிறந்தது. அவர் ஒரு பணிக்காக இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தார். பணியின் நிறைவுதான் வாழ்வா சாவா என்பதை நிர்ணயிக்க வேண்டும்.
