"What a Friend We Have in Jesus," by Chieko Okazaki

 

Editor's Note: "This is an encore presentation of a previously-run interview"

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

Reflecting on these words from a favorite Protestant hymn of her youth, Chieko Okazaki writes with feeling and passion about the relationship each of us can have with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaking up especially for those who feel disenfranchised and overlooked in the church,Sister Okazaki reminds us to claim the blessings our Savior has in store for us.
