When Amon led the disciples into the hall, the wounded man knelt in front of Yola and begged with the help of his family, while the townspeople watched from the side. Some people sympathized with the unfortunate man and hoped that Jonah could heal him. Others, such as the priests in the temple, were gloating over his misfortune.
It was a dilemma. If Yola did not heal the wounded man, he would be violating the mercy of the Aloha that he preached. But if Yola treated the wounded man today, he would be violating the commandment of the Aloha that the elders of the Aloha called. Yola looked around and understood what was going on. The Cold Priests had purposely created this problem for him and were waiting to grab hold of him.
Yola stepped forward and reached out to help the wounded man up, saying, "God loves the world, please get up."
The wounded man was involuntarily lifted up by a force, but he was still there pleading, "I heard that you have been preaching the faith of the Aloha everywhere, treating people all the way, and you are a magical doctor.
Please heal my arm too! "As he spoke, he grabbed Yola's arm and did not let go.
Yola smiled and asked, "Stranger, which hand are you using to grab me?" The man was stunned, and then everyone in the hall was stunned, because the man used the injured and unconscious hand to grab Yola's sleeve.
Just as Yola held onto his arm to help Hua Hua get up, he healed his arm without batting an eyelid. It was not a very serious injury, but if it was not treated in time, it was very likely that it would be disabled. Yola did not tell him, "I am treating you" or "I want to treat you", but he did it with one hand.
The man moved his arm, and except for some tearing pain in his joints, his entire arm had completely regained feeling and mobility. He exclaimed, "Thank you, thank God! You must be God's messenger, spreading the voice of God! "
"Wow!" Everyone in the hall exclaimed, and everyone began to whisper, praising Yola's magic. The priests who were waiting to watch the show were a little disheartened. They had wanted to find fault with Yola while he was treating the wounded man. If Yola was a doctor, he would have to treat the patient, and if Yola was a magician, he would have to cast divine spells, right? However, Yola was even more brilliant than they had imagined. Just by supporting him, he was able to resolve the pain.
Yorden's disciples couldn't help but secretly laugh. Wasn't this injured person just a dislocated joint? Was there a need to make such a big commotion? It was as if they were putting on a show!
But Joel didn't forget those who wanted to use this incident to embarrass him. He looked around and said, "Today is the Sabbath, and God made a promise with Moses.
"The tribesmen are very hard. After six days of work, they should rest for a day. They should not be forced to work." This is God's way of telling us to be kind, not telling us to refuse to do good on the Sabbath, which would be a violation of God's will.
I know all this in my heart, that some one refused to cure this poor wounded man on the Sabbath, and let him come here to me. I would like to ask all of you, including those people, if you fell on the Sabbath, would you like someone to reach out and help you? God directs us away from sin and toward good works. If a man sins on the Sabbath, should he be stopped?
We can rest on the Sabbath, and we should rest, but we should also do what we should do, and we should not stop the kindness of others. Stopping good is also evil, and stopping evil is also good! What kind of day do you think the Sabbath is? What choice is in line with God's will? "
After saying this, Joel led his disciples away from the meeting hall and went to rest under a big tree by the river next to the town. But what happened in the meeting hall spread throughout the town.
In the evening, people kept coming to salute Joel under the tree and brought him and his disciples all kinds of food. It was as if the whole town was grateful for what he had done, and even more grateful for the inspiration his words had given them.
Not only did Joel solve the problem of the priests of Takleng, but he was also welcomed by the local people. When he preached under the tree the next day, many people gathered around him, and people didn't even go to the temple hall anymore. Obviously, if they had to choose, people would prefer to get the guidance of the Aro River from Joel.
Such a scene made several priests in the Takleng Temple feel a chill in their hearts. Joel's appearance meant that their position was shaken. The tree by the river had become a temple in people's hearts because of Joel's existence. They couldn't let this man continue to do this. They were going to write to the elders in Takleng to report what had happened. They had to find a way to get rid of such a dangerous person.
Just then, a priest said, "Yesterday in the temple, Joel said, 'Stopping evil is good, and stopping good is evil.' Today, someone came to report that he was preaching under the tree about God's forgiveness and mercy. Then let's give him another problem. The mayor has brought the sheriff to catch a criminal. Let them bring the criminal to the tree by the river and see what Joel will do with him. "
While Joel was preaching to the townspeople under the tree, there was a sudden noise in the distance. Someone was shouting, "Townspeople, stop that criminal! Knock him down with stones!"
