For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. \u7f6a\u306e\u652f\u6255\u3046\u5831\u916c\u306f\u6b7b\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002\u3057\u304b\u3057\u795e\u306e\u8cdc\u7269\u306f\u3001\u308f\u305f\u3057\u305f\u3061\u306e\u4e3b\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u30fb\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306b\u304a\u3051\u308b\u6c38\u9060\u306e\u3044\u306e\u3061\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002<\/strong><\/p>\nBecause we are sinners, we are spiritually dead, that is separated from God, at birth. \u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u7f6a\u4eba\u3067\u3042\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u751f\u307e\u308c\u306a\u304c\u3089\u306b\u3057\u3066\u970a\u7684\u306b\u6b7b\u3093\u3067\u304a\u308a\u3001\u3064\u307e\u308a\u795e\u69d8\u304b\u3089\u5207\u308a\u96e2\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
However, what has been freely offered to us by God is eternal life in His Son, Jesus Christ. \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306b\u60dc\u3057\u307f\u306a\u304f\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u305f\u306e\u306f\u3001\u5fa1\u5b50\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u30fb\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u306b\u3042\u308b\u6c38\u9060\u306e\u3044\u306e\u3061\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
In other words, through Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection, we can live with God forever. \u3064\u307e\u308a\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u6b7b\u3068\u5fa9\u6d3b\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u795e\u3068\u5171\u306b\u6c38\u9060\u306b\u751f\u304d\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
However, we need to accept this offer of salvation by believing in Jesus. \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u3092\u4fe1\u3058\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3001\u3053\u306e\u6551\u3044\u306e\u5fa1\u696d\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u5165\u308c\u306a\u3051\u308c\u3070\u306a\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/p>\n
The cross upon which Jesus sacrificed Himself and shed His blood was necessary for our sins to be forgiven and for us to be made right before God. \u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u3054\u81ea\u8eab\u3092\u72a0\u7272\u306b\u3057\u3001\u8840\u3092\u6d41\u3055\u308c\u305f\u5341\u5b57\u67b6\u306f\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306e\u7f6a\u304c\u8d66\u3055\u308c\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u306e\u5fa1\u524d\u3067\u7fa9\u3068\u8a8d\u3081\u3089\u308c\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u4e0d\u53ef\u6b20\u306a\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n
To be made right before God means we can enjoy a relationship with Him and be with Him forever. \u795e\u69d8\u306e\u5fa1\u524d\u3067\u7fa9\u3068\u8a8d\u3081\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u3068\u306e\u4ea4\u308f\u308a\u3092\u697d\u3057\u307f\u3001\u6c38\u9060\u306b\u795e\u69d8\u3068\u5171\u306b\u3044\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u610f\u5473\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
However, there are two important events that were necessary that support Jesus\u2019 sacrificial death upon the cross. \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u5341\u5b57\u67b6\u4e0a\u3067\u72a0\u7272\u7684\u306a\u6b7b\u3092\u9042\u3052\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u5fc5\u8981\u3060\u3063\u305f\u3001\u4e8c\u3064\u306e\u91cd\u8981\u306a\u51fa\u6765\u4e8b\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
They are Jesus\u2019 birth and His resurrection. \u305d\u308c\u306f\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u3054\u964d\u8a95\u3068\u5fa9\u6d3b\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
Of course, without Jesus coming as a human being, He could not have died. \u3082\u3061\u308d\u3093\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u304c\u4eba\u9593\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3053\u306e\u4e16\u306b\u6765\u3089\u308c\u306a\u3051\u308c\u3070\u3001\u6b7b\u306c\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3067\u304d\u306a\u304b\u3063\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
And if Jesus did not rise from the dead, we would not be here this morning. \u3082\u3057\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u304c\u6b7b\u304b\u3089\u3088\u307f\u304c\u3048\u3089\u306a\u304b\u3063\u305f\u306a\u3089\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u4eca\u671d\u3053\u3053\u306b\u3044\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306f\u306a\u3044\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3002<\/p>\n
However, both Jesus\u2019 birth and His resurrection are the very two things that we celebrate most as Christians. \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306e\u3054\u964d\u8a95\u3068\u5fa9\u6d3b\u3053\u305d\u304c\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u304c\u6700\u3082\u795d\u3046\u4e8c\u3064\u306e\u51fa\u6765\u4e8b\u306a\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
