As 2025 arrives and the train of time rolls on forth, remember that time waits for no man, but Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour. Christ came to give us the gift of salvation by dying on the cross for our sins. It is by the grace of God that we are saved. Yet faith without works is dead.
There is a Jesus story in each and every one of us. How we got to know Him? How we had a spiritual encounter with Him? With the help of the Holy Spirit, how we have grown closer to Jesus and Father God? It’s a story that transcends all believers in the sense that we all experienced it, and yet each of us has our unique story to tell. It’s a story that we wrote together with Christ. It’s the story of our life, of who we are in Christ. Of how far have we walked the narrow path. The distractions, the falling off the path. Of how sometimes we give in to sin and temptation and fall. But we did not remain fallen. We picked ourselves up and called upon His name. We sought His forgiveness, and we repented of our indiscretions. With Christ living in us, we want to continue to write our Jesus story with Him.
It is my prayer for all of us that we will continue to write our Jesus story in 2025 in a more fervent fashion. That we will live in the centre of His will. That we will be fulfilling His plans and purposes for our lives as much as we are living in this world but not of this world. That we will continue to serve God faithfully in His Kingdom of Grace.
Have a great 2025, everyone! May the peace of God, His grace and mercy, and goodness fill us, and may we dwell in His sweet presence every day in 2025 and for the rest of our days here on earth! Happy and blessed New Year!
