This is the only known large statue with arms extended. 'The Insurance Man Is Here Already!" GOD'S IDENTIFYING LOVE The Bible says that "God is love" (I John 4:8b). We know many verses expressing God's love toward mankind and through them we come to know more of Him. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son..." (John 3:16). "God commended (showed) his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (sacrifice) for our sins" (I John 4:10). God's love toward all mankind is an endearing love. He is Creator (Genesis 1 and 2). He is the sustainer of all things (Acts 17:24-28). In these verses we understand God to be our Father and as one higher and more noble and righteous than we are, he loves us. But God's love goes beyond this point. His love also is a love which, in a sense, comes to us from our own level. To understand this love we must first see Christ as the eternal God, one person of the Trinity. John speaks of Jesus Christ as being one with God, the creator of all and the source of life for all men. (John 1). The Apostle Paul speaks of the Christ taking upon himself human form and entering into this world as a complete man (Philippians 2). It is as God became man that we come to see how God can love us with an identifying love. It is said that Jesus Christ loved the Apostle John with this identifying love (John 20:2). This means more than just that Jesus was attracted to John or that he loved him as God the Father loved him. This identifying love carries with it the suggestion that Jesus understood John's thoughts, his motives, his peculiarities. There was empathy on the part of Jesus toward John. As total man, limited (Philippians 2:7- 8), Jesus identified With John in a personal type of love. Jesus Christ says that now God loves us with this same iden­ tifying type of love (John 16:27). We cannot see this meaning in our English Bibles but the original Greek texts of the verse bring out this beautiful concept. The Psalmist says "For he (God) knoweth our frame;heremembereth that we are dust" (Psalms 103:14). From Jesus' statement we understand that it is in a special way that "he remembereth that we are dust." Again, in John 16:27, Jesus explains how God can identify with us in this love. It is through Jesus himself becoming one of us. Because of this iden­ tifying love from God, we can be assured of his complete and total understanding concerning our weaknesses and sins. There should never be hesitancy in coming to God, for he loves us with an identifying love though Jesus himself was without sin (I Peter 2:21ff). But GtxJ, though he understands our weaknesses, commands "all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). He understands us and knows why we sin. But still we must come to him confessing our sins. We can be assured, however, that when we confess, he forgivesd John 1:9). Deaths FERDINAND MIKITKA Ferdinand Mikitka, 71, of 4715 N.
