30.01.2012 DISCIPLE

Posted under Reflections on January 29th, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: MARK 5:1-20

Jesus meets this possessed man in a foreign land. This man before meeting Jesus was different but after meeting Jesus he became normal. The description of the man before meeting Jesus is quite interesting. He was dwelling among the tombs (= dead man). He was violent (he attacked others and cut himself with stones). He was without clothes (=animal). Totally he was not like a living human person.

After meeting Jesus, he was clothed; he was in his right mind. He was sitting. (All his violent, animal, dead characters disappeared). He wanted to follow Jesus and be a disciple. Jesus sent him back to his community. Could we say that a normal, human person (who has met Jesus) would want to be a disciple of Jesus? And Jesus’ mission was to make man complete and whole and put him back in the community.

29.01.2012 AUTHORITY

Posted under Reflections on January 28th, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: MARK 1:21-28

Jesus’ teaching was different from the rest of the religious teachers, and preachers. The listeners found in his teaching something that was different. He taught them with authority. The others taught what they had learned from, whereas Jesus taught from within. This is the indirect way of Mark telling that Jesus is the Word. Jesus spoke from his own experience of the Father for he had come to reveal the Father.

Even the evil spirits recognized him. In fact they recognize him first and even before he commands them to leave they approve of his authority and ask him not to disturb them. Through this the mission of Jesus is also revealed. That is, Jesus has come to reveal the Father and also to overcome the evil or to remove the evil form the lives of the people.
