This morning, I want to talk about \u201cSharing Jesus\u2019 Humble Heart\u201d.\u3000 \u4eca\u671d\u306f\u300c\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306e\u8b19\u865a\u306a\u5fc3\u3092\u5171\u6709\u3059\u308b\u300d\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u304a\u8a71\u3057\u305f\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

As Christians, we are to live humbly together with our Lord Jesus Christ. \u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u306f\u4e3b\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u30fb\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u3068\u5171\u306b\u8b19\u905c\u306b\u751f\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

This is because Jesus our Lord is humble, and thus we too are to be humble. \u306a\u305c\u306a\u3089\u79c1\u9054\u306e\u4e3b\u3067\u3042\u308b\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u8b19\u905c\u306a\u304a\u65b9\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3089\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u3082\u8b19\u905c\u3067\u306a\u3051\u308c\u3070\u306a\u3089\u306a\u3044\u304b\u3089\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

This is one of the first and foremost things we must be in coming before God.\u3053\u306e\u3053\u3068\u306f\u79c1\u9054\u304c\u795e\u306e\u524d\u306b\u51fa\u308b\u306b\u3042\u305f\u3063\u3066\u3001\u307e\u305a\u7b2c\u4e00\u306b\u3057\u306a\u3051\u308c\u3070\u306a\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3053\u3068\u306e\u4e00\u3064\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

And it is one of the first things Jesus addressed as part of what is called \u201cThe Beatitudes\u201d found in Matthew 5:3-12. \u305d\u3057\u3066\u3001\u3053\u308c\u306f\u30de\u30bf\u30a4\uff15\u7ae0\uff13\u7bc0\u2212\uff11\uff12\u7bc0\u306b\u3042\u308b\u300c\u3055\u3044\u308f\u3044\u300d\u3068\u547c\u3070\u308c\u308b\u3082\u306e\u306e\u4e00\u3064\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u6700\u521d\u306b\u53d6\u308a\u4e0a\u3052\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The Beatitudes deal with the characteristics of true righteousness that should be found in those who heed Jesus\u2019 message to \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d (Matthew 4:17) \u3053\u306e\u3055\u3044\u308f\u3044\u306f\u300c\u6094\u3044\u6539\u3081\u3088\u3001\u5929\u56fd\u306f\u8fd1\u3065\u3044\u305f\u300d\uff08\u30de\u30bf\u30a4\uff14\u7ae0\uff11\uff17\u7bc0\uff09\u3068\u3044\u3046\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u30e1\u30c3\u30bb\u30fc\u30b8\u3092\u805e\u304d\u5165\u308c\u305f\u4eba\u3005\u306b\u898b\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3079\u304d\u771f\u306e\u7fa9\u306e\u7279\u5fb4\u3092\u6271\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

There are eight characteristics that Jesus lists that have to do with what we are as opposed to what we do. \u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u6319\u3052\u3066\u3044\u308b\u516b\u3064\u306e\u7279\u6027\u306f\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u304c\u4f55\u3092\u3059\u308b\u304b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u3068\u306f\u5bfe\u7167\u7684\u306b\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u304c\u4f55\u3067\u3042\u308b\u304b\u306b\u95a2\u4fc2\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

These characteristics are all interrelated and progressive. \u3053\u308c\u3089\u306e\u7279\u6027\u306f\u3059\u3079\u3066\u76f8\u4e92\u306b\u95a2\u9023\u3057\u5408\u3044\u3001\u9032\u884c\u3059\u308b\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

They are not natural characteristics, and they actually create a sharp distinction between the Christians and non-Christians in the things they admire and the things they seek. \u305d\u308c\u3089\u306f\u81ea\u7136\u306a\u7279\u6027\u3067\u306f\u306a\u304f\u3001\u5b9f\u969b\u306b\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u3068\u30ce\u30f3\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306e\u9593\u3067\u3001\u8cde\u8cdb\u3055\u308c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3068\u3001\u6c42\u3081\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3082\u306e\u3068\u306e\u9593\u306b\u660e\u3089\u304b\u306a\u533a\u5225\u3092\u751f\u307f\u51fa\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Over the next couple of months, Pastor Okura and I will take turns going over each of these Beatitudes. \u3053\u308c\u304b\u3089\u6570\u30f6\u6708\u9593\u3001\u5927\u5009\u7267\u5e2b\u3068\u79c1\u304c\u4ea4\u4ee3\u3067\u3001\u3053\u306e\u3055\u3044\u308f\u3044\u3092\u4e00\u3064\u4e00\u3064\u898b\u3066\u3044\u304f\u3053\u3068\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Newton began his career as a sailor and slave trader, and even the captain of a slave trading ship. \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u30f3\u306f\u3001\u8239\u4e57\u308a\u3001\u5974\u96b7\u5546\u4eba\u3001\u3055\u3089\u306b\u306f\u5974\u96b7\u5546\u8239\u306e\u8239\u9577\u3068\u3057\u3066\u30ad\u30e3\u30ea\u30a2\u3092\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30c8\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

