A book of surprises (1)

God is love. This is his commandment: that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another. Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
1 John 4: 8; 3: 23; 3; 18.

A book of surprises (1)
At the beginning of the 20th century a missionary arrived on a Japanese island. In a small village there he met two brothers, Shosei and Majan and gave them a Bible as a present.

The two started reading it. One morning Shosei said to his brother: "This book is full of surprises! It says here that we should practise love and serve one another. Let's begin living according to the ideas in it from today and always do what it says!"

The next days a beggar passed by; they invited him in and gave him something to eat. When he expressed his amazement they explained: "We're just reading a book that tells us that there is a God of love who is like a Father to us. He only wants what is good for us; so He sent His Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins."

The beggar wanted to hear more from that book and, from then on, sat at the entrance of the two brothers' hut every day to listen to what they read out of the book. Soon others joined, so that there was quite an audience. Many understood what was read, and more and more villagers decided to follow Jesus Christ. Gradually the character of the village changed: old habits disappeared, and their former cult was abandoned. Now people helped each other, and there was seldom an argument.

(to be concluded tomorrow)

Today‘s reading: Numbers 23: 13 - 30 · Matthew 13: 44 - 50

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET


And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
