Salvation Through BORN AGAIN
The Forgiven Servant
41 II Understand a parable,
which God, the consuming fire,
said –
42 “A servant went into the battle
field. Then a man took one per-
son to him and handed him over
to him. He said to him to watch
him over.
43 In case, if he escapes, you
should give two silver coins for
his life.
44 After some time, that servant
went out here and there for his
work. Meanwhile, he escaped.
45 But the one who handed him
came and forgave the servant for
his mistake. He accepted him. In
the same way, entering the hea-
venly kingdom takes place.”
The Lord will forgive the sins of a
sinner by His word and accepts him/
her as his son/daughter. It is a main
work of the Holy Spirit to make him
to enter God’s kingdom. The reader
should understand this.
CHAPTER 59
WHO can understand the suff-
erings of the Lord on the cross
which He bore for His children?
Who can bear the sacrifice whi-
ch the Lord made for His chil-
dren?

a tender shoot and like a root
out of dry ground. Jesus had no
form or comeliness and when
we shall see him, there is no bea-
uty that we should desire him.
3 Jesus was despised and reje-
cted by men, a man of sorrows,
and familiar with suffering’.
4 ‘Like one from whom men
hide their faces, Jesus was des-
pised and we esteemed him not.
5 Surely Jesus has borne our infi-
rmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered Jesus strick-
en by God, smitten by Him, and
afflicted.
6 But Jesus was pierced for our
transgressions. Jesus was bruis-
ed for our iniquities; the punish-
ment that brought us peace was
upon Jesus, and by His wounds
we are healed.
7 We all, like sheep, have gone
astray. Each of us has turned to
his own way; and the God has
laid on Jesus the iniquity of us
all.
8 Jesus was oppressed and aff-
licted, yet Christ did not open
His mouth; He was led like a
lamb to the slaughter, and as a
sheep before her shearers is sil-
ent,

9 ‘By oppression and judgment
Jesus was taken away. Who can
speak of Jesus descendants? For
Jesus was cut off from the land
of the living; for the transgr-
ession of My people Jesus was
stricken.
10 Jesus was assigned a grave
with the wicked in His death, tho-
ugh Jesus had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in Christ mo-
uth’.
11 Yet it was the God’s will to
bruise Him and cause Him to su-
ffer. Though the God makes His
life a guilt offering,
12 Jesus made Himself as the sin
offering.
13 Jesus poured out His life unto
death and was numbered with
the transgressors. For He bore
the sin of many and made interc-
ession 1 for the transgressors’.
14 The Lord Himself defeated
the death before which we are
defeated.
15 As His children, we have flesh
and blood. So also He became
flesh and blood for us.
16 In order to help us, who are
tempted, Jesus was tempted but
didn’t sin and defeated the ene-
my for us.

The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD
17 ‘Jesus was resurrected to
make us righteous and He bec-
ame a reason for our hope.
18 The holy water, which was
shed from the body of Jesus to
wash away our sins, is the word.
So we are justified as blameless
through Him with the help of His
word’.
19 II Paul says that we should
bath through the word, which is
symbolical to the water. What
is the spiritual bathing? Not in
literally.
20 It is being convicted by the
gospel of every sin we commi-
tted with our body (top to bot-
tom) and being forgiven by the
word, which is the water’.
21 Being born of water is cou-
nted by the living word as the
blameless after sins are forgiven
when we confessed.
22 ‘Understand that being born
of spirit (the old stage of spirit)
is the internal change (renewing)
caused by the Holy Spirit which
is related to the repentance that
leads to salvation.
23 Paul, who is a great apostle,
said that one can get salvation
by being Born Again’.
