(bilingual)”What is the one really needed?”
2023年5月21日
Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.
And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’feet and heard His word.
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Do you love Jesus?
b) Through what kind of deeds/attitudes is your love toward Jesus seen to others?
c) What can you learn from others whose love to Jesus appears to be different from yours?

マルタとマリアでは性格が全く違いました。
イエス様が来たと聞いたら迎えに行き
もてなしたいのがマルタ、動かないけど
イエス様と一緒にいたがるのがマリアです。
形は違うけど、２人ともイエス様を愛してました。
マルタのいけなかったのは、自分の形でない
愛し方を受け入れず、裁いたことだったのです。
①あなたはイエス様を愛していますか。
②あなたがイエス様を愛していることは、具体的にどのような行動となって表れていますか。
③あなたの周りにいるクリスチャンたちのイエス様の愛し方があなたと違うとき、あなたはそこから何を学ぶことができますか。
(bilingual) “Women who became witnesses”
2023年5月14日
Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.
He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid..
Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils.
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,
saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”
And they remembered His words.
Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.
And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.
But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Why did these women go to the tomb of Jesus?
b) What was their motives that pushed them to visit the tomb despite of the danger of being caught by the Roman soldiers?
c) Do you have the same kind of faith from the ones these women have?

母の日・女性祝福礼拝
イエス様が亡くなったのは金曜の午後３時頃で
安息日の直前でした。安息日が終わり女性たちが
墓に行ってみたら墓は開き番兵もおらず、亜麻布が
畳まれ天使が立っていました。ただ女性たちも
弟子たちも復活を疑っていました。それでも神様は
彼らを復活の証人として用いました。それは彼らが
イエス様のことを大好きだったからなのです。
①なぜこの女性たちは、イエス様のお墓に行ったのでしょうか。
②自分たちも捕縛されるかもしれないリスクをおかしてまで、彼女たちがお墓に行ったのはなぜでしょうか。
③あなたはこの女性たちと同じ信仰を持っていますか。
(bilingual) “Love of the one being forgiven”
2023年5月7日
Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat.
And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”
And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Teacher, say it.”
“There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”
Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.”
Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.
You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.
Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to
whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Is your love connected to the forgiveness of your sins?
b) How is your love shown in your daily life?
c) What can you do for your brothers/sisters in Christ so their love toward Jesus increase?
罪を赦された者の愛
2023年5月7日
当時は客人を招いたら、しもべが足を洗い、
頭にオリーブオイルを注ぐのが礼儀でした。
ファリサイ派の人はイエス様の足を洗おうと
しませんでしたが、この女性は泥のついた足を
涙で洗い髪で拭きました。それはこの女性が
罪が赦されて喜びに溢れていたからです。
私たちは神様の愛を今も感じているでしょうか。
① あなたは、罪を赦されていることが、イエス様を愛する愛に結びついていますか。

罪を赦されている喜び
2023年4月30日
ダビデは既婚の女性を妊娠させ、隠し通すため
彼女の夫を戦死させました。本来ならば姦淫は
石で打ち殺さなければなりませんが、ダビデは
「信仰によって」赦されました。今日の聖書は
喜びでダビデが喜び踊った記録です。彼の贖いは
後の時代のイエス様の十字架で全うされました。
その神様が、私達のことも愛して下さるのです。
① あなたはイエス様によって罪を赦されていることが、毎日の生活の中で喜びとなっていますか。
② あなたは、生活の中で予期せぬこと（悪いこと）が起こった時、それでも救われた喜びのゆえに、喜びと感謝を実感できていますか。
③ 私たちの教会にとって、いつも主を喜ぶことと、私たちの罪が赦されていることとは、どのようにリンクし、どのように実践されているでしょうか。

失敗しても好きは好き
2023年4月23日
なぜイエス様が３回も繰り返したか不明ですが
これを聞かれたのはペテロが裏切った数日後です。
裏切ったけどイエス様が大好き、それをイエス様も
知っていて受け入れている様子が分かります。
聖霊を受けた時、彼は殉教していくのです。
ただ、私たちが失敗しないから導かれるのではなく
主は私たちの弱さを超えて、導いて下さるのです。
① イエス様を愛している人が失敗をしたとき、イエス様はその人をどのように思われますか。
② それでは、イエス様を愛していない人が「良い行ない」をするとき、イエス様はどのことをどのように思われると思いますか。
③ あなたがイエス様を愛していることは、どのように証しされていますか。
