Surprise In Japan - A Biblical Verse For Japan

Rating: 5.0


Jesus too roams
the streets and lanes of the
Land of the Rising Sun

Land of the Rising Sun
the spirit of Christ too
roams its streets and lanes

the old women read out
a biblical verse to show Japan is
too a 'chosen' country

born again a Christian
in a Japanese
winter pool

I do not know which Christian denomination they were from, but they were quite sincere in spreading the faith. I was walking around a Tokyo departmental store and they approached me, with their Japanese bible in hand. They treated me to an expensive lunch and read out a passage that has the word Sun to show that Japan is too under God's guidance and a chosen country. They even told me to bring more friends to meet up with them in the next meeting.
Another chance meeting with a Christian lady saw myself
baptised as a born again Christian n a winter pool in a Japanese Church.
