the Convention.
During the first year
of operation, the pro
gram identified and
trained approximately'
250 church lay persons as
health and human ser
vice advisors. Two orj
three persons in each
participating church
were given instructions
in health care and on
human service issues of
special importance to
their communities.
The participants learn-
jed about health pro
blems such as hyperten
sion, diabetes and pro
blems related to mater
nal and child health. The
potential for managing
these problems, how to
secure needed services,;
and the things the in-t
dividual, the family, the
church, and community
can do to prevent or bet
ter manage these pro
blems were explored in
evening sessions staffed
by local health and

PkMo by Slhu Mavfkld
If one attempted to compare the abilities of Jesus
with those of men, he would arrive at the un
contested conclusion that Jesus is the Supernatural
Heavy-weight among all. According to Scriputres,
it was divinely approved by the Holy Trinity that
our Father would send His Son to the earth and that
Jesus would be the true name of the Son of 'God.
Jesus came to earth in human flesh likened unto an
ordinary birth, but by no means of imagination was
His birth oidinary. Our Father possessed the divine
power to sponsor the Advent q JieHctys$g,L
any effort involving human authority. It was"
through this will of God that Jesus would save us
from our sins.
After the fall of man in Adam, God prepared the
Advent of Jesus with the Virgin Mary as mother
and Joseph chosen as the earthly father. As often
as we are reminded of this divine Savior of the
world, and as often as we are reminded of the
significance of the Name of Jesus, we should be
reminded of the impact this story has on us as ear
thly men.
Men on earth should be- able to see the
predestination of the Son of God. Jesus knew prior
to His divine task that He would encounter objec
tions, yet He also knew that He would endure the
evils of this world. It was He who submitted in
poverty and shame likened unto the will of men.
However, it was God our Father who never let go of
the body of Jesus while reconciling the world unto
Himself. It should be remembered here that
although Jesus has His name. He had not been
openly declared the Christ until the completion of
His Resurrection.
In like anncr as God steered the destination of
Jesus, it becomes the authority and priviledge of
Jesus to siccr all men on a true course of endeavors.
Jesus must possess first place in every life if salva
tion is to be secured. What are some prerequisites
for securing salvation? Because Jesus is His name,
a simple belief is required by every true follower.
Secondly, every true believer is fruitful if he keeps
this faith through good works, thus becoming a
doer of the words of God. Because of the ideas
established. Jesus is the only name among names to
guarantee us eternal space with the Holy Trinity of
God.
Since Jesus is His Name, then Christmas is Jesus.
All I rue Christians should perceive and confess
Jesus from this perspective not only during this
season of the, year, but throughout the entire year.
He who haih cars to hear, let him hear.
