Surah Fussilat (Surah 41 – Explained in Detail) sees forward to the Day of Judgment when people will be marched in ranks to have even their own skin witness against them. They will be told: “But this thought of yours which ye did entertain concerning your Lord, hath brought you to destruction, and (now) have ye become of those utterly lost!” (Surah Fussilat 41:23) Their final verdict will be And We have destined for them intimate companions (of like nature), who made alluring to them what was before them and behind them; and the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, who have passed away, is proved against them; for they are utterly lost. (Surah Fussilat 41:25) This is a powerful reminder that many of us are ‘utterly lost’. Perhaps even you. This creates a problem as Surah Al-Mu’minun (Surah 23 – The Believers) explains Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,- they will attain salvation: But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls, in Hell will they abide. (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23: 102-103) Those whose balance of good deeds is heavy keep a hope of salvation, but for those whose balance is light – they are ‘lost’ with no hope. And Surah Al-Mu’minun says they are lost into destruction. Thus there is a dividing of people between those who are religious and clean (with hope for salvation) and those who are not – the unclean. Isa al Masih came specifically to help the unclean – the lost who are destined for Hell as warned in Surah Fussilat and Surah Al-Mu’minun. Often, religious people will keep themselves apart from those who are not religious so that they do not become unclean. This was also true of the teachers of Sharia law in the time of the Prophet Isa al Masih (PBUH). They kept themselves apart from the unclean so that they would remain pure. But Isa al Masih (PBUH) had taught that our purity and cleanliness is foremost a matter of our hearts. Thus he would associate with those who were not ritually clean. Here is how the injil records both his association with sinners and the reaction of the teachers of sharia law. Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So why would Isa al Masih (PBUH) welcome and eat with sinners? Did he enjoy sin? The prophet answered his critics by telling three parables, or stories. The Parable of the Lost Sheep 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. In this story the prophet (PBUH) likens us to sheep while he is the shepherd of the sheep. Like any shepherd going to search for a lost sheep, he himself is out searching to find lost people. Perhaps you have been caught in some sin – even a secret one that no one in your family knows. Or perhaps your life, with all its problems, is so confusing that it is leaving you feeling lost. This story gives hope because you can know that the prophet (PBUH) is seeking to find and help you. He wants to rescue you before harm destroys you. Then he told a second story. The Parable of the Lost Coin 8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” In this story we are the valuable but lost coin and he is the one searching for the coin. The irony is that though the coin is lost somewhere in the house, it itself does not ‘know’ that it is lost. It does not feel the loss. It is the woman who feels the sense of loss and therefore she sweeps the house very carefully looking under and behind everything, not satisfied until she finds that valuable coin. Perhaps you do not ‘feel’ lost. But the truth is that we all need to repent, and if you have not, then you are lost, whether you feel it or not. In the prophet’s eyes you are the valuable but lost coin and he knows the loss so is looking and working to make repentance clear to you. His third story was the most powerful. The Parable of the Lost Son 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ 31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” In this story we are either the older, religious son, or the younger son who goes far off. Though the older son observed all the religious rules he never understood the loving heart of his father. The younger son thought he was gaining freedom by leaving home but found himself enslaved by starvation and humiliation. Then he ‘came to his senses’ and realized he could go back to his home. Going back would reveal that he was wrong to leave in the first place, and to admit this would require humility. This is an illustration given to us to help us understand what ‘repent’, which the prophet Yahya (PBUH) taught so boldly, really means. When he swallowed his pride and returned to his father he found the love to be so much more than he could have hoped for. The sandals, the robe, the ring, the feast, the blessing, the acceptance – all these speak of love. This story helps us understand that Allah loves us that much, wanting us to return to him. It requires that we ‘repent’ but when we do we will find Him ready to receive us. This is what the Prophet Isa al Masih (pbuh) wants us to learn. Can you submit to and accept this kind of love?

NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU (C) – misna čitanja Prvo čitanje: Izl 32, 7-11.13-14 Čitanje Knjige Izlaska U one dane: Progovori Gospodin Mojsiju: »Požuri se dolje! Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako. Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: ’Ovo je bog tvoj, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!’ Dobro vidim«, reče dalje Gospodin Mojsiju, »da je ovaj narod tvrde šije. Pusti sada neka se gnjev moj na njih raspali da ih istrijebim, a od tebe ću učiniti velik narod.« Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Gospodinom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: »Gospodine! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske snagom velikom i rukom jakom! Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: ’Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.’« I ražali se Gospodin pa ne učini zlo kojim se bijaše zaprijetio svome narodu. Riječ Gospodnja. Pripjev: Ustat ću i poći k ocu svome! Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje! Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti! Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni! Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene! Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja navješćivati hvalu tvoju. Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti. Drugo čitanje: 1Tim 1, 12-17 Čitanje Prve poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Timoteju Predragi: Zahvalan sam onome koji mi dade snagu – Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu – jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri. I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu. Vjerodostojna je riječ i vrijedna da se posve prihvati: Isus Krist dođe na svijet spasiti grešnike,od kojih sam prvi ja. A pomilovan sam zato da na meni prvome Isus Krist pokaže svu strpljivost i pruži primjer svima koji će povjerovati u njega za život vječni. A Kralju vjekova, besmrtnome, nevidljivome, jedinome Bogu čast i slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen. Riječ Gospodnja. Evanđelje: Lk 15, 1-32 Čitanje svetog Evanđelja po Luki U ono vrijeme: Okupljahu se oko Isusa svi carinici i grešnici da ga slušaju. Stoga farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljahu: »Ovaj prima grešnike, i blaguje s njima.« Nato im Isus kaza ovu prispodobu: »Tko to od vas, ako ima sto ovaca pa izgubi jednu od njih, ne ostavi onih devedeset i devet u pustinji te pođe za izgubljenom dok je ne nađe? A kad je nađe, stavi je na ramena sav radostan pa došavši kući, sazove prijatelje i susjede i rekne im: ‘Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh ovcu svoju izgubljenu.’ Kažem vam, tako će na nebu biti veća radost zbog jednog obraćena grešnika negoli zbog devedeset i devet pravednika kojima ne treba obraćenja. Ili koja to žena, ima li deset drahma pa izgubi jednu drahmu, ne zapali svjetiljku, pomete kuću i brižljivo pretraži dok je ne nađe? A kad je nađe, pozove prijateljice i susjede pa će im: ‘Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh drahmu što je bijah izgubila.’ Tako, kažem vam, biva radost pred anđelima Božjim zbog jednog obraćena grešnika.« I nastavi: »Čovjek neki imao dva sina. Mlađi reče ocu: ‘Oče, daj mi dio dobara koji mi pripada.’ I razdijeli im imanje. Nakon nekoliko dana mlađi sin pokupi sve, otputova u daleku zemlju i ondje potrati svoja dobra živeći razvratno. Kad sve potroši, nasta ljuta glad u onoj zemlji te on poče oskudijevati. Ode i pribi se kod jednoga žitelja u onoj zemlji. On ga posla na svoja polja pasti svinje. Želio se nasititi rogačima što su ih jele svinje, ali mu ih nitko nije davao. Došavši k sebi, reče: ‘Koliki najamnici oca moga imaju kruha napretek, a ja ovdje umirem od gladi! Ustat ću, poći svomu ocu i reći mu: ‘Oče, sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom! Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim. Primi me kao jednog od svojih najamnika.’ Usta i pođe svom ocu. Dok je još bio daleko, njegov ga otac ugleda, ganu se, potrča, pade mu oko vrata i izljubi ga. A sin će mu: ‘Oče! Sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom! Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim.’ A otac reče slugama: ‘Brzo iznesite haljinu najljepšu i obucite ga! Stavite mu prsten na ruku i obuću na noge! Tele ugojeno dovedite i zakoljite, pa da se pogostimo i proveselimo jer sin mi ovaj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen bijaše i nađe se!’ I stadoše se veseliti. »A stariji mu sin bijaše u polju. Kad se na povratku približio kući, začu svirku i igru pa dozva jednoga slugu da se raspita što je to. A ovaj će mu: ‘Došao tvoj brat pa otac tvoj zakla tele ugojeno što sina zdrava dočeka.’ A on se rasrdi i ne htjede ući. Otac tada iziđe i stane ga nagovarati. A on će ocu: ‘Evo, toliko ti godina služim i nikada ne prestupih tvoju zapovijed, a nikad mi ni jareta nisi dao da se s prijateljima proveselim. A kada dođe ovaj sin tvoj koji s bludnicama proždrije tvoje imanje, ti mu zakla ugojeno tele.’ Nato će mu otac: ‘Sinko, ti si uvijek sa mnom i sve moje – tvoje je. No trebalo se veseliti i radovati jer ovaj brat tvoj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen i nađe se!’« Riječ Gospodnja.
