Facts<br />
Who is this man,<br />
Jesus Christ?<br />
By SALMON ESTHER,<br />
Pangani Girls SDA Society<br />
1He came from the Throne of His Father above into<br />
the womb of a virgin. He became “the son of man”<br />
that we may become sons and daughters of God.<br />
He was born in a supernatural manner, lived in poverty<br />
and was reared in obscurity. He neither wal-<br />
2<br />
lowed in luxury nor influence, yet the wisdom of men<br />
never matched His.<br />
Never has a philosopher spoken like Him. His family<br />
was poor and humbled. At death, He alarmed<br />
3<br />
King Herod. As a boy, He stunned theologians with His<br />
knowledge and wisdom, for He was taught of God.<br />
4In manhood, He ruled the elements and quieted<br />
the raging sea. He healed the multitudes with no<br />
herbs or drugs and fed thousands from a boy’s lunch<br />
box. He raised three people from the dead and demons<br />
obeyed Him.<br />
5He wrote no book, yet all libraries in<br />
the world can’t contain the books<br />
that have been written about Him.<br />
He never wrote a song, but He<br />
6 has been the theme of more<br />
songs than all the hymn-writers<br />
combined. He never found any college,<br />
yet all colleges put together<br />
cannot boast of as many students as<br />
he has.<br />
He never marshaled any army, yet no<br />
7 leader in the world has had such many<br />
volunteers. Great men have come and gone, yet<br />
He lives on. Herod could not kill Him, Satan could not<br />
tempt Him into iniquity.<br />
Death could not destroy Him, the grave could not<br />
8 withhold Him, yet for our sakes He became poor.<br />
9He conquered death and rose on the third day, just<br />
as He had uttered, and all His words came true.<br />
He ascended into Heaven and now sits at the<br />
10 right hand of the Father. Soon, He will return<br />
power and great glory to harvest and judge the world.<br />

rather seek Him<br />
while He is still a<br />

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and<br />
the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and<br />
widows in their affliction, and to keep himself<br />
unspotted from the world.”<br />

Trust the Driver<br />
By LIGALA AWINO<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s an old story of a boy who<br />
stood on a sidewalk,waiting for<br />
a bus. A man walking by spotted<br />
the boy, and gave him some<br />
gentle instruction. “Son,” he said,<br />
”If u are waiting for the bus,you<br />
need to move to the street corner.<br />
That’s where the bus stops<br />
for passengers.”<br />
“It’s OK,”said the boy. “I’ll just<br />
wait right here,and the bus will<br />
stop for me.” <strong>The</strong> man repeated his<br />
argument, but the boy never moved.<br />
Just then, the bus appeared. Amazingly,<br />
the bus pulled over to where the boy stood,<br />
and he hopped in. <strong>The</strong> man on the sidewalk stood<br />
speechless. <strong>The</strong> boy turned around in the doorway<br />
and said, ”Mister, I knew the bus would stop<br />
here, because the bus driver is my dad!”<br />
When you’ve got a family relationship with the<br />
bus driver, you don’t need a bus stop. if you have<br />
given your heart to the King of kings, you’re in a<br />
royal family of unspeakable proportions!<br />
(Read Psalms 118:6-16)
