Jane tells the life of the blind nun who took care of the sick. The latter was originally a peasant woman who was orphaned in her early years. Her husband died in the forest when she was in her forties. She was unable to farm by herself, so she had to sell the land to the convent. , and the next year she vowed to become a nun.
The blind nun was illiterate and had not read much scripture. She was sent to a leprosy hospital and unfortunately contracted leprosy. In the end, she recovered from the disease, but she lost one eye due to the sequelae.
The life of the blind nun can only be described as "lonely" even among nuns who are generally poor.
People can't help but sigh: "Lord above, please look at her with mercy."
Jane's tone was just a plain narrative.
Vinakana looked at Jane with a sneer on her face.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to be asking: "'People who are suffering like this are doing good deeds.' Why, are you going to use this reason to persuade me?"
Jane was also staring at Venakana's face. She had rich experience and could tell at a glance what Venakana was thinking. After all, the princess was just a child, and many emotions could not be hidden. Jane just shook her head slightly.
Venakana was slightly surprised.
Jane looked at the nun who was blind in one eye and whispered: "Princess, have you ever seen these suffering good people with your own eyes?"
Venakana thought she was sarcastic, so she pursed her lips and said unyieldingly: "Now I see you."
Then, the princess saved her face and said, "Didn't what happened to this nun confirm my question? Why do good people suffer, and why do evil people enjoy happiness?"
Jane didn't answer. The fire of premonition in her mind suddenly ignited, and her thoughts became firm unknowingly.
She sensed that the answer was close.
The nun who was blind in one eye carefully scrubbed the patient's face, and the patient fell into a semi-coma. His appearance was obviously not from the Northern Territory, but a Yavin who believed in the King of Our Kings.
Sensing Jane's approach, the nun raised her head. Her back was so stooped that she could only look up at Jane.
Jane squatted down slightly, pointed at the patient, and whispered to the nun: "Sister, this person is a heretic."
The monks and nuns all refer to each other as brothers and sisters.
The nun looked at the semi-conscious patient. The Yawen man groaned. He vaguely heard Jane's words and felt panicked. He looked at the nun pleadingly.
"He is indeed a heretic."
The nun said kindly.
Jane suddenly looked angry and scolded: "Sister, aren't you afraid of going to hell? Those are heretics!"
A flash of panic flashed across the nun's face, and she hesitated, but she finally grabbed the rag in her hand.
She pointed to other people in the workhouse, among whom there were many True believers, and then said in plain language: "There are so many True believers, enough for me to go to heaven."
Sister Sister's simple words fell on Venakana's ears.
The princess was suddenly startled.
She didn't know why the nun's words alarmed her. All she knew was that there was a heavy tremor in her chest.
Jane's face softened after hearing what her grandma said.
The answer is as if there is only a layer of veil left. With just a slight lift, the answer will be revealed.
"Isn't your kindness to this pagan coming from your longing for heaven? Is it just coming from yourself?"
Even though she is illiterate, the nuns have been trained in the monastery for a long time.
She clasped her hands together and said, "I just heard someone say: 'Although many want to go to heaven, there are few who love others.'"
When Vinakana heard this verse, the princess opened her lips, wanting to say something, but finally closed her mouth.
Jane stood up slowly, and the nun looked at the sister with confusion. She didn't know why Jane asked her these things.
Lying on the maid's back, Venakana watched Jian walking closer.
For some reason, Vinakana felt a little timid, but she still stiffened her neck.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Jane just said: "Princess, haven't you seen what I want to say?"
People's good deeds come from their original intentions, and their evil deeds also come from their original intentions.
Venakana's eyes widened.
After a long time, she asked: "Are you trying to say that doing good comes from one's true heart? That still doesn't answer my question!"
Jane raised her hands, and the holy statue hung quietly around her neck.
She shook her head slowly, and then said: "It's not just that, princess."
Jane first took a deep breath, then held her breath and looked straight at Vina Khanna.