However, after a dramatic conversion to faith in Jesus Christ, he became an Anglican minister and outspoken abolitionist. \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u30fb\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u3078\u306e\u4fe1\u4ef0\u306b\u5287\u7684\u306a\u5909\u5316\u3092\u9042\u3052\u305f\u5f8c\u3001\u82f1\u56fd\u56fd\u6559\u4f1a\u306e\u7267\u5e2b\u3068\u306a\u308a\u3001\u7387\u76f4\u306b\u5974\u96b7\u5ec3\u6b62\u8ad6\u3092\u5531\u3048\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing Grace\u201d was written by Newton as a heartfelt response to the amazing grace that God had shown to him. \u300c\u30a2\u30e1\u30a4\u30b8\u30f3\u30b0\u30fb\u30b0\u30ec\u30a4\u30b9\u300d\u306f\u3001\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u30f3\u304c\u3001\u795e\u304c\u81ea\u5206\u306b\u793a\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u9a5a\u304f\u3079\u304d\u6075\u307f\u306b\u5bfe\u3059\u308b\u5fc3\u304b\u3089\u306e\u5fdc\u7b54\u3068\u3057\u3066\u66f8\u3044\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The first verse of that song speaks of him coming before God as one who was poor in spirit. \u305d\u306e\u6b4c\u306e\u6700\u521d\u306e\u7bc0\u3067\u306f\u3001\u5f7c\u304c\u5fc3\u306e\u8ca7\u3057\u3044\u8005\u3068\u3057\u3066\u795e\u306e\u524d\u306b\u6765\u3089\u308c\u305f\u3053\u3068\u304c\u8a9e\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Newton has left behind many published works, but probably his most enduring legacy has been his penning of the lyrics to \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d. \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u30f3\u306f\u591a\u304f\u306e\u8457\u4f5c\u3092\u6b8b\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u6700\u3082\u4e0d\u6ec5\u306e\u907a\u7523\u306f\u300c\u30a2\u30e1\u30a4\u30b8\u30f3\u30b0\u30fb\u30b0\u30ec\u30a4\u30b9\u300d\u306e\u6b4c\u8a5e\u3092\u66f8\u304d\u6b8b\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3002<\/p>\n

Here is one of Newton\u2019s notable quotes: \u201cThis is faith: a renouncing of everything we are apt to call our own and relying wholly upon the blood, righteousness, and intercession of Jesus.\u201d \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u30f3\u306e\u540d\u8a00\u306e\u4e00\u3064\u3092\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u300c\u4fe1\u4ef0\u3068\u306f\u3001\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u3082\u306e\u3068\u547c\u3073\u304c\u3061\u306a\u3082\u306e\u3092\u3059\u3079\u3066\u6368\u3066\u53bb\u308a\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306e\u8840\u3068\u7fa9\u3068\u57f7\u308a\u6210\u3057\u306b\u3059\u3079\u3066\u3092\u59d4\u306d\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002\u300d<\/p>\n

Newton truly understood that his salvation rested solely on God\u2019s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u30f3\u306f\u3001\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u6551\u3044\u306f\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u30fb\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u3092\u4fe1\u3058\u308b\u4fe1\u4ef0\u306b\u3088\u308b\u795e\u306e\u6075\u307f\u3060\u3051\u306b\u3042\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u3001\u672c\u5f53\u306b\u7406\u89e3\u3057\u3066\u3044\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

However, to be poor in spirit is to have a right and proper evaluation of oneself in relationship to God.\u3000 \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u5fc3\u304c\u8ca7\u3057\u3044\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3001\u795e\u3068\u306e\u95a2\u4fc2\u306b\u304a\u3044\u3066\u3001\u81ea\u5206\u81ea\u8eab\u3092\u6b63\u3057\u304f\u8a55\u4fa1\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

So, one who is poor in spirit is totally dependent upon God for mercy and salvation.\u3000 \u3000\u3000\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3089\u3001\u5fc3\u306e\u8ca7\u3057\u3044\u4eba\u306f\u3001\u3042\u308f\u308c\u307f\u3068\u6551\u3044\u3092\u5b8c\u5168\u306b\u795e\u306b\u4f9d\u5b58\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
