Chapter 160: Parchment Scroll

That night Jesus stayed at Peter's house, where he was given the warmest hospitality and stayed in Peter's usual bedroom, which was the best house in the village, while Peter and his wife lived next door with their children.

That night, while Jesus was sitting cross-legged on the carpet meditating, Yang Rui pushed the door and walked in. When Jesus saw Yang Rui enter the door, he quickly bowed down and said, "Heavenly Father, welcome to you, I am spreading your eternal truth to the world as you have commanded. ”

Yang Rui sat down in front of Jesus and smiled and said, "Let me ask you, how can you spread everything you said forever and remain intact after thousands of years?" ”

When Jesus heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer Yang Rui's question.

Yang Rui continued: "Word of mouth, generation after generation, facts will become stories, stories will become legends, and legends will eventually become myths." The so-called gods of the peoples of the world are created in this way. If you want the world to accept your thoughts, then you have to put everything you say in a book, so that future generations can hold the book in their hands and feel everything you said back then. ”

Jesus said, "Written in books? ”

Yang Rui took out a stack of parchment scrolls from his bosom and handed them to Jesus, saying, "This is all the things that happened before this world that I asked the angels to write, and your task is to spread the book and finish the second half of it." ”

Holding the parchment scroll in his hand, Jesus reverently said, "This is a Bible that God has given me, how dare you let me continue to write it?" ”

Yang Rui said: "I already know everything that will happen next, but sometimes not everything has to be known to future generations, and you have to be selective in everything that happens, so that you can spread the gospel with a large number of believers." ”

Jesus' expression was full of confusion: "Choice? ”

Yang Rui said: "What you have done is to give future generations a new religion, and religion is flawed, that is because people are not perfect, but need future generations to constantly improve, and I will watch you to see where you will go." ”

Jesus continued to bow down to Yang Rui and said, "Heavenly Father, I will certainly preserve this book and carry it forward. ”

Yang Rui stood up and said, "You still have a long way to go, just one Peter is not enough, you need more people to help you!" So you have to do more miracles so that people can believe you. ”

"More miracles?"

Yang Rui put his hand on Jesus' forehead and said, "My child, although you are from a humble birth, you are the one I have personally selected, and I have never given such power to any living creature in this world, this power is not the power to destroy everything, but the power to change everything, I hope you can make good use of this power." ”

Jesus was stunned and didn't know how to speak, and Yang Rui continued: "Be bold and do what you want to do, you will leave a good legacy in the world, and at the same time a disaster, but it is inevitable because it is the result I want." ”

Jesus asked, "Father, why me?" ”

Yang Rui replied calmly: "Because I chose you." ”

The next day, Jesus led Peter out of the fishing village, and the two set out for Nazareth, Jesus' homeland. Along the way, they met Accord and John, who were also called by Jesus to join their party.

As the group returned to Nazareth in the dust, bad news awaited Jesus.

Jesus' father, Joseph, fell ill and died, and finally closed his eyes before his son returned. As Jesus approached the door, he saw his adoptive father's body perched on the carpet, next to his weeping mother and his siblings.

Jesus did not cry, although his heart was very painful, but he always had a faint smile on his face, he knelt beside his father's body, gently stroked Joseph's hair, and said: "He can finally go to heaven, he saved me and gave me life to come to earth, he is my father and my god." ”

At the same time, Jesus' heart was talking to Yang Rui, and he asked, "I don't want our mother to suffer, you said I can perform miracles, then can I resurrect my father?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Joseph worked hard all his life to take care of your mother and raise you, you can resurrect him, but the world is painful, and it is unfair to treat a good person like this." I have brought your father's soul to Heaven, where he can live forever and there will be no more suffering, and this is my greatest reward for him. ”

Jesus continued: "But I don't want to see my mother suffer like this. ”

Yang Rui said, "Your mother and her duty on earth is to take care of your brothers and sisters, and when they are all grown up, and when you have completed my mission, I will also bring her into heaven and let her be with Joseph forever." ”

Jesus said, "Thank you for the grace of the Father. ”

Yang Rui said: "Go ahead, there are more people waiting for your help outside." ”

Jesus stood up and said to Peter, who was behind him, "Help me to bury my adoptive father so that he can sleep well." ”

On the next day, Joseph's funeral was completed in perfect condition under the auspices of Jesus, and the soul of Joseph, a good Israelite, was laid to rest, and his body was wrapped in layers of shrouds in front of a roaring burnt bonfire, and sent to the crypt in the mountains, where it rested forever.

On the way home, a large number of refugees were seen heading south, their destination was Damascus in the south, the Jerusalem area had become decadent, and those starving pedestrians had to go to new settlements to find a way to survive.

Among those who have fled, it is the elderly and children who have the hardest time walking, as well as those with physical disabilities. Jesus stood on the side of the road and watched the wooden faces pass by before his eyes, and his heart ached.

At this moment, a blind man with a cane in his hand accidentally knocked down Jesus' body and fell to the ground unsteadily.

The blind man hurriedly said, "I'm sorry I ran into you, please accept my apology." ”

Jesus hurriedly helped him up and smiled and said, "I am the one who should apologize." ”

The blind man grinned and said, "Thank you for your generosity." ”

Jesus asked, "Are you not afraid that you are blind and that the road ahead is still long?" ”

The blind man sighed and said, "What can I do, Jerusalem is no longer my hometown, I must go to Damascus in the south with all my might, although I am blind, but I will live." ”

Jesus said: "The fall of Jerusalem was caused by the Israelites' rebellion against God's will, which led to years of calamities, but God did not take away his anger from us, but He has always cared for us, and only by following God's way can we have eternal life." ”

The blind man said, "I want to live now, a happy life has nothing to do with me, and I don't know where God is, because I am blind, I can't see anything, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad people." ”

Then Jesus suddenly put his hands over the blind man's face, and the blind man was startled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Jesus calmly said, "Since you no longer believe in God, then I will perform miracles to show you that God has not forsaken us." ”

With that, Jesus rubbed his hands on the blind man's face and pressed his thumb the blind man's eyes several times. As Peter watched the crowd, the blind man's dim eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and his eyes began to roll.

The blind man trembled with excitement, for he saw again, and saw that the sky was blue, and the earth was yellow, and that the birds were flying in the sky, and that the hares were running on the ground, and besides all this, he saw the merciful Jesus in front of him.

The blind man fell to his knees, leaving his eyes full of excitement, choked and almost speechless.

Jesus lifted him up and said, "See, you see again, this is a miracle, because God has not forsaken us, but He cares for everyone in this world who believes in Him." ”

The blind man said excitedly, "Lord Almighty, say that our Christ, the messenger of God, how you have asked me to thank you for giving me light again." ”

Jesus said, "Go, go to Damascus, let more people know that God exists, let more people know that God cares for them, let them come to Me, and I will show them the way to Heaven." (To be continued.) )