[Why do good and righteous people often not only receive no rewards in this world, but also suffer hardships and torture in this world, and some even die in pain in the end? 】
That’s a difficult question to answer because we don’t know what God is thinking.
But Jane thought that as people with our feet on the ground, we know what we are thinking.
The sufferings of good and righteous people are not rare, but the blessings of evil and evil people are not rare.
The heartfelt pain of the good and righteous people caused Venakana to criticize and question God. Her words can shake the faith of many people, and can also make people scold them for their wild and blasphemy.
However, at this moment, Jane thought of the answer.
"People's good deeds come from their own hearts, and their evil deeds also come from their own hearts.
Does that mean that doing good and doing evil has nothing to do with God? "
Jane stared at Venakana and asked quickly.
Venakana heard what she was thinking. She opened her mouth and was about to confirm.
However, Jane interrupted her first.
"No, the answer is absolutely not that."
"But since it's relevant,"
When he wanted to speak but was interrupted, Venakana became a little angry and asked:
"If you think it's relevant, then why doesn't the Lord reward those who do good and punish those who do evil?!"
Jane took another step forward. Winakana stared at her closely, but she was shocked to notice the tranquility in the latter's eyes.
"Yeah, why?
Seeing good people suffering and evil people enjoying blessings, but rarely seeing miracles, you must think that the Lord is ruthless. "
Venakana nodded decisively.
"But, have you ever thought about it carefully..."
"Thinking about what?"
"God can give, God can also not give." Jane said softly.
Vinakana was startled, her heartbeat quickened, she noticed something in the dark, but couldn't catch it.
"Why 'God can give, God can also not give?'"
Jane asked one after another:
"Why do we say: 'Give to the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and to God what belongs to God?'"
After a while, Venakana reluctantly shook her head.
“For the face of man is modeled after the face of God, and man’s reason is derived from the divinity of the Lord.”
"These are theological foundations, I know," Venakana said.
Jane looked at her and then said:
“The Lord loves us, you and I, true believers and infidels.”
"But if you love the Lord, why don't you love others? Aren't they equally loved by the Lord?"
“When we do good and righteous things, we love others and we love the Lord.
Just because we love the Lord, we cannot shirk our love for others! "
Hearing this, Venakana's heart suddenly stopped.
What did she foresee...
No one can stop the monstrous flood,
It was like a force that could not be ignored was ready to emerge in Jane's mind.
"Because of this, doing good and righteousness is not a favor, but an obligation we have towards God!"
Vinakana was suddenly surprised by the answer.
Why are good people not necessarily rewarded, and why are evil people not necessarily punished?
This is very confusing and puzzling.
And in Jane's narration,
Doing good deeds and doing justice is no longer just a kind of charity or sympathy, but an obligation that you should fulfill and a responsibility that you shoulder.
"Why are 'evil people not more difficult to save than good people?'? Because doing good and being righteous is not a right that only individuals can enjoy, but an obligation that everyone should have, even a wicked person, as long as he can fulfill this obligation to do good and righteousness , he can also wash away his sins and gain access to heaven."
Venakana listened to Jane's story in a daze. Her answer was not perfect, but the princess had no way to argue at this time.
"Because it is our unshirkable obligation, and even more because it is the responsibility we must shoulder. This is why: God can give, and God can not give."
Jane's words were plain but full of vitality.
Venakana's fingertips were trembling, fulfilling the obligation to do good and shouldering the responsibility of righteousness, which is what a true believer should do.
If you miss doing good deeds and follow righteousness, you will miss the door to the kingdom of heaven.
Vinakana looked at Jane in disbelief, she felt a little enlightened.
She was thinking, a person's thoughts have been developed over a long period of time. She had already embarked on the road of unbelief, how could she easily turn back?
Suddenly, another question popped out of Vinakana's mouth.
“Why do we have obligations to God?”
Jane listened in her ears, and the power that could not be ignored still lingered in her heart, and she clenched her hands.
"Princess, let me ask you, why do you say: 'Return to the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and return to gods what belongs to gods'?"
