章 91: YAKUZA R*PIST
Juan visits the prison in Japan, He went to visit Taro Aoki, the yakuza who kidnapped and tried to r*pe Jacky before.
Juan who was famous because of that hostage and rescue operation with Joel to save Jacky from Taro was welcomed by the Warden in his office.
"I'm glad you came to visit us here. Your prisoner is not a yakuza already. He is a changed man. He is still feared here inside but he solved many problems here than all of us combined. Six months after he entered here, the prison changed drastically, crimes inside minimized to a minimum. Our performance also as prison guards had improved and I had to kick out twenty guards to maintain the peace, corruption sometimes makes it here worse" Warden said.
The warden asked for a picture with Juan and they had dinner. After that, he went to see Taro.
Juan requested to talk to Taro privately. The warden gave them time to talk in the canteen mess hall. It was closed and only Juan and Taro were put inside.
Taro was surprised to see Juan. He was expecting a lawyer or the warden.
He embraced Juan and cried. Taro never cried ever before. But this time, he did.
"I read the book you gave and the Bible also. I realized its truth and believed it. I struggled a lot to obey it as I understood it. The book is a clear guide and the Bible had touched my life for the first time ever in my life that it gave me direction, I felt forgiven, loved, and renewed. Thanks for this. I never expect that the people I hurt the most will be the people to care to save me from my misery and to introduce Jesus to me" Taro said.
"I'm so happy but there are more who are happy. Your mother is happy. Read this verse" Juan opened his New Testament Bible in his pocket and read a verse.
Luke 15:10: "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
"If you get out of here, what are your plans?" Juan said.
"I don't know yet. How can I atone for the sins I have done? Taro said.
" Don't think of the past, we can not do anything from it. What you can do is for now and the future. Try to make plans and share it with me, who knows I can contribute to it, or help in some ways, I can," Juan said.
"Can you print more of the books you gave me, and Bibles, I will distribute it here," Taro said.
"That is what you want? Ok, I will do it, tell me how many?" Juan said.
"Start with one hundred, I will send you money for it," Taro said.
"No! I will finance it," Juan said.
"Please, let me contribute to it. At least, I can also have a part to that endeavor" Taro said.
"If you have anything to request to me, please tell me through the warden, he will contact me. I will also tell him about this, I will go for now and God bless." Juan said.
"Goodbye, and thank you so much," Taro said.
Juan went to Takuma empire building, the business center of Katsuo. When he entered the entrance hall, people recognize him and bow as he passed, and the guard and Secretary called Katsuo that he is here. Katsuo told him to go to the ninth floor. He entered the elevator and press the ninth floor button, it required a passcode and his iris scan, then it moved but the elevator went down below the ground floor. As he entered the glass door, Katsuo was in his glass office with monitor screens and communication instruments. As he approached the door it automatically opened.
"Hello Grandpa, I just visited the prison and I talked to Taro," Juan said.
"Yes I heard from the warden," Katsuo said.
"The warden called you about it?" Juan asked.
"Yes we are friends and I have told him to monitor Taro, that's why he informed me of your visit," Katsuo said.
"He requested me to print the book I gave him about Christian life and growth, and Bibles in Japanese, I need a printer for these," Juan said.
"I have the best printer that can print it. How many are you planning to print?" Katsuo asked.
"I will start with two hundred pieces and when I confirm the number of prisoners, I will add some more," Juan answered.
"That's good, at least we can see good changes in our prisons," Katsuo said.
"Yes, and I plan also to do this in the Philippines," Juan said.
"Well, if that is your desire, I can send you printers like of what we had here," Katsuo said.
"Thanks in advance, Grandpa! Thanks for your generous support!" Juan said.
"I do it for God, and it is a joy that I can help, anything like this for the gospel, just inform me, I'm happy to be of help," Katsuo said.
"Yes, people are bad, but there are those who realize that God loves them when there are those who will get out of their comfort zone or their box, to reach out for unlovable people and find out that they can be touched by God's love also.
"Yes, being a Christian needs to go the extra mile, the other cheek, to give the unexpected, to love the enemy who does not deserve it, that is God's grace. That amazing grace that we practice, can touch the worst enemy by God's grace. There are those who don't agree and hate what we believe and what we do, they call as foolish and stupid. But we continue, because what is stupid for the world can make a difference when it is God's work and man respond to it positively," Juan said.
The Holy Writings said Juan read:
1 Corinthians 1:18-21: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
