  Were Considered as Sheep for the Slaughter   Romans 8:35-36 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, For your sake we are put to death all day long; we are considered as sheep for the slaughter." This passage is a quote from Psalm 44:22, which says, "For your sake we are put to death all day long; we are considered as sheep for the slaughter." Psalm 44 is a song sung by the Korahites, following their leader. Maskil means instruction. Korah did not acknowledge Moses ’  leadership and tried to enjoy more than God had allowed him, which led to his death. Knowing this, this psalm reminds his descendants that they must trust God to the end, even in times of crisis. This psalm is a prayer of appeal to God offered by the Korahites when the southern kingdom of Judah was invaded by an external enemy (Sennacherib) and faced a national crisis, such as the fa...

  The Way, the Truth, and the Life   John 14:6-7 Jesus answered, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him." After finishing his last meal with his disciples, Jesus said that he was leaving this world and going to God. Jesus, who knew well the worries of his disciples, comforted them by saying, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me." “ In my Father ’ s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ”  This dwelling place refers to the spiritual body (resurrection). It is the clothing of Christ that the reborn wear. Jesus said that his disciples knew the path he was taking because he had been with them for t...

   The one who testifies about that light   John 1:4-5  『 In him was life(zoe)(en auto zoe en), and this life(he zoe) was the light(en to phos) of men(ton andropos). And the light(to phos) shines(painei) in the darkness(en te scotia), but the darkness(he scotia) did not understand(auto u katelraven) 』 ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν. Zoe ( ζω ὴ ) does not have an article, so it refers to the resurrection life that Jesus Christ gives to those who believe in Him, and he zoe ( ἡ   ζω ὴ ) refers to the life of Jesus Christ. En auto zoe en ( ἐ ν   α ὐ τ ῷ   ζω ὴ   ἦ ν ) means, "There was a resurrection life that He shone through." "This life (he zoe) is the light (en to phos) of people (ton andropos)" This life (he zoe) refers to Jesus Christ. En to phos ( ἦ ν   τ ὸ   φ ῶς ) means "by the light." Since there is an article, it refers to a special light, a special p...

  An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth   Matthew 5:38-40  『 You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 』 Exodus 21:22-25 "If men fight together and strike a pregnant woman so that she miscarries (yatzah yered), but there is no further harm, then he shall surely pay the fine, as her husband may require; he shall pay it according to the judgment of the judges. But if there is further harm (ason), then he shall give (nathan): life for life (tachat), eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise." Yazza Yered means premature birth rather than abortion. The child is born into the world, but there is no disaster. Therefore, the child is not a dead abortion, but is born prema...
