City

'Shouldn`t I feel sorry for such a great city?' Jonah 4:11

Christmas in Japan has some spectacular displays but tends to be secular, and the baby Jesus tends to get left out. Although I am hamstrung by my lack of language ability and my sinful life, I do hope and pray the many people of Fukuoka will one day understand the full beauty and joy of Christmas, regardless of the failures of people like me to truly live it out.

America bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima, then sent missionaries after the war to tell people about Jesus. Let me say this: GOD IS NOT AMERICAN. JESUS IS NOT WHITE!

Jesus was born to a Jewish girl, from a small town in the Middle East. But He speaks every language perfectly, including Japanese. He is the only person ever to truly totally understand what it is really like to be you. And He loves everyone. Please remember that.
