"but thy disciples fast not?" - Follow Christ Jesus and Talk about Truth


Around Tokyo


Follow Christ Jesus and Talk about Truth


It is strange that there are no places in the world where people can argue openly and collectively matters related to death and life as well as God and Satan.

Even there are no many public occasions where people can argue openly and collectively rich and poor, good and evil, and justice and injustice.

Is it because it is assumed that all the people share the same view on these matters?

Indeed, the most important things for individuals are never discussed openly.  Or are leaders in the world working behind the scene no to make people discuss these matters openly?

Everybody is afraid of death.  But mostly people never discuss the meaning of death with others.  Even it is thought to be good manners not to mention religion that includes matters directly related to death and life.

In this context, the words of Christ Jesus are precious.  Christ Jesus said, for example, that rich men cannot enter Heaven while God loves the poor.

As Christ Jesus told to follow Him, every follower of Him should discuss those matters openly.  Through such discussions, we may be able to talk about truth of the world and humanity eventually.

Mar 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mar 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
