ha To me Jesus Chris rs tire saviour
OF the world and I get this notion by
standing by Him Through nature.
through history and through men We
can find the true God. bet Only through
Jesus Christ can We know the power
OF God. Without Jesus Christ I cannot
understand the great love. the wonder
full love Of God. Ny faith in God - this
that He IS the Son OF Gcd. / did not
understand this hroIgh my intellect
but THROUGH His word. through His life.
through Himself. Tho SeCorC point is
this: Jesus Christ Is tn Ltsht Of che
world. His teaching and His life ia
Just the same. When He taVsht men n
love their enemies He ~ I'd the teaching
by praying for His e~nsE7iAs. when He
would teach His diecinles the lesson Of
humility He washed T,.s DISCIPLES feet
When I heard Jesus Christ preached
In my country. I'm my church I saw His
life. and He put His spirit !Ttv my soul.
When / was a heather / wicked the
wrong way. but Jesus Christ came and
took me IN and saved ne.
THE third point is this. Jesus Christ
is the Saviour. All he1thcn people
think mankind IS lowe. than nature.
hut Je sus Christ came AMI showed me
the nobility of mankind. When ! re-
pNnted OF sin God showed Himself to
me. Jesus Christ men frst from
lpeSsimlSm.
In heather lands young men resolve
to be perfect men. but -hcv cannot stand
against temptation. They try. but they
fall so often that they stop tryin~ Z"
live a perfect life. TIE rlosr striking
thing to me in this Christ'pr land is
this that in this land even bad boys
have good hearts. Jesus Cr-ist saved
me and now I have the same heart that
You have. In heafhe1 lands YOU find
no ~orphanages and no poor houses Or
phanages and poor houSas gre in this
country. and Jesus Christ hUilt them.
III Jesus Christ had not t-sme you would
not find them. I thank God for saliva
ton and thank you fer your mission
airy movement which came TO nv
country.
I'm heather lands rest i the object
of all men. They all seek rest. Go %
christian lands and you emo pushing
people: they know the I~lcaSure Of SER
vice and the sacrificing spirit. Heath-
EN- lands know nothing o. III" sacrificing
spirit.
when the missiona les fret came To
Japan the Japanese Thought they were
spies, because they could not under
stand the spirit Of sacrifice, jesus
Christ is a wonderful Saviour because
in heather lands men want n rest. but
i'm Christian lands mon want to work.
Jesus Christ has saved me from eter-
