Why does God care about each one of us? This questidn has always plagued the mind of man. It will probably never be com pletely answered to his satisfaction until he sees and believes the evidence of man's im portance to God: Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. It remained for Jesus Christ to reveal the love of God. Christians celebrate the sac rament which is their richest experience of the glory and honor God has given. The world over, men will rejoice in the Divine Love, so far-reaching, that God gave His Son for humanity.
