John 5:14 Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

John 5:14 その後、 イエスは宮の中で彼を見つけて言われた。 「見なさい。 あなたはよくなった。 もう罪を犯してはなりません。 そうでないともっと悪い事があなたの身に起こるから。 」

It’s great to be healed by the grace of God and the persistence of faith. However, you may lose your healing if you don’t get right with God. Miracles show that God loves you, once you get yours show Him that you love Him back by turning from your old ways to His ways. 

“But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

–John 4:23,24

しかし、 真の礼拝者たちが霊とまことによって父を礼拝する時が来ます。 今がその時です。 父はこのような人々を礼拝者として求めておられるからです。神は霊ですから、 神を礼拝する者は、 霊とまことによって礼拝しなければなりません。 」

ヨハネ４章２３、２４節

True worshippers of God are not people who go to church, or even do good things.  Those who love God know that God is a spirit that we are modeled after.  In fact, God is the original Spirit, He must be the Great Spirit that native Americans of days gone by referred to.  If you want to know God, you must worship Him spiritually.  You must raise your hands and throw aside all the stress, confusion, and perversion of the world.  It’s so easy. You just focus on Him and let all the junk fall to the side.  It’s all about Jesus.

2 Samuel 22:33-34God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.

He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.

2Sam. 22:33 この神こそ、 私の力強いとりで。
　私の道を完全に探り出される。

2Sam. 22:34 彼は私の足を雌鹿のようにし、
　私を高い所に立たせてくださる。

John 3:36 (NASB)He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

John 3:36 御子を信じる者は永遠のいのちを持つが、 御子に聞き従わない者は、 いのちを見ることがなく、 神の怒りがその上にとどまる。

The Bible, or God’s plan in Scripture, is very simple to understand. No man has any excuse for misunderstanding it. Jesus constantly invited and provoked study of the Scriptures, and even rebuked men for their lack of knowledge of revealed truth. He attributed all error to a lack of knowledge of the Bible. He answered His critics by saying, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Mt. 22:29). He commanded men to “search the scriptures: for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (Jn. 5:39)

Luke 24:50-53 (NASB)And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising God.

Luke 24:50   それから、 イエスは、 彼らをベタニヤまで連れて行き、 手を上げて祝福された。

Luke 24:51 そして祝福しながら、 彼らから離れて行かれた。

Luke 24:52 彼らは、 非常な喜びを抱いてエルサレムに帰り、

Luke 24:53 いつも宮にいて神をほめたたえていた。

Luke 17:20 ¶ Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

Luke 17:21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

Luke 17:20   さて、 神の国はいつ来るのか、 とパリサイ人たちに尋ねられたとき、 イエスは答えて言われた。 「神の国は、 人の目で認められるようにして来るものではありません。

Luke 17:21 『そら、 ここにある』とか、 『あそこにある』とか言えるようなものではありません。 いいですか。 神の国は、 あなたがたのただ中にあるのです。 」

The Kingdom of Heaven is among us.  It’s not something far away. Jesus brought us the Kingdom.  Now it is our time to preach it.  We’ve got to let people know. JESUS is the only way.  He is amazing!

Luke 17:3 “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Luke 17:3 気をつけていなさい。 もし兄弟が罪を犯したなら、 彼を戒めなさい。 そして悔い改めれば、 赦しなさい。

We hear people telling us to not judge others.  That’s a lie. We need to judge ourselves and beware of sin.  If you see sin in your home or church, you need to deal with it. If you don’t it could be deadly.

He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!  “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

–Luke 17:1,2

イエスは弟子たちにこう言われた。 「つまずきが起こるのは避けられない。 だが、 つまずきを起こさせる者はわざわいだ。
この小さい者たちのひとりに、 つまずきを与えるようであったら、 そんな者は石臼を首にゆわえつけられて、 海に投げ込まれたほうがましです。ルカ１７章１、２

Those who trip up others spiritually, who mislead, or teach falsely will be judged more harshly.  Jesus is really clear on this.  Let’s build up, not go off on silly tangents.  Preach the Word!
