“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" John 10:11.

In today's verse, Jesus shows Himself as the good shepherd who gave His life on the cross to save us. In Psalm 23, David beautifully describes God as a caring shepherd, praising His love, care, comfort, provision, and protection. David also celebrates how God guides, leads, and restores us when we trust Him. God, like a good shepherd, watches over us, keeping us safe from harm, and even risking His life for us. Jesus, our shepherd, desires an intimate relationship with us, saying, "My sheep hear Me, I know them, and they follow Me."

நானே நல்ல மேய்ப்பன், நல்ல மேய்ப்பன் ஆடுகளுக்காகத் தன் ஜீவனைக் கொடுக்கிறான். யோவான் 10:11

இன்றைய வசனத்தில், இயேசு சிலுவையில் தம் உயிரைக் கொடுத்து நம்மைக் காப்பாற்றிய நல்ல மேய்ப்பராகக் காட்டுகிறார்.  சங்கீதம் 23ல், தாவீது கடவுளை ஒரு அக்கறையுள்ள மேய்ப்பனாக அழகாக விவரிக்கிறார், அவருடைய அன்பு, கவனிப்பு, ஆறுதல், தேவைகளை சந்தித்தல் மற்றும் பாதுகாப்பு ஆகியவற்றைப் புகழ்கிறார்.  நாம் அவரை நம்பும்போது கடவுள் நம்மை எவ்வாறு பாதைகாட்டி வழிநடத்துகிறார் மற்றும் தேற்றுகிறார் என்பதையும் தாவீது  ராஜா நினைத்து மகிழ்கிறார் .  கடவுள், ஒரு நல்ல மேய்ப்பனைப் போல, நம்மைக் கண்காணித்து, தீங்குக்கு  விலக்கிப்  பாதுகாத்து, நமக்காகத் தம் உயிரைப் பணயம் வைக்கிறார்.  நம்முடைய மேய்ப்பராகிய இயேசு, "என் ஆடுகள் என் சத்தத்திற்குச் செவிகொடுக்கிறது, நான் அவைகளை அறிந்திருக்கிறேன், அவைகள் எனக்குப் பின்செல்லுகிறது." என்று நம்முடன் நெருங்கிய உறவை விரும்புகிறார்.

"Produce Good Fruits"

Image
The root of the righteous yields  fruit. Proverbs 12:12 Today's verse describes the lives of righteous people as fruitful. When we give our lives to Jesus, the seed of life enters our hearts, and we grow each day by reading and following the Word of God. As we grow and mature, we become like a tree planted by the water, producing good fruits such as joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. We bear fruit in both good and bad times when we are deeply rooted in the Word of God. Beyond bearing fruit personally, we also enable others to grow in the Lord and attain the maturity to bear fruit themselves. Let us live as King David said, "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." நீதிமானுடைய வேர் கனி கொடுக்கும். நீதிமொழிகள்12:12. இன்றைய வசனம் நீதிமான்களின் வாழ்க்கையை பலனுள்ளதாக விவரிக்கிறது.  நாம் நம் வாழ...

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Psalm 84:5 Every day, we need more strength to confront the challenges in our lives. Today's verse suggests that we are blessed when we seek God's strength and follow His ways. We often find ourselves drained of strength due to the words of others, family issues, health concerns, and work-related situations. However, the LORD gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. We can find this strength by maintaining a right relationship with Him, meditating on His word day and night, and walking accordingly. This not only brings us joy in this life, but His word also reminds us that 'the joy of the Lord is our strength.' "உம்மிலே பெலன்கொள்ளுகிறமனுஷனும், தங்கள் இருதயங்களில் செவ்வையான வழிகளைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறவர்களும் பாக்கியவான்கள்."  சங்கீதம் 84:5 ஒவ்வொரு நாளும், நம் வாழ்வில் உள்ள சவால்களை எதிர்கொள்ள நமக்கு அதிக பெலன் தேவை.  இன்றைய வசனம், நாம் தேவனுடைய பலத்தை நாடி, அவ...

"Overcome evil with good."

