Out^identity may be clear and precise, You Wdyl see yourself, or others may see you as a doctor or a farmer, a housewife . or a mother, a friend or a business associate, a student or a spouse. Wether in a'single phrase or in phrases hardly 'exhausted in multiples, your identity discloses who you are and where you "fit in" the complex human family At one time duriing His life on earth, Jesus of Nazareth asked His disciples what people, thought He ,was: See Matthew, chapter 16, verses 13 through 20., for that story. That was a good pro ing question, and if we can imagine ourselves to .be the ones asked, would we respond with an equally good answer? „ What do you think Jesus was? Several popular ideas may be suggested, perhaps one of them is yours. Many believe Jesus, to have been a great teacher. Whenever and whefever He travelled, part of His routine was to teach the way of life. He taught the young and old, Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles. He taught as "one who had authority." His style was attractive, His lessons were provocative and the envy of all who today call, themselves teacher. In short, Jesus taught the truth and that single feature alone aroused His hearers to sense that someone great was instructing them. The truth He spoke also irritated His opponents. „It is dubious at best to class Jesus with "the family of great world teachers" or "philosophers." True, like all philosophers, ION "the Christ" 14 INISTER'S•STOD•Y Jesus' aun was to inspire people to live a , "fuller" life, but the, resemblance ends there. Jesus consistently underscored the fact thatra God -pleasing life, one thoroughly ethical and moral,begins after one has been reconciled to God through forgiveness, 'As He would explain,"A good tree bears good fruit," No world philosopher comes near ex- pressing a blessed ilfe in such God -centred terms to the extent that Jesus did. Assuming you are familiar with His story, another description you might offer is Jesus was a miracle .worker. Jesus cured a paralytic, raised the dead, arrested a woman's hemorrhaging defect, and, but by nW means finally, calmed a storm at sea. All things of nature were at His disposal and subject to His divine command. This won Him great fame. Scores flocked to Him as He travelled from town to town, perhaps to witness a miracle or to favour His attention. We are, on the verge of selfishness, however, when we begin to see Jesus only as a miracle worker as did many of His day. The illness we are referring to is the type that regards Jesus merely as a "good choice to have on one's reserves," "a good guy to have on your side". Consider, for a moment, the person who judges himself or herself capable of managing life with no need for divine support as many do. But to be on the safe side, this same person "keeps in touch" with the divine just in case the going gets too rough to handle. That's selfishness; that's confusion over what Jesus really is. Having difficulty art;xcula18 who Jesus. is? We can describe Jesus in,a host of ways,, many did in His time. and many do today. Butwe must ask ourselves,. "Is there a way to describe Jesus in a: precise and salutary term,, the way He would . have us know Him?" While people Will always entertain opi- nions about Hiro, Jesus would have us know Him to be "the Christ." That is an identity which expresses Jesus fully. To call Jesus "the Christ" admits a knowledge of Him having profound depth. The term "Christ" denotes "one appointed for a specific God-given task". It was Jesus' mission to save the people of God from a lifelong struggle with the powers of darkness. That's why He was sacrificed. It was not unfortunate that Jesus died. Clear- ly, Biblically, Jesus was not some poor fool cut short of His potential at the hands of His adversaries. Jesus' mission also embraced His resur- rection. The witness that Jesus did not re- main in the grave, but rose alive, challenges the human family with the promise that He has conquered all things, even the things which aim to stifle and diminish life. The name "Jesus" is and will be used in various ways by different individuals and religious sects. Some know Him and use Him in name only while others, those who know a gracious God through Him, speak His name in substance and truth. Jesus would have all humankind know Him as the Christ. This confession is not a wotk of, human endeavors nor is it a product of human imagination. Believing Jesus is "the Christ" is a work of the Father. On this "rock" of faith, God builds His Church, His spiritual kingdom here on earth.

Villa and Hospital Boards integrate Sister Katherine McKeough, Superior - General of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph, recently announced the integra- tion of the boards of Marian Villa, St. Mary's and St. Joseph's Hospitals. The operations of St. Mary's Hospital and Marian Villa were merged one year ago in September 1983 under one administration and two boards. This decision brings all three institutions together under one board with two administrations. In addressing the joint Board meeting held September 12, Sister Katherine ap- pointed Andy Spriet, previously the chair- man of St. Joseph's Hospital, as the new chairman. Ken Lemon, previously chair- man of St. Mary's Hospital, was appointed the new vice-chairman. Sister Mary Doyle will become the new secretary -treasurer. Sister Mary Doyle and Sister Cecilia will continue as the executive directors of St. Joseph's and St. Mary's/Marian Villa respectively. In her presentation, Sister Katherine referred to the need for the Sisters to con- tinue to serve the healing ministry by an- ticipating and responding to community needs. She said that the major reasons for the move were to provide the best continuity of care possible to the Communities senfed by the institutions and to make the best use of personnel and financial resources. No staff changes are anticipated and no lay-offs are expected as a result of this change. There will be no changes in the col- lective agreements. Each institution will continue to use its own name. Sister Katherine also noted that new by- laws were being prepared to encompass all three facilities. This change will provide Southwestern Ontario with its first multi -institutional ar- rangement providing residential, extended, rehabilitation, chronic and acute care ser- vices all under one organization. It is also the most comprehensive such body in the province. The new board will be responsible for a combined facility that includes 967 beds with annual expenses of approximately $75 million dollars. 5 Church Director `�~ First •Bafist Church •�� MONTREAL STREET, GODERICH Sunday 9 45 a m • MORNING WORSHIP Thursday 7 00 p.m • PRAYER & BIBLE STUDY ORGANIST MRS.
