見える者・見えない者
2023年8月27日
イエス様は、目が癒された人に会いに行きました。
彼はイエス様を信じました。救いに必要なのは、
聖書知識でも善行でもなく、ただ信じることです。
イエス様は光として来られましたが、それは自分の
努力に頼ろうとする人の影も浮き彫りにします。
私たちは本当に神に目を向けているでしょうか。
① あなたの心の目は開いていますか。
② イエス様が見えていない人々に、あなたはどのように接しますか。
③ 私たちの心の目をふさいでしまうような罪はありませんか。
(bilingual) “A Testimony of Faith”

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) What works of God has been revealed to the man in John 9 beside heeling his eyes?
b) What kind of power do testimonies have?
c) What of His works have done to yourself so far?
信仰の証し
2023年8月20日
これまで目が癒される奇跡はなく、目を癒す
奇跡をする人が救い主だと預言されており、
ファリサイ派はそう教えていましたが、彼らは
イエスを追放するため、不都合に目をつぶりました。
目の癒しが本当か、両親が呼び出されましたが、
両親は村八分になることを恐れ、「本人に
聞いて下さい」と答えました。私たちも
周りの気にして、口をつぐんでないでしょうか。
①ヨハネ9章に出てくる目をいやされた男性には、目の癒しそのものの他に、どのように神様のわざがあらわされましたか。
②証しにはどのような力がありますか。
③あなた自身に現わされた神様のわざは、どのようなものでしょうか。

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

2023年8月6日
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

偽りの喜び
2023年8月6日
驚くことに9節には、「笑いを悲しみに変え、
喜びを愁いに変えなさい」と書かれています。
8節には「罪人たち、手を清めなさい」とあり
私たちがもし、憎む人の不幸を喜ぶなら、
その事を悲しみ、神の前に悔い改めましょう。
主の喜びが私たちの喜びになる時、神様は
道を開き、本当の解決を与えて下さるのです。
① あなたは主が喜ばれることを喜びとし、主が喜ばれないことを喜ばないですか?
② あなたの心の中に主が喜ばれないことがある時、あなたはどのようにしますか?
③ 罪を悲しむことは大きな恵みであることを、あなたは気づいていますか?

2023年7月31日
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

救いが来た
2023年7月30日
ザアカイという名前は「清い」という意味ですが、
彼は不正に集めた金で徴税人の頭をしてました。
当時徴税人は罪深いものとして人々は口を利くのも
しなかったら、イエス様がザアカイの家に泊まると
言ったとき人々はつまずきました。でもザアカイは
イエス様を受けいれた時、全財産を投げうちました。
それは財産を超える救いが、彼の心に来たからです。
① あなたはイエス様を心の中にお迎えしていますか。
② あなたがイエス様を信じていることは、どのように証しされていますか。
③ 私たちの教会に主の臨在が溢れていると感じていますか。
(bilingual) “Self-Harming”
2023年7月23日
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

自傷行為
2023年7月23日
悪霊に憑かれたこの男は服も着ずに自傷し、
なんとかわいそうと思いますが、世の中には
自分を傷つけている人がたくさんおり、実は
私たちも自分を傷つけているのです。
また、彼が癒された時、喜ばれるどころか、
イエス様に早く出て行ってくれと頼みました。
でもこの姿は、今の私たちにも重なるのです。
① あなたは自分自身を主の栄光のために聖く保っていますか。
② あなたは真の救い主を知らない人々のために、どのように福音を証ししていますか。
③ 私たちの教会が、真の証し人として用いられるために、どのようにしたらよいと思いますか。
