Happy New Years Eve!
I hope that you’ve had a joyful Christmas season since we were together on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
New Years is an interesting time, since nothing really changes between December 31 and January 1, it’s just another day.
But, Christians redefine this time of year as a declaration of faith that God came into past as Jesus Christ the child, and has renewed the future, your future, as our saviour resurrected.
As Steve Bell has written, our past guilt is replaced with faith in God’s redeeming action, and fear of the unknown future is replaced with hope because of the resurrection.
This New Year make the declaration that you will follow Jesus and trust his path because you believe him when he says, “I am making all things new!” (Rev 21:5).
