Chapter 347
The annual festival of offering sacrifices to Aloha is coming, which is the biggest festival for the people of Salem. People from all over the country flock to Salem to pray and thank the gods for their blessing. Along with the sacrificial ceremony is also a folk carnival, all kinds of celebration activities to last for seven days.
The celebration originated from a legend in history. Nearly 400 years ago, when Moses led the ancestors of the Salem people back to their hometown, they were blocked by foreign gods, trapped in the mountains, unable to move forward and without food. Aloha showed a miracle, and the dew on the grass leaves turned into a little white frost ball like snack, which was delicious. Picking up these snacks every day is just enough to satisfy the people.
Moses, who had experienced all this, and the miners in Duke knew that it was a deity who called himself Bakri to tempt them to abandon their faith in the only God of Aloha and believe in him. Moses came down Mount Sinai in good time with the Ten Commandments agreed with Aloha and smashed Bakri’s plot. (Note: see Chapter 186 of this book for details.)
However, history has changed to this day. In his later years, Joshua, an assistant of Moses and a friend of Aesop, collected all kinds of materials about the miracles of Aloha, the history of the people, and the praise of gods, and compiled a Bible of Salem, which formed the classics in the temple of Aloha. The dim sum made of dew drops on the grass leaves was the food given to the people by Aloha for displaying miracles, as recorded in the ancient books in the temple.
Not only that, when the miners in DUK town left eju, Seth, the God of the nine alliance God system, sent a series of envoys to obstruct them, and Moses and others suffered a lot. In today’s temple records, things are completely reversed. The series of “miracles” blocking the progress of Moses and others have become the means of aroha punishing the eju people and blocking the pursuit of eju.
It seems that only such legends can make their gods look perfect. However, there is another question about historical adaptation. If their God Aloha is so omnipotent, why did Moses and other people suffer so much? The Temple priests explained this – it was God testing the world. In fact, Amun himself was not beyond immortality at that time, otherwise it would not be so difficult to bring Moses and others back to DUK plain.
Nearly four hundred years have passed. Every year, at the time of legend, people from all over the country will flock to the temple of Aloha, thank them for their blessings and pray for more blessings from the gods. This celebration is also a folk festival, when there will be a sea of people in Salem. Jesus chose to go there at that time.
Peter said, “our guide, you have made a wise decision. When the Savior appointed by God comes into this world, he will encounter all kinds of tribulations. Satan will bewitch people to hurt you, but many people respect and love you, and those enemies with evil intentions dare not do it easily
Jesus shook his head and said, “I chose the time when I had the most people, not to let them protect me, but to let more people hear the gospel of Aloha and witness my appearance.”
A few days before the celebration, Jesus led his disciples across the river to go back to Mary’s village in the country of Bethany, where they had been stationed some time ago. It was also very close to Salem, and it was convenient to go back and forth. After crossing the river this time, they took a road to the north, which was located in the remote hills in the wild.
In a valley, they met a group of people with terrible faces. Seeing someone passing by, they were afraid to show up in the shed made of branches. Jesus stopped to ask his disciples who they were. When they heard that it was the son of Jesus, they went out of the shed and knelt in the valley and cried, “are you the son? We have heard of your name and deeds. Please have pity on us and pray for your salvation
It turns out that these people have a strange skin disease, their faces and bodies are covered with terrible scars, and the disease can be contagious. The priests in Salem were unable to cure them, and worried that more people would be infected with strange diseases, so they ordered them to leave the city and live in seclusion in the wild. If you want to return to the city, you have to get permission from the priests to make sure that they are cured. Although the Temple priests could not cure the disease, their detection divinity was able to determine who was sick and whether he had been cured.
It’s really hard to treat, but fortunately they met Jesus today. Jesus stretched out his hand over everyone’s head, and his fingertips, with a faint, imperceptible golden light, fell into everyone’s body, as if a mist had dispersed, and then the terrible scars scabbed off.
Jesus waved his hand and said, “now go back to Salem and see the priest. After the examination, the priest will announce that you have recovered.”
