Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-02-02, Page 7BY THE REVEREND L AUSTIN GEDCKE, BETHEL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY The story is familiar among Bible readers. Jesus arrives in Capernaum, crowds gather, and excite- ment builds. One man was missing from the ranks of onlookers, unable to come due to his paralyzed condi- tion. But four men! Thank God for these four special men! These four didn't wish to miss Jesus' visit to their village, neither did they overlook the handicapped and less fortunate. Their Wesimet frleed was paralyzed, in- capacitated, and in needof help. The true account unfolds • in spectacular fashion...these four men df compassion and faith are seed carrying their paralyz- ed friend along with his bed, to the very home where Jesus was teaching. Discovering entrance im- possible due to the throng of eager listeners, these men are detected climbing onto the roof, tearing a hole large• enough through which the man on his bed could pass through, and finally lower- ing their friend in his bed -by ropes into the very presence of the great Teacher. Jesus recognized the faith in the hearts of these four men, with immediate forgiveness and healing for their paralyzed friend. I observed these four men's names are unrecord- ed. Yet, most assuredly, they were not unknown; they counted with Jesus. And peo- ple like these compassionate men of old still ,count with God today. Our Heavenly Father ever looks for in- dividuals exhibiting compas- sieh to such a needy world as ours. • Considerbriefly those hur- ting individuals in our cam: II umuty who become 'our •paChristian rien%eonsidmerattionf There are the handicapped, both developmentally and physically; the elderly;• the bereaved and widowed; the lonely and perplexed; those confined to hospital beds; families suffering due to divorce, with children iOften the innocent victims; youth• confused because of poor parental example, drawn by peer pressure into their vicious world of alcohol, drugs, and sexual impurity; and on we could go. Predictably, many of these individuals will not discover happiness and peace of mind UNLESS we become their "friends". Families ARE suffering. People ARE hurting. Let's not kid ourselves. The challenge is for us: will' we become the compassionate friends to our hurting han- dicapped, joining hands together in a unity of Nile Church holds annual meeting The annual meeting of the Nile United Church was held in the basement of the church on January 23 with the Reverend Roberts as minister.
