The people here have also heard the name of the Son and rejoiced in the coming of the Messiah, because God had appointed the Messiah to bring the gospel to the poor and to deliver all the oppressed people of Salem! As for the son of Joseph the carpenter, who was also called Jesus, it was thought to be just a coincidence of the same name. But when the legendary Messiah led the disciples to arrive, the villagers were surprised to find that he was the same Jesus!

The people began to talk about him, "How could he admit that he was the Son, and everyone here knew that he was the son of Joseph the carpenter!", "What trick did Jesus learn in Eju to deceive so many people?", "I watched him grow up, and he was either a son or a carpenter in a small village!"

In the midst of the doubts, Jesus' preaching was no longer so popular, and he looked like a god and a liar. It is no wonder that the villagers have such doubts and thoughts, they have always regarded Jesus as a person like themselves, and it is difficult to accept his transformation.

On the other hand, Josus, on the other hand, did not return to his homeland in fine clothes, he was still dressed in a coarse cloth robe, holding a cane sharpened from a tree branch, without a crown on his head, without a halo on his body, and not even in a carriage, but who led his disciples on foot, and still looked like an ordinary man like the villagers.

If he is the son of the legendary Aroha, not to mention that the villagers can't believe it, even his parents muttered in their hearts. If Jesus had been an outsider or had made a fortune or had a high status, and had come in a splendid caravan dressed in fine clothes, people might have been more receptive to his change of status.

Knowing this, Jesus stopped preaching to the people in his hometown, and after settling the disciples, he returned home to help his father with his carpenter's work. This is a great relief for the parents, and the son they know is back.

The disciples could not accept that their Son was only a carpenter at home, and after some time they could not resist coming to Jesus: "Honorable Guide, why have you returned to the village to become a carpenter?

With a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other, and working on a chair, Jesus sighed to the disciples: "I have never forgotten what I am doing, and it is a kind of farewell for me to return to my hometown and to my parents." My time is running out, 'Respect your parents, and never forget who brought you into this world and gave you life.' This is also a covenant that God made with Moses. ”

John asked, "What should we do then?"

Jesus shook his head and said, "You are already confused while I am here, but what if I am not there one day? I spread the faith that God directs, and you can spread it as I do." ”

The disciples asked, "What are we supposed to do?"

"Imitate me!" replied Jesus, "you should all have seen the great bear called Vivi, who could not understand complex preaching, but who could imitate people's prayers. And you've followed me for so long, haven't you learned anything? We came into this world with nothing and nothing.

It was our parents who gave us life and raised us to Chengren, and we learned all the knowledge and skills from imitation. But at the end of the day, you have to know exactly what you're doing, and really understand and accept what you're seeking. Let's go, go to the villages, do what I did, and not stay by my side and sigh. ”

Jesus sent them to the villages to preach the gospel of God and to heal the sick and sick, and specifically commanded: "You don't have to take much with you when you go out, pray for those who are hospitable to you, and don't be angry if anyone does not welcome your preaching." I have agreed on a deadline of half a year, and I will wait for you to return in my hometown. ”

...... The disciples who accompanied him were all very qualified and enlightened among his followers, and he awakened the power of the source for them, focusing on the art of blessing, and other skills according to their personal strengths. But instead of explaining the accomplishments as the temple wizards did, Jesus focused on the disciples—what tests did they need to pass to set out on the road to heaven?

About half a year later, the agreed deadline was approaching, and the disciples came back one after another, but they were elated. They went to various places to preach the gospel of Jesus, and spread the faith guided by the Aroha in the manner taught by Jesus, and although they were not as successful as Jesus himself, they all achieved their own success.

When the disciples gathered together again, they excitedly talked about what they had seen. The gospel that Jesus preached was clearly more popular in the foreign land than in Nazareth, and Jesus remained at home as a carpenter.

The disciples couldn't help but analyze this incident, but they knew in their hearts what had caused what had happened to Jesus in his hometown. Peter sighed and said, "Why don't the people of Nazareth understand that Jesus is the true Son!"