The group of people jumped up in surprise and ran across the mountain forest to the north of Salem city. They lived alone in despair for a long time. When they saw the priests in the city, they could be reunited with their families at an early moment. They were all excited and could not wait.
Jesus stood still, watching the figures of these people disappear in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, a man panted, turned and ran back along the original road. He knelt down at the feet of Jesus and said, “son, Messiah, Savior sent by God, please forgive me for my impoliteness. I even forgot to express my gratitude to you, or even left my name and address. My name is will Fromm. I live in Salem. I look forward to the opportunity for you to visit my home. I will try my best to entertain you and your disciples. “Jesus looked at him and laughed, “I saved a group of people. Where are the others? You are the only one who has come back to thank me, so I want to thank you, too Then he reached out and helped him up and said, “now you can go back. The carnival celebration is coming. On the last day of the celebration, please prepare a dinner for my disciples and me. We need a quiet and undisturbed place.”
Weil left gratefully and ran out of the forest. Jesus turned to the disciples and said, “I saved that group, and that’s what they got; and will came back to give thanks, which is my harvest.”
Judas asked, “Dear guide, don’t you hate those who have not been grateful to you?”
Jesus said with a wry smile and shaking his head, “it doesn’t matter to remember. I’m just saving them. I’m not dissatisfied. I’m full of sympathy for their suffering. I didn’t talk about the conditions of thanks when I treated my illness. When I cured the pain, I forgot them
John asked again, “then why do you want to thank will again?”
Jesus said, “not remembering hate doesn’t mean I’ll accept it. Not needing gratitude doesn’t mean I don’t accept it. Only by sincerely accepting that kind of gratitude can more people follow my example. Dear disciples, if I leave you in the future, you should also remember today’s events. ”
……
Jesus and his disciples returned to the village in the countryside of Bethany. Martha and Lazarus prepared a rich meal to welcome their return. They also celebrated that Jesus was going to Salem. This night, the disciples were chatting and having a good time. Only Maria was worried and seemed to have something on her mind. After setting out the dishes, she went back to her room, picked up her jewelry carefully and went out quietly.
After Jesus and others finished eating, Mary came back again, holding in her hand a large fine bottle containing the most precious perfume. Jesus was resting on the couch at the table when Mary came to him and poured drops of ointment on Jesus’ hair and on his bare feet. Then she stooped down and gently smeared the ointment on the instep of Jesus’ feet with her long hair.
It was a ceremony dedicated to the Messiah, which Mary had done in public, and Jesus accepted it, and people realized that he was the son of God. But today Maria did it again at home. It seemed unnecessary. Judas couldn’t help saying, “this perfume is too expensive. Maria, you should save your money for something more useful.”
Mary’s face flashed with gloom. In fact, she knew better than Jesus’ disciples what was going to happen. She just expressed her feelings in this way. Jesus said, “let Mary do this. She is expressing her love and generosity to me, and will become part of the legend.”
At the sight of this scene, Judas, who was wise, also vaguely guessed something, and asked, “Dear guide, you should be very clear that your enemies hate and hate you. You have talked about the mercy and forgiveness of the Savior. Now I would like to ask what kind of person is unforgivable
Jesus sat upright in his chair and told his disciples a story –
there was an official who owed the king a million dollars. The angry king ordered: “sell him and his wife and children as slaves to repay the money owed.”
The official knelt down and cried, “please be kind. I can’t repay such a huge sum of money even after I sold it. Please wait patiently. I will try to repay the debt.”
The king knew he couldn’t afford it, but he was merciful and forgiven him. The official came out of the palace and ran into a servant. He grabbed the servant and said, “what money do you owe me? When will you pay it back?”
“Please give me a little more time. I’ll work hard and I’ll be able to pay it off,” the servant pleaded
However, the official refused to let go. He grabbed the servant and growled, “the deadline has come. You must pay back the money immediately, or you will be sent to prison.” He arrested the servant and sent him to prison.
After hearing the news, the king said nothing more and ordered the official to be sent to prison.
At the end of the story, Jesus looked around the disciples and said, “it is unforgivable to think that one’s actions should be forgiven, but not to others.”
