Chapter 49: Martyred
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Dragon Devouring World!
(The author's preparation for the beginning of a phase has accelerated, readers, sit still.)
Half a month has passed since the answering in the temple, but for the twelve disciples, it is vivid, as if what just happened, in the temple, Joshua directly denied the Jewish priests. If they were irritated, the Jewish priests were cast out as heretics.
However, this is only the beginning. The words of the Jewish priests directly caused the whole city to be restless. The group originally had the aura of the son of God, but after that day, the Jewish priests directly called him an apostate. The awe disappeared, and all kinds of malicious people came to the door one after another, or blackmailed, or questioned, or even devout Jewish believers came to insult, which caused the twelve disciples to deal with it.
But for this situation, Joshua was always noncommittal, just praying silently in the quiet room where he was alone, as if thinking about something.
On this day, another group of people who believed in Baal came to make trouble, but it was because of Judah's cleverness that he drank him out.
In this era, a variety of beliefs converge in the Middle East, and people who believe in different religions are arguing here, even fighting for the differences between beliefs, and what is more, in order to eliminate the roots, they will believe in different religions. The ethnic group was razed directly.
Baal is one of the most powerful religions in the Middle East. It is different from Judaism, which basically can only guard Israel. As the **** of war and the sun god, Baal’s followers are found throughout the Middle East and even Egypt. Widespread, the conflict between the two has been around for a long time, this time the Baal believers saw that the Jewish priests did not see them sheltering them, they were ready to provoke them.
"Really..."
Judas looked at the back of the Baal believers who had left, frowned, and realized that this Jerusalem might not be a long-term place.
But at this moment, a disciple ran to him and said something to him, and Judas's face immediately showed some doubts.
...
In the quiet room, Joshua knelt before his six-pointed star, praying silently.
There is no too much decoration in the small confined space. As Joshua strongly advocates, it is frugal and simple, with only a few candlelights swaying beside him.
Candlelight, six-pointed star, silent prayer.
After decades of baptism, Joshua did not seem to have changed in the end, as if he were a child, sincere and pious.
"Rolling..."
In the ear, a small voice sounded, closed eyes slowly opened, looking at the six-pointed star in front of him, there was only peace in the bright eyes.
"the Lord……"
Behind him, a cautious voice sounded.
"Judas, here you are."
Without looking back, Joshua just looked at the six-pointed star in front of him slowly.
"Ok."
Without answering the words of those behind him, Joshua just stared at the six-pointed star in front of him in a daze. In a daze, the six-pointed star seemed to have changed into countless people and things. For some reason, the memories of the past came one after another, like a high tide, but also a low tide. , I don't understand.
After pondering for a moment, Joshua spoke.
"Judas, you are the wisest among the disciples. Tell me, what do you think the church still lacks now?"
"What is missing?"
Somewhat stunned, he looked at Joshua, who was facing away from him. Judas was a little confused and didn't understand why Joshua talked about this topic, but after hesitating for a while, he honestly said his feelings.
"I think... the church currently lacks a large enough evangelism center, otherwise it is not a way to always preach in the countryside... and it also needs to have its own financial resources. You can try to charge a certain membership fee and so on... As for other things of……"
Behind him, Judas talked a lot, and Joshua just listened in silence.
Over the past few years, Judas has been in charge of the church’s finances. It’s no better to know the various expenses of the church. After all, money is not deceiving. The financial situation is enough to make Judas calm and sober about the current situation of the church. The acquaintance.
The current church seems to be developing rapidly. In the past few years, there have been no fewer than tens of thousands of believers, but in the final analysis, the strength is too weak. The most embarrassing thing is that the church does not even have a suitable missionary office, so that it is about- >>, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Dragon Devouring the World!
Both Shuya and his disciples can only preach in the wild and country for a long time.
And with the huge size of the church, the organization of personnel and various expenses have become more and more expensive. It has been difficult to maintain only relying on donations from the believers. All kinds of severe tests are weighing on Judas's shoulders, making it difficult to sleep at night.
It is precisely because of this that Judas is so eager to get the support of the Jewish priests. With their support, the church can continue to go on and realize the dream of "the same faith".
While listening to Judas telling him behind him, Joshua was silent. When Judas finally said everything he wanted to say, he spoke.
"Judas, in my opinion, these are very important, but these are not what the church lacks most."
"...?"
Astonishment appeared on Judas's face, and then in front of him, with Joshua's back facing Judas, a low voice slowly sounded.
"What the current church lacks most... is a martyr who can lead believers."
Judas opened his eyes wide and looked at him in amazement, but then he vaguely thought of something, his face became a little complicated, and finally he showed a resolute color.
"Lord, if this is your will... Judas is willing to be this martyr."
However, Joshua just closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said.
"It's not you, it's me."
...
No matter how hard Judas tried to persuade, in the end he could not restore Joshua's will.
He is a gentle but sturdy man in his heart, and no one can undo the things he has decided in his heart.
In the end, Judas could only be silent, and bowed to him, and left the quiet room. From the beginning to the end, Joshua did not turn around, and kept his back to his disciple.
When the light leaking through the door disappeared, Joshua opened his eyes, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
No one knows how dazed Joshua, the son of God, has been in his heart over the past few years. No matter how he comforts himself in his heart, he always knows that he has tampered with God’s will and replaced it with Own will.
The scripture never said that God will save everyone, but he always stubbornly said that God will save everyone. The scripture only says that murderers are also killed, but he wants to say that he loves your enemy as if he loves your brother...
What he said was not what he said in the Jewish Scriptures, nor did he even write what he said in any book, because these words were what he said himself and the world he was looking forward to.
Everyone loves and helps each other, pious, simple, don't war, don't kill, everyone gets along in peace.
This is what the doctor who used to be named Han Na longed for. He had seen too many deaths, and he really didn't want to see anyone dying in front of him.
However, his childhood education made him suffer...
"The Blasphemer!"
In his dream, he had dreamed of this scene more than thousands of times. Everyone despised him and insulted him because he deceived them, and what he said was not true.
The **** who used to be infinitely bright in his dreams is extremely terrifying at this moment, and his angry eyes seem to roar at him ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ mortals! How dare you twist my will! "
During the day, he told his followers about God’s tolerance and mercy, seeking peace of mind for them, but at night, he himself was in pain and was the most restless person because he was caught in his compassion and faith. In between, he no longer knew how to face the current situation.
God?
people?
Is it to obey your own compassion as a human being and to comfort the believers, or to stick to your beliefs and obey the will of God?
He doesn't know... really doesn't know...
Precisely because of this, Joshua, who felt that his mind was approaching collapse, finally chose to let himself die as a martyr.
"At least... at least I can help the church a little bit more."
In the quiet room, in the candlelight, there was only a human kneeling on the ground praying silently and the six-pointed star in front of him.
