GOSPEL  READING:  LUKE  2:22-40

 

Jesus is presented in the temple as the law required. Mary and Joseph were faithful in observing the demands of the law. This is what they taught Jesus to do. Jesus himself later on fulfilled the law and expected his disciples also to observe the law. He objected only when the law went against the person. The person was more important for Jesus than the law. Law itself was not anything negative.

 

Simeon and Anna were the temple ministers and they welcomed Jesus. Indirectly the author was trying to say that the temple or the temple ministers had anything against Jesus. In fact they prophesied about Jesus saying that his birth was the fulfilment of the expectation of the people of Israel and his birth was the fulfilment of the promise of God. It is a double fulfilment.

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 6:1-6

 

Jesus is back in his own home town. He does the normal regular thing as usual. He visits the synagogue on Sabbath. He preaches in the synagogue. All these were the normal activities of Jesus. But the content of his preaching were different. People were surprised at his preaching. They could not accept his new preaching and the content of his new preaching.

 

People usually think of others as they should be. They expect everyone to fit into a frame. Persons of a particular place and time behave in a fixed and expected way. If by chance one behaves differently then people wonder at his ways. This is what happens in the case of Jesus. Relatives and friends expect Jesus to behave according to their expectations but he did not do so and hence they fail to understand him.
