"I will return." Powerless Christ According to Mathew 27 in the four Gospels 40 "You destroyer and re-constructor of the temple in three days, save Yourself if You are the Son of God, and come down from the cross!" 41 Similarly, the chief priests with the scribes and the elders scoffed at Him 42 "He saved others but He cannot save Himself. Is He King of Israel? Let Him now come down from the cross and we will believe in Him. 43 He trusts in God? Let Him rescue Him now, if, He wants Him; for He said, "I am the Son of God." 44 The robbers, too, who were crucified with Him, leveled the same reproach at Him. 45 From twelve o'clock, until three darkness lay on all the land; 46 and at about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?"

Seppuku

On Sunday last TV of NHK program in Japan that was the scene of seppuku Asano Takuminokami (the feudal lord of Ako Castle) slashed Kira Kozukenosuke with sword in Edo castle (the castle of Shogun) on March 14th in 1701. The Shogunate ordered Asano Takuminokami to commit ritual suicide hara-kiri in Tamura Ukyodayu's premises. But the Shogunate conveyed Kira Kozukenosuke to take care of Kira's health in disregard of their rule. Asano wears a white costume The cherry blossoms fall down on him He writes down a farewell poem composed on the eve of his death on a strip of fancy paper. ���������@�Ԃ����Ȃ��@���͂� ���@�t�̖��c����@�����ɂƂ₹�� kaze sasou hanayorimo warewamata harunonagorio ikanitoyasen (Invitation of the wind. More than flowers. Yet, I once again On lingering of the spring. How should I handle it! ) Asano's retainer 47 samurai get even with Kira on December 14th in 1702 But 47 samurai was done seppuku too. Now there is not seppuku, though we can watch that by TV drama or movie. This word "seppuku" won't become a dead language.
