Question #7: Choose a representative passage from this novel that holds particular significance to you. Type it in and comment on its significance.

“And everyone who laid his hand on the given son was bound not to work violence against those who gave him, nor to employ the waness bind for their destruction. The little bell clanged again, and this time it caught my attention. I perceived its message and gasped! This was the key we had been praying for!” (175).

When he said this quote, Don Richardson finally found a way to deliver the story of Jesus to the Sawi people. He knew that Jesus Christ is the ultimate peace child for everyone (even for the Sawi!) and after observing the exchange of peace child, he realized that he should introduce Jesus as the ultimate peace child for the Sawi.

This quote is significant because Jesus is peace child to me, too. Before I accepted Jesus as my peace child, I used to have a lot of complaint and troubles in my daily life. I took everything I receive as granted and was never satisfied. But Jesus gave me ultimate peace in my heart. Because I now have Jesus in me, I am more modest and receive things more graciously. I know that I am blessed so much and am thankful everyday.

Also, after reading the passage, I realized how great my God is. In every nation or culture, God has planned everything beforehand and created the people. There is always something in every culture in which we can find God’s message. For example, Don Richardson at first doubted if there is any way that he would inspire the Sawi people to seek and to accept God. It seemed as if there is no way that the Sawi people would be transformed into Christians. However, there was the way! There were the concepts of peace child. Soon, Don Richardson was able to connect the Sawi’s peace child with the ultimate peace child, Jesus Christ. God has plans for everyone.
