Huntsville Association for Pastoral Care (HAPC)
HAPC was founded in 1977 through a joint effort of clergy, medical professionals and local congregations. |
Jesus, the Reward of Life!
He's the Goal, the Destination, the Objective ...
He's the Purpose, the Reason, the Cause ...
He's the Incentive, the Motivation, the Inspiration ...
He's the Hope, the Assurance, the Security ...
He's the Prize, the Glory, the Reward!
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (Jn 1:14)
The WORD did not become a philosophy, a theory, or a concept to be discussed, debated or pondered ... but the WORD became a PERSON to be followed, enjoyed, and loved!
Merry Christmas!
