16.02.2012 MESSIAH

Posted under Reflections on February 15th, 2012 by

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 8:27-33

 

Jesus had preached to the people. He had done many miracles among them. And in great number the people followed him. Surely people had their own expectations and they were also wondering at the happenings. Jesus wanted to know about their expectations and their understanding of him and his doings. They were very close to the reality but they were not exact. Peter was right in saying that he was the Messiah.

 

Jesus immediately gave the description of the Messiah that he was going to be. Even though the disciples might have understood rightly that Jesus was the Messiah yet they would be wrong in knowing what type of Messiah or role of the Messiah or the way Jesus was going to work out his Messiahship. This description was needed because Peter wanted a different Messiah.

15.02.2012 HEALING

Posted under Reflections on February 15th, 2012 by

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 8: 22-26

 

People brought the blind man to Jesus. They had faith in Jesus. They believed that Jesus would heal this man too. We are not told whether the blind man had any faith in Jesus.  Because the blind man had not seen Jesus working miracles (he would have heard about Jesus). Jesus healed this blind man because of the faith of the people who brought him to Jesus.

 

Jesus led the man away from the crowd and also away from the village. Jesus did not look for publicity. Jesus did not do anything for the self-glory or honour. He did them for the good of the individual and for the glory of God. It was so personal that the touched the individual. He also requested the individual not to publicize what had happened.
