Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 8:19-21

My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.

Kingdom was formed of people. These people were not made of relatives or people who belonged to a group. Kingdom had Jesus as its centre. All the people were turned towards Jesus. They all listened to him. He was communicating something to them. His teachings, his doings and he himself were the main reasons for their coming together.

Jesus announces these people to be his relatives. Kingdom-people are the relatives of Jesus. Jesus does not give importance to the natural relations rather kingdoms relations become the only relations for him. This does not in any way exclude the natural relations. The relations who of natural origin also could become the relations of the kingdom.

‘இறைவார்த்தையைக் கேட்டு அதன்படி செயல்படுகிறவர்களே என் தாயும் என் சகோதரர்களும் ஆவார்கள்” என்றார்.

இறையாட்சியின் உறவுகளே உண்மையான உறவு என்று இயேசு கூறுகிறார். ஆனால் இறையாட்சியின் உறவு இயல்பான இயற்கையான உறவுக்கு எதிரானது அல்ல.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 8:16-18

For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.

Nothing is hidden. And there are no secrets in the world. However one may try to hid facts and keep secrets it will only meet with disappointments. Whatever may be kept hidden but it will come to light. Whatever may be kept secret but it will come to light.

Everyone who works on what he has and produces more will have more (more will be give) and anyone who does not work on what he has then even what he has will be lost (=will be taken away). Word of God is like the light which cannot be hidden but it will be made known to public and this will become the light for those who see it and it will only lead from success to success for those who work on it.

வெளிப்படாது மறைந்திருப்பது ஒன்றுமில்லை: அறியப்படாமலும் வெளியாகாமலும் ஒளிந்திருப்பதும் ஒன்றுமில்லை.

இரகசியம் என்று ஒன்றும் இல்லை. எல்லாமே காலத்திற்கு உட்பட்டது. இன்றைய இரகசியம் நாளைய வெளிப்பாடு.
