You see, January 1 will just be another day. Nothing new under that sun. But in THE SON all things are already new in our hearts. Don’t place your hope in the new year. Place your hope in the new creation, the new birth. Our new reality that is found in Christ and his unfailing covenant presence. And we don’t need a calendar change for that. No resolutions necessary. Just faith in “to live is Christ.”
