I thought spring was here, but last Sunday at noon I could take this picture:
When I came back to Stranda that afternoon, I had to walk through deep snow.
One week earlier I had changed from snow tires to ordinary tires, so this weekend I went home by bus. I was glad I had left my car here when I saw all that snow on Sunday!
View from school on Monday morning.
It's still quite cold, but spring is trying to conquer winter. The following pictures I took today:
I believe in spring!
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19
One of the songs that has made the strongest impact on me, is Ray Boltz's "Watch the Lamb". The first time I heard it, I was so surprised by the sudden turn of the meaning of the lamb.
A man is going to Jerusalem with his two sons to sacrifice a lamb at the Passover festival. Watch the video at YouTube and see what happens:
ある人は息子二人を連れて、過ぎ越しの祭りに神様にいけにえの小羊を捧げるためにエルサレムへ上ります。ビデオを見ながら、何が起こったか、ご覧になって下さい。
Watch the Lamb! You don't need any sacrifice any more. The Son of God is the real Passover Lamb. He is the Lamb of God, who suffered in stead of you and me. Jesus Christ made himself a sacrifice for our sins, to open the way to God for us.
小羊を見上げなさい。もういけにえを捧げる必要がありません。神の子こそまことの過ぎ越しの小羊です。神の小羊として私たちの身代わりになって、苦しみを受けて下さいました。イエス・キリストはご自身をいけにえとして私たちの罪のために捧げて下さいました。私たちのために神様への道を開くために。
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29
「見よ、世の罪を取り除く神の小羊」 ヨハネ1：29
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honour and glory and praise!" Revelation 5:12
ほふられた小羊は、
力と、富と、知恵と、勢いと、誉れと、栄光と、賛美を受けるにふさわしい方です。 黙示録5：12
