Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 5:17-30

My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.
———————————-
Jesus revealed himself to be the Son of the Father. This revelation was not just that he was the Son. It was more than that. He said that he was identical with the Father. He was doing things exactly as his Father was doing (a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also).

Father is at work always and at all times. So does the Son. There is no break for the Son (Sabbath) from work. Father – Son relationship is based on love. Like the Father, the Son also has authority over life (the Son give life to whomever he wishes). Son has also the power and authority to judge people. Hence the Son also should be honoured like the Father.

‘என் தந்தை இன்றும் செயலாற்றுகிறார்@ நானும் செயலாற்றுகிறேன்”
————————————–
தந்தை மகனை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றார். மகனும் தந்தையை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றார். தந்தை-மகன் உறவு அன்பை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டது. அவர்களிடையே இருப்பது உறவு மட்டுமல்ல மாறாக அவர்கள் எல்லாவற்றிலும் ஒரே மாதிரியாக இருக்கிறார்கள்.

GOSPEL READING: JOHN 5:1-16

Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up
———————————-
It was the festival time. There were crowds of people around. Jesus eyes went straight to the person who was in need. He picked up a conversation with him. Jesus went to him with a mission. He went to help him and not just for a conversation. Jesus chose the needy person.

That individual was in dire need for sure. He had been there for thirty eight years. He might have been sick more than these number of years (probably from birth). No one was there around to help him. Not a single relative of his was around and he had no friend even to stand by him. He was all alone all these years. Jesus went to help him.

ஐயா> தண்ணீர் கலங்கும்போது என்னைக் குளத்தில் இறக்கிவிட ஆள் இல்லை

திருவிழாக் காலத்தில் எருசலேமில் பெரும் கூட்டமிருக்கும். ஆனால் இயேசுவின் கண்களில் பட்டவர் அந்த முப்பத்தெட்டு ஆண்டுகளாய் உடல்நலமற்றிருந்த ஒருவர்தான். அவனுக்கு உறவினர் கிடையாது, நண்பர் கிடையாது, துணை கிடையாது. இயேசுவின் கவனம் எல்லாம் அவன் மேல்தான்.
