Background Scripture:
Mark 8: 27-29; Luke 24: 25. 26;
John 1:35-42; 7: 25-31.
Devotional Reading:
Colossians 1: 3-14.
"We have found the Meutah!"
Thus said the Galilean fisherman
to his brother, Simon Peter. Ac
cording to John's Gospel (1 : 35-42),
Andrew had gone out into the
wilderness to see this man they were
calling John the Baptist. He had
heard John say of Jesus, "Behold,
the lamb of God" (1: 36). With a
companion Andrew had followed
Jesus for some distance before Jesus
turned and asked, "What do you
seek?" And Andrew and hit com
panion replied, "Rabbi (which
means Teacher), where are you
staying?" What they were saying to
him was that they wanted to be his
followers.
Yet, although Andrew called
Jesus "Rabbi," when he found his
brother Simon Peter, he didn't call
Jesus a Rabbi, but "the Christ."
Andrew had already decided that
Jesus was the long-awaited
Messiah, an expectation that ap
peared repeatedly in the Old
Testament.
So what was the Messiah?
As a Jew. Andrew and Simon
Peter probably knew that the term
"Messiah" meant different things
to different people. In Hebrew the
word literally meant "the an
nointed one." Such a person was
someone specially set apart and
designated by God for a particular
mission or task. The anointing rite
was a symbol of God's selection.
Andrew and Simon Peter pro
bably also knew that the Messiah
was often identified with a king
because it was the king who was in
the position to bring help and
deliverance to the nation. King
David had been God's "anointed"
and. according to the prophet
Isaiah, so had been Cyrus, the King
of Persia who freed the people of
Israel from their Babylonian
bondage. So the Messiah would be
someone chosen and sent from God
lo being deliverance to the people
of Israel.
But what kind of "deliverance"?
To be sure, many Jews looked for
someone to deliver them from
bondage to Rome. But others
looked, not only for physical salva
tion, but for spiritual deliverance as
well. Still others looked for a
Messiah who would bring the
apocalypse - a time when the earth
would be cleared of its temporal
kingdoms and in their place erected
the kingdom of God.
We cannot know just what
Andrew meant when he said "We
have found the Messiah." Yet. it is
not so important what Andrew
meant as it is what we mean when
we call Jesus the Christ. Our
situations and needs in life are
different and thus the meaning of
the Christ for us will vary some
what. Jesus is the Christ because
God sent him to heal our broken
ness and we are broken in mind, in
body, in spirit and in relationships.
We experience broken families,
broken homes, broken com
munities and live in a broken
world. The Christ is the one
anointed by Qod to heal our
brokenness wherever he finds it.
It matters little that Andrew and
Simon Peter discovered in Jesus
their Christ, unless we too can say
with them: '1 have found the
Messiah!"

removed by holding the stained
portion of the cloth in boiling milk.
INEXPENSIVE DECORATION
You can create inexpensive wall
hangings in a jiffy with colorful
unusual fabric lengths.
Here's how. See a casing at the
top and bottom of a fabric piece
and insert heavy wooden dowels.
Then hang the fabric on tiny
nails or suspend it with clear
fishing line.
To further coordinate your room
decorating scheme, use a piece of
that same fabric, or one with
harmonizing colors, to make throw
pillows for a couch.
For just a few dollars, you've
added color and interest to a room.
HOLIDAY BUFFET
If you're planning to serve cold
cuts at a holiday buffet -- make
sure they're fresh and chilled. And
don't allow them to stand at room
temperature too long.
In fact, you may wish to prepare
several trays of food -? so that some
food may be left in the refrigerator
until the first tray of meats is used.
Then bring on a fresh supply. This
way, meats will stay cold and
bacteria won't have a chance to
grow.
If you're serving salads --
shrimp, chicken or something simi
lar -- remember they are highly
perishable. So pack the serving
dish in cracked ice - or use small
serving dishes and refill often from
the refrigerator. You'll want to use
the same precautions with deviled
eggs, cheese and sour cream dip.
On holidays -- or anytime large
groups get together -- it isn't
unusual to run out of refrigerator
space and perhaps become a bit
careless in the way you handle food.
But, if you keep in mind that
bacteria can cause food poisoning,
you can prevent errors in handling,
preparation and serving.
It adds up to this. All perishable
foods, such as cream pies, seafoods
and dishes made with eggs, fish,
meat and poultry should be kept
cold, that is, below forty degrees.
And you should never let them
stand at room temperature for
more than two hours.
By the same token, you should
keep hot food hot, that is, at least
140 degrees.
No doubt about it. A holiday
buffet is fun, but careful planning
is important too.
Gift Idea for Tennis Set
That set of tennis bails
will seem really special if
you're thoughtful enough
to have balls personalized
with stenciled initials.
Holiday Decor
Having a holiday party?
Even the bathroom can
look festive with strips of
green and red vinyl tape in
decorative designs.

Vets Corner
The Veterans Administration is
reminding veterans and their de
pendents that they shouldn't let a
lost document prevent them from
applying for VA benefits.
VA Regional Director, Kenneth
E. McDonald, reports that some
veterans who can't locate a birth or
marriage certificate do not apply
for benefits because they think
these documents are essential.
VA will accept certified state
ments from applicants in instances
where documents needed to estab
lish' eligibility for benefits are lost,
McDonald noted.
In the case of a marriage, this
policy applies only to the first
marriage for each partner, and
there must be no contradictory
information on file with the agency.
In years past, VA has required
formal documentation to support
claims tor compensation and edu
cation benefits for veterans,
widows, and orphaned children.
More recently, however, the
agency has accepted a certified
statement regarding the birth of a
child or as proof of age and
relationship in disability cases.
Veterans or dependents with
questions about eligibility for bene
fits are urged to contact the nearest
VA Regional Office or a represen
tative of one of the national
veterans organizations.
