GOSPEL READING: JOHN 16:29-33
But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
Jesus came into this world to rebuild the relationship with the Father. He wanted the people to reconcile with God and united with him. He started to form a small community of disciples and he taught them everything about thee Father and revealed his own relationship with the Father as model of relationship. Sad story is that His disciples left him alone and ran away.
His firm conviction that the Father was with him sustained him at the moment of loneliness and neglect. The disciples left him one by one and as a group leaving him alone. His faith in the Father and the presence of the Father carried him through even at the moment of death on the cross. This is also a model for the followers that God the Father will always be with his people.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 16: 29-33
ஆயினும் நான் தனியாய் இருப்பதில்லை. தந்தை என்னோடு இருக்கிறார்.
இயேசுவின் அடித்தள நம்பிக்கைகளில் ஒன்று கடவுளின் உடனிருப்பு. இயேசு இவ்வுலகிற்கு வந்தது இறைபிரசன்னத்தை வெளிப்படுத்த. ஆதை அவரே வாழ்ந்து காட்டுகிறார். உலகு முழுவதுமே ஒருவரை தனிமைப்படுத்தினாலும் தந்தையாகிய கடவுள் தன்னோடு இருக்கிறார் என்ற நம்பிக்கை அவசியம்.
