10 MAGYAR EGYHÁZ still loves us as his children. Jesus showed his love for us by dying on the cross under Pontius Pilate to save us and cleanse our souls. It’s a wonder that Jesus would have let us go and burn in hell for being bad. But Jesus doesn’t give up, he loves us too too much to let that happen. Jesus will sit on the right hand of God come our final judgment day. We are all being judged right now. When a baby is bom that second Jesus and God start judging. So behave, because as said “There’s a big book of names which God has, and if your name isn’t in there, this means while you were being bad your name had been taken out.” So, on your final judgement you see your whole life on screen. Jesus has tried for many years and many more to come, to keep Satan’s helpers from reaching your soul. And this is what Jesus means to me. (Sharon is a 7th grader, who lost her mother last year. Those of us, who believe in after-life, know that she is proudly smiling from above as this essay is being published. Rev.) Mr. Mihály Takács Sr., the Honorary Chief Elder of our Cliffside Church celebrated his 65th wedding anniversary. \vB:riti3MBiririTiTinTmnnrniriTirirx7JTiTxjr*irxirirznnra NEWS FROM THE CONGREGATIONS AKRON, OHIO On the first Sunday of Lent 112 of our church members participated in the Holy Communion in our church.
