Hanzaemon Kagayama 2


Nobody can escape the law of death laid down once and for all by the supreme, true and righteous God.  It was God who determined that everyone should die and receive before Him eternal punishment for their sins or eternal glory for their righteous acts.

Therefore, I ask you, all of you, only this one thing - to open your hearts to the rule and the faith of the supreme Creator in order to obtain eternal salvation.  You have at most 20 or 30 years left to live here on earth.  However, Jesus Christ saves our souls forever.  This is of the utmost importance.  It is far more important than any trifling worldly pleasures.h

With these words, Barthazar knelt down, stretched out his neck and had his head cut off.  His 4-year son was killed beside him and returned to heaven in triumph. The date was October 15, 1619.  Barthazar was 47 years old. His cousin, Diego Kagayama Hayato, was put to death on the same day.

hNor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.h Acts 4:12