Yes, we celebrate Christmas and Easter. \u305d\u3046\u3067\u3059\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u3068\u30a4\u30fc\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\uff08\u5fa9\u6d3b\u796d\uff09\u3092\u795d\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
And both have many similarities and are truly tied to one another. \u305d\u3057\u3066\u3001\u4e21\u65b9\u306b\u306f\u591a\u304f\u306e\u5171\u901a\u70b9\u304c\u3042\u308a\u3001\u4e92\u3044\u306b\u6df1\u304f\u7d50\u3073\u3064\u3044\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

On that first Christmas, the cave was filled with God\u2019s glory through the baby Jesus. \u3042\u306e\u6700\u521d\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u3001\u5e7c\u5b50\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u3092\u901a\u3057\u3066\u3001\u6d1e\u7a9f\u306f\u795e\u306e\u6804\u5149\u306b\u6e80\u3061\u6ea2\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

In the 18th century, the U. S. Congress once issued a special edition of Thomas Jefferson\u2019s Bible. 18\u4e16\u7d00\u3001\u7c73\u56fd\u8b70\u4f1a\u306f\u304b\u3064\u3066\u30c8\u30fc\u30de\u30b9\u30fb\u30b8\u30a7\u30d5\u30a1\u30fc\u30bd\u30f3\u306e\u8056\u66f8\u306e\u7279\u5225\u7248\u3092\u767a\u884c\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
It was a simple copy of our Bible with all references to the supernatural eliminated. \u305d\u308c\u306f\u3001\u8d85\u81ea\u7136\u7684\u306a\u8981\u7d20\u306b\u95a2\u3059\u308b\u8a18\u8ff0\u3092\u3059\u3079\u3066\u524a\u9664\u3057\u305f\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306e\u8056\u66f8\u306e\u5358\u7d14\u306a\u5199\u672c\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n
Jefferson, in selecting, had confined himself solely to the moral teachings of Jesus. \u30b8\u30a7\u30d5\u30a1\u30fc\u30bd\u30f3\u306f\u3001\u305d\u306e\u9078\u5b9a\u306b\u3042\u305f\u3063\u3066\u3001\u3082\u3063\u3071\u3089\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u9053\u5fb3\u7684\u6559\u3048\u306b\u9650\u5b9a\u3057\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
The closing words of his Bible are: \u201cThere laid they Jesus and rolled a great stone at the mouth of the sepulchre and departed.\u201d \u5f7c\u306e\u8056\u66f8\u306e\u6700\u5f8c\u306e\u8a00\u8449\u306f\u3053\u3046\u3067\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\uff1a\u300c\u305d\u3053\u3067\u5f7c\u3089\u306f\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u3092\u846c\u308a\u3001\u5893\u306e\u5165\u308a\u53e3\u306b\u5927\u304d\u306a\u77f3\u3092\u8ee2\u304c\u3057\u3066\u3001\u7acb\u3061\u53bb\u3063\u305f\u300d<\/p>\n
We cannot pick and choose what we are going to believe in the Bible. \u8056\u66f8\u306e\u4e2d\u3067\u3001\u4f55\u3092\u4fe1\u3058\u308b\u304b\u3092\u9078\u308a\u597d\u307f\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3067\u304d\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/p>\n
Thank God, that the actual Bible does not end with just Jesus\u2019 death and burial! \u795e\u69d8\u306b\u611f\u8b1d\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u5b9f\u969b\u306e\u8056\u66f8\u306f\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u6b7b\u3068\u57cb\u846c\u3060\u3051\u3067\u7d42\u308f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u306a\u3044\u306e\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3089\uff01<\/p>\n
Jesus\u2019 resurrection is clearly attested to by angels and the resurrected Jesus was witnessed by more than five hundred people at one time! \u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u5fa9\u6d3b\u306f\u3001\u5929\u4f7f\u305f\u3061\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u660e\u78ba\u306b\u8a3c\u3057\u3055\u308c\u3001\u4e00\u5ea6\u306b\u4e94\u767e\u4eba\u4ee5\u4e0a\u306e\u4eba\u3005\u304c\u5fa9\u6d3b\u3055\u308c\u305f\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u76ee\u6483\u8005\u3068\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\uff01<\/p>\n
And not only was the resurrected Lord Jesus seen by His close followers, but also by His skeptical half-brother James and by Paul a persecutor of the early followers of Jesus. \u5fa9\u6d3b\u3055\u308c\u305f\u4e3b\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306f\u3001\u89aa\u3057\u3044\u5f1f\u5b50\u305f\u3061\u3060\u3051\u3067\u306a\u304f\u3001\u61d0\u7591\u7684\u3060\u3063\u305f\u7570\u6bcd\u5144\u5f1f\u306e\u30e4\u30b3\u30d6\u3084\u3001\u304b\u3064\u3066\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306e\u521d\u671f\u306e\u4fe1\u8005\u305f\u3061\u3092\u8feb\u5bb3\u3057\u3066\u3044\u305f\u30d1\u30a6\u30ed\u306b\u3082\u73fe\u308c\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
All these witnesses of the resurrected Lord Jesus boldly proclaimed His resurrection and suffered and gave their lives in doing so. \u5fa9\u6d3b\u3055\u308c\u305f\u4e3b\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u306e\u3053\u308c\u3089\u306e\u8a3c\u4eba\u305f\u3061\u306f\u7686\u3001\u305d\u306e\u5fa9\u6d3b\u3092\u5927\u80c6\u306b\u5ba3\u3079\u4f1d\u3048\u3001\u305d\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306b\u82e6\u96e3\u306b\u906d\u3044\u3001\u547d\u3092\u6367\u3052\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
