聖書のなかの残念な人たち　Unfortunate people in the Bible

Xで人気の「上馬キリスト教会ツイッター部」のMAROが、聖書のなかで繰り広げられる「残念な人々」の失態を紹介!
「私たちは絶対に正しいし最高!」と調子に乗る人。負けを認められずに、損失をどんどん増やしてしまう人。ダメだと言われるとやりたくなる人。酔っ払って裸で熟睡する人。部下の出世を潰そうとする人。大声で暴言を吐く人。落ち込んでいる人を正論で追い込む人。リーダーになりたがる人……。聖書は「立派な人の立派な行いを書いた本」というイメージがあるかもしれません。しかし、その中には、現代の私たちにとって他人事と思えないエピソードが詰まっています。
聖書とは「人間の残念さの歴史」。人は残念だからこそ救われ、人からも神様からも愛される。2000年前から変わらない「人間の残念さ」を通して自分を見つめ直すとき、きっと悩みや不満、自己嫌悪を乗り越え、生きるのがラクになります。
自称「残念」な著者が贈る、ゆるくて楽しい現代人のための聖書ガイド。

MARO, a member of the popular “Kamima Christian Church Twitter Club” on X, introduces the blunders of “unfortunate people” found throughout the Bible!
People who get carried away and think, “We’re always right and the best!” People who can’t accept defeat and keep racking up losses. People who get motivated when told no. People who get drunk and sleep soundly naked. People who try to sabotage their subordinates’ career advancement. People who yell abusive language. People who push downcast people with sound reason. People who want to be leaders… You might imagine the Bible as a book about the great deeds of great people. However, it is filled with stories that are very relatable to us today.
The Bible is the “history of human unfortunateness.” It is precisely because we are unfortunate that we are saved and loved by both others and God. When you examine yourself through the “unfortunateness of humanity” that has remained unchanged for 2,000 years, you’ll surely overcome worries, dissatisfaction, and self-loathing, and find life easier.
A laid-back and fun Bible guide for modern people, brought to you by a self-described “unfortunate” author.
