Since then, a crown of justice has been reserved for me.
-Chapter 4 of the Bible, New Testament and 2 Timothy.
Walking out of Sotheby's directional auction, I had a satisfied smile on my face. Who would have thought that the Dead Sea Scrolls, the earliest carrier of the Bible in the world, had a picture tightly attached to my arms.
Back to my residence, I locked myself in the secret room and took out the trophy. According to the revelation, when Paul died, God sealed one of Paul's consciousness in this book. I picked it up and felt the existence of that consciousness carefully.
In an instant, a mighty force rushed into my mind, and little by little, the figure of Sao Paulo solidified in my mind. He, the greatest missionary in the Christian world, once again opened his old and strict pupil after two thousand years!
Righteousness, this is the first feeling that Paul gave me. This is not reflected in his appearance, but generate comes out from his eyes! There is a great momentum of the United States in the past, and there is a great heroism of "although there are thousands of people, I will go on." I bent down slightly to him-although he died a thousand years ago, his obsession with the righteousness of traveling through time and space still deserves my respect.
"Dude, why did you call me?" He turned to look at me and asked in a heavy voice.
I was speechless for a moment. I am an arms dealer, and I have participated in more than half of the arms trade in the world for decades. Relying on the huge profits of arms, I have accumulated a lot of wealth, but I am often awakened by the nightmare of war at night. I am confused about my future, but I still can't make a choice at the intersection of benefit and righteousness. This time, I spent a lot of money to shoot scrolls, just for an answer.
I straightened up and forced myself to look into Paul's eyes. "I'm from the East. I woke you up because I was at a crossroads in my life, hoping to get your advice. "
"Well," he thought for a moment, "let me tell you my story.
"Before I returned to the Lord, I hurt Christians. I am confident that I am a good Pharisee, familiar with the Bible, and believe that the activities of Christ will hurt Judaism. So I am against Christianity and persecute Christians crazily. I later converted to Christ, but I don't think this is a stain in my life-I followed my faith, so how can what I did by following my faith be wrong?
"All the changes took place on my way to Damascus to arrest Christians: Jesus Christ appeared to me, and he told me the true meaning of the doctrine, which made me turn from a lost path to a just path. I still follow my faith, but this time, I will not hurt others, but spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.
"Now that you have chosen, you must stick to it on the road of choice. In my time, Christianity was regarded as heresy, so I encountered great difficulties and crises in spreading the gospel. But I dare to face up to them and deal with them, because I am on the road of following my faith, and even if I fall, I have no regrets.
"Do you understand now? I opposed Christ most vehemently, and later praised Christ most diligently, all because of my love for the world. This is my belief and the path I have chosen. What is the belief in your heart? "
Paul's figure gradually dispersed, leaving me alone to meditate. Believe that the love of the world, from the Chinese point of view, is righteousness. So, this is my way.
I went back to my office, turned on my computer and clicked on the home page of Project Hope. ...