Judas said: "They had a deep-seated view because Jesus was born and raised here as the son of an ordinary carpenter. When they heard about the name of the Son, they thought it was a coincidence. The name of the Son will spread throughout the continent along with his deeds, and when people inquire about his origins, they will still mention it. ”

Peter slapped his thigh and said, "How can Joshua be the son of a carpenter? No, there must be a new interpretation of the deeds that will be handed down in the future, and the Son of God should be the son of Arroha, conceived and born by the Holy Spirit! ”

The disciples had long been convinced that Jesus was the legendary Messiah, King of Salem, who would establish a new kingdom. As they spoke, they all began to look to the future, and some were full of the expectation that in the near future, Jesus would be king of Salem, ruler of the plains of Salem, and would lead the people of Salem and the Samaritans to establish an unprecedentedly powerful kingdom to replace the Maro Empire. Just as the faith of God's guidance spread by Jesus, the authority of the temple priests has gradually taken over among the people.

The Disciples' vision of the future soon became a matter of discussion and controversy, and they were all wondering what positions they would hold in the court of the new kingdom in the future, such as who could be prime minister, who could be military minister, who could be minister of the interior, ....... Peter's interest was the highest, he thought that he could be the chief of a hundred officials, and the minister of finance should of course be Matthew, who had been a tax collector in the Maro Empire.

At the height of the discussion, the disciples suddenly heard Jesus' voice: "Who do you think I am?"

Everyone stopped talking and looked up, only to find that Jesus had come to everyone at some point. Although Jesus had been working as a carpenter in his home during this time, he was well aware of the disciples' affairs, and he often went to the country of Bethany on the other side of the river to see Mary, and no one knew how he came and went, and no one met him on the way.

Hearing Jesus' question, the disciples replied: "At first, people thought you were the successor of John the Baptist, and later they thought you were another prophet who brought the gospel, but now everyone knows that you are the Messiah appointed by God, that you are the Son who has come to earth, and that you will be the king of Salem! ”

Jesus sighed and said, "You have followed me for so long and witnessed what I have done, but you still do not know exactly who I am, and it is necessary to explain it today." Yes, I am the prophesied Messiah, and I have never taken the initiative to proclaim myself as such. For when people learn of my coming, they will awaken a longing in their hearts, the king of Salem, a king who will conquer the Maro and provide them with everything free, so that the people of Salem will rule the continent of Celestial Hub.

It is not that I will be the king, but my temple is in the hearts of the people, the seed has been sown, and all you have done in the past six months is to spread this temple over the plains of Salem. When people learn the truth, they will be disappointed, and they will be angry, thinking that I am a liar. But I am indeed the Messiah, and God has not deceived anyone.

Regrettably, I have seen that I will be engulfed in wrath and that those who hate me will do to me as they did to John the Baptist, and I will bear their sins. You may not understand why, because those people are also God's people, but people think that when they act on behalf of the Most High God, they also lose their souls, or that is just in the name of selfish desires.

One day in the future, the faith guided by Aroha will spread throughout the Tianshu Continent along with the gospel I have sown. The gods of Olympus, as the Maroe people worshipped, will retreat in the twilight and disappear into immortal eternity as a legend, and the deeds of I, the covenant of Jesus, will become a different story. People will also wake up to who I am and what they have done.

I came to earth not only to spread the gospel of Aroha and build a temple in my heart, but also to fulfill my quest and vow. If I have fulfilled my vows, will people be able to usher in the world they imagine? I don't know the answer, because at this moment, like you, I am still seeking. I have only pointed out the way to the kingdom of heaven, which is not in that magnificent temple, but only in the soul.

What do you think of the surnames of God and the surnames of men, and do they contain the same origin? I hope to find the answer in the case of Jesus, but perhaps not the final answer. Will the world be a better place after me? I give hope to the earth, but the kingdom of heaven is very close and far away......"

As the disciples listened intently to the Son's preaching, they finally understood once and for all that Jesus was not the Messiah that the people of Salem had been waiting for for hundreds of years. It's not that he's cheating anyone, he's the man, but people have their own ideas in their minds.
