Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 19:23-30

For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.

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.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 19:23-30

மனிதரால் இது இயலாது. ஆனால் கடவுளால் எல்லாம் இயலும்

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

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 19:16-22

What do I still lack?

God is the only one who is good. No one on earth is good. All what God has created was good. God has shared his goodness with all his creatures. However the created things are not completely good. They have their limitations. They have their shades of evil in them (Rom 7:23 but I see in my members another principle at war with the law of my mind, taking me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members).

Man who is caught up between good and evil lacks only one thing. Perfection comes only through selling all the wealth and shares them with the poor. Man who is good and bad becomes perfect (completely good) only through sharing the wealth with the poor. Association with the poor is the way to perfection and this should be followed by becoming the disciple of Jesus.

இன்னும் என்னிடம் குறைபடுவது என்ன?

மனிதன் நிறைவுள்ளவனாவதற்கும் அல்லது நல்லவனாவதற்கும் ஒரே ஒரு வழிதான் உண்டு. ஏழைகளோடு தன் உடைமையை பகிர்ந்து கொள்வதன்வழியாகத்தான்.
