Crawford Simon Peter answered and said, “You are Christ, Son of living God.” (Matthew 16:16) And Jesus said to them, “I am bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (I Timothy 2:5 & 6) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than angels, for suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by grace of God, might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2:9) As we read Bible, we see several names that are used to describe Jesus Christ. Each name reflects an important aspect of Christ’s character. Let us take a look at some of these names. Jesus is Lamb of God. Jesus took away sin of world by sacrificing himself (John 1:29, I Timothy 2:5 & 6). He was perfect and without fault. These qualities allowed Jesus to be ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Even so, each man and woman must make choice to accept God through Christ, or reject him. It should be remembered, Jesus seldom forces himself on any man or woman.

The lake, along with other lakes in Klamath Basin, was one of major stopping points for water fowl that were migrating. It was a magnificent site to be able to see hundreds of thousands of snow geese flying so thick that they looked like a large flying snow bank. Something that has always been a mystery to scientists is how these birds know when to leave their current habitat and fly long distances to find a better habitat for upcoming change in weather. It is also a mystery how they get where they are going. While scientists have started to find out how adults follow pattern by following other adults that have been there before, they have not even started to find out how some birds know where to go. In 'The Shorebirds of North America' R.S. Palmer tells how adults of many shorebirds will fly south before young are ready to go. The young will then fly south when they are ready. They will end up in same area as adults. Scientists have no explanation of this at all! In insect world a similar thing occurs. The monarch butterfly in North America winters in two places. The western population will migrate to Monterray, California. The eastern population goes to a patch of forest north of Mexico City.
