KRISTINA
Good Morning! I’m Kristina Crabtree Pastor of Mission and Evangelism at Central United Methodist Church!
Did you count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year! Oh the joy it is to bring in a new year! Some would say that this holiday is a crazy and unrealistic holiday to celebrate. Some people make a fuss about making New Year’s resolutions. But I say, the very celebration, the very re-new atmosphere is what we are all about as children of God.
2 Cor. 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Because you and I are in Christ we are a new creation.
You know in Lam. 3 where the word speaks of Gods mercies being new every morning. Every day can be a New Year’s Day celebration.
When you lay down tonight remember that you are a new creation in Christ and his mercies are new every day. Fall asleep in peace that tomorrow is a new day. But, if tomorrow has fear, sadness, un-sureness, or whatever is to come in 2016 know that Jesus is saying to you as he did to one Father in Mark 5:36 “Don’t be afraid, just trust me.” Have a happy new year’s day! Goodbye 2015, hello 2016!
