“As you can see, the way Peter describes Jesus and the salvation he brings corresponds with the views that we found in the Gospel according to Luke. Jesus' death does not bring an atonement (contrast Mark's Gospel). It is a miscarriage of justice. Nor does Jesus' resurrection, in itself, bring salvation. It instead demonstrates Jesus' vindication by God. How then do Jesus' death and resurrection affect a person's standing before God, according to this evangelistic speech in Acts? When people recognize how maliciously Jesus was treated, they realize their own guilt before God—even if they were not present at Jesus' trial. They have committed sins, and the death of Jesus is a symbol of the worst sin imaginable, the execution of the prophet chosen by God. The news of Jesus' death and vindication drives people to their knees in repentance. When they turn from their sins and join the community of Christian believers (through baptism), they are forgiven and granted salvation. Thus salvation for Luke does not come through the death of Jesus per se; it comes through repentance and the forgiveness of sins.”

“ഏതൊരു തീരുമാനത്തിന് മുന്പും ധ്യാനത്തിന്റെ ഒരിടവേളയും മൌനത്തിന്റെ സാന്ദ്രതയും വേണം. ശന്തമായിരുന്നാൽ തെളിയാത്ത ഒരു പുഴയും ഇല്ല. പലതിലും നാമെടുക്കുന്ന തിടുക്കത്തിലുള്ള തീരുമാനങ്ങൾ അതിസങ്കീർന്നതയിലെക്കുല്ല ഒരിടവഴിയായി മാറുന്നു. തീരുമാനിക്കുന്നവർക്കും അത് സ്വീകരിക്കെണ്ടവർക്കും ഒരു ധ്യാന പശ്ചാത്തലം ആവശ്യമുണ്ട്. അമിത വൈകാരികതയുടെ തീയിൽ പെട്ട ഒരാൾക്കുട്ടത്തിൽ വാക്കിന്റെ പുണ്യതീർത്ഥം പാഴായിപ്പൊവും.”

“في غار حراء كان النبي محمد يعتزل كل شيء، في ظلمة الغار أضاءت روحه، وفي تلك الحالة فقط جاءه الوحي. في "مكان شرقيّ" اعتزلت مريم العذراء الناس، وهناك جاءها رسول ربها ليهبها نبي الله عيسى. في الكهف اعتزل فتية آمنوا بربهم قومهم الظالمين،فآتاهم ربهم رحمً من لدنه وهيَّأ لهم من أمرهم رشدًا.”

“Instead, their only daughter was only going to Kerala, just a dodgy neighbouring state, doing one of those five-year integrated MA degrees that held no charm, required no intellectual prowess, and did not even further one’s job prospects. ‘Everyone from Kerala comes here to study, but our unique daughter decides to go there. What can I do?’ My father’s intermittent grumbling was amplified by my mother who spoke non-stop about sex-rackets, ganja, alcoholism and foreign tourists, making Kerala – a demure land of lagoons and forty rivers – appear more and more like Goa.”
