Breaking the Word

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 9:14-29

 

Jesus said: Everything is possible to one who has faith. He often challenged the people saying: you faithless generation. He also said to his disciples saying you men of little faith. These things were not possible to the disciples and his followers because they were people of little faith. Jesus could do all these things because he had faith. Could we say: people (disciple) + faith is Jesus.

 

He also said them, "This kind can only come out through prayer." Jesus knew perfectly well that prayer together with faith could do even the impossible and the difficult ones. Faith alone could do everything but with prayer added to faith everything including the difficult and impossible ones become a reality.

கிறிஸ்துவின் சீடர்களுக்கு இன்றியமையாதது நம்பிக்கை. இறைவன்மேல் உள்ள நம்பிக்கையால் சீடன் எல்லாவற்றையும் செய்யலாம். அப்படியே முடியாதவை கடினமானவை என்று இருப்பின் அவைகளையும் நம்பிக்கையோடு சேர்ந்த ஜெபத்தால் செய்து முடிக்கலாம். இயேசுவால் எல்லாம் முடிந்தது ஏனென்றால் அவரிடம் நம்பிக்கை முழுமையாக இருந்தது. அவர் ஜெபித்தார்.

 

 

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 2:1-12

 

Jesus did not restrict his teaching; preaching and prayer to the religious places (Temple, Synagogue…) only. His prayer, teaching and preaching were done on the mountain, in the plains, in the houses, on the sea shore etc. For him every place and every opportunity was an occasion to preach the word of God. People also listened to him gladly. His teaching was real and he was preaching with authority. Among the crowd there were also Pharisees. Some followed him and his teaching but there were also Pharisees who found fault with his preaching.

 

Jesus always rewarded the faith of the person who needed the healing or the faith of the people who were involved with the individual who needed the miracle. All his healing miracles were the result of the expression of the faith. The sick person is being carried and he could not probably express his faith openly but the people who carried him expressed it in their action and that was enough for Jesus.

இயேசுவின் போதனைகள், புதுமைகள் எல்லாம் கோவில்களிலும் செபக்கூடங்களிலும் நிகழ்ந்தவைகள் அல்ல. இயேசுவுக்கு எல்லா இடங்களும், எல்லா நிகழ்வுகளுமே புனிதமானவை. இறைவனும் இறைவன்மேல் நம்பிக்கையுமே முக்கியமானவை. இறைவன்மேல் நம்பிக்கையே புதுமையை நிகழ்த்த கூடியவை.
