Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare. – Isa. 42:9
As one year ends, a new year begins!! A traveler with quite a number of bags had to board the train one day. When he reached the station he saw that the train had already started. He began to run in order to catch the train. But, since he had a lot of bags he was unable to get into the moving train. He had no other option but to leave his baggage behind to board the train!
The traveler represents us and his baggage represents our sins and failures. The moving train is our journey towards the upward calling of Christ. We need to let go of what has passed in 2018, in order to move forward in 2019. Our hope rests in our Living Redeemer and his promise today is to make all things new.
Let us pledge to move forward rather than look behind, to reflect Christ in our lives from this day forward!!
Wishing you a very Happy, Blessed and Christ-centered New Year 2019!!
