Northeast India was known by many conspicuous accolades such as “Jewel of India,” “Switzerland of the East”, and many more. Without doubt our past was magnificently good and topographically striking. There was a time we were living in abundance. Streams of fresh water, countless flora and fauna, mountains were indeed grandeur, generosity of your neighbours were immeasurable, traditional values above reproach, colourful customs, pollution of any kind was unheard of. Indeed God must have taken time to create such land where we can’t have even a glimpse of it now. One might not agree with me if I say I feel pity for the present generation. For nowhere we can find such a life of peace and tranquillity our forefather had lived. Yes there was a time they also fought one another and even took somebody’s head to appease the tradition they thought was right and act of valiant. Now, we have to try such rather strange practice and the good life of abundance. I am sure they lived in peace most ...

Is it rediscovering a worth trying/attempting?

I was talking to my congregation last Sunday about the need to rediscover ourselves. Once I came across a sermon by Martin Luther King Jr. about Joseph and Mary forgetting Jesus at Jerusalem during their visit when Jesus was just 12. King Jr. was talking about Jesus' parent forgetting him, thinking that he was with friends or relatives along. many times in our lives to, we thought Jesus is with us or at least with our people or congregation.

Tenants in the Vineyard (Matthew 21: 33-45, Mark 12: 1-12, and Luke 20: 9-19)

No doubt, the parable is subversive and we can see that from the reactions of the chief priest and Pharisees. The parable posts a great challenge and need careful study. In most cases today, it was the owner who is manipulating the poor tenants. The tenants are the one who are tossing and twisting by landlord. Now, certainly we are not identifying with errant tenants in the vineyard. The great challenge here for a pastor is “where can we fit in to the parable?” We are neither tenants nor the owner. Who are we then? We are other tenants who will be given the vineyard by the Landlord! How can we draw meaning and purpose from such subversive parable is a great challenge. In the present world, the resemblances we can observe with that of the errant tenants are our politicians and those big business people who are money mongers. In some way, they are entrusted with responsibilities by God. In Jesus times, chief priest and Pharisees were the “tenants”; entrusted to take care of God’s people ...
