Vanessa, a young woman, recently wrote the following- “…of all the holidays that I celebrate, New Year’s Eve is perhaps the most important to me. A new year marks a new beginning, a fresh start or the opportunity to start all over again. The truth is that ever since I was little I have always looked forward to this important date.” I am sure that Vanessa’s thoughts about the new year are held by many others. She speaks of a new beginning, a fresh start. And she is absolutely correct. But It is not only true about looking into a new year, in this case 2015, but also about the possibility of starting a new life. Paul the Apostle described what takes place when we recognize that we need God in our lives, and invite Christ in to forgive and cleanse and start us on the road to heaven. His words are, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he (or she) is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.” In this new year, a new life is waiting for all. There’s no better time than now to begin.
