<h3>What am I doing now?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am witnessing how God fulfils Biblical prophecies. For example, Lord Jesus Christ predicted that
|
|
"the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven". (Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24, Verse 30).
|
|
Lord Jesus calls himself the "Son of Man". True enough, on 21st of December 2020, Jupiter and Saturn appeared close together in the evening sky
|
|
(from our point of view on Earth). In many news reports, this occurrence - called a conjunction - also had
|
|
the name of "Christmas Star".
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So, what now?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>From a Biblical perspective, I am called to
|
|
serve mankind, and to "go and make disciples of all nations". (
|
|
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028%3A19-20&version=NIV">
|
|
The gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28, Verses 19 and 20</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If anyone - or, say, someone named Cathy - asks me whether God is willing to forgive Cathy
|
|
for Cathy's sins, I would say, "Yes, God wants you to be His child, Cathy. He wants to be your God.
|
|
He loves you so much, that He has prepared His own son to die in your place, for the sins you
|
|
have done. (The outcome of sin is death). But if we accept Lord Christ Jesus's sacrifice for us
|
|
(and call Jesus our Lord),
|
|
and - with a faith that can be as small as a mustard seed - believe that God has raised Lord Jesus
|
|
from the dead, we will be saved. We will be in a loving relationship with God. Of course, we must sin no
|
|
more, and ask God what kind of life He wants us to lead from now on. And we must do His will, not just hear it."
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>God says, "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
|
|
(the book of Jeremiah, in the Bible. Chapter 29, Verse 13). Will Cathy return to God?
|
|
This God has knitted Cathy together while she was in her mother's womb. I implore Cathy to be
|
|
reconciled to God (while God's patience remains).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What else am I doing?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am participating in an exchange of language and culture, with international people, as part of the organisation Mundo Lingo. Part of my work is moderating - and kick-starting - discussions in a (online) chat-group about Japanese language and culture. (This challenges me to improve my mastery of the Japanese language).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I do not ask for a salary for my work with Mundo Lingo - in my limited knowledge, nobody in Mundo Lingo gets a salary - but I do feel rewarded with friendships and what internationals share with me, about their home culture and language.