Vinakana listened, and then said: "What's the reason for this? One verse can have hundreds of interpretations."
Jane asked her softly: "Are you willing to listen to my explanation?"
Vinakana hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Jane took a deep breath and gently held the holy statue around her neck, as if she was getting strength from somewhere.
"Knights have their obligations to their lords, don't they?"
"Yes." Venakana nodded slowly.
"In the Deschanel Empire, don't those noble lords also have their obligations to the emperor?"
"Yes..." Venakana couldn't find a way to refute.
"If we have our obligations to the emperor, how come we have no obligations to the Lord in heaven?"
Jane paused and said slowly:
"That's why we say: 'Return to the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and to God what belongs to God'."
After thinking for a moment, Venakana's fingertips trembled slightly.
Since we have obligations to the emperor who rules the world,
Then do we not have any obligation to Him who gave man reason and created heaven and hell?
We are true believers, people of the world who believe in the Lord,
It is because of faith that we have obligations to the Lord.
And this obligation is to do good and be righteous, which is something that no one can shirk.
Because it is an obligation to do good and righteousness, God can do it or not.
And the Lord’s grace is already enough.
.............................
.............................
At noon, Venakana and Jane returned to the palace.
Along the way, Venakana was silent, her head lowered, hanging on the maid's shoulder.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Venakana was still defeated.
Venakana felt discouraged and depressed.
She is tortured by a family curse, and the entire family is about to face annihilation.
However, from Jane's answer, Venakana could not find a reason why God should save her.
Because God can give, God can also not give.
Under the bright sun, Jane clasped her hands together, chanted sutras while walking, and thanked the Lord for his blessing, which allowed her to defeat Venakana on this issue.
Venakana's mind was anxious and weak. On the way back from the workhouse and the infant home, the princess had been racking her brains to think about how to argue. Only at this time did many ideas pop up in her head.
If I had answered like this at that time, Jane would definitely be at a loss.
If I had asked this at that time, I would have confused Jane's logic.
........
Ideas like this are endless in Venakana's mind.
She knew that Jane's answer was not perfect, but at that time she could not find the words to refute it.
At the moment, Vinakana is thinking wildly, and even she realizes clearly that she is just thinking wildly. Those fleeting thoughts, once asked, will be mercilessly refuted by Jane who is in the spotlight.
Although she knew it would be difficult for her to overturn Jane's remarks, Venakana did not fully accept Jane's answer.
There is no doubt that Jane answered her question, but just one question could not shake Vina Khanna's current disbelief.
Venakana still thinks the Lord is ruthless.
She believes that the Lord does not love the world.
It's just that I haven't found any evidence yet, and I don't have a complete enough idea yet.
Venakana stared at Jane and said silently in her heart: I will study theology with you, and wait until I can overturn everything in the future.
In her mind, she made the childish rhetoric that she should have at this age.
In any case, Venakana was determined to study theology further in order to find unbelieving ideas in it.
Above the sea of thousands of clouds,
The god looked at the young princess and couldn't help but smile.
Jane's answer to Venakana aroused the competitive spirit of the lonely princess and dragged her back from the trap of sinking fate.
Aisaya.
Chen Yi pondered in his mind.
He looked at the direction of Venakana's fate line and knew that she was about to gradually understand the ancient saying "destiny" in theology.
And the speed at which she comprehends it will be unmatched by countless people.
Because in the future, Venakana will experience everything and will understand the truth of the world.
He will also know at that time why the "Lord of Destiny" treated Venakana like this.
Chen Yi saw Venakana being carried by a maid and gradually walking back to the magnificent palace.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Venakana falling into a deep sleep unwillingly, and his thoughts slowly calmed down.
It can be said that God has watched her grow up and has placed many hopes on her. He loves this child.
Looking at Venakana's sleeping face, her brows still furrowed in her sleep, Shen felt peaceful.
God can't help but think about it,
when,
Can I let you see that you are with me?
