Jesus amidst the busy life

Gospel According to John 5;13-15 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was , for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there.Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him ,"See you have been made well .Do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.The man went away told Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. Here we find Jesus disappearing from the crowd.It really happens in our life.Simply Jesus has disappeared from the humanity after the resurrection.We no longer see or find Jesus.We believe Jesus has ascended to Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.Well thatis the creed that we profess everyday and that is the eternal teaching according to the plan of Salvation.But Jesus is with us today, this moment, this place and in this situation.Unfortunately we are blind to His presence.Our spiritual darkness prevent us from seeing Him anymore.We have to open our hearts to Him.Jesus will slowly manifest to us.It is an experienc...

Finding God

Gospel According to John 5;12 They asked him,'Who is the man who said to you,"take it up and walk?"Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there.

Divine and Law

Gospel According to John 5:10-11 So the Jews said to the man who had been cured,"It is the sabbath;it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.But he answered them ,"The man who made me well said to me ,"take up your mat and walk.'" Here John touches upon a sensitive issue of the conflict between law and divine inspirations.Divine inspirations are to rule over earthly stirrings.Upon curing the man Jesus instructed the man to leave the place carrying the mat, a symbol of comfort that he earlier and the same was to be carried with him.It means that all our belongings, possessions and psychic structure are to remain with us.It can be changed only if the Lord wills so.
