1 John 2:18-21 / John 1:1-18
Well, we have come to that day of the year when we will hear this old familiar song being sung or played on the radio - "Auld Lang Syne"
I wonder if we know what that phrase "Auld Lang Syne" means.
It literally means "long long ago" or "days gone by" or "old times".
Well it's the last day of the year and 365 days may have gone by, but it may not seem like so long ago or that it was long long ago since we began this year.
The gospel begins with the works: In the beginning ......
Obviously, it was not referring to the beginning of the year or even the beginning of time.
In fact, it is not even talking about any beginning. It is talking about a mystery that has no beginning or end.
Because the mystery of God is always and forever.
For us it may be the end of the year and we are about to begin a new year.
But God wants us to know that He is with us always and forever.
At every moment of our lives, He blesses us with grace upon grace.
May we also live our lives in the grace of God every moment of our lives.
May our lives be lived in truth so that the light of God shines in us.
