GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 13:54-58
Is he not the carpenter’s son?
Jesus is identified as a worker. His relatives and friends consider him to be nothing other than their own. They think of Jesus as a person of their village and they identify him through his mother and his brothers. There is a specific identification which links him to his father Joseph. His father is recognized as a carpenter that is his through his work.
This is important because Jesus is considered as a worker or a son of a worker. Though genealogy links to Abraham and David yet the day to day link is to the immediate relationship. It is a positive thing to realize Jesus as a worker. But Jesus also does other activities which link him to the super natural reality which they fail to recognize. They are not able to see him with an eye of faith.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 13:54-58
இவர் தச்சருடைய மகன் அல்லவா?
இயேசுவின் நண்பர்களும் உறவினர்களும் அவரை தங்களின் வாழ்க்கை சூழலை வைத்தே பார்க்கிறார்கள். அவர்களுடைய பார்வையில் அவர் ஒரு தச்சன் (தச்சருடைய மகன்). அவர்களுடைய குடும்பத் தொழிலை வைத்தே அவரை கணிக்கிறார்கள். அது நல்லது தான். ஒருவரைப் பற்றிய நிறைவான அறிவு விசுவாசப் பார்வையையும் உள்ளடக்க வேண்டும்.
