The people here have also heard the name of the Son and rejoice for the coming of the Messiah - because God has appointed the Messiah to bring the gospel to the poor and rescue all the oppressed Salem people! As for the carpenter Joseph¡¯s son being also named Jesus, people think that is just a coincidence of the same name. But when the legendary Messiah arrived with his disciples, the blind daters were surprised to find that he was Jesus!
People began to talk about it - "How can he admit that he is the Son of God? Everyone here knows that he is the son of the carpenter Joseph!", "What tricks did Joseph learn in Ecu, and bewitched so many people?" Human?", "I watched him grow up, he is either the Holy Son, or a carpenter in a small village!"
Amid the doubts, Jesus¡¯ preaching is no longer so popular. He looks like a charlatan and a liar. It¡¯s 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, Jesus did not return home in fine clothes. He still wore a coarse robe and held a cane made of branches. There was no crown on his head, no halo on his body, and he did not even sit in a carriage. Instead, he led his disciples on foot. Come on, you still look like ordinary people like the folks.
"If he is said to be the legendary son of Aloha, not to mention the villagers can't believe it, even his parents are murmuring in their hearts. If Jesus had become an official outside, or had made a fortune, or had a high status, and he came wearing fine clothes and leading a splendid motorcade, people might be more accepting of his change in identity.
Jesus understood all this in his heart, so he stopped preaching to the people in his hometown. After settling his disciples, he returned home and continued to help his father with the carpentry work. This actually made the parents feel very relieved that the son they knew was back.
But the disciples could not accept that their Son only did carpentry work at home. After a while, everyone finally couldn't help but come to Jesus and said: "Dear Leader, why did you go back to the village to work as a carpenter? You are the Messiah predicted by the prophets, have you forgotten your mission?¡±
Jesus held a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other and was working on a chair. He sighed to the disciples: "I have never forgotten what I came to do. I returned to my hometown and came to my parents. It¡¯s also a kind of farewell. I don¡¯t have much time left. ¡®Respect your parents and never forget who brought you into this world and gave you life.¡¯ ¨C This is also the agreement God made with Moses.¡±
John asked again: "Then what should we do? Continue to wait for you?"
Jesus shook his head and said: "You are already trapped while I am still here; what will you do if one day I am no longer here? What I spread is the faith guided by God, and you can spread it like me."
The disciples asked: "What should we do?"
"Imitate me!" Jesus replied, "You should all have seen that big bear named Weiwei. Although it can't understand complicated preaching, it can still imitate people's prayers. And you have followed me for so long, don't you mean Haven't you learned anything? When we came into this world, we had nothing and knew nothing.
It is our parents who gave us life and raised us up. All knowledge and skills we learn start from imitation. But in the end, you must clearly know what you are doing, and truly understand and accept the beliefs you are pursuing. Let's go! Go to the villages and do what I used to do, instead of just sitting around and lamenting. "
Jesus sent them to various villages to preach the gospel of God and treat people's illnesses. He specifically ordered: "Don't bring too many things with you when you go out. Pray for those who warmly entertain you. If someone does not welcome your preaching, you should also There is no need to be angry. I have agreed to a deadline of six months and will wait for your return in my hometown."

The disciples who accompanied Jesus were all followers with excellent qualifications and understanding. Jesus awakened their original power for them, focusing on teaching the magic of blessing, and also taught other skills according to their personal strengths. . But Jesus did not explain various levels of achievements like the wizards who guided the temple. Instead, he focused on explaining to the disciples - what tests need to be passed to embark on the road to the kingdom of heaven?
About half a year later, the agreed deadline was coming, and the disciples came back one after another, dusty but happy. They went to various places to preach the gospel of Jesus and spread the faith guided by Aloha according to the method taught by Jesus. Although they were not as successful as Jesus himself, they all achieved their own achievements.
When all the disciples gathered together again, they excitedly talked about their experiences. The gospel preached by Jesus was obviously more popular in the foreign lands than in Nazareth, and Jesus remained at home working as a carpenter.
The disciples couldn¡¯t help but analyze this matter. In fact, they all knew in their hearts what caused Jesus to die in his hometown.Encounter. Peter sighed and said, "Why don't the people in Nazareth understand that Jesus is the true Son of God!"