Image
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:15. Apostle Paul teaches that as followers of Christ, we should not retaliate or seek revenge when wronged. Instead, we are called to always pursue what is good for ourselves and for others. Rather than seeking opportunities to pay back offenders, we should look for opportunities to forgive and bless them. The Bible says, “Overcome evil with good” through direct acts of kindness. If someone wrongs you, not only forgive them but also do them a favor. Let us always strive to do good to one another and to everyone. By living this way, we reflect the love and grace of Christ. In doing so, we become peacemakers in a world that desperately needs peace. Romans 12:17 says, "Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men." ஒருவனும் மற்றொருவன் செய்யும் தீமைக்குத் தீமைசெய்யாதபடி பாருங்கள். உங்களுக்குள்ளும் மற்ற ய...

"Keeping God’s word in our heart gives long life"

Image
With  long life I will satisfy him,  and show him My salvation.” Psalm 91:16. Every day, people are struggling with fear of sickness, darkness, and death. But our God is promising us a long life and the gift of His salvation to us when we trust Him, love Him, and are obedient to Him. Abraham, the friend of God, died in a good old age - an old man and full of years because he followed God faithfully. King Solomon says that if we keep God's words in our hearts, then the length of days, long life, and peace will add to us. Proverbs 10:27 says, “The fear of the Lord prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.” நீடித்த நாட்களால் அவனைத் திருப்தியாக்கி, என் இரட்சிப்பை அவனுக்குக் காண்பிப்பேன்.  சங்கீதம் 91:16. ஒவ்வொரு நாளும், மக்கள் நோய், இருள் மற்றும் மரண பயத்தில் போராடுகிறார்கள். ஆனால் நாம் தேவனை நம்பி, அவரை நேசித்து, அவருக்குக் கீழ்ப்படிந்தால், நம் தேவன் நமக்கு நீண்ட ஆயுளையும் அவருடைய இரட்சிப்பின் பரிசையும் வாக்களிக்கிறார். தேவனின் நண்பரான ஆபிரகாம் ஒரு நல்ல ...

Blog # 363 - "Generosity leads to true prosperity."

Image
The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. Proverbs 11:25. The first part of this scripture says that those who are generous will be made rich or prosperous. In the Bible, prosperity has a lot to do with well-being and flourishing, enjoying the fullness of life as God intends for us. If we want to experience an abundant life, we must be generous. The second part says that he who waters will also be watered himself. Watering takes place in the form of doing a good deed to help others. God has instilled within us gifts of skills and talents to help those around us. We must extend one hand open to God to receive His blessings and extend the other hand to those who are in need. Do you embrace generosity by helping others with the gifts and talents God has given you?  Luke 6:38 says: "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you...

Blog # 334 - "Parental guidance leads to a blessed life"

Image
My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck. Proverbs 1:8-9. In this verse, King Solomon explains how the attitude of children towards their parents should be. Why should they listen to their parents? Fathers often give more instructions on how children should live, while mothers teach good character and guide them on how to live properly. God says that if children listen to and follow the teachings of both their mother and father, they will be a glory in their lives. Proverbs liken parental instructions to beautiful jewelry. Fathers instruct on how to build a well-disciplined life based on the word of God. Mothers teach how to love the Lord, how to establish a closer connection with Him, and how to seek God in times of need. A life built on such instructions and teachings shines like stars, with the brilliance of jewelry on the head and around the neck. Furthermore...

"The Lord is my Helper"

Image
My help  comes  from the  Lord ,  Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2 In every one of our lives, there are situations that go beyond our control. At that time, we turn to God for help. Today’s verse says that our help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth. He gave His only son, Jesus, to redeem our lives from sin, addiction, depression, sickness, weakness, sorrow, pain, emotional hurt, mental health issues, and bondages. If we trust Him, He is there to help us, heal us, provide for us, and protect us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us pray with David, "Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper." வானத்தையும் பூமியையும் உண்டாக்கின கர்த்தரிடத்திலிருந்து எனக்கு ஒத்தாசை வரும். சங்கீதம் 121:2 நம் ஒவ்வொருவரின் வாழ்க்கையிலும், நம் கட்டுப்பாட்டிற்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட சூழ்நிலைகள் ஏற்படும்.  அந்த நேரத்தில், உதவிக்காக கடவுளிடம் திரும்புவோம்.  நமது உதவி வானத்தையும் பூமியையும் படைத்தவரிடமிருந்தே வருகிறது என்று இன்றைய வசனம் கூறுகிறது.  தேவ...
