Satan, the great deceiver, was the first counsellor to ap- pear in Scripture, and as a result of his counsel, sin came into the world. Only Jesus, the Wonderful Counsellor, could undo his work by destroying evil and forgiving sin. We catch glimpses of Him in Scripture as co -planner and co-worker with the Father and the Holy Spirit in the work of creation and the work of redemption. Throughout the Biblical story, and in the present day, we see His wisdom and providence weaving even the most tragic events into a pattern for ultimate good. And we see Him giving guidance and help in practical matters that af- fect daily life. "What He was in the days of His flesh, He is today," said Mr. Brown. "When we come to Him whom the prophet names Wonderful Counsellor, our hunger for God will be satisfied. - Coming Events Prayer Break meets Wednesday at noon at the United Church Manse.
