2 Amerikans and 7 Japanese attended.
We studied from Philippians 3:8-12.
Aposl Paul knew the wonderfulness of knowledge of the Christ. That gives us the God's rightousness through only our belief but not by our efforts. This process is far from human abilities. Paul was proud of his ability and human rightousness trying to follow the law before. But he conffesed they were rubbish. He noticed the power of Christ's death and resurrection. He kept on trying to get it. And he wrote we can get it only through our belief not by our effort that is useless. That is why gospel is called "Good news".
This part is mysterious in the bible but very important.
Next MEETS supposed to be on 17th April.
