27.01.2012 KINGDOM IS A MYSTERY

Posted under Reflections on January 26th, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: MARK 4:26-34

Jesus spoke in parables regarding the kingdom of God. He did not say directly what it is. Even if he had said it the people would not have understood and that was the reason he spoke in parables. Kingdom is like a seed. Seed remains a seed until and unless it is thrown in the mud. There is life and dynamism within the seed which the man does not know. Man can only sow the seed and harvest the grain after the season. What happens in between is not his activity.

A seed also could be as small as the mustard seed yet its complete growth is mighty and rewarding. A single small seed can grow to be a might plant which can shelter many birds. Here again the sower is unaware of the future happenings of the growth. Likewise the kingdom has life within and it is dynamic and there is always growth. The growth is rewarding for others. There is an element of mystery about the kingdom.

26.01.2012 MISSION

Posted under Reflections on January 25th, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 10:1-9

Jesus sends seventy disciples to prepare the way for his mission. His mission is great and he needed many more disciples. Labourers are not sufficient for the work. Lot of work is undone because of the lack of workers. It is in this context, his directions to the disciples have meaning.

By telling them not to carry money or bag for the journey etc is to remind them that they have to be in a hurry to go about with the mission. He tells them not to greet anyone on the way and by so saying he tells them to be in a hurry and there is no time to be greeting people and wishing them well. There is no time to be going around from house to house in stead the message and mission are more important.
