Breaking the Word

GOSPEL  READING: JOHN 7: 1,2,10,25-30

 This reading speaks about Jesus and his relationship with the Father. This relationship has been the bone of contention for the Jews. Jesus situation is very clear. He has come from the Father. People do not know about it and the people are not ready to accept it when Jesus speaks about it.

 Jesus was sure that he had come from the Father and God had a plan for Jesus and everything was happening according to God’s plan. People in the world were trying to end the teaching and preaching of Jesus.  They could not however hard they might have tried. His hour had not yet come. For Jesus everything was according to the plan of God.

 நற்செய்திவாசகம்: யோவான் 7: 1,2,10, 25-30

இயேசுஎங்கிருந்துவந்தார்என்றுமக்களுக்குத்தெரியாது. இயேசுயார்என்றும்மக்களுக்குதெரியாது (தந்தைக்கும்இயேசுவுக்கும்உள்ளஉறவு). அவரதுநேரமும்அவர்களுக்குத்தெரியாது. இவைஅனைத்தையும்தெரிந்தவர்தந்தையும்இயேசுவும்மட்டுமே.

GOSPEL  READING: JOHN 5:31-47

“You search the Bible inside out and back to front and you think you have eternal life” is the accusation Jesus is making to some of his listeners. He says that the whole Bible is talking about him. It is like saying that you have the right book but read the wrong way. This seems to be a strong warning to the scholars, preachers, and teachers. There is an intellectual pursuit of the Bible.

Bible should be read in the light of Jesus. Reading of the Bible should lead one into personal knowledge, into adoration, into prayer. Then it will lead the person back into the Bible for further study. From scripture to Messiah and back again is the right process of study of the Bible.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 5:31-47

விவிலிய வாசிப்பு ஒருவரை மீட்பரிடம் இட்டுச் செல்லவேண்டும். விவிலியத்தை தொடக்கமுதல் இறுதிவரை விவிலியத்தை மனதில் பதியவைக்கலாம். பயனில்லை. விவிலிய படிப்பு ஒருவரை மீட்பரிடம் இட்டுச்செல்லவேண்டும். ஜெபத்திற்கு இட்டுச்செல்லவேண்டும். மீட்பரிடம் தனி உறவு உடன்படிக்கை உறுவாக்க வேண்டும்.
