The Great East Japan Earthquake – locus of responsibility

No-confidence motion against Prime Minister Naoto Kan was rejected on 2nd of June. Catch-as-catch-can game of the government in this timing increases victim’s anger and is disagreeably surprised. The Great East Japan Earthquake itself is a disaster but human tragedy was added by a support after the quake.

In Genesis, human beings made a sin for the first time in history. At that time, Adam shifted responsibility to Eve and she shifted responsibility to a snake.

First, the Prime Ministry who has the power of decision has responsibility in Japan and secondly the Democratic Party which is a ruling party has responsibility. In a broad sense, people who voted to the Democratic Party also have responsibility. However, no one in this country carry out responsibility and the locus of it is still up in the air.

The Bible tells clearly responsibility of God who is a creator and people who were created. The one who fulfilled forgiveness of sin by the Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross is God. People need to repent our sins to receive salvation and believe the Savior.

What do people who were already saved do? The one who can go out to the world and become a witness of Jesus is only Christians. On the other hand, that’s the responsibility of churches. God tells us we need to receive the Holy Spirit to do that. 12th of June is Pentecost. We expect the Holy Spirit is upon us and burns us.
