We use 'the Japanese colloquial Bible(口語訳)' at our church, which is available from this app. Recently, most churches use '新改訳' which is regrettably not available free. I li…

Easter is over, calm Monday...

This is my favorite place 'Nyhavn' in Copenhagen, Denmark. I used to make a 2-week trip to Europe every year, which was a great joy to me fleeing from my heavy workload at the office. It may have been a luxury trip but I was able to be refreshed and come back to work for the remaining 11 and half mo…

Happy Easter!: He is risen!

今日は復活祭です。^^今日も日本語で失礼します。^^;明日からは英語に戻します。 すると、御使いは女たちに言った。 「恐れてはいけません。あなたがたが十字架につけられたイエスを捜しているのを、私は知っています。ここにはおられません。前から言っておられたように、よみがえられたからです。来て、納めてあった場所を見てごらんなさい。ですから急いで行って、お弟子たちにこのことを知らせなさい。イエスが死人の中からよみがえられたこと、そして、あなたがたより先にガリラヤに行かれ、あなたがたは、そこで、お会いできるということです。では、これだけはお伝えしました。」 そこで、彼女たちは、恐ろしくはあったが大喜びで…

今年は4月21日がイースター：イスラエルの写真(’10)

このブログは英語オンリーのつもりだったのですが、明後日はイースターなので、私の日本語ブログを特別にコピーペイストさせて頂きます。↓ =================================================================== 2019-04-09 毎年使い回しの写真で恐縮ですが、、イースターを間近に控えるとどうしてもお見せしないではいられない写真なのです。一昨日の日曜日からずっと、祈る度にイエス様の受難を思い、涙がこぼれて仕方がありません。。 救われて数十年、沢山の信仰の証体験をしていても、聖書の中の出来事が時を経た今もリアルに胸に迫って来るものがあり…

This coming Easter

Easter is an event as very important as Christmas. We celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from death. He was crucified and died for our sins. Easter doesn't fall on the same day. How is decided? It's the Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox every year. If interested, please…

Exactly so

マリアカラスもこう言っています。本当にそうだと思います。😄 Maria Callas says "Speaking of songs, we are all students until we die." She is one of the famous and talented opera singers of the twentieth century. I believe her words above are absolutely true. Even Callas made an effort, an ordinary person like me has to keep study…
