Our Unchanging Jesus

December 31

As we embark upon another New Year, we ring out the old and ring in the new with the joy of knowing that the Christ we serve is in command of this entity we call time. We have seen the Mayan prophecy which many felt foretold a cataclysmic end to the world as we know it come and go without the total destruction of our planet that many feared.

We have heard the saber-rattling of bellicose nations, but to date, their machinations of war and conquest and subjugation have been kept largely at bay. We have noted the statistical increase of natural disasters such as earthquakes and devastating storms, but although the havoc they wreak is substantial, the earth still stands.

If there is one undeniable truth we may collectively reach at this juncture in time and place it is that the Savior of the world is still in the business of revealing Himself to lost man for the purpose of bringing as many as will receive Him into the arc of salvation that acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior affords to all men (See I Timothy 4:10). As you, dear reader, begin the year of 2013, may you go forward in the strength of the Lord and in the power of your absolute faith in Him.

May you be among those who have complete confidence that, “What HE has promised, HE is able to perform (Romans 4:21). May you be among those who “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5), knowing the reality of the unseen promises of the Lord Jesus Christ far exceeds the seeming veracity of anything you can see with your eyes or hear with your ears or perceive in the natural realm.

May you go forward into the Happiest of New Years with the unshakable blessing of faith in our unchanging Jesus.
