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

rather seek Him
while He is still a

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and
the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.”
~ James 1:27, KJV
Trust the Driver
By LIGALA AWINO
There’s an old story of a boy who
stood on a sidewalk,waiting for
a bus. A man walking by spotted
the boy, and gave him some
gentle instruction. “Son,” he said,
”If u are waiting for the bus,you
need to move to the street corner.
That’s where the bus stops
for passengers.”
“It’s OK,”said the boy. “I’ll just
wait right here,and the bus will
stop for me.” The man repeated his
argument, but the boy never moved.
Just then, the bus appeared. Amazingly,
the bus pulled over to where the boy stood,
and he hopped in. The man on the sidewalk stood
speechless. The boy turned around in the doorway
and said, ”Mister, I knew the bus would stop
here, because the bus driver is my dad!”
When you’ve got a family relationship with the
bus driver, you don’t need a bus stop. if you have
given your heart to the King of kings, you’re in a
royal family of unspeakable proportions!
(Read Psalms 118:6-16)
