贖　第3部　Via Lucis ヴィア・ルシス　復活の道 26日　偉大な使命　マタイ28:18−20 18 イエスは近づいて来て、彼らにこう言われた。「わたしには天においても、地においても、いっさいの権威が与えられています。 19 それゆえ、あなたがたは行って、あらゆる国の人々を弟子としなさい。そして、父、子、聖霊の御名によってバプテスマを授け、 20 また、わたしがあなたがたに命じておいたすべてのことを守るように、彼らを教えなさい。見よ。わたしは、世の終わりまで、いつも、あなたがたとともにいます。」 いっさいの権威が与えられているので、行きます！イエス様が任命してくださった偉大な使命はチーム（「あなたがた」）でイエスの弟子を作ることです。イエスに「ついていく」、人々と「つながる」、福音が伝わるように「つたえる」、これが弟子の姿です。ローマ10:14 「しかし、信じたことのない方を、どうして呼び求めることができるでしょう。聞いたことのない方を、どうして信じることができるでしょう。宣べ伝える人がなくて、どうして聞くことができるでしょう。」 祈り。イエス様、預言者イザヤが祈ったように、私も祈ります。「ここに、私がおります。私を遣わしてください。」あなたが最後まで一緒にいてくださる約束を感謝します。私自身が弟子となるように作り変えてください。そして、あなたが命じていたように神を愛し、人を愛する道を案内できるように教えてください。

贖　第3部　Via Lucis ヴィア・ルシス　復活の道 24日　ガリラヤ湖の大漁　ヨハネ21:5-7 21:5 イエスは彼らに言われた。「子どもたちよ。食べる物がありませんね。」彼らは答えた。「はい。ありません。」 21:6 イエスは彼らに言われた。「舟の右側に網をおろしなさい。そうすれば、とれます。」そこで、彼らは網をおろした。すると、おびただしい魚のために、網を引き上げることができなかった。 21:7 そこで、イエスの愛されたあの弟子がペテロに言った。「主です。」すると、シモン・ペテロは、主であると聞いて、裸だったので、上着をまとって、湖に飛び込んだ。 愛を受けた弟子が分かりました。足りないところを満たしてくださるのが「主です。」現実的に考えて以前の生活に帰ってしまった弟子のところに、安心して主についていくため、使命に立ち戻って前に進むため、イエス様が行きます。イエス様が与えてくださる正義を着て、イエスに近づくようにと信頼して飛び込んで、また示される方向に網をおろそう。 祈り。イエス様、私の必要を全て満たしてくださっていること、また愛されていること、感謝します。信頼して現状に限らず、あなたへと、あなたの使命へと、飛び込みます。今日、網をおろすべき方向を教えてください。

April 11th: Beginnings/His Call ~ A bow and a gun. Face to face. Red hair, emerald green eyes, curves that trailed endlessly up and down her body. A killer in heels, and she knew it just as well as he did. He was sent to kill her, out to make sure she wouldn't be another problem on the face of the earth, destroying lives one at a time... but he couldn't. There was something about her, something so tempting about Natalia 'Alianovna' Romanova. The infamous Black Widow. How could erasing someone as valuable as her off the face of the planet in fact help SHIELD? Someone of her ability and prowess? Reasoning... maybe reasoning could bring her around so he wouldn't have to send an unholy arrow through her body. "I don't want to kill you." He finally admitted, keeping his bow steady as he eyed her with caution, slightly lowering the bow. "What makes you think I don't?" She rasped lowly, keeping her gun aimed at him, fingers feathering the trigger as she watched him just as intently. "I think we can make negotiate here." "My 'negotiations' usually end in a bullet through the head..." "You come back with me to SHIELD, you know, change your ways. Work some of that blood off your hands you might be willing to. Hell, could have a clean record by the end of this." He suggested, trying to coax her into the idea as he lowered his bow by his side, eyeing her and the gun, watching her finger on the trigger. Something must've been tempting her, he figured, because by the looks of it, her finger was willing to ease off of the gun at the idea. "What if I say no and decide to shoot you dead?" She asked, pursing her lips as she held the gun point blank, her glare on him easing into a playful smirk. "Then, I can end us both with one finger." He added with a slight shrug as his hand curled tight around the bow, his finger grazing over the button on his bow that would activate a bomb, blowing them both to bits. "You either walk away with me and a clean slate, or die a slow death? You seem like you're a pretty intelligent woman... I assume you'd pick option A." She let out a slight laugh, shaking her head a little and lowering her gun on the slightest. "What do you really want, Agent Barton? A good fuck? Is that what this is about?" "Absolutely." He answered almost immediately in a teasing manner, rolling his eyes and taking another step towards her, testing what she'd do. The gun remained lowered by her hip. "No, I just see a lot of potential that could go to waste if I end you here. Plus, I'd like to live a day or two more." "SHIELD's that far gone they need a Soviet murderer to strengthen their name, huh?" And that dirty smirk one her face sent some kind of feeling up his spine that he wasn't too sure of. He couldn't help but smile back and raising his hands in defense. "What can I say? We need more than just me to work as SHIELD's finest." "This doesn't me I trust you entirely." "Nor I you." He added, nodding in agreement as he began to walk, waiting for her to trod beside him. "Then maybe we can work on that along the way, partner." She retorted, grinning smugly and nudging his shoulder as she walked with him, willingly, for once in her life. Sooner than later, it'd be known that Clint Barton was not just the only man she'd ever not strangled between her thighs, but he'd be the only man that ever got her to fall head over heels, because she wanted him. For him alone. And he wanted her... not just for the sex, which was a surprise she'd yet to have seen out of a man. Maybe Clint Barton was a good man.. just maybe.
