You have probably heard the story about the wom ,an who was called to the door of her house by a gov ernment census taker. Ju the cnyersation he asked i“How many children do you have?” She begin to re i ply, “Now there's Sam and John and Mary and Susie and Bill, the man stopped her and said, I asked the number of your children, she got mad and replied “I want you to understand that my children are npt numbers, they are names.” On Easter’ morning, we remember, that the re|- surected Christ met Mary Magalene in the garden where he has been buried., and said at first, just ofle word, —- “Mary!” He called her by name. Later Ke ■linked her life with his owntwhen he sa,id, “^asceiiid unto my Father and -your Father; .and to my : G^ and yotirGod.” My your! Mary — my and yo/ir; Mary was,upt a number. V ’ .. • k ' * i' A soldier was once posted by . his officer at a cer tain .point, to. count who pass- ed by? The bifiter did^Qt^^^hat thjs Rian could count only to ten, an^he“^^^?^"hs top embarrassed to tell his .officer about his post he count- ed the first ten who passed arid then added, “There^gpes another one! Thef-e goes another one! and a another one. Now neither a number, nor “an other one” was Mary to Jesu§?' ! She was Mary a child of God in. close relationship. wi^h her Lord. Once when Jesus was speaking about himself as the Good Shepherd, hetsaid that it seems impossible, there seems to be top many people in the world to know each other by name. There are so many Chris tians in the world,, I don’t know how I can convince you that Jesus knows every one’s name, I might tell you to have faith that it is not true, that in the sight of Jesus, we are not numbers or just “another one”, we are names. But I have some other advice, we might just listen. Mary went to the garden, she did not expect that she would meet the living Christ. He spoke to her. It was his own doings. Some morning Jesusjaiight speak your nam^/C^/Sam, John,. /Mary, Susie, Bill or whatever yot^^aine, might be, and when Ka (foes; be ready to answer.'Let Christ him self convince you that.you are not ’ a number ber or “^jy^ai^ne” ™ his sjgh.t. You are a^pej^n with a name. I know, because when the Almighty calls vou by name, you will know, just as I did. »« v - - * SHR / \ ■ w Georgia • ■ v -.w- ■ W ! * .
