11.01.2013 I DO WILL

Posted under Reflections on January 10th, 2013 by

GOSPEL READING Lk 5: 12-16

“I do will it. Be made clean.”
———————————–
The attitude of the man with full of leprosy is quite interesting. The man looks out for Jesus (he has heard about him); he humbles himself (he fell prostrate); he desired to be cleansed (he pleaded with him); he firmly believed in Jesus ability to cure him; and he prayed to him to be healed. These are also the stages through which the man who wants to be healed goes through.

Jesus’ response also has few stages. Jesus immediately stretched out his hand (he is ever ready to assist); he touched him (his personal attention to any individual); he willed to help (Jesus’ will to heal the humanity); Jesus wished that this event be kept personal and not made public but asked him to follow the instruction of Moses (the healing id something to do with religion; divine); and then Jesus himself went to pray. This is the way any healed should behave.

‘நான் விரும்புகிறேன்; உமது நோய் நீங்குக!”
——————————————
தொழுநோயால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருந்த ஒருவரின் மனநிலை: இயேசுவைத் தேடி கண்டுபிடித்து அவர் காலில் விழுதல்@ அவர்மேல் நம்பிக்கை வைத்து அவரிடம் மன்றாடுதல். இயேசுவும் உதவ விரும்புகிறார்; அவனைத் தொட்டு உதவுகிறார்; இறைவன் கொடுத்த ஒழுங்குகளை பின்பற்ற விரும்பும் அவரே ஜெபிக்கச் செல்கிறார்.

10.01.2013 SCRIPTURES

Posted under Reflections on January 9th, 2013 by

GOSPEL READING Lk 4: 14-22

“Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
—————————————-
Jesus is just beginning his ministry. But the news of him spread throughout the whole region already. The author is making a summary statement in the beginning of the ministry. He was praised by all is another summary statement. Again in this passage the author makes yet another summary statement: “And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.”

Jesus also gives a summary statement of his ministry. His ministry is to bring good news to the poor; to proclaim liberty to captives; to give sight to the blind; to let the oppressed go free etc. All these are not his inventions or dreams. They are found in the scriptures. His life is a fulfillment of scriptures.

‘நீங்கள் கேட்ட இந்த மறைநூல் வாக்கு இன்று நிறைவேறிற்று”
——————————
இயேசு தனது பணியைப்பற்றிய சுருக்கத்தை இங்கு கொடுக்கிறார். இந்த பணியைப்பற்றிய சுருக்கம் தன் பணி என்ன என்றும் அந்த பணி யாருக்கு பயனளிக்கும் என்றும் கூறுகிறது. ஆனால் இவை அனைத்தும் இறைவார்த்தையின் நிறைவு என்று தெளிவு படுத்துகிறார் இயேசு.
