Well it is 2017. Are you ready?
What did you all do last night? Normally, we go to our church and serve the local law enforcement dinner. This time, we( wife, son, and myself) just stayed in and enjoyed talking to each other as we waited for midnight to come to welcome the new year. Our daughter was with a friend at a Christian concert, but we all said Happy New Year to her.
As I was writing this, it made me think of when Christ came to be our Lord and Savior. It was a new era for mankind. We now had two paths, be saved or not. Spend eternity with God and Christ or spend it in the Lake of Fire. What will you choose?
If you decide that you want to spend eternity with God and Christ, then what about everyone else? Do you want them to spend eternity with God and Christ as well? I pray the answer is yes. It does not matter what they have done, the answer should still be yes. If you answered no, I urge you to take a long hard look at yourself and ask why and do you think God would like that answer? If the answer is no, I am sorry to say I do not think you will be with God and Christ forever.
What will this new year bring for you: Hope, Happiness, Peace, Close relationship with God, Change in attitude and act more like Christ, Spread Christ’s message throughout the Earth, …., you fill in the ______________? I pray that you get closer with Christ and God and that you are able to show to others what Christ and God expect. It is not your responsibility to save people, but it is your responsibility to spread the message and to act like Christ.
Happy New Year!
