バイブルクラスがおこなわれました
本所緑星教会
18.November,2017
今日のバイブルクラスは4名で行はれました。
詩篇19編を担当の方の訳と解説で学びました。
この詩の前半は神様の被造物の壮大さとそのエネルギーの確かな大きさによって神様の偉大さを表わし、
後半はおそらく神様と人との関係を示した律法についての奨めのように受けとめました。
会の中で宗教改革や私たちプロテスタントの在り様について話し合いました。
「旧プロテスタント」、「新プロテスタント」って自覚が無いままに自分たちはプロテスタントとして信仰生活を送ってきましたが、できればプロテスタンティズムについてももう少し深堀して学びたいと思いました。
次回は詩篇20編を、12月2日教会会議室で午後3時から開催します。
Psalm 19The Voice (VOICE)
Psalm 19
For the worship leader. A song of David.
1 The celestial realms announce God's glory;
the skies testify of His hands' great work.
2 Each day pours out more of their sayings;
each night, more to hear and more to learn.
3 Inaudible words are their manner of speech,
and silence, their means to convey.
4 Yet from here to the ends of the earth, their voicesa]'>[a] have gone out;
the whole world can hear what they say.b]'>[b]
God stretched out in these heavens a tent for the sun,
5 And the sun is like a groom
who, after leaving his room, arrives at the wedding in splendor;
He is the strong runner
who, favored to win in his race, is eager to face his challenge.
6 He rises at one end of the skies
and runs in an arc overhead;
nothing can hide from his heat, from the swelter of his daily tread.
7 The Eternal's law is perfect,
turning lives around.
His words are reliable and true,
instilling wisdom to open minds.
8 The Eternal's directions are correct,
giving satisfaction to the heart.
God's commandments are clear,
lending clarity to the eyes.
9 The awe of the Eternal is clean,
sustaining for all of eternity.
The Eternal's decisions are sound;
they are right through and through.
10 They are worth more than gold--
even more than abundant, pure gold.
They are sweeter to the tongue than honey
or the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 In addition to all that has been said,
Your servant will find, hidden in Your commandments, both a strong warning
and a great reward for keeping them.
12 Who could possibly know all that he has done wrong?
Forgive my hidden and unknown faults.
13 As I am Your servan
t, protect me from my bent toward pride,
and keep sin from ruling my life.
If You do this, I will be without blame,
innocent of the great breach.
14 May the words that come out of my mouth and the musings of my heart
meet with Your gracious approval,
O Eternal, my Rock,
O Eternal, my Redeemer.
