That they may be one, even as we are one

  That they may be one, even as we are one   John 17:21-23 『 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 』 The idea of ​​ the Trinity explains that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are each God, but the three Gods are one. It promotes mystery by saying that God is one while speaking as if there are three Gods. The idea of ​​ the Trinity causes misunderstanding of Christianity. Jesus Christ is not only God, but also the Son of Man and the Son of God. Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb, and when he was 30 years old, he was baptized by John, and was called the Son of God. Matthew...

Let his blood be on us and on our children

  Let his blood be on us and on our children   Matthew 27:23-25 『 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 』 The priests and scribes gave Jesus to be crucified. As a punishment for the sin of Jesus' death, believers say that the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by Rome in A.D. 70 and Israel was destroyed. On the surface, this may be true. However, the words "returning the blood to the descendants" have a spiritual meaning. Jesus cried out that sinners can return to the kingdom of God not through the law, but through God's grace. He said that he was the Son of God who came to the world for this purpose, and that p...

Pick up your bed and walk

  Pick up your bed and walk   John 5:2-9 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made the whole of whatever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an assurance thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabb...

One hundred and fifty-three large fish filled with fish.

  One hundred and fifty-three large fish filled with fish.   John 21:8-11  『 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it was two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. As soon as they came to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus said to them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 』 The fish symbolizes Jesus Christ, and the net means being in Christ. The fish in the net symbolize the saints who have entered Christ. The sea symbolizes the law. And Simon Peter pulled the net onto land. The land, which is in contrast to the sea (the law), symbolizes the gospel. Those who were under the law were drawn into the gospel, and many fish were caught. The fact that the net was not torn is the fact that salvation is not cancele...

Not one of them will perish, but the son of destruction

  Not one of them will perish, but the son of destruction   John 17:9-12  『 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thin. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled  』 Jesus prays earnestly to God before he dies on the cross and returns to the original kingdom of God. Jesus' prayer is that the disciples are in the world, and that the Father will protect them in His name. It is a request for God the Father to protect the twelve disciples in Christ, the Word. John 17:21  『 That they all may be one; as thou, Fat...
