1 John 2:18-21 / John 1:1-18
As we come to the last day of the year 2020, we will think about how this year has turned out.
We might even be tempted to say: O God, can you please reboot 2020. The one that you sent had a virus! 😂
So, if we really could, would we really want to go back in time and start 2020 all over again?
The gospel passage began with these words: In the beginning was the Word.
It reminds us that Jesus, the Word of God, was with us as we began this year, and that He was with us throughout the year.
We may look back at the year with regrets and with disappointments at all the things that have gone wrong and think that it had been a really rough year.
But we have survived the year, and thanks be to God, we still are able to look forward with hope to the new year and the days to come.
But we must stand firm in our faith that Jesus has always been with us and will always be with us, no matter how rough and tough the days ahead may be.
It is our faith in Jesus that we can have the hope and the courage to look forward to the days to come.
The future is in the hands of Jesus. Let us thank Him for being our Saviour and He will bestow us with grace upon grace.