A man stumbled into the crowd and was soon held down by the people around him. His hands were tied behind his back, and Joel's preaching was interrupted. Everyone was looking at the captured fugitive. Someone recognized him and exclaimed, "Oh my god, isn't that Qiu Qianren? That sinful scoundrel, thank God, we've finally caught him! "
The fugitive named Qiu Qianren seemed to know where he was. He raised his head and shouted, "Why are you arresting me? Who among you is a pure and righteous man? Please tell me!
If any of you are innocent before God, you can stone me to death. If not, what right do you have to accuse me of my crimes? In front of the Aro River, all people are sinners. Someone is preaching about God's forgiveness and mercy. Why do you have to tie me up here? "
Rather than yelling at the townspeople, it was more accurate to say that he was interrogating Yoda. Qiu Qianren only shouted at Joel. As he spoke, he had already stood up. He looked very fierce and ferocious, and the sheriff did not stop him. However, before he could take two steps, Joel had already raised his cane and knocked him to the ground.
Qiu Qianren was hit so hard that he could not get up again.
Yola shouted, "Your crime is your crime. Even if you escaped, it doesn't prove that you're innocent. You've been captured because of what you've done. The existence of sin in the world is not an excuse for evil deeds. You have to bear the consequences of your choices. Everyone should be punished for their mistakes. Just because there are many crimes in the world, one cannot become innocent and wrong can become right.
Even if there is no righteous person here, you should still be punished. Only in this way can the world be further away from sin and closer to good. There are not all righteous people in the world, but you cannot allow sin to cover your shame. Since you know that you are guilty, it means that you know the consequences when you make a choice. Even if you get rid of the pursuit, you still have to accept hatred and condemnation. If everyone else is guilty, it does not prove that your sin is noble.
People can be unrighteous, but they cannot laugh at righteous people, and they cannot accuse others of being unrighteous because of their own mistakes. That is an even deeper sin. Why do we need to examine our hearts? What does God's forgiveness and mercy mean? If people examine their hearts and bear the consequences of their actions, they can usher in a new life for their souls. The new life of the soul is not only after you die, but also after you pay the price and stop doing evil things like you did today. Otherwise, you will never be free, whether it is in the human world or hell.
In this world, not only can evil be punished, but good can also punish evil. Look at the sheriff behind you. He might have stolen his neighbor's chicken when he was young, but it does not mean that he cannot carry out his duty to catch you. If he allows you to continue committing crimes, that will be his unforgivable and unforgivable crime.
Sheriff, what are you still standing there for? Let this person interrupt my preaching with Satan's voice? Quickly carry out your duty and take him to your yamen. "
Qiu Qianren had been hit by Joseph's staff, and his entire body was sore and weak. Under the crowd's gaze, the mayor ordered the sheriff to take him away.
People were still discussing what Joseph had just said. One of Joseph's disciples was also named John, who had the same name as the famous John the Baptist. He frowned and whispered to his companion, "Joseph's words are very reasonable, but if it gets out, I'm afraid it will affect the teacher's reputation. Almost everyone in this world has made mistakes and had sinful thoughts in their hearts. They hope to be forgiven by God in prayer. Our guide should be a forgiving person. Such a thing is not enough to describe his great sentiments. "
Another disciple whispered, "We can tell people another story. A sinner knelt in front of Joseph, and Joseph asked the people, who is the righteous?"
John nodded and said, "People love to hear that kind of story. It is more infectious!"
At that moment, Joseph sighed and asked the crowd, "Who is the righteous?" John and another disciple were shocked and quickly stopped talking to listen to the preaching.
Yori continued, "Let us hold a ceremony and pray to Aloho.
This prayer is not only for God, but also for ourselves. We have no reason to inflict evil on others. God's forgiveness and kindness are to forgive and purify the soul. Even if our souls are not purified, do not lose the true guidance and stay away from the direction of light. " His words were not only for the people to hear, but also for the disciples to hear. After that, he knelt down under the tree with the staff in his hand and entered a state of prayer and meditation. The people around him also knelt down and prayed like Joseph.