Judas said: "They have a deep-rooted view, because Jesus was born and raised here, the son of an ordinary carpenter. When they heard the name of the Son before, they thought it was a coincidence of the same name. The Son His name will probably spread throughout the continent along with his deeds, and when people investigate his origins, they will still mention this matter."
Peter clapped his hands and said: "How can Joseph be the son of a carpenter? No! There must be a new interpretation of the deeds spread in the future. The Son of God should be the son of Araha, who was conceived and born by the Holy Spirit! Make a promise to people With this explanation, everything seems perfect.¡±
The disciples had long been convinced that Jesus was the legendary Messiah and the King of Salem who would establish a new kingdom. As they talked, everyone began to look forward to the future. Some people fully believed that in the near future, Jesus would become the king of Salem and the monarch of the Salem plain, and would lead the Salem people and the Samar people to build an unprecedentedly powerful empire. The country was replaced by the Maro Empire. Just like the belief guided by God spread by Jesus, it has gradually replaced the authority of the temple priests among the people.
The disciples' vision for the future quickly turned into a discussion and debate. They were all thinking about what positions they could hold in the court of the new kingdom in the future. For example, who can be the prime minister, who can be the military minister, who can be the interior minister, etc. Peter was the most interested. He thought that he could be the leader of a hundred officials, and the finance minister should of course be Matthew, who had been a tax collector in the Roman Empire.
When the discussion was at its most heated, the disciples suddenly heard Jesus¡¯ voice: ¡°Who do you think I am?¡±
Everyone stopped talking and raised their heads, only to find that Jesus had arrived in front of everyone at some point. Although Jesus had been doing carpentry work at home during this period, he knew very well about the disciples. He often went to the countryside of Bethany on the other side of the river to see Mary. No one knew how he came back and forth. Met him on the road.
After hearing Jesus' question, the disciples replied: "At first, people thought you were the successor of John the Baptist; later, people thought you were another prophet who brought the gospel; and now everyone knows , you are the Messiah appointed by God, you are the Holy Son who has descended into the world, and you will also be the King of Salem! Everyone is eagerly looking forward to you going to the city of Salem and completing the great cause in the prophecy."
Jesus sighed and said: "You have followed me for such a long time and have witnessed everything I have done, but you still don't fully understand who I am. Today it is necessary to explain clearly. Yes, I am the one in the prophecy Messiah, and I have never proactively proclaimed myself in this way. For once the people learn of my coming, they will arouse the desire in their hearts for the King of Salem, who will conquer the Maronites and provide them with free Everything, let the Salem people rule the king of Tianshu continent.
That is not the king I will be. The seeds of my temple have been sown in people's hearts. What you have done in the past six months is to spread this temple all over the Salem plain. When people learn the truth, I'm afraid they'll be disappointed, angry, and think I'm a liar. However, I am indeed the Messiah, and God has not deceived anyone.
Regrettably, I have seen that I will be consumed by the wrath of my enemies, and that my enemies will do to me what they did to John the Baptist, and I will bear the consequences of their sins. You may not understand why this is, because those people are also people who believe in God, but when people think that they are acting on behalf of the supreme God, they have lost their soul, or it is just in the name of siyu.
One day in the future, the faith guided by Aroha will spread throughout the Tianshu continent along with the gospel I spread. The Olympian gods believed by the Maroons will retreat in the dusk and disappear into the immortal eternity and become legends, and the deeds of me, Jesus, will also become another legend. People will also wake up to who I am and what they have done.
When I came to the human world, I not only spread the gospel of Araha and built a temple in my heart, but I also fulfilled my quest and vows. If I fulfill my vow, will people be able to welcome the human world they imagined? I don¡¯t know the answer either, because at this moment, like you, I am still searching. I just pointed out the way to heaven. They are not in the majestic and towering temple. They can only be clearly presented in the soul.
How to view the divine and human natures, do they contain the same origin? I hope to find the answer in Jesus, but it may not be the final answer. Will the world be a better place after me? I leave hope to the world, but the kingdom of heaven is both very close and very far away"
The disciples listened attentively to the Son¡¯s preaching, and finally understood one thing completely: Jesus was not the Messiah that the people of Salem had been eagerly anticipating for hundreds of years. It's not that he is deceiving anyone, he is that person, but people?But he has his own ideas in mind.
