Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.””

(11) And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.

[21] He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, 'What do these stones mean?' [22] tell them, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.' [23] For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. [24] He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God. ”

Hebrews 6:1-2 NIV

In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

(4) “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” (5) So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

5. Where does this mind-change come from? From the power of God (and not striving)

Ezekiel 36:26-27 NIV

ニューノーマル−ここまでの６カ月

ヨハネ 21:2-7 JCB

シモン・ペテロ、トマス、ガリラヤのカナ出身のナタナエル、私の兄弟のヤコブ、それに私と、ほかに二人の弟子がいっしょにいました。 (3)「漁に行くぞ」とシモン・ペテロが言いだしました。するとみんな、「それじゃあ、おれたちも」というわけで、そろって出かけました。小舟に乗り込み、漁が始まりました。ところが一晩中かかっても、小さな魚一匹とれません。(4) もう夜明けというころ、だれかが岸辺に立っているのが見えました。ぼんやりかすんでいるので、だれなのかはわかりません。 (5)「魚はとれましたかー。」その人が声をかけてきました。「いやー、全然だめだよー。」 (6)「では、舟の右側に網を下ろしてごらんなさい。きっと、たくさんとれますよ。」さっそくそのとおりにすると、どうでしょう。重くて引き上げられないほど、たくさんの魚がかかったのです。(7)その時、私ははっと気がつき、「おい、あの方は主だよ！」とペテロに言いました。それを聞くと、ペテロは裸だったので、あわてて上着をはおり、水に飛び込みました。

イザヤ 43:19 JCB

わたしは新しいことをしようとしている。 いや、すでに手をつけた。あなたがたの目には見えないか。 わたしの民が故国へ戻るために、荒野に道を造り、 彼らの飲み水として荒野に川を開く。

これからのシーズンをどう生きる？

マルコ2:21-22 JCB

新しいぶどう酒を古い皮袋に入れることもしません。そんなことをしたら、皮袋は張り裂け、ぶどう酒はこぼれ、どちらもだいなしでしょう。新しいぶどう酒には、新しい皮袋が必要なのです。」 こう言えばわかるでしょう。水洗いしていない新しい布で、古い着物の継ぎ当てをしてごらんなさい。どうなりますか。当て布は縮んで着物を破り、穴はますます大きくなってしまうでしょう

これから先神様はあなたに素晴らしいものを用意している！でもあなたが神様から受け取って進む必要がある！

ヨハネ 10:10 JCB

強盗は、盗んだり、殺したり、滅ぼしたりするために来ます。しかしわたしが来たのは、いのちをあふれるほど豊かに与えるためです。

NEW NORMAL-THIS PAST 6 MONTHS

John 21:2-7 NLT

Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. (3) Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. (4) At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was. (5) He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. (6) Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. (7) Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore.

Isaiah 43:19 NLT

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE IN THIS SEASON?

Mark 2:21-22 NLT

(21) “Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before. (22) “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.”

God has something for you. But in  order to live that, you need to hear what he says

John 10:10 NLT

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

NIVAs Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. (39) She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. (40) But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” (41) “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, (42) but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
